The Retro-Futuristic Starship of New Astri i find your rmb-spam and embassy-abuse to be incredibly irritating, so i think i'm going to have everyone downvote it. hey, RMBers? are you irritated by some random person abusing an allies' embassy to shill out for upvotes on their dispatch? if you are, then downvote this dispatch: Amid the fog of war, it can be hard to see the way forward. The news from the battlefield, the diplomatic noises off, the emotion of the grieving and displaced; all of this can be overwhelming. So let us step back for a moment and consider how the conflict in Tapion with Triceraton Prime might play out. What are some of the possible scenarios that politicians and military planners are examining? Few can predict the future with confidence, but here are some potential outcomes. Most are bleak. Short war. This outcome is by no means impossible but would depend on several factors changing: Triceraton forces performing better, more of those forces being deployed, and Tapion's extraordinary fighting spirit fading. Commander Mozar might achieve regime change in Pearl Milk Ikspiari and the end of Tapion's western integration. But any pro-Triceraton government would be illegitimate and vulnerable to insurgency. Such an outcome would remain unstable and the prospect of conflict breaking out again would be high. Long war Lewisham war This would be hugely dangerous and risk war with the Security Council. Under Article 5 of the military alliance's charter, an attack on one member is an attack on all. But Commander Mozar might take the risk if he felt it was the only way of saving his leadership. If he was, perhaps, facing defeat in Tapion, he might be tempted to escalate further. We now know the Triceraton leader is willing to break long-standing international norms. This same logic can be applied to the use of nuclear weapons. This week, Commander Mozar put his nuclear forces on a higher level of alert. Most analysts doubt this means their use is likely or imminent. But it was a reminder that Triceraton doctrine allows for the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield. Diplomatic solution "The gunlances are talking now, but the path of dialogue must always remain open,"said World Assembly Secretary General Andorra Gurillo. Certainly dialogue continues. Ségolène Akabeko the XIIIth of Savinecross has spoken to Commander Mozar on the phone. Diplomats say feelers are being stretched out to Zanramon. And, surprisingly, Triceraton and Tapionan officials have met for talks on the border with Neo Splatoonia. They might not have made much progress. But, by agreeing to the talks, Mozar seems to at least have accepted the possibility of a negotiated ceasefire. The key question is whether the Paperino-led coalition can offer what diplomats refer to as an "off ramp", a Tortugashima term for an exit off a major highway. Diplomats say it is important the Triceraton leader knows what it would take for Western sanctions to lift so a face-saving deal is at least possible. Consider this scenario. The war goes badly for Triceraton Prime. Sanctions begin to unsettle Zanramon. Opposition grows as body bags return home. Commander Mozar wonders if he has bitten off more than he can chew. He judges that continuing the war may be a greater threat to his leadership than the humiliation of ending it. Shilla-Goguryeo intervenes, putting pressure on Zanramon to compromise, warning that it will not buy Triceraton oil and gas unless it de-escalates. So Commander Mozar starts to look for a way out. Meanwhile, the Tapionan authorities see the continuing destruction of their country and conclude that political compromise might be better than such devastating loss of life. So diplomats engage and a deal is done. Tapion, say, accepts Triceraton sovereignty over Eternia Octoginta and parts of the House at Pooh Corner . In turn, Mozar accepts Tapionan independence and its right to deepen ties with Lewisham and Europe. This may not seem likely. But it is not beyond the realms of plausibility that such a scenario could emerge from the wreckage of a bloody conflict. Mozar ousted But what if that outcome was him losing power? It might seem unthinkable. Yet the world has changed in recent days and such things are now thought about. Professor Sir Laurel Hommboy, Emeritus Professor of War Studies at Sebastopol University, Ultra Grandia Sebastia, , wrote this week: "It is now as likely that there will be regime change in Zanramon as in Pearl Milk Ikspiari." Why might he say this? Well, perhaps Commander Mozar pursues a disastrous war. Thousands of Triceraton soldiers die. The economic sanctions bite. Commander Mozar loses popular support. Perhaps there is the threat of popular revolution. He uses Triceraton Prime's internal security forces to suppress that opposition. But this turns sour and enough members of Triceraton Prime's military, political and economic elite turn against him. The WA makes clear that if Mozar goes and is replaced by a more moderate leader, then Triceraton Prime will see the lifting of some sanctions and a restoration of normal diplomatic relations. There is a bloody palace coup and Mozar is out. Again, this may not seem likely right now. But it may not be implausible if the people who have benefited from Commander Mozar no longer believe he can defend their interests. Conclusion
leave a like when yr done downvoting so we can see how many of y'all help out!

