Well, it seems that America finally recognises my country as an ally again! Thanks!

20 years ago New Zealand was no longer welcome in joint military exercises and opperations and having a free-trade deal put on indefinite hiatus for the hienous crime of refusing US nuclear-powered battleships in our main commercial habour, which is also incidentally hundreds of meters from residential and commercial districts of our largest city.

I doubt anyone even knows this occured. I mean why would you? We've only ever been good for giving free land to the CIA so they can build high-powered radar and satilite monitoring stations on our mainland, not trade partners; I mean DAMN, our GDP is barely even enough to support the placement of missile silos (which apparently back during the good old days, our chums the US government asked if we wanted some silos in our backyard).

So today, when Condee came to government house and let slip that the Whitehouse now regards us as an ally and quickly jumped to the next topic, I almost spluttered.

Are you kidding me? 20 ****ing years of quietly telling my nation to go **** itself and suddenly we are buddies again, and all because we wouldn't let you park your nuclear ships in our habour during the height of the cold war?

Thanks heaps, mate.

U.S. tries to please the world, be dominate and does stupid things. U.S. Government lies to its people, doesn't care about its people just money and power. By controlling the civilians of the U.S. they use fear, and make all those civs scared to do something. One day, people will be smart and I hope they can reject and fight back. If the civilians of U.S. can't stop their own government, the USSR, Japan, or Korea and the European Nations will do it for them. A nuclear war is one way they'd go.

What the hell do they have to kick the crap out of? Mountains, green valleys, and a bunch of hobbits running around? Not exactly something I'd want to spend a $10 million missile on. We could go in and try drilling for oil however....

Refusing to let our subs in during the cold war was probably seen as a big warning sign to the US. There's no legitimate reason not to if you wish to be an ally with the US militarily. Especially, militarily. When was the last time you've heard of a sub going chernobyl? Exactly. Even when the damned things sink nothing happens.

Wow...you need to go to school buddy. New Zealand is beside Australia.

Its a good thing that people like you aren't in any position to do any real harm. You act like your countries military might is a replacement for your south end. In fact, its really very sad that you, and countless other like you didn't learn from vietnam. Sometimes, the smaller force wins. It would be a humbleing experience if America didn't constantly make believe they won.

And if it weren't for its allies, America wouldn't be half as powerful.

Refusing parking space space for subs seems such a small thing to fall out over. Australia recently pulled its troops from Iraq and we and the US are still buddies.
