What the heck? That is not accurate at all. What about the land gained by ULCAN in the war a few years back? What about the Japanese concessions in Peru and southern Argentina? The borders up in the north are all out of order. Bolivia is much larger. There is no way you would be able to take back all that land in a few months when facing the much larger and technologically superior armies of the Internationale. You just launched an invasion of Paraguay this turn, provoking an instantaneous retaliation by Brazil, ULCAN, Japan, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, and many small Asian states, which combined have many times your manpower. This makes no sense at all. We have much more manpower and technology, and we were on the offensive easily up into what you claim to be "South Penangia," which has been Dutch and Japanese land for a few years now. Your reasoning is pointless. The facts all state that we are clearly ahead. You've never once mentioned South Penangia or either Paraguays, both of which are made up of land that was owned by us earlier this turn. Your military is easily outnumbered. Statistics say that this is impossible. Your army is so incredibly inferior. We aren't even fighting the Ottomans!

And the Jagdkommando. I think you're giving them much more credit than they're worth. The Jagdkommando, not even officially created until the 1960s and with a modern-day manpower of 400, are meant to focus on preventing terrorism and insurgency, not fight on the front lines in wars against other nations. Even if you lumped them all together and threw them at our lines, we'd be able to take them out in a day at most, and a few hours at the least. Furthermore, we've had methods of dealing with them for over a decade . They are no real threat to us, shouldn't even exist at this point in time, and their focus would be on Danubia itself.

​​"Unmeasurable casualties," you say? ULCAN has access to so much more manpower and resources than you could ever amass. To inflict these "unmeasurable casualties," as you say, you'd have to waste unmeasurable bullets and ammo, which you can't as easily replace. We had the upper hand at the beginning of this turn and were already surging forwards into your stupid, unstable military state with a low population, few natural resources, poor infrastructure at best, and one or two regional powers backing your efforts, with our world power military and equipment, backed by fellow world powers and more than a few regional powers. Your illusion is unreal. This turn of events I could MAYBE see happening over a few years, but not in the few months in which you've allotted it. Maybe you should think a bit more about the actual strength your nation can muster and who you're fighting before you make a claim as outrageous as this.
