The world is trying to work out how to respond at this point to the aliens' address.<br /><br />Russia would be a stronger ally than Japan, but since the aliens have picked them as their enemy it is likely that they will become more wholehearted allies of X-Com in the future.Duke of Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716600365355282982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159484030669168383.post-42152824323097791712017-02-11T17:22:54.899-08:002017-02-11T17:22:54.899-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Duke of Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716600365355282982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159484030669168383.post-68902885722524094892017-02-11T15:14:02.640-08:002017-02-11T15:14:02.640-08:00Thank you for this chapter.

Especially since Japan has a very small army.baud001https://www.blogger.com/profile/02073828308449885586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159484030669168383.post-86299565884954120432017-02-10T19:58:23.036-08:002017-02-10T19:58:23.036-08:00Yeah, there will be hard questions being lobbed th...Yeah, there will be hard questions being lobbed the aliens' way, especially from the Nigerians. :D<br /><br />But hey, in the era of "alternative facts", "sound bites" and short attention spans the aliens could get away with it, especially with the infiltration and mind control options they have at their disposal.

Also, totally ignoring the whole "we sent bloodthirsty killing machines into Africa and wiped out an entire city" thing.Farflung Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459107388227446828noreply@blogger.com
