The Commonwealth of Chrisdom

[paul]

Hey Panzer,

Ever since Spurrier I have not been able to support the Gators.

[panzergator]

Because you were not allowed? I confess Zook wasnt my favorite, and the jokers who came after were disasters. But the fault was in our AD and the UF prez, not the team's. Yeah, I wish they had rehired Spurrier. But we are really gonna p off chrisdom by talking about this in his thread... I'm a Gator whether the football team wins or not.

After the visiting task for docked in the Azores,.... The Canberra is host to the task force command, which received Flash Traffic, Level 3....Be prepared to depart on 6 hour notice which may be within 24 hours from now. The task force with the Canberra, DDG, SSN, FFG, and FSM and also the two LST, must be ready for active deployment. Gator State is saber rattling, We expect it is just noise as they do not have any military forces near the Commonwealth nor our military forces. Nor do we have any military forces near them. The likelihood of conflict is low... Low probability of conflict. The G.S. does have light forces that could provide a tactical, operational and small chance of strategic surprise. The delivery ability is doubtful (transport/cargo aircraft) and sustained logistics seems completely inadequate for any airborne/air-mobile insertion into the Commonwealth, unless another country provide access, support of infrastructure in munitions, fuel, service and repair.
. Considering the political landscape and relationship, relationship is fairly benign. Only issue is through the U.I.N., which was misguided evaluation by the Gator State of the Commonwealth of a World/Global Tax. The Commonwealth was not in-favor of. The CoC was just reporting and willing to discuss to understand the scale and scope of such a proposal.
.
Putinville is significantly closer, they lack any force projection ability from Naval forces. Their land forces are robust and highly capable. Not that Putinville as any alliance to the Gator State, they have land and air capabilities. Estimate is long-range missile capability. The Commonwealth does not have a viable logistics ability to invade Putinville and vis-a-versa. At least not effective with expectation of success.
. Political landscape with Putinville is somewhat caustic, based upon the leadership of Putinville. As an underlying basis of the evaluation is that both Countries and their leadership of different and competing goals and objectives. There has not been any significant proposals to build a common objective to the mutual benefit of both sovereign states. Putinville's leadership is effective working on their economy and the effectiveness and capability of the military. The military is highly capable of both offensive and defensive operations in theater.

No saber-rattling at all - no threats, no military deployment, no military exercises suddenly scheduled, no naval unit surprise visits, no air-space violations. The Gator State merely reported what its citizens observed. Since many of our citizens have military training (universal military service for three years - classroom and practical exercise integrated with college work), their observations are considered credible. GS made no military threat, other than to firmly suggest that the departure of its citizens from the designated areas be unhindered.

The Gator State would like to point out that some of the areas of interest to the CofC might have strategic usefulness to others and it might not be advantageous to have them under the sway of CofC.

Certain comments made in the public press by CofC have led to the conclusion that the UIN acts at the behest of CofC, despite its vehement denials. The GS maintains a healthy skepticism regarding the benign pretensions of CofC and suggests that other nations do the same.

The Gator State does not comment on capabilities in various areas of force projection and logistics We are not inclined to expend our forces trying to resolve centuries-old cultural fault line conflict, let alone reveal our methods, advantages, and disadvantages. We don't believe in expeditionary diplomacy. We don't go looking for trouble, and neither are we keen on everyone knowing what we are able to do. Our strategic philosophy is built around principles laid down by Dwight Eisenhower.

Obviously Christurddom has missed my twelve carriers, 8 battleships, 35 cruisers, 67 destroyers and 29 submarines. My naval force is alive and kicking.

[panzergator]

Certainly not advisable to ignore such a sizeable naval force as Paul's. Is that where that military retirement check goes, Paul?

[paul]

Certainly has helped to purchase those forces.

[chrisswim]

Putinville's navy consists of 8 WW2 Escort Carriers. Perhaps able to handle 4-5 helos. These ships are small, along with the rest of the fleet. Additionally, rusting in harbor, every couple of years a sortie will occur with 1-4 ships making a sojourn into the Med or Baltic.
.
If you want us to believe that the navy is capable, post some pics of an active fleet. Is the fleet composed of WW1 or WW2 ships? We will have to see.

[paul]

Chris,

We almost shot down your spy plane, that took pictures of our fleet. Fortunately, you missed one deployed fleet and the building docks so you do not have our true fleet size known. Of course Putinville is a peace loving country. Remember a peace of your land and a peace of Panzer's land makes us happy. Well maybe not Gatorland. Will have to rename it something Putinville University for the truly gifted. That will mean most of your students will have to go to another university. Hahaha

[chrisswim]

The recon flight did provide some pics and so did the stealth spy drone.....
We see a lot of old, much old ships, not able to handle the landings of jet aircraft, They do not have catapults. It is diverse group of ships. Not sure that there is an AA system designed to stop an in-coming missile. The other stealth recon drone indicated that they are small ships, very small. We have a navy force to match that era with Italian & French, with a few heavy ships for the US. Additionally, have same scope/scale of modern ships, US, Russian design, Brits, and a few other European countries.
.
We also have a naval force including carriers to handle the F-35 C recently produced by the host (GHQ), AV-8, etc.
.
As for sustained operations in your threater, we would be extemely hard pressed to be operationally successful unless supported by NATO. The irony is that neither can Putinville. Not able to keep a force supplied, much less land a force or transfer a force and expect to succeed.
.
In other news, our visiting task force with economic, business and educational leaders from around the Commonwealth has landed in the Azores. Crowds are so welcoming and seems to be completely beneficial to the Chamber members, dignitaries and citizens. Some of the leaders in government, business, science & technology and education from the Canary Islands also visited the Azores to spend more time with our group. Based upon that, many from the Azores will accompany. the group as it transits to the Canary Island group.

