That sets a precedent that the West doesn't want happening

Just as NATO ships violating the Charter is a precedant that the rest of the world doesn't want happening?

They didn't violate any charter. The British Germans and Canadians aren't acting under the flag of NATO.

That wouldn't make any difference. In the '83 conflict, there was a reason why nobody came to give the British outright assistance, at least in the European sphere. Even if the navies aren't operating under the NATO flag, you have Britian, supported by other counties who happen to be members of NATO, fighting a war half-a-world away. THAT sents a dangerous precident that the world doesn't want to see.

Which charter? NATO or UN?

NATO.

Germany sending ships to help Britain (even outwith the NATO framework) would be enough to trample on plenty of toes around the world.

They requested assistance under article four and we sent help. It was supposed to be a police action it was never supposed to be a war.

[Ardboe Eire]

Libya, your post has absolutely no realism. Like, at all.
Change it.

It's fine to RP a comeback of pro-Gaddafi forces but it has to be gradual, realistic and include a little thing called background.

Ok I was crazy at trying for Tripoli so soon.
Maybe I'll try Sirte first.

The reason assistance wasn't given was it wasn't requested. The Americans were going to transfer ships to the British if one of their carriers got taken out. How does members of a military alliance assisting each other set a dangerous precedent?

Then they're there under the NATO flag, as they were sent due to a NATO Charter article being invoked.

If anything is the dangerous precedent here it is that Brazil unilaterally took over a British island and is now justifying it by calling it a "peace" tactic.

So now any country can just unilaterally take over anything if they think it will help bring "peace" (according to them)?

[SPQR Legions]

It isn't a crime to help your allies in wartime.

I understand guerrilla groups are available. Must they be current or can you scrape something together? And if not what of Syria just wondering? Or Iraq?

[Delanshar]

They gotta be real.

Hmm okay. Hey what ever happened to Syria in the RP just wondering?

[Delanshar]

We don't have someone playing Syria atm.

I got the idea from the occupation of Goa, actually.

You have to admit, it does rather nicely present a grim choice to the other side. They can either accept the slight demands and enter into talks, in which case they get their island back, or they can refuse, spend months reducing the island, all the while the Falklands conflict grinds to a halt with UK/NATO supply chains grinding to a halt.

I edited it.

[Kryskov]

Can I go ahead and say the fleet I assembled yesterday has arrived near Ascension?

[Ublia]

I noticed no one seems to be Iran why just out of curiosity?

I do have to say, although I disagree with it IC'ly, it does provide a good holding point/bargaining chip for Brazil and Argentina in the war.

With the island and the Brazilian Navy, pretty much anything less that a carrier battlefleet would be sure of winnings its way through, and I plan to turn the island into Iwo Jima, but with missiles.

UK and US, Cuba opened its ports for refueling to coalition forces.

And as Syria I can be a Ba'athist state? Of course though the Assads are gone replaced by newer forces within the party.
