"Welcome back to the show, you are watching TNN, I am Pelageya Maksimov." Announced the pretty female newscaster before continuing "Earlier today around 12:00 PM in Warsaw the nationally elected Executive Vladimir Tula gave a speech concerning the tense situation between the New American Commonwealth and the Confederate Commonwealth of America. Many political commentators have stated that the speech by President Constantine Maxovich of the NEO Rome Republic has prompted the Executive Council to have the Head of State give the Confederacy's official position on the situation in the North American continent. I'm being told that we're going to be showing you the speech given earlier today."
Suddenly the image changed to that of a podium inside Warsaw's executive building with various flags for Tula behind it. A middle-aged man with a military-style high and tight cut and in a dark suit approaches the podium and stops behind it as he looks to the gathered crowd of politicians, soldiers, press, and the common people of Tula.
He is silent and let's the pause grow pregnant before finally speaking in Russian, the most widely spoken language in the IST "Comrades of the Confederacy of Independent States of Tula, I am here to announce to you today that our grand nation has officially acknowledged the existence of the Confederate Commonwealth of America and that we happily welcome them to the international community as a fellow Confederacy. The Independent States of Tula is proud to see a nation that so gallantly listens to the demands of its people for Liberty and Justice and we would like to personally extend to the CCA our nation's promise of aid in its time of need whether it be materials, wealth, weaponry, or even Tulan soldiers in the event of an outbreak in hostilities perpetrated by the Tyrant of the NAC or his Sonacist allies. Furthermore the Independent States of Tula would like to state that we denounce the actions of the National Sonacist tyrant in New Washington who rather than answer the pleas of his 'people' with words like any civil leader instead opted to gun them down in cold blood as his answer of what type of leader he was. It should also be noted that the Confederacy wishes to extend to the NEO Rome Republic this warning, any military actions against the Confederate Commonwealth of America will be seen as military actions taken against the Confederacy of Independent States of Tula and will be acted upon as such.
"The cause of the CCA is a Just and Righteous one, when they attempted to peacefully leave the New American Commonwealth which under new leadership has spurned the people which it is supposed to represent, the Tyrant Neil Stephenson ordered the military to crush the CCA before it could even draw breath and spill even more bloodshed. Thankfully the sons and daughters of Liberty within the ranks of the NAC showed their defiance and marched under the banner of the CCA to preserve the liberty that the New American Commonwealth had once been known for. It is therefore the fault of the National Sonacist Tyrant for this tense situation, he was given multiple chances to resolve the situation peacefully but at each chance he spurned all that the NAC once stood for and choose to spill the blood of those who publicly opposed him. It is clear now to the world, to honest men around the world, who is to blame for this disastrous situation. Should we lay the blame at the feet of the victims who's blood was spilled for using their God-given right to question their government or should we lay it at the feet of the man who spilled the blood of those he was tasked to protect?
"The answer to that question is clear, and so to freedom loving people around the world I implore you to protest the continued injustice that is Neil Stephenson's reign in the NAC and to celebrate the heroic nature of the CCA. Together we must stand against the Tyrant and support the existence of the CCA which seeks only to have its people rule their own destinies and that of their nation. Remember Comrades, so long as we stand united against those that would steal their fellow man's Liberty and Equality we can never truly be defeated. Stand true and stand strong Sons and Daughters of Liberty."
And with that roaring applause from the gathered crowd erupts as Executive Vladimir Tula III leaves the podium.
