EUROPA AT WAR!
Diamond Quills
The Assassination of Reinsfarth; The Leader of the Kristalle-Minenarbeiter Empire, has brought with him a War in Europa, Against the Nation of Súmrak And their allies. Now the war has pinned every Europian Nation into this conflict, even our Neighboring Friend The Labradorians had entered this War due to Canterlot Alliance. Now we, The Ponies of the Commonwealth, are in a weak and temporary sphere of neutrality. From the East, The Land of the Rising Sun fights of against Drache-controlled Islands; While from the West, Europian Nations fights of The Great Battle of Alliances. We may seem safe in our Continent’s Sphere of Neutrality, but this Sphere may be shorter than it seems, As War is still in our doorstep. The Nation just South of our borders had broken, and are still fighting, a war of freedom or Governmental Preservation; And like what I have said, Our Northern Neighbors are fighting this Foreign War. We cannot deny that War is everywhere, it is in our cities; Fighting against the beliefs of Striped Civil Rights, it’s near our borders; Fighting between themselves or armies far abroad from their own borders, War is Everywhere; and we cannot ignore it. As to the Article you may think I want our nation to go to war, but I assure you I do not want to sacrifice everything I have and fight a battle with blind pride. All I wanted is to show the Ponies of the Nation is that we are sitting in the age where our Civilization has sat on the breaking point; to where the powderkeg of Powers had finally exploded. And now the world’s faith is in the dependance of this new global war; A World War, A war that would predict the faith of each and every mare and colt on the social justice of a World Order. This World Order shall control the lives of everypony, and everypony will treat it as browns and diamonds.This new World Order is being challenged by every Country in Equestria. Every System of Power now wants to govern the entire world; to whom is the victor, gets the spoils. As the other Powers try to grab this hold of Equestrian Power, our Democracy is at its weakest point in history; and that The United Commonwealth of Armenia shall now decide whether this country, and it’s Democracy, should forever be shrouded into imperialism or be the Father of the foals in this Equestrian World. As the war goes on, as the Crystal Empire celebrates their victory after the 11th, We cannot truly know what will happen in the coming years of this war. Our future is like weather; one small disturbance and the whole thing goes down a different direction. Our Predictions of the next 5 days of this War will change depending on the disturbance of the field; Drache might conquer Lalicorne and take the capital of Pàrri down to its knees, D’scordia might again switch sides and let Canterlot’s Colonies fall, The Crystal Empire might even fall into a new system; a system of brutality and equality.We don’t know what this War would bring to us, but for now we must sit quietly and patiently as to whom our new system shall be; and if the Commonwealth join this war I will assure you that the Gems and Stripes will end the battle, with our strong Industrial Force and our Patriotic spirits. Those who would be idiotic enough to mess with us, will fall into a depth of despair and depression.
