Remember, publicly, all I've done is send one carrier group, which is a paltry force, so the obvious deduction is that it is the run-of-the-mill muscle flexing to show we mean 'business'.
The Canissian media has reported a number of smaller mobilizations and an increased pace of Naval rotation, but the bulk of that "internal memo" was just that-- a classified internal memo. Few outside Canissia will know about the enhanced recall time on the fighter and bomber forces, etc.
I put the memo there so it would show that I had alerted some forces in case shooting did start, and I responded, and people couldn't wonder how I got my forces spun up so fast.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around! If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!! Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!
Artists' impressions of "al-Moudkyp" at varying stages of its development
ZORIAN BIOLOGISTS DISCOVER NEW AMPHIBIAN SPECIES IN VELARIA New salamander found living in Dragonsnake River wetlands
PORT ADRIA, ZORIAN VELARIA - Zorian biologists working in eastern Velaria have officially revealed the existence of a new species of salamander living in the wetlands of the Dragonsnake River. Referred to by the natives as "al-Moudkyp," not many details have been disclosed about it so far...
I suck at writing biology-related articles, so yeah. Should I still go ahead with it anyway?

I never really intended to post that article anyway; I just took the opportunity to seize on the Mudkip pun.
Maybe the creatures are native to Klavostan and were also named in honor of al-Moudkyp...

I'd have to rework the concept a bit before I can actually finalize it.
So, al-Moudkyp was a famous Klavostani. Maybe one of the Zorian biologists who discovered the creatures in the Dragonsnake River wetlands was a Klavostani by birth and thought of al-Moudkyp when naming them. Maybe they were native to Klavostan all along, and they somehow managed to stow away aboard a cargo ship headed towards Zorian Velaria. So many possibilities...

You see, stuff like this is why people like Brandon better. His purges don't involve shooting people in the head...
EDIT: Also, what's Jeffrey's reaction to cutting of diplomatic ties? Several nations have done that, and are evacuating their missions.

I'd suggest having Jeffery thrown out by The People and such. Publicly executing politicians and shit isn't going to win him any support from the populace, so I guess we should totally go for the People Power option. Have FreeCom - San Doradan, Vinish, Gizmonic, Shroomanian stratellites - broadcast uncensored condemnations and news of Jeffery's atrocities. Have King Brandon declare statements to instill courage and whatnot to The People. Have the Canissian Coalition - MESS, CATO and FTO alike - fund the rightful ruler of the nation. Protect him, give him support.
It won't be conventional warfare. It won't even have to be warfare. It could be a battle of hearts and minds. Win the people and all that! Hah!

you suck
On one hand, Jeffery is a dick. On the other hand, if we stick our noses into this foreign affair and fuck it up like what the Americans and the Soviets did all over the Cold War and end up ruining a Third World nation, then we might as well not bother. If we can't do it right, might as well not do it at all.

Dammit, Shroom. I was just starting to get over that one, too...
You know, I get the humour of it. It was pretty funny. It was just... way too silly in context... XD

Oh man. Just wait. Pretty soon, you'll get all the comedy you can get.

Technically, Brandon was the usurper. Jeffery just got his rightful throne back. Brandon came to power via coup, after all.

Yeah, but Brandon was well-liked by th epeople; Jefffrey is an autocrat.
