User blog:Bzero/Attacks Strain US Relations with TC

Byline: Melinda Lossman, San Francisco Republican

The recent attacks on US military installations by Cobra has put to rest hopes for improved relations with Cobra Island and has strained US relationships with Trans-Carpathia as well. Last year, following the disappearance of radical leader Cobra Commander, Trans-Carpathia spokesman James Destro claimed that the European nation was going to take control of Cobra Island and end its terrorist activities.

However, US State Department officials claim that control of Cobra Island was soon turned over to the renowned international criminal known as The Baroness, who almost immediately resumed attacks on US targets. Concerning Cobra’s recent philanthropic activities, US President Hussein Dunham responded, “While we welcome all countries to help with the devastation in Haiti, Cobra will not be able to open a dialogue with us by giving with one hand while attacking with the other. If Cobra truly wishes to push for positive change, they will cease their senseless attacks at once.”

In response, The Baroness offered the following:

“Cobra has always stated that our fight was not with the American people, so much as with the American Government. The American military, while made up of American Citizens, follow the orders of oppression that their government orders them to do. So, to take our fight to the American Government, we have to take it to the American Military. It is an action I wish we did not have to do.”

As for Cobra’s activities affecting US relations with Trans-Carpathia, the Baroness had this to say:

“To be frank, I am not really concerned with how Trans-Carpathia and the United States get along. Sure, I am engaged to marry James, but, in the extent that he runs Trans-Carpathia without my input, and I run Cobra without his, the countries are no closer today than we were a year ago.”

Destro could not be reached for comment.
