"Reparations? If anybody owes the families of the slain anything, it is you. We make no secret of who our enemies are, nor of the fact that we will kill them when and where we can, and knowing this, you still chose to let them hide among you. Had you not done so, we would have had no cause to strike."

~ Tiziano De Santis, I.D.R., in response to demands for reparations to the families of those killed in drone strikes.

Facts and Figures of Life

The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.

The careful application of terror is also a form of communication.

Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the world.

Things are more like they are today than they ever were before.

Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for.

Friends may come and go but enemies accumulate.

I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

If you think there is good in everybody, you haven’t met everybody.

"The cold war was, in a way, something of a blessing. With western countries terrified that the disillusioned would turn to socialism, they were forced to soften the edges of capitalism, with healthcare, unemployment benefits, state pensions etc.
When the Soviet Union's collapse became imminent, they didn't need to fear people might turn red, so they started a campaign of reform that was devastatingly anti social, and no one could complain, because the free-market had a monopoly of ideology.
It's a bit like when WCW ended and WWF immediately began to suck. When they were no longer worried that you might switch over to Nitro, they could run Raw as a money-box rather than wasting cash bothering to make it entertaining. Nobody's jumping off the top of a cage anymore, they're just stood in the middle of the ring drinking Mountain Dew whilst wearing a Snickers T-Shirt and miming: Buy the network."


-Historian Boots Fielding



"When an oppressed people finally overthrow a dictatorship, why are they left holding it's debt? Why must they pay back loans taken out to pay for water-cannons, torture implements, surveillance cameras and police wages that were used to savage them? Not to mention money funelled out of the country into the dictator's Swiss bank accounts. Where is the justice there?"

BIASED NATION EXAMINATIONS COMING SOON.


"For a long time, most of Nexus society has habituated to be anti-Frenkish - and rightly so. Alas, there are, admittedly, worse nations and races to plague the Earth. The Russians, for one, augment the holy body that God engendered to 'reinforce themselves'. Yet, who is to verbalize that their collective consciousnesses has become so deluded, that their number one goal is to assert communist trans-humanism upon the world?

Now, let us not forget the Ardavians. For the most part, they mimic the Frenkish in most of their secular life. Their religion, however, is to worship of their designated 'holy leaders'. The Europeans are more posh Frenks, and the Asians are the multiplying rabbits that are allied to the Russians. Antarctica is simply a slave to Ardavia. Let us not forget the dwindling Caliphate, however, clinging on to the last bastions of Islam circumvented by nations that visually perceive any and all religion as sin.

South America and anarchic Africa, however, seem to be the most promising for friendship. The South Americans only dis-relish us for our usurpation of the Caribbean, and virtually nothing else. We have already sent missionaries to anarchic Africa, for-fended by monastic order soldiers of course.

Time will tell the fate the world from now on."

Wikipedia is a tool to make hard data look more presentable to the common eye. Yes, anyone can edit it, but if you find some kind of falsities and take them to heart, it's not the website's fault; it's your own. Stop whining about how 'anyone can edit it' and look for yourself.

"I know that this peace will not last. I predict that when this peace does end, our enemy will not be the Beu, or the Belkans, or the Krone like in the Great War... but the Communists. And when that war eventually happens, tanks and armoured vehicles will be the weapons of choice. Aircraft will be used to attack the enemy in places were the rest of the military cannot reach, including their homeland. And overall, movement will be the dominating form of warfare on the battlefield." -- Colonel Salinas Milton of the Euro Asian Army, to a writer typing out his book, The Future of Warfare on a typewriter, 1926



"I want new battleships that can fire out to the horizon; I want more aircraft carriers with larger capacity and longer striking range; I want new a new generation of fighters and bombers; I want submarines that can fire the best torpedoes; I want destroyers capable of hunting down and destroying enemy submarines; I don't want excuses!" -- Grand Admiral Klaas Addiks to a subordinate officer upon getting his rank, 1936

"Long days and nights spent in the dense forests and steep hills of the Bavarian Alps, battling against the Austrians and Sardinians invading German soil. Many lives lost, many a comrade and longtime friend ended up as blood-encased corpses their dead eyes looking forlorn. Arguably, the bravest and most determined of our troops were the Liechtensteiner volunteers, who were eager to push the Axis forces out of their homeland. So strange to see saurs from such a tiny, seemingly insignificant mountain-based nation fight more valiantly than even the Imperial Gebfirsjäger."

"The 'Kaiserjäger' or 'Alpini Imperiali' in Italian, is one of the best forces in the Imperial and Royal Army, drawing troops from the states of Tyrol, Lombardy-Venetia, Vorarlberg, Carinthia, Styria, and Salzburg. There autonomous units from Liechtenstein, Bavaria, and Sardinia. In both World Wars, they battled the French. Of course we have other Kaiserjäger units, especially the Carpathian mountain troops who fought bravely against the Soviet advances."

"The best we had was lost in various 'adventures' when it came to their bulk; the Red Brigade which was ideologically dedicated. Many original members were guerrillas since the 1950s. During our pro-Soviet phase The Red Brigade separated into smaller detachments that served in Congo, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Zimbabwe and Zamba, Vietnam (this one clandestinely), and they were fond of volunteering to prove themselves. 66% of them died in combat though, mostly by fighting as North Vietnamese or in Rhodesia. However by the mid 1970s they were placed on a leash. Most of the survivors in Africa returned and followed orders, however the vast majority of the remainders in Vietnam defected and stayed there or in the USSR.

This is relevant because if there are any survivors they can lawfully return as of now following a pardon."

-The Office Lady




"When it comes to the 106 war brides (presumably), the nationalities of Africans are to be specified for basic protocol. When it comes to the Vietnamese they will either have to be given false nationalities and names or imaginary student passes. All mentions of returning 'Vietnamese' individuals marked LUNA-V are to be forwarded and approved by the Ministry of State Security by the highest officials within this Ministry. Administrators are to say only what their subordinates need to know on this matter, when proceeding with paperwork. Do not Copy. "

“Now look here son, I used to be an Archangel. Ninth Marine Division. I’ve dropped from orbiting heights to bring death and destruction to my enemies. I’ve charged straight into the fire of guns much larger than the one you have right now. I’ve been through so much war and death at this point, I simply am incapable of being actually afraid of death at the hands of some sissy with a gun. Now I’m not going to charge you or your buddies, or signal some idiot who might be outside or try to escape from this room. All I’m going to do enjoy some of this very fine whiskey while I wait for you to release us or kill us or for you to get killed by some bravado insertion team that will probably kill half of the hostages anyway.
