Pride has killed far too many people in Kaiserriech the world to let us add our own to the pile.
Patience my freind, patience. Vengance against the Japanese for their oppurtunism will come, but for now we have Traitors to crush. It may take time, a long time, but Japan will face music for her vulture behavior.
It ain't our war. If we join up with the Entente, we're fighting to bring back the old world order that brought about the First Weltkrieg. The syndicalist nations of Britain and France are democratic socialist societies that are a far cry from the despotism of the USSR, and the exiles want to tear that away for the sake of their old governments. The Germans and Japanese suck, but we can easily fight against them without humoring Edward's fantasies.
in the old international order, you at least didn't have to suffer the presence of nations who have basically decided that only Socialist states should be allowed the decent rights of nations, who feel it is fine to send thousands of soldiers to overthrow democratically elected governments because well, they didn't choose Socialism. This may not of started as our war, but the reds in Paris and London have decided to make it ours. It's not our fault they so badly want to give American boys an all expenses payed free tour of London and Paris.
Their assholes actively interfering in our affairs, their AT BEST just the Old Government with red paint.
Doesn't matter, the UoB and CoF are not invading the US, The Logistics don't exist, even in a civil war, it would still go about as well as Operation Sealion
I have no idea what you're arguing against, I agree the Entente Navies are essentially a wash if they become actively involved on our side.
They were ordered not to, we cannot control every actor on the ground, and we have cooperated with the SPA to the greatest extent possible in the leadup to the crisis, passing an anti-lynching bill, a stronger NLRA, we have done what we could.
The line is often much much blurrier than that, I don't think war will occur but there is a difference between a 1,000 strong Abraham Lincoln Brigade, and an 80,000 strong Corpo Truppe Volontarie
Their not getting 80 thousand "volunteers" into the United States, and they would stupid to do so.
That said, tens of thousands is a safe bet, at least on the Syndie side. America is a big investment and they don't have pesky neutrality laws or international communities to worry about, winning here is well worth, say 50 k soldiers, hell a lot more but they can't pull off too many. Germany on the other Hand is just here on the Kaisers whims and to test out her sweet new tanks. They don't have any particular need to win this conflict, especially when they have a war in Asia to win, an Africa to control, and Syndies and Savinkov to face off against in Europe.
Again, how on earth are they going to get tens of thousands of people across the ocean effectively? Its one thing if they warred the US, then at least they can mobilize transport and resources, logistics be damned but here... they are just teleporting over? Its not exactly an easy Plane ride over to the US, your going by naval vessel and even then ONLY possible that way if we decide to be stupid and decline ANY aid whatsoever and allow our enemies to have ALL the aid.
This is factually false, there were about 35,000 volunteers to the Spanish Republicans, the Italians made the single largest commitment at about 75,000 army soldiers for the Nationalists, not including the Air Force or Navy, along with about 10,000 Portuguese, and 15,000 Germans. America is important enough that the Internationale has been extensively supporting the SPA for quite some time now and have intervened immediately. I do not think it so absurd that they would commit comparable numbers of soldiers.
Every source i look at says at MOST 50k total, can i get a source on 75k from Italy alone, thanks?
To be safe I'd cut out the numbers, not entirely sure if the voting machine will register with them in.
They do have a fleet and ships. It would be difficult, no doubt, and more difficult still if we say transferred a fleet from the pacific to harrass them, but they could do it, If motivated.
Using their fleet like that would literally cause a war, The US alone wouldn't be able to stop it, due to the civil war, but Canada with its gigantic if outdated navy would have a massive logistical advantage.
