Nation Building A World of Strife: 1955

[Shireling]

That's the backup plan, but right now, I have over half of the PCs supporting the withdrawal of troops from Egypt.

Yeah, but we all know this ended by Eisenhower grabbing everyone by the balls. *looks at lcom*

the United States will continue to support her allies. Should any country threaten the sovereignty of the United States or her allies it will be a warm day in that country, followed by a long winter

 

[Deadkool]

I by no means have plans to invade territory belonging to the UK or US. It seems you two have an inverse opinion.

Call it paranoia.

 

[lcomstock4]

To trust the word of an enemy is not just stupid it sucidal

 

[Deadkool]

You keep saying enemy. I've not really done anything to you.

well I've never looked at it that way your past leaders have all had such bad relations I never thought of the ussr as a friend maybe that could change but there's a lot of ground to overcome

 

[Deadkool]

Did I...did I just broker peace between the US and USSR?

I'm willing to listen

Does anyone know what @NecroKnight is talking about?

 

[Shepard]

@NecroKnight i dont think I dictated any of your actions. Also, I hope you realize that the Egyptian government (the actual government, not that Soviet-backed ultra-nationalists) support Blufor intervention. We haven't taken any further offensive action. Operation Tripartite is a Seize and Hold mission of the Suez Canal Zone to keep it open for international trade.

Which you only now mentioned now. AFTER I've said - that the same government had asked for Italian support.


Since nobody controlled Egypt - I took it by historical accuracy. That being, the ruler is Abdul Nasser - who began the nationalization of the Suez Canal.


I dictated that fact first - so where do you take the fact, that Egypt supports your attack? When I RP'ed in the first reply to your Egypt attack they didn't.

 

[NecroKnight]

Its 1955(56) around time - and since nobody controlled Egypt and you didn't mention anything either. Then the current ruler is President Nasser and his government. Whom hate both France, Britain and Israel.


So again; I am asking what are you meta-gaming here?

 

[Shepard]

Not really since I ran this by the GM already figuring we'd start with historical accuracy and if you have a more reliable source, I'd love to know because from I know and learned, the Egyptian government supported intervention. The USSR backed the nationalists and the US only got pissed because the UK didn't say anything about it.


That, and I told you already that it wasn't a declaration of war and that the president supported intervention.

 

[Shepard]

I don't care if you're against the British intervention but im just letting you know that is the nationalists you'd be backing (well I do care but you get the point). I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew that it wasn't a declaration of war and invasion of the state, all tripartite is supposed to do is seize and hold the canal to keep it open.

 

[NecroKnight]

Uhm...you do have read your history right?


Its 1955-56 - and who was the president then? Nasser...


He started the nationalization of the Canal. And its stated on wikipedia, he disliked the British. Engaged Israel in the Arab-Israel War in 1947...


So...where did you get the info - about President Nasser, who started nationalizing the Suez Canal - offending British-French companies in the region. Wants his own country 'supported' by his enemies?


Because he wanted to use the funds - to build a dam in Egypt. Go read on wikipedia and get back to me on that.


@Shepard

 

[NecroKnight]

The USSR supported Egypt against Britain then.


US got pissed for Britain starting nearly WW3. And for that act, Britain lost most of its political power until Thatcher.

To clear everything up. After President Naguib resigned in November of 1954 there was not a President until Nasser assumed office in June of 1956. Though during the Suez Crisis Nasser was the leader of Egypt as he was the one behind the Free Officers movement, was elected chairman of the RCC which was in charge of supervising Egypt and Sudan after the 1952 revolution and he also forced President Naguib to resign. Therefore Nasser, though officially not president in 1955 was the leader of Egypt during and after the Suez Canal Crisis. Hope this clears everything up.

@Shepard


Fair enough. So could you fix your inaccuracy Shepard, please. The one stating, where Nasser is suddenly pro-British, when he obviously isn't. And actively resisting your invasion as well.
