PenguinSalsa posted:True, I kinda asked for that Why do you think the Indians sent us away so quickly after the Lhasa strike? We hit the Chinese pride so hard with that strike that it very conceivably could have led to PRC forces crossing the border into India. Do you think Angola is more stable after our campaign there? Everything we've done has been horrifically destabilizing for the regions we've been in. We're pretty American in that regard thinking about it.

If the PRC didn't want to escalate with India they maybe shouldn't have shot down half the loving Indian air force. I'm still kinda astonished that battle didn't lead to an actual war. Downing that many jets in an engagement is unheard of in the modern world, usually.

Everything we've done has been horrifically destabilizing for the regions we've been in. We're pretty American in that regard thinking about it. Actually, we came into Angola when there were three factions actively at war. When we left there was one faction in control, no open fighting and external powers with a heavy interest in keeping things from going hot again. It might deteriorate but we made the place more, not less stable. Whether that lasts is a political question, but our involvement made politics possible there.

I'm not, that was always the likely outcome (the Rafales actually did better than expected). I'm just more surprised that it didn't lead to the Indian public calling for blood. It was a direct battle between state actors following serious escalation by putting those 5th gens on the border in the first place. That's the kind of poo poo that leads to real wars.

Which was immediately followed by the 5th gens getting punked by a bunch of assholes with jet trainers. Both sides got embarrassed hard and blaming us so we could leave and take the heat with us in order to deescalate is a natural use of a PMC.

I'd say so if China wasn't constantly following us around the globe sticking their dick into hornets nests out of sheer buttmad. E: We have tied up a pretty significant amount of China's ability to project force in project gently caress Goons. Yes, they generally have other, tangential interests like in Angola, but they are pretty thirsty for goon blood.

Angola was international dick waving and a chance to corner the lithium market, and shipping missiles to BSNC isn't gonna break the bank - hell, it might be worth it just to see how well those anti-ship missiles fare against a halfway decent military. Plus, there's no way China isn't getting into fights we don't see, that's what major powers do.

Everything we've done has been horrifically destabilizing for the regions we've been in. We're pretty American in that regard thinking about it. Yes, I'd argue that Angola is more stable for the reasons that Anta mentioned. Angola's not necessarily in a better position but it's certainly more stable (for the moment). Lhasa ended far worse and it's amazing that China and India backed down so easily but that's not entirely unexpected since both sides made an extremely costly mistake and probably decided that a war wasn't worth it. Far better to blame a PMC to save face. It's kinda funny that profit has been a bigger motivator for escalation than national pride. loving everything up and leaving without fully understanding or even learning the consequences is an important theme of the LP but we haven't even been close to starting WW3. Yet. *Fake edit: The Goons are probably worth extra whatever the Chinese equivalent of destructobux is. Not a primary target. PenguinSalsa fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Jun 28, 2017 |

  Bust out your hockey mustaches, lace up the skates, and prepare to make history! Zack, Jack, and a dude named Louie, have some amazing options for a nuclear weapon. I'll elaborate more tomorrow, but we have to pick who gets it in case we happen to find one.

Don't stop us now, we'll fly straight and true, we are here to make history! Let's make it happen, let's turn this around, yes! We are here to make history! (Seriously, though, I was not aware of the Goon reference...at all.) Script for Bacarruda is incoming as we speak!

 No, I didn't get hit by a truck, just worked some very long shifts with a Lithuanian consultant and now am dealing with a head cold. Yay. So here's some goodies! Working on the mission, I've got some awesome audio clips this time through as well. You guys will like this. We've been able to narrow some details down on this supposed weapon on St. Lawrence. In 2017 Mitsuhashi devised a new way to deep water dredge in order to scrape out every calorie from the ocean. International waters was the best as they could just go balls deep and drag everything from coelacanths to sharks and turn em all into Frosty's Fish Fingers. It worked loving awesome. All of this was the brainchild of... Hiroto Hasegawa. Soon they were dredging up aircraft. Old boats. Schooners. Galleons. They had no idea what might come up next. Most of it was shitcanned right down again and then Hiroto realized that there was still valuable stuff on the bottom. So they moseyed on over to the K-219 and started zigging and zagging. They brought up a handful of warheads. Mitsuhashi corporate was in a bind. They were priceless, but who would actually buy them? Most any authority would just seize them. So they did some discrete shopping to South Africa, Mexico, Thailand, and Tiawan. The rest is history. Except Mitsuhashi went back to K-219 after the Kamchatka civil war went hot and the prime fishing grounds were shutdown. Hiroto oversaw another dredge and this time they pulled up three devices. One was missing the fissile material while the other two were in very bad shape. The Taiwanese were slated to purchase those as well but the deal fell through once the Branson Missouri Peace Talks and Precious Moments Outlet Store fired up. But the Taiwanese couldn't let Mitsuhashi walk, word could never get out how exactly Taiwan got the weapons. So Taiwan was the intermediary between AngerPEACE and Mitsuhashi. At the end of the day Hiroto had no idea who the final buyer was. The Taiwanese needed the money. Mitsuhashi needed the money. Midori Hasegawa wanted the money. She followed the truly priceless artifact, the devices, and that's where we are today. Zack, Jack, and Louie have all found some potential buyers if, and this is a big if, we secure a device. First is Zack's Contact.  Sammie St. Vincent is from the company. One time love interest to Zack. At least until Zack went full fantasy football. She's a career operative and is going out on a limb for us. If she can secure the device it'll open promotions for her, and possibly procurement for us. $300 mil Next is Jack's contact.  After Microsoft and Amazon merged into MicroZon they were at a significant disadavantage in comparison to the WalTarget congolmerate and of course the Apple-Tesla-Facebook triumvirate. Jack has clients within all of these and MicroZon thinks if they detonate one of these babies near a Facebook data center it'll do wonders for the stock price. $350 mil Louie is a connection through Klaus and Pedersen. Once we inquired about the NBC capabilities of the Gripens, K&P passed word to Louie who represents the IAEA.  These guys have been trying to prove their worthiness since the whole Taiwan-China thing. Finally securing a weapon would make a nice feather in the ole cap. It'll make a few people happy,. Saab, K&P, etc, but once word gets out the MicroZon conglomerate and the Company won't be happy. $275 mil So there it is Hired Goons. Pick one. The Good? The Bad? The Ugly? I'll leave it up to you to decide.
