Ok, I came in late, but this whole thing is a ridiculous farce. JusticeforPluto, you've alienated any potential allies we had and taken us from a good position (conquering most of Eastern Europe and having taken down the missile shield) to one in which we'll be lucky to even get a return to status quo.
I just subbed in, though, so I'll be damned if I'm not going to at least try. Let's try to get some suggestions together; where can we go from here? And even if you have no suggestions, at least speak up; I'd like to get a feel for activity.

Here's an off the wall idea; fake a coup.
I can declare in the thread that as military commander, I'm unilaterally withdrawing all Russian forces back to Ukraine until we can investigate these allegations and figure out what's going on. This will probably give a pause in the anti-Russian rhetoric while people wait to see how it sorts out, while letting Pluto keep up the shouting all he likes.
If Pluto doesn't allocate money for the military, I think from the rules the tanks will stay in position? This might even let us keep our territory for now while looking like infighting is going on and hopefully letting this whole thing blow over.

I am tentatively in charge care of Pluto, so military advisor, give me some advice. It would be a benefit to Russia if I could act entirely as the 'face' of Russia while Pluto and the rest of the advisers make the decisions. Let me spin shit, that's what I'm good at.

I don't think we need to fake a coup or anything - we can pull back the military a bit (to Ukraine at the least), dial down the rhetoric, and sit on our heels a bit and eventually the world will be focused on problems other than us. Remember, we're only in Day 3, we don't know how long this game is gonna go but we have plenty of time to go on the warpath if we need to.

At this point no one's going to believe Pluto isn't a warmonger, IMHO.
We can't go against the world. We need to at least preserve the relationship with China, and keeping other parties focused on their own goals. This means we have to stop looking like a threat, hopefully without losing everything, which is what I was going for with the whole fake a coup plan.
At the very least, say we're pulling out of Poland while we launch an investigation into the allegations of biological warfare. Maybe even say pulling back to Ukraine, which would get more trust but cost us much of our conquest (unless we did the trick with defunding the military). Can we repair damaged units? It would be a nice opportunity to repair the force from Poland.
Defcon is another issue. Pluto wants to lower it to 3, but doing so would alarm the world. The alternative is to not do so; if we don't and others do, that may help our reputation as well. But that won't work with the "frame Pluto" plan, since if we want to make it look like he's preventing us from pulling our forces back no one would believe he didn't also lower Defcon to 3.

How about an actual coup?

That might be the only way for us to survive.

I can see the press release now:
"We regret to inform the world that, due to the large amounts of stress he has been under, our glorious president made the decision to end it all by shooting himself in the back of the head with an AK-47. Twice."

I support a coup. No offense Pluto, but this might be the only way we survive. I don't want to be leader, and I don't want you to leave...but we are kinda up shit creek at the moment.

Don't have a coup. That is incredibly unsportsmanlike. It crosses the line from playing a game to being shitty to your fellow PAer.
Calm down, everyone. Get back on same page and work together. Good luck.
