I Love Characterizations Of Alfred That Aren't Impulsive Or Violent - But Instead Cast Him As The Most

I love characterizations of Alfred that aren't impulsive or violent - but instead cast him as the most pragmatic, practical, material person alive. I'll try to elaborate later when I have time but historically, the first and foremost American tool of problem solving has always, always been economic. economic warfare is an American artform and you can't change my mind; Alfred is much, much less likely to resort to violence than he is to, say, leave his enemies utterly destitute. the Cold War (especially Cuba), the Suez Canal Crisis, the trade war with China, the utterly bonkers sanctions on Russia? the USD is the international standard for trade and the US banned Russia from using it at all, even in their own banks. and then there's the whole export ban on China, which is a very big dick power move that may possibly result in WW3 but we'll see. the British didn't tell us about the Suez Canal deal so we threatened to destroy their economy and currency in retaliation. Cold War embargoes on the USSR intended to cripple their ability to manufacture for their military, embargoes on Cuba to cripple any geographic threat to the mainland. Alfred believes military strength is all well and good but the real power in this world is money.

“… The Soviets and Americans did their best to overcome differences of language and culture as they worked together. The language gap was not only a hurdle; it was an opportunity for the occasional prank. One of the US personnel taught a Soviet soldier guarding the entrance to headquarters to greet every American officer with the following words: ‘Good morning, you filthy son of a bitch.’ The soldier was proud when he said those words: his pronunciation was not perfect, but the message got through. Deane thought such episodes meant that the Soviets and Americans were learning to get along.”

I like thinking about what a check-up at the doctor's would be like for a nation. Like they get their knee hit with that little reflex mallet and the doctor is like "hmm, yes, something is up with the railroads in the south."

No but fr it's probably exactly like a normal physical except the doctor has to take into account the state of the economy or politics or any recent natural disasters. I feel like certain symptoms are like this:

Blizzard/cold wave = low body temp, mild frostbite, hypothermia in extreme cases

Capital crisis= cardiac arrest, fast pulse, high blood pressure

Disease outbreaks = whatever disease is widespread

Drought = dehydration, dry and flaking skin, rashes

Economic troubles/recession = common cold/fever, lethargy and fatigue

Flood = vomiting, kidney issues

Famine = malnourishment, hunger pains, eternal hunger

Earthquake = convulsions, dizziness, muscle cramps

Heatwave = heatstroke

Hurricane = dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath

Political unrest = dizziness, nausea, headaches, stomach aches, mood swings, high blood pressure, auditory hallucinations, psychosis if severe

Tornado = dizziness, confusion, nausea, shortness of breath

Tsunamis = vomiting, dizziness, muscle cramps,

Volcanic eruptions = severe burns, high fever, coughing smoke, shortness of breath

Wildfires = burns, sometimes actual fire is visible, coughing smoke

And if there are any fatalities, other symptoms will show up depending on the death toll. symptoms such as PTSD, nightmares, hallucinations, and a profound sense of loss.