The Commonwealth announces the re-work of seven B-2B bombers for Chiakovia, The expected remaining life extended from estimated 25% to 60%, 4-5 years to 20 years service. Work included struts, spars, the core infrastructure of the aircraft. Updated electronics, radar, targeting communication. Boeing and Rockwell were lead partners on this project for the last year. The investment was over $400 million project. Chiakovia is in the eastern Med, bordering Turkey along the Straight of Turkey. Delivery is expected this week and pilots, crews and support personal have been training and learning about the aircraft from the US pilots and personnel. The US did not block the transaction, allowing instructors to facilitate this project. The training took place on Rhodes Island in the western Med, west of Sardinia and east of the Belliric Islands.

Shipment of Sheridans and M561s arrived in Gator State from CofC. All in excellent condition. Extra Jeeps appreciated. Refurbishment of all vehicles purchased from surplus sources has begun, inside and out, including M60A1, M60A2, M551, M113 series. Repair, paint stripping, repainting.

Gator State is looking forward to new-build M60A2s, as well as Brit REME assets.

[chrisswim]

The Gator State has two different types of people in the administration. One who does care for much of anything that the Commonwealth does, yet wants favorable trade status. It may be just two different departments of the government, each has their own purpose, agenda and political reality. Those silos have different rules, procedures and completely different 'view' to function with the world. It might be the same in the Commonwealth, but it is easier to look in on another to see their faults, since we do not have too many, ...well....not too many but some, well a few.... more than that?

Chicovia has sent an request for purchase of surplus military equipment to upgrade capability and improve reliability, that were surplus to the US. The US Dept of State and Defense Dept must sign off for the authorization for delivery. There is expected to be little resistance. Chicovia is not know to have any nucs; however, it is suspected that they did acquire some from the fall and breakup of the USSR. There was memo in 1991 that Chicovia acquired significant amount of raw urainium of a sufficient quality for weapons grade. There has not been any reports on this since then. Many discount the possibility exists. There has not been any indication, or work conducted according to the UN Chief Inspector, Jaques La Symmon. He said, "not only is there not any evidence of Chicovia's involvement, there is not any evidence of shipment, transfer and/or purchase of material. There was a transfer of small arms, ammo, some Scuds with conventional missiles and warheads, These were inspected by UN scientist and military advisors serving the UN."

The Gator State speaks with one voice - its national interest. It will defend its national interest vigorously while endeavoring to conduct civil relationships to the greatest degree possible with all nations. Objectivity in the national interest is required. No politics. One reason, for instance, for remaining on good terms with the UK is that there is no better ally. It's forces, while disappointingly small, are the most professional. If one can have only one ally against the rest of the world, choose Great Britain and it's associates, Canada and Australia.

The purchase of certain surplus vehicles interferes in no way with Gator State objections to UIN attempts to establish the beginnings of a world-wide government which may be an attempt at an apparent hegemoniacal interest by Chrisdom. The Gator State will always be on guard against such impingement on its sovereignty.

Favorable trade status demands only that each state get what it wants from commercial intercourse. If both sides are happy, it was a good deal. The Gator State was completely satisfied. It now has the capability to form up to 6 cavalry squadrons of varying types. As long as Chrisdom trades in good faith, its commercial trade will remain desirable. Should it use this trade to gain advantage over the Gator State, the trade will, of course, no longer be desirable. The Gator State believes in a really powerful streak of MYOB. BYOB if you are coming to a party.

[chrisswim]

The Commonwealth is delighted to work with the Gator State. We will continued to work with all peace loving nations. Opportunities for all nations is a positive dynamic for the economies and the people of the world.

Al Kabab is apparently still selling Goat Meat as Angus Beef, CNNN's, The Wolf reports that several restaurants and grocey chain around the world have been caught up in this misguided en devour. It is reported that consumers have purchased the 'Angus Al Kabab goat meat in the UK, Balzac state, Chaicovia, Italy, Crech Rep, Serbia, Spain, France, Manacodom, Algeria, Tunisadom, Libya, Greece and Turkey among others. It appears that the economic benefit to the criminal element of Al Kabab over the last 6-8 months is to the tune of $400 million USD, or 350 M BP Sterling. It is reported from Algeria and Libya that several older freighters have been purchased, some have been re-flagged to those countries and others are painted as if they were re-flagged to countries other countries.

Alert- All persons transitting in the Med are to be diligent to their surrounding and approaching ship and small craft. The alert is also near the African coast line of the Atlantic and the African coast line in the Red Sea, and Indian Ocean. It is reported that 2 luxury yachts are reported as missing despite communication and search efforts to locate these boats and their party.

The Azores voted over-whelmingly to become a member of the Commonwealth with 78% of the vote. The Canary Islands also voted, which was challenged, but passed with 62% of the vote in favor. The Merdia Islands voted to retain their association with Spain and not become a member of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth assembled and voted to accept the Azores and Canary Island as a full member. Discussions of currency, economy, defense, infrastructure will begin with the next two weeks. The stock markets of Manacodom jumped 6% on news of the announcement of membership. Stocks of companies domiciled in the Azores was lead by Azores Hospitality Group jumped 15% on news. Canary Fishing lead the way with a 12% jump. These indicators are favorable to the new membership for these countries, their economies and of the Commonwealth.

Dome Oil and Exploration continues to identify hot spots for resources. One large field is along the border with Moroccodom and Algeria. More work is required,

[panzergator]

More "doms". Chrisdom placed to dominate the approaches and exit for the Med. It appears this Chrisdom effort is a foreshadowing of a WORLDdom(ination). One wonders why the UIN,, seemingly a Chrisdom puppet already, doesn't step into these obviously predetermined "elections."
