One of the most important roles that the Founding Fathers laid out for the federal government to fulfill was protecting the private property of American citizens, when foreign powers start expropriating American property our government is obligated to act on our behalf in defense of our property rights.

I'm sure everyone and their mother has done this premise before. But at least this game doesn't take itself seriously on that regard because everyone in the lore is a hyped up version of real empires/countries in the 20s.

@@altechelghanforever9906 Sounds about mostly right though if we went with hyped up version of 1920s America, the main campaign would be just about political games about how the world is not our fucking problem and how every mech would have 10 MGs covering all sides, oh and Al Capone being in a super mech and is the main villain. Though like you said, the game does not take itself seriously, like there's no way you can make Polish diesel punk mechs scoping bears and using bayonets seriously without a lack of self-awareness which this game has.

Franklin Roosevelt met with the Saudi King to hash out a defense-for-oil deal as early as 1945, so all told IH was only 20-ish years off.

@@Mikey-xz4vn Not exactly, for the meeting was very much peaceful and the deal was made to get the British away from the Oil Reserves since the King wanted to be in America’s influence instead, with the oil for defense most likely being after the meeting. It may be the reason why the US ensures Saudi Arabia’s security but it’s definitely not what the Devs have been inspired by, if they did then they took quite a few liberties of such an event and instead decided to take most of it from the 1990s US Intervention and perhaps the puppet leaders as well.

It's a common phrase. You've probably heard it in many things.

@@cibo889 It means you do something you may not be allowed to, and then ask for forgiveness later, rather than try to get permission for it beforehand and likely being denied.

@@cibo889 The forgiveness is for doing something without asking for permission first. Keep in mind this phrase isn't entirely literal, it's not saying they're going to explicitly ask for forgiveness once everything is over. The phrase just means sometimes it's better to do what you need to without asking for approval, first, and then deal with the consequences of that once you're done. In the case of this cutscene, the idea is they'd never get permission to deploy in the middle east if they asked for it, so they'll do it secretly, and, assuming their mission is successful, the result will be so good that their superiors won't be too mad about it.

Usonia is a different USA. Very similar timelines though, as Usonia did expand westward, and still went to war with Spain. Key differences though is that Usonia maintained a heavier degree of isolationism than its real world counterpart. It didn't buy Alaska from Russia, and didn't intervene in the first world war. And if Iron Harvest's description is to be taken at face value, it is also exceedingly more tolerant, as Usonia will treat all citizens as first class citizens no matter who they are. Even allowing them to keep their culture, religion, and other ties from their homeland as long as they swear loyalty first and foremost to Usonia.

@@54lolman thanks for sharing but my post was for humor. I realize that the game takes place in an alternate universe.

@@TheDesertFox1940 Oh my apologies then!

@@54lolman Doesn’t the US allow you to keep all those things right now? I don’t think the US forcibly converts migrants lmao! Ignorant comment

​@@Mr.Byrnes In our current day and age yes, but I am not referring to our laws and regulations in the modern day. I am referring to the eras which the game takes place in specifically for the alternate USA, known as Usonia. For in our history during the eras after world war one. The USA had tried at multiple points in its history forcefully convert the Native populations to its culture. As well as treated various other races and what have you as second class citizens. Hell, one of the main factors why we gave up our possession over the Philippines was because our senators both Dem and Rep. Pushed for laws to ban or at least limit Filipino immigrants, (don't ask me why they couldn't do this while in possession of the Philippines I do not want to get the book out.). So, unlike the USA in our timeline, according to the games wiki. The alternate history USA, known as Usonia was more tolerant, and instead allowed first class citizenship to all civilians within the nation. As long as they swore loyalty to Usonia first and foremost of course.

As an Alaskan, I almost went rabid at the words "Alaska under Russviet control." because that implies that the US in this alternative history is retarded. Alaska cost 2 cents an acre, for a total cost of 7.2 million dollars. Seward's "Ice chest" happens to be full of gold!

To be fair, the heavy isolationism wasn’t great for the country. We were going to have to interact with the rest of the world at some point so it was better that we steered things in the direction most beneficial to us.
