Polls were pretty on the money. Rutte won(or will look to be winning) by more than expected not too dissimilar to Van der Bellen in Austria. Dominoes to me look like they're slowly starting to swing the other way. With back to back victories on the Mainland I think this is going to show a stronger message for the remaining electorate across Europe as a whole
VVD looks to have lost some seats(about 10 or so) but so far still looks to be retaining the most. PvdA got completely demolished and apparently their loss was the Green's gain..

Even as someone who has rarely found himself on the losing side of an Air war,(less than a handful) throughout my time in PnW, the lack of any sort of AA outside of other Air Units really didn't sit well with me over time as my own Air force grew. Larger Airforces with no equal opposition can destroy ridiculous amounts of ground units and infra with little opposition. Aircraft are still pretty powerful tbqh and I personally feel a dedicated Anti Air unit, or light Anti air capabilities on behalf of ground forces could do something to lessen that.
Air Superiority can't be achieved from the ground but it sure as hell can be denied from it to varying degrees.
That's just me though.

ITT: OP fails to the see the point of why the game rejects certain ideas and elements, insisting that people get over it while being unable to get over the fact that the answer to his query is simply that the Admin does not wish these elements in his game.

Private entities have the right to censor speech or ideas on their platforms. There is literally nothing else to it. He is well within his rights to ban elements he deems undesirable. Such actions are lawful. Sheepy is not a government agent or entity.
End of story. There is nothing Immersive about wanting your desire to play Nazi Germany/similar factions because you, like everyone else making this argument in every WW2 game ever with very few exceptions don't actually want to play as them as they truly were if we're going by your immersion and historical accuracy argument. That is unless you want to argue as to the inclusion of Slave labor, Genocide/Ethnic Cleansing and Rape as well. After all, you are searching for historically accurate portrayals.

To people outside the alliance it probably won't be much more than a few mil at best depending on relationships and presentation ect..
However, anyone from noobs to my superiors can probably vouch how stupidly generous I can get in BK. I've taken upwards of up to 25 million in debt back in the days of yonder 1.x million income through some tiny white lies at least once to help fellow alliance mates out.

Obama's list didn't actually "Ban" anyone for starters. It severely limited the visas to refugees from these 7 countries, but never outright stopped the flow.
It also never targeted Dual Nationals, Green card/Visa holders, nonimmigrants and those refugees already in transit to the United States post approval from these nations. Though it did affect travelers to these areas during a certain time period. Even then it was with extra checks and not an outright ban.
Trump targets all of the above and enacted an actual Ban rather than limiting Visas as the Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 actually prescribed.
Claiming to be National security conscious while allowing people in from nations who have by large been responsible for the majority of deaths on American Soil through religiously motivated terrorist attacks(AKA Saudi Arabia) while rejecting those who have either not been involved at all, or have made attempts but likely failed is hilarious admittedly. ISIS propaganda must be quite excited.

TIL: The Syrian Army in Palmyra == The whole world.
Calling this a seemingly impossible victory is like saying that Brazil scored a seemingly impossible (consolation)goal within the last minute of the 2014 FIFA semi finals.
Yea you got one goal(Palmyra), it doesn't change the fact that you're down by 6(Dabiq(MUH APOCALYPSE), Sinjar, Kirkuk, Ramadi, Fallujah,Kobani ect... ) with less than a minute to go.

40+ year career experience and ODA 574 being the closest thing he has to a black mark. Then again, he's a human and they aren't perfect.
A pretty solid pick all around.

Which is all fine and good but Rumsfeld wasn't mentioned. Americans were.
"Americans like X, Y and Z have no leg to stand on while criticizing Castro" is a hell of a lot different than "Americans have no leg to stand on while criticizing Castro"

Cuba executed way fewer people per capita than the USA has, and the US also arrested gays and locked up political opponents (or I guess people are just going to forget the whole Red Scare?). I'm not saying Castro was a saint, but American have literally no leg to stand on to criticize him for anything.
This is kind of, but not exactly the lionizing I think Roz was talking about. The use of Whataboutism/tu quoue in this context.
"Cuba was bad sure, but the US was worse" is a lazy cop out and prime example of things the left needs to stop doing. You can still oppose the Red scare, imprisonment of Gays ect...while still condemning Castro's regime. They aren't mutually exclusive and worst of all the implication is that Americans criticizing Castro are all somehow ok with or are trying to sidestep the bad America did. I consider myself fairly left leaning on most issues, but I'm not going to try and whitewash even in the slightest Castro's actions just because of something America did. Especially when I oppose all of the stated objections in American usage.
It's frankly been nothing but a disappointment to me to see so many progressives in the US and abroad try to sidestep Castro's misdeeds because "BUT WHATABOUT AMERICA".
Nothing against you personally speaking, just an observation after a few days.

Your service is much appreciated as is the service of all veterans to their homelands. I have quite a few phone calls to make myself today, living in a Military family myself, though not having served personally(yet)

This is the stuff baseball is made out of and I'm proud to call myself a fan today and for years to come. Watched every single game to term, 1-7.
Congrats to Chicago! You guys earned this WS bar none.

How are we "inciting" Russia?
Didn't you hear? It's America's fault that Russia mistreated its neighbors so much that they literally ran to the other side by their own free will.

Snowden had one job, literally one job.
He claimed that he revealed what he did because he wanted to show the American people that their trust was being abused. That's all fine and dandy and I appreciate the sacrifice he made in that respect.
Then of course he suddenly decided EVERYONE in the world needed to know the finer details of American/British SIG/ELECINT as if every other country in the world somehow lacks a spy agencies of their own and never engages in espionage. Allies all spy on each other. No one talks about it because it would be bad publicity. This is what marks the difference between a whistleblower who gave up his rights and a man who's playing a moral crusader IMO.
I mean, am I happy that Foreign powers engage in cyber espionage against the US? No, but I'm not stupidly naive enough to believe that an agency who's literal job it is to collect and analyze intelligence is somehow evil for collecting and analyzing intelligence.

(OOC: He's a member of Phoenix, the same alliance I'm in. Raiders won't profit, I know Abu roleplays as a Jihadist, but this war has happen in-game and has to be handle or it will result in further unneeded conflict. Also, did you intentionally call me "Never" or...?).
You DO realize that he performed a spy attack and posted the results publicly yes?
He isn't being raided, he's being hit back for not being the brightest tool in the shed and suffering consequences

Rose would like to apologize for the actions of our former member. We should have been swifter in our response, but tbh, when I saw the thread title I assumed it was just role-play nonsense. We hope this resolution is satisfactory.
Still pretty chill in my book. <3

Islamic hackers aren't so good at protecting their own information, according to my friend who gave me the following.
You successfully gathered intelligence about Arabia. Your spies discovered that Arabia has 50 spies, $1,899,444.71, 124.02 coal, 1,179.47 oil, 162.11 uranium, 205.00 lead, 271.80 iron, 165.00 bauxite, 1,229.89 gasoline, 2,439.06 munitions, 2,023.19 steel, 952.48 aluminum, and 11,140.68 food.
Stockpile of the century folks.

I don't know if you're related to Phil of the future or what not but I can definitely say that for the armies of the 21st century, the infantry remains the backbone and almost all other elements exist in some way shape or form to support the infantryman.
Nuclear weapons, missiles and drones cannot capture nor hold territory, two of the most important tasks for any military engaged in war. The fact that you also treat the potential use of Nuclear weapons as casually as the 1947 air force is quite frankly beyond disturbing. Nevermind that Eugenics is a meme science as far as applicability on humans is.
