The Syrian Civil War is pretty much confirmed, since the whole incident with the Russian aircraft is still a thing. Given Russia's slightly more aggressive foreign policy here, I doubt that Ukraine has calmed down much either.
As a side note, there's already some amount of cooperation between Russia and China through BRICS, so it's worth mentioning that Russia might be interested in adding some military treaties to it, since it also involves India AKA the country that could pull a Soviet Union-level Zerg rush thanks to its population.
I thought about addressing the BRICS in my talk with Dmitry and Vladimir, but I decided that not mentioning it would be better. Besides, if I were to invite Brazil into my Moscow Pact you could end up with the US getting angered because they would have a large enemy in the Americas. I want to scare NATO, not start a war with it (Yet)
I have a question. Are current raging conflicts like the Ukrainian crisis and the Syrian civil war still going on?
Both are still going on, along with Boko Haram and the other rebel groups all around the world occupying territory.
Vladimir Putin sits at the table in his house, going over the current events in his head, thinking of a way to keep Russia with its superpower status
The turks just shot down a plane of the Russian Federation and NATO is starting to become more violent in its "propositions" to the glorious federation. Putin knew that if he where to get Russia out of this hole that they are in right now, he would need an idea to not only combat NATO, but the EU in general. His door seemed to knock in agreement when Putin just began to think of something.
"Come in." Putin states
Dmitry Medvedev, the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation walks through the door.
"Hello Putin, I just came by to ask you something." Dmitry stated, looking Putin sternly in the eyes.
"Dmitry, it is three in the morning, why are you here right now?"
"Well Vladimir, I come to offer you an idea, I've been thinking about how NATO seems to be threatening our glorious nation and... and I believe that we should create a NATO-like organization of our own to combat these Western Liberal Cretins."
"Dmitry, are you proposing what I think you're proposing?" Putin asked with a smile beginning to grow on his face "Because I was just thinking about this, and I believe that a creating an organization to combat NATO is a great idea."
"Well, that was easier then expected, I thought I'd have to go through and give you the facts to make you agree with me."
"Dmitry, I may be stubborn, but I'm not stupid."
The Prime Minister chuckles at that, Putin was a lot of things, stubborn, insane, power hungry, but he was most certainly not stupid.
"Well in that case, I'd like to tell you the nations I'm thinking of inviting to this new organization. The Peoples Republic of China, The Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Hellenic Republic (Greece), the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the Syrian Arab Republic." Dmitry said.
Putin sat there for a moment, contemplating the thoughts and outcomes in his head. If this worked, then the west would no longer worry him.
"This, is a great idea Dmitry, but I see one problem. How will Greece join, they are currently in the EU and NATO, and the only way I see them leaving is if someone from Golden Dawn successfully takes the current Prime Minister out of power." Putin replied.
"And this Vladimir, is another reason why I came to you. I am thinking that if we meet with the current leader of the Golden Dawn party in Greece and we..fund them, then hopefully they can take control of the government."
Putin nods in agreement, this was it, the Federations big break. If this succeeds, the United States will no longer be able to ignore Russia's strength, because if they do, they will have it eventually bite them.
"Yes Dmitry, tomorrow I shall send the message to all of the leaders."
December 3rd, 2015
Hello, great nations from around the world. As you know, NATO is becoming more and more of a threat to our ideals. Their bastardized form of political correctness and their anti-East stance is not going unnoticed, and that is why I am sending you all this. I am thinking that if we are going to form an organization to combat NATO then they must stop with this flat out bullying. I am stating that we create the Moscow Pact, a pact binding all of our nations in Friendship and promising that if someone declares war on one of the nations in the Moscow Pact that you will join the war for your fellow member. Sincerely, Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation
Hello, leader of the greatest party in Greece. I am going to give you an offer, if you find a way to take control of the Greek government, either by a coup or by inciting a recount in the election, and you pull out of both the EU and NATO, then I will provide funding to the Greek army and I will back you in any conflict, even if you do not join the Moscow Pact. I'd also like to invite you to come to Moscow on the 9th of December for a large banquet where we can hopefully discuss our plans to save your nation from the liberalism of Alexis Tsipras and his party. Thank you for your time. From, Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation
So in this RP we can't change anything that has happened pre-December 1st 2015 but anything else is fair game? Like the Brazilian government can be overthrown by Monarchists on December 2nd and suddenly oh look a royal family?
Well, I know that a lot of people hate the current Brazilian leader so maybe have some Coup happen that results in someone becoming the leader. Have it so when this person dies their son becomes leader You basically get what North Korea has, a monarchy, but not called a monarchy.
