Subject: Peace talks (URGENT)

I would like to host peace talks to put an end to this needless war. The peace talks will begin today at 2:00 PM local time (17:00 GMT, 12:00 PM EST). They will be hosted at the Oceanside Hotel in Wilcox County.

Signed, Katherine Lambert
Minister of State
Republic of Burleson

[Serrian]

Serrian refuses to recognize the sovereignty of Burleson as legitimate, and recommends total disposal of their government.

Just because we won't let a bunch of gays get married is not a reason to dispose of a legitimate government.

Breaching of numerous WA rulings, deliberate build-up to conflict, chemical attacks...

Whether you like it or not, this is a war of extermination now.

Whether you like it or not, this is a war of extermination now.

Following those rulings would be a violation of our constitution. We didn't ask anyone to get involved in this simple matter that was intended to take place entirely within Burlesonian borders. And we have every right to use chemical weapons on criminals within our borders.

Now, if you want to discuss a peaceful resolution to the war, you can stay. If not, get out.

WA rulings > State rulings.

Now, I'm happy to discuss peace, but here are the conditions:

-All captured DGLF members be sent to an international court for proper justice; if they performed acts of terror, they will be dealt with as such
-Your army be cut down to a maximum size of 10,000 men, 200 aircraft, and 100 ships.
-You either resign from the WA or change your constitution to no longer be in breach of its rulings
-You deactivate all WMDs and hand them over to Serrian

Fail to do any of the above, and we're just going to turn a blind eye to that little disease you have spreading there.

1. We can agree to that
2. Hell no
3. No
4. No

Look, you have no place in this anyways. You are not the worlds police.

And we all know these asinine conditions are just so you can attack us. I was not born yesterday. Now just get the hell out of here.

No, but we are the nation pointing orbital superweapons, nuclear strikes, and biological weapons the likes of which you've never before witnessed at you. We can wipe your whole populace off the continent if we choose, and we REALLY don't want to do that.

And that's just me; look at all the other nations on my side.

[Glamour]

By the Pen of Cassandra Davenport, 43rd Incumbent Diva of Glamour

Glamour considers sexual orientation to be a universal and naturally diverse spectrum of inevitable traits, which, when attacked, constitute an attack on civil rights and indicate the behaviour of a theocratic dictatorship rather than a legitimate government.

Glamour nonetheless urges peace and that at the very least, requests that all nations refrain from the use of nuclear material in ICBMs and remain open to dialogue.

Furthermore, the following individuals have been nominated for Haute Couture Headdresses of High Fascination at the Glamorous Symposia and Awards Centre.

Generalfeldmarschall Bojidar Daskalov
Democratic Republic of Volkstrad

Anna Karinunta (posthumous)
Transgender Exotic Dancer, LGBT Activist and Avant-Garde Artist

Allen Mallory
United Meritocratic Islands of Serria

General Secretary
U.S.S.R.

Henri (VI) Engström, King Regnant
Unitary Socialist Kingdom of Pantoufle

Reigning Monarch
Eternal Empire of Assorted Sucrose-Based Lifeforms

The venue is difficult to miss, and the Diva hereby extends her most hospitable Cocoa Leaf of welcome into the Glamorous Symposia and Awards Centre:

[Burleson 2]

I am willing to release all imprisoned gays to another nation if the warring nations withdraw from Burleson.

[Glamour]

Glamour advises that the unconditional release of hostages is the initiative that must be taken by Burleson prior to a ceasefire, followed by discussions on civil rights.

[Glamour]

Additionally, we regrettably refuse asylum to the hostages based on Burleson's underhanded techniques of warfare, its unprecedented and foolish use of thermonuclear weapons, and the potential of espionage agents entering Glamour under this Trojan horse initiative.

[Burleson 2]

Glamour advises that the unconditional release of hostages is the initiative that must be taken by Burleson prior to a ceasefire, followed by discussions on civil rights.

We will release 5 hostages into the custody of whichever nation will take them.

Five souls of hundreds? In the event of your nation's impending and total annihilation, this is but a drop in an ocean of blood that looks likely to run over your land unless you prove yourself to have understood your abominable stance and repented. Glamour has already lost the life of a prominent and talented celebrity by suicide - the conflict reaches far.

Reiterated for relevance, posterity and the consideration of Teleno's bloody conscience:

From: Jasper Levesque, Individual in Charge of Global Assimilation, Cultural Liaisons Association of Glamour

Glamourians, Glamazonians, visitors and fighters: on behalf of Tu-tu'te Shinzimara, High Commander and Most Wise Spiritist of The Order of Un'tul'e'le Ululation, I issue the following statement:

"Oh, peoples gathered from every corner of the Earth,
One of whom declares peace in his name,
The other who thinks to teach dissenters a lesson
Must every and each heed this teaching:

A life is not yours to take
And death is the shade which allows illumination.
The illumination which shines forth from the eyes of a child
That which is in the heart of a rebel who is wild

All of this is under duress
And it is wise, now, to disregard the desire to impress
In favour of humility

In favour of humanity,
And in the consideration that the disembodied perception
Manifest in a dream
Shall make those who defy love its slave, with cosmic justice reaped

Under fear of untold cosmic retribution
The Untul'e'le' call for a solution
Every facet of this universe
Calls out in distress

Every warmonger on the Earth
Will experience stress
And by stress the species will be stretched

And by being stretched, surely it shall grow."

