Original post by Morgsie

OOC: Germany was divided back then, so I am staying out of this one. It is worth you look the conflict up

[ooc] No you'd be West Germany. East Germany would be already covered as part of the USSR.

OOC: Why would the USSR cover East Germany as they were not in the USSR, the USSR comprised of the following countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. East Germany was part of the Warsaw Pact however not the USSR.

[ooc] Ah, fair enough. It's been about 11 years since I did my GCSE history so throw me a frigging bone here. East Germany was behind the Iron Curtain though so I kinda assume Morgsie would want to stick with West Germany.

It wouldnt answer directly to the Kremlin but oweing to the nature of the whole set up back then it would almost certainly do as it was told i guess.

Fiji isn't particularly happy about this, nor does it have the military to have a large impact

The UK can announce that we have set up a 200-mile exclusion zone around the islands.

OOC: He could surely play both sides if he wished couldn't he?

OOC: I doubt it, this happened in the 1980s when the Eastern Bloc was under a lot of internal pressure to become free, the previous years had seen uprisings and now with the declining power of the USSR, especially with the reforms, things were becoming freer in the Eastern Bloc so I highly doubt they'd have to. It actually turns out that the Falklands led to a complete re-estimation of the Western Powers as they'd vastly underestimated them.

The USSR still has and will continue to have ships in this area, we would warn the UK to be very careful in how the proceed as any attack on us will be met with the strongest retalliation. We would also have you know that as these islands are occupied by Argentina and have Soviet soldiers and equiptment on them any such exclusion zone we shall ignore, if your strike fleet does come within 200 miles of the islands though we may well engage.

Is it worth asking a rep from another Soviet nation to step in? This was getting interesting before that happened :frown:

Before the Soviets were banned they sent me this. I do however think we could get a Soviet step-in rather than kill the hype - anybody willing to step in as cl_steele for the purpose of this hype PM me (preferably anybody representing a soviet nation).

Reports from the Falklands have emerged that 3 British Vulcan Bombers, on approach to las malvinas have been shot down by Soviet S300 missile systems, all crew members are reported KIA.

The USSR regrets the downing of the British bombers but stands by its actions in self defence.
