Tom Clancy's Endwar - Prelude to War ending cutscene

"My fellow Americans, we will never forget this morning; how they climbed skyward, only to be struck by a thunder that split the clouds, and woke the world.

[@Twiggy163]

@@gavriloprincip9634 Mostly my point was that the USA ended neither on its own. It was part of an alliance. But ok if you realy want to be like that: Germany was already badly hurting when the US stepped in in WW1. You're acting like the USA did all the work when the USA just sort of threw the last punch at a badly beaten Germany and Austria-Hungary. Same in WW2: The USA helped win the war. It didn't do it on its own. Though unlike WW1, I don't think the allied poweres would've made it without the USA. Most German troops died on eastern front aswell The USA was 2 years late to the mess.

I appreciate that you can differentiate the outliers to the point where you do not have a biased opinion of the country they are from. Although being an American i have pride in my country as others do in their respective countries but people take pride with ignorance it seems.

Totally untrue. If there's going to be any sort conflict between US an EU it would be triggered by trade dispute.

While we in the UK appreciate the friendship (and long may it last) there are very few Brits who would be willing to fight for Europe in this day and age if violence became prominent on the continent once again.

uk in the game is out but basically EF convinced them to let them get some bases. uk wouldn't be able to stay neutral

[@toyotasera55]

Thats true. I chose them Being European (U.K) and that their fighting style I found to be tacful and I liked that. I find you also feel a real need to defend as Europe as you have two fronts and you have to push out and not be pushed back to Paris.

[@Jordi.thefirst]

This gave me goosebumps.

[@dsjj251]

the space shuttle looks like a missile being launched. the WMD is designed to destroy all missiles launched,but it is supposed to be able to tell the difference between a shuttle and a missile,but the Russians reprogrammed it.

[@rmctagg09]

The scary thing is, the way things are looking, this is very plausible.

[@Halo4Lyf]

@shadowmare97 "To be fair, the Americans were planning to hold the world hostage with that whole freedom star thing..." It's called "deterrence" and it has never started a war. Historically speaking, strength is not provocative but rather weakness is.

[@s020015]

@TFWKYK Me too, I hope in EndWar 2, players can directly command air force as a unit not a support. I hope in EndWar 2, there's a real time world war mode, no more turns, just bring troops to everywhere to fight. And no unit capacity. Also, More units, and can do some suicide action, and spies and strategies like RUSE.

[@IANXZ]

@OfficialFearClan My guess its because the UK already had the Commonwealth of Nations (their old colonies:Canada,Australia,NZ,India,among other countries) to back them up,not needing nor wanting to join the EF aside from being dragged along with their problems.

[@jimmymohoney]

@InterventionII the only problem with that is how the hell r they goin 2 get the pod from the station 2 earth without any means of propulsion besides venting atmosphere and wouldnt that just b 2 damn expensive

[@WeissVogel]

Haha, the explosion plume at 0:57 is so reminiscent of Challenger.

[@tcave360]

Hopefully if and when the sequel will come out there will be some new factions like China, United Islamic Republic(Iran&Iraq from Debt of Honor), and maybe even Brazil. It can be Western Coalition(USA, EF, & Brazil) vs. SCO(Russia, China, & UIR) once the Euros and Americans figure out it was all Russia's fault for the start of the war. And maybe add in some naval units also, just to make the sequel's battlefields more diversely interesting. USA! USA! USA!

[@shadowmare97]

In conclusion, there's a difference between defending yourself and showing that you aren't to be pushed around... Just like there's a difference between having the world's largest stockpile of nuclear missiles to "deter" attackers while threatening them at the same time... as opposed to having the world's most technologically advanced missile defence system for the same result, without others feeling threatened.

[@jimmymohoney]

@InterventionII they could use a anti satellite missile but it rlly depends where on earth they were droppn.

@InterventionII yea but ever heard of sams plus the missile sheild could take out the craft of soldiers before it could land

I agree that the euro brought more damage than benefit, and I agree that the UK made a good decision in staying out of it but I don't see a war breaking up inside europe, not for the time being. In adiction let's remind ourselves that Britain involvement in the world wars was due to necessity rather than out of friendship. My opinion is, if Europe is to be dropped to its knees it wil be due to economic collapse rather than internal wars.

@shadowmare97 But really, you are right about one thing, this present argument is silly. What will decide the truth of this is a simple test - which ideology will still be around in 100 years.

Personal initiative, autonomous action, personal ownership of the means of violence, and local government. Where a militia unit exists, things will be hard-pressed to fall apart.