So spake the Creatrix through the poetic mouths of the Untul'e'le. Woe to the enemies of Glamazonia, who spit their words as though they are the projectile intestinal illness of wild boars, without nuance or spiritual communion with the Higher Vibratory Frequencies. The man who is called Christ would indeed have condemned all who are engaging in violence, be it physical or emotional as with the stunting of human love. A body is but a vessel for the soul and a healthy soul knows not division or hatred, nor seeks to suffocate that which Bur-le-sun refers to as YHWH, the omnipresent sustainment of life itself. To end a life based on disagreements on the nature of love is a hammer upon the nails of Christ and a fundamental failure to understand love, which is YHWH, which is Christ, which is the one who would sooner suffer agonising discomfort and death than be the one to throw the first stone. To kill the ones who love ones who are those that are the same as those ones, is to treat the least among you as you wish yourself to be treated, and to do it in the name of the Lord is to take his name in vain.

I, Jasper Levesque, have sought advice from theological scholars of the university of Fratatcra, who have assured me that indeed mainstream Christianity has nothing to do with the promotion of homophobia and discrimination against minorities. Being that Christ was God in the flesh, incarnate here on earth to lead a life without sin so as to provide us with the gospel of his perfect example that we may follow it and appease God thusly, we must refer to the gospel of Christ and this is what the CLAG have done. Jesus did not refer to LGBT people, except once in the book of Matthew during his discourse with the apostles on divorce. The words of God here are as follows, and reference eunuchs (castrated men; transsexuals, haermaphrodites or people with non-descript genitalia who possess XY chromosomes):

"For there are some eunuchs, which are born so from their mother's womb; there are some eunuchs that have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs which have made themselves that way because of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can. "
- Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, Matthew 19:12

The CLAG is therefore assured in its interpretation that Christ, and therefore Christians, must aim to accept at the very least make to female transgendered individuals, and by logical conclusion the rest of the LGBT community. Our scholars have assured us that any instance of condemnation of gays in the Old Testament takes place before the birth, death and resurrection of Christ and therefore is indicative of the context of the terrible world which God lamented over and therefore incarnated himself upon it as Christ in order to save it and preach the gospel, which is intended to establish a new Christian covenant over the old Jewish Abrahamic covenant, hence why Jews do not traditionally accept Christ as the Messiah.

In accordance with all of the above, the CLAG has established that a minute's silence be held at noon sharp today for those who have shed their bodies and those who will be forced to do so, and that countries who are focused on a peaceful resolution and the championing of civil rights will be honoured in Glamour's upcoming Declarative Decoration of National Celebrity Heroes and Heroines and Organisations Promoting Heroism proceedings. We are considering transgender activist, exotic dancer and avant-garde artist Anna Kuninunta for nomination, and the diva assures me that she is currently safe in an undisclosed location. Given that the allegations of Teleno's closet-dwelling is now common knowledge, newspapers in Glamour are not able to be stopped from running the stories and this has nothing to do with the government. The leaker of the sensitive e-mail correspondence is still being sought for punishment. It is probably unlikely that they will be identified. Or punished.

I have been advised to add that the only time Jesus Christ ever exhibited anger was during his desecration of the gamblers' tables in the Temple, and Burleson's principal industry is ironically the Gambling Industry. The wrath of the Lamb will undoubtedly fall upon their nation throughout this conflict until the repealment of the Sexual Morality Act of 2014.

We don't attack your nation for being filled with gays, or for your sickening idealogy. War cannot be justified by a matter as trivial as difference in opinion on gays.

[Glamour]

Nor do we attack your nation. It seems that peace talks have reached an indefinite halt.

[Communist Volkstrad]

The Democratic Republic of Volkstrad refuses to participate in any peace talks.
We also follow Serrian's example and refuse to recognize the legitimacy of Burleson's government.

[Burleson 2]

Nor do we attack your nation. It seems that peace talks have reached an indefinite halt.

If there was a specified leader for the attackers, this would be a lot easier

[Glamour]

It is probably Pantoufle, who I believe first formally declared war on you, but I may be mistaken.

May I remind you that Burleson initially drove intense escalation by its suspicious transponder activities during a period of warfare.

There wouldn't of been such a large war if everyone just minded their own business rather than trying to help terrorists.

Glamour traces the causality of your dilemma back to the Sexual Morality Act of 2014. It is during times like these that the equality of all lives should be apparent. All are equally at risk.

If the gays had a problem with it, they could've emigrated from Burleson. There were many countries offering them asylum.

I attempted to defuse the situation. You didn't cooperate, so I had no choice.

This is no longer about the DGLF and your response to them; this is how you reacted afterwards.

[Greater Weselton]

Does the Reich have a right to participate?

[Burleson 2]

Does the Reich have a right to participate?

You may, we need a neutral party in this anyway.
