BLEU-NADC War

Abstract
On January 26, the alliances of the Blue Leadership Ensuring Unity bloc jointly declared war on the North Atlantic Defense Coalition for actions against the New Polar Order and allies. On February 7, the North Atlantic Defense Coalition and Blue Leadership Ensuring Unity agree to peace, officially ending the war.

War's Name
As of this writing there is no official or widely-recognized name for this conflict. BLEU-NADC War, Blue Civil War, Third Polar War, and Blue Debacle have been suggested. For the blitz, Echelon's forces have used Operation Blue Lightning and FCO forces used Operation Firestorm. Unofficially, NpO have used Operation Cold BLEU Steel. Also unoficially, OcUK have used The Big Payback.

Stated Reasons For War
In BLEU's declaration of war, NpO Emperor Assington cited the following infractions: ''These bullets are verbatim from the DoW thread. Do NOT edit them to reflect your agenda. Doing so in an supposedly neutral article reflects poorly on YOU! Feel free to modify the "NADC Response" section with any clarification you feel is necessary. 
 * 1) A NADC member aided an enemy of Polaris, contributing to said enemy’s war effort against Polaris. Whilst reasonable reparations were negotiated, the NADC failed to pay these within the generous time of ten days.
 * 2) Another NADC nation launched spy attacks upon our close allies and destroyed nuclear equipment.
 * 3) Finally, the New Polar Order has suffered 30+ coordinated espionage attacks, destroying a large portion of our nuclear stockpile. This was later to be determined as the actions of the NADC.''

NADC Response
On January 29, NADC leader EmperorCharlesVI officially responded to the war. His statement included the following claims/requests:
 * Despite claims by NADC members Otto V Bismarck and Cobalt, EmperorCharlesVI was still in power.
 * NADC was not responsible for the spying attacks cited by BLEU in its declaration of war.
 * NADC's failure to provide reparations per BLEU's first cited infraction was the result of inactivity by a banker, and as soon as NADC became aware that reparations had not been paid as planned, an increased amount was delivered.
 * NADC officially requested negotiations begin towards a peaceful resolution to the war.

Other Responses

 * Both FAN and the independent nation of farung claimed responsibility for the spy attacks cited in BLEU's declaration of war.
 * The Dominion announced that they would not participate in the war, but would protect NpO from aggression by third parties.
 * Greenland Republic declared neutrality, urged the warring parties to seek diplomatic solutions, and offered to mediate peace negotiations. BLEU politely turned down the mediation offer.
 * Some in the cyberverse have criticized BLEU's actions as an imperialist attack on Blue team independence. Though such speculation is potentially rampant, no alliance has publicly condemned the war out of fear.