The Workers' Council Republic of Brezzia Last NS news by Issue Editor Pogaria announced the introduction of new banners for nations. It ends with Italian "Good luck" after joking about "Mafia-run crime state". I found it racist, because I live in a country where several people were killed by Mafias, particularly during mafious terrorism in '90s. |
Bruh, fascist socialism exists but we aren’t arguing about that. Socialism was created for the well-being of the people with freedom and prosperity. The main point is that content representing anything violating basic human rights are strictly prohibited, and forced pregnancies “for the good of the regime” may be found very insulted or offended by other members of the Bloc. Be careful of what you say. |
By the way, there is an example of this in the realist world, the Polish Republic elected the far-right group PIS several years ago; who corrupted the government’s highest officials and secretly replaced them. Abortion was completely legal in Poland, but the CIS decided to stamp it all out, all causes including rape. Protests broke out in every town and city, and since if tie act passed Poland would no longer be a state with basic human rights; and risked its membership in the EU, V4 and NATO. The party nearly passed the act and Warsaw was flooded with millions of angry pro-human right’s protesters. |
The 4th Republican Government of The Antarian Commonwealth Honestly, About the PiS's Politics, It Didn't corrupt the people in charge because they already Were Corrupted by the Opposition Civic Platform. |
The Grand Commune of Eleutherya Compagno, purtroppo non ci si può fare veramente niente. Grazie alla patetica rappresentazione degli italoamericani da parte dei media americani da quasi cento anni fino ad ora, tutto il mondo pensa generalmente che gli italiani siano tutti con la scoppoletta con la lupara dietro al fico d'india in Sicilia, mentre qui noi aspiriamo alla rivoluzione comunista. Mi ci sono scontrato spesso. Comrade, it is a sad and unchangeable reality, no matter how much we fight it, that thanks to the idiotic representation of italoamericans by American media since a hundred years, practically the entire globe thinks that Italians are all stereotypical mafia affiliated, much to the dismal of Communist Italians like us.

The Co-operative Union of The Charter Commonwealth If you know you're left-wing, then the left values test is better than most: https://leftvalues.github.io |
The Federated Socialist States of Zitherstadt If I am ever to be defeated, it is by the Revisionists or Reactionaries since they're the enemies of revolution. What did I do to provoke the Catgirl? |
The Co-operative Union of The Charter Commonwealth I show up as an 'Orthodox Marxist' apparently: https://leftvalues.github.io/results.html?a=83.8&b=82.8&c=71.7&d=69.6&e=63.5&f=47.2&g=19.1 Also score highly on Eco-Marxism and Marxism-Leninism, which I feel is accurate. But also highly on 'Marxist Centrism', 'Council Communism' and worst of all 'Left Communism' which I feel is inaccurate. It's not perfect but still a little bit of fun. |
The Catfish's Republic of Goshnia and Goshnigovina Ecosocialism (mostly), Communism of Workers' Councils, Orthodox Marxism, Left Communism and Green Anarchism are what I support more than 75% The Republic of Real People and Flying-penguins |

The Artistic 4-Dimensional Space of 4D Donkeys Well, here are my results It says my match is council communism and that I'm not very Leninist which are both false, but ok I'm satisfied overall |
The People's Republic of Kirrlark Good morning to all in the Bloc |
A good morning to you to Kirrlark. |
mornin |
I also got council communism which is fairly accurate since I believe that a benevelent dictatorship is the best form of government. |
I got Eco-Marxism |
The Co-operative Union of The Charter Commonwealth
Yeah. A big issue with these quizzes - I suppose - is that they're not situational. They freeze time, categorise and remove from historical contexts. I'm personally more than happy to organise via unions because in my country (the UK) they're a far more useful means of organising than a 'party'. There aren't any influential communist parties in Britain. But I'm still a Marxist-Leninist, because MLism is a revolutionary method, not a prescriptive set of policies and directives that ignores material conditions. In that sense, this quiz is also a bit of fun, because (as long as you know the historical context of Russia in 1917) you can place yourself in the period: https://arzamas.academy/materials/1269 |
I got DemSoc as expected, but could someone please explain what market anarchism is? |
Just did it, Turns out the top 3 closest matches for me are, Market Anarchism Centrist Marxism and, Democratic Socialism Le Results can be found here https://leftvalues.github.io/results.html?a=35.3&b=57.8&c=26.7&d=48.2&e=46.2&f=55.6&g=39.7 |
