Terror and Infection update: 2 Terror - A polish invasion? Unthinkable!
Funding update: $6 goes into the bank (11 on science, 2 on military, 3 on Agent)
Agent Update: Your Agent discovered that a South American agent was responsible for stealing bailout funds
Military Update: Your destroyers rejoin the NE fleet The Brazillian fleet has moved into the NE atlantic
Diplomacy Update: No diplomacy this turn (I thought I saw reference to an alliance with Ireland, but can't find a record of it? Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll do a diplomacy roll for it)

Ho ho HO ho.
I'll put south America on blast for the funds once the full update is posted. Germany and America have reached out to form an ad hoc alliance in case of further aggression from Russia, which certainly sounds like it. I'll likely need a fair share of funds if that's the case.

Does South American mean an NPC country from South America, or does it mean it was either Brazil or Argentina?
If the latter, I'm assuming it was Argentina, given that Russia is calling the shots for them.

I THINK it's probably Argentina, although I'm rather certain Brazil is working with Russia/China (their scientist confirmed they have "allies", based on the vote to put the facility in China I assume it's them).
Brazil wants an observer spot in NATO. We can use that as leverage to make them act how we want.

Oh, hell.
Argentina and Brazil are partners, that puts Brazil firmly out of our reach. China gets the research facility. Russia is doing a damn invasion of an EU country, meaning we are basically obligated to declare war.
We need allies, and we need them now.

Wait, South Africa joined SADPACT?
Unless I misunderstand things, that means that the only countries in the world that aren't under Russian/Chinese control are us, Germany, and the USA.
Edit: I may have jumped the gun here-South Africa has entered a research partnership with us, as long as it doesn't interfere with their other research dealings. I assume this means we're not their primary partners. They also said that they're working with the USA.
I'm not as sure about the situation as I was. We need to be in contact with some other countries.

If no one has any objections, I propose sending $1 million to the Congolese relief effort. China has expressed willingness to help earlier, so it's likely that they'll cover the other $1 million.
I'm also going to try and get in contact with the U.S. diplomat. It's...a little strange that their president announced peace talks with Russia that we weren't invited to, even though the Russian invasion is right across the street from us.

Preliminary goals:
I will talk with USA & Germany about possible ways to handle Russia should peace talks break down. I'll also probe Egypt for their stance.
Stilts - Try to get in on those peace talks if you can. Also, try to see if we can get anyone on board for sanctions of the entirety of South America until the Greek bailout is returned. Take the Prisoner's Dilemma angle if you can.
Discrider - Probe the world to see if those other alliances are as strong as they seem. Maybe we can use our agent for some behind the scenes manipulation, or we could pinpoint who exactly the bailout thief is.
Edit: fencingsax and Matev are in talks to split the remaining 2 mil needed for the Congo.

Imposing sanctions might be difficult (and smack of aggression) until we have more evidence on our side.

Can we directly quote gumpy in saying that either Brazil or South America was responsible in the theft? Or do we have to do more digging to be able to do that?

So the POTUS is completely shutting down any possibility of the U.K. being involved in future talks with Russia. They claim it's a matter of privacy and that "we don't plan to ever promise anything that directly effects your country without explicit, written permission."
I managed to convince them to at least send us information on deals before they go through so we can have some input, but it felt mostly like a token gesture.
I really don't like where this is going.

I think we should start talking to Germany and China. Also any African nations that aren't involved with either SPECTRE or Russia.
Also feel free to air out any dirty laundry you find. There seems to be loads going around.

Possible uses for Agent:
Try to narrow down who EXACTLY took the Greek bailout Uncover any link between U.S and Russia that can prove the invasion was a setup for that silly treaty
Stilts I'd say to get in treaties with some of those countries on Russia's list if you can.

Maybe we just use the agent to steal money from someone.
