That or you just failed to respond to it. I don't trade with nations outside my region so those fines do little to nothing on me. So feel free."
"I hear you, ambassador. But what you're saying isn't relevant to enforcement. Extant law provides these sanctions. Not me. I'm not threatening you. I'm telling you what is going to happen if you break WA law. Trading with your neighbors doesn't help those assets frozen in member states. Can you sustain an economy on one region only? Possibly. Will it damage your influence and strength on the global arena? Very likely. Has autarky ever actually worked? No.
"As with all things, choice comes with consequence."
"Seeing that region engulfs much of the world (OOC in our roleplay it does anyway) I think I can sustain myself, I have been in relative isolation for most of my nation's history so I have little to no assets in other nations. I also do little to no trading with other nations. This is the first time I have come out of isolation to state that this resolution fails to understand the opposing viewpoint of other nations, those sanctions won't just hit me, it will hit hundreds if not thousands upon thousands of nations. Which I think they would all come together at that point to work around such sanctions or at least one would think. As I have been so quiet on the world stage until now what influence or strength will be lost? As for Autarky I agree it hasn't fully worked, but we have had it since the founding of the nation and while we still are lacking some fields our regional allies more than make up for it. I understand you are not the one threatening me, I am merely annoyed my points were largely circumvented just for the WA to tell me sanctions are coming.
I hold no ill-will towards you or any nation here who supports the ban, I will hold no ill-will to the WA for the sanctions. I just want those who are so adamantly against the death penalty to at least understand why nations have them, and that it isn't always as inhumane as it seems, and that one day the WA will understand and repel this law. That day could take a thousands years but I just want to able to have people understand where we are coming from. I don't see the death penalty greatly nor do I see it negatively. I see it as a absolute necessary evil to those who are the same.
I don't mean to come off as rude or upset and if I have I apologize to everyone here, but I think there has been a gross misunderstanding about why the death penalty is used and who it is used on. That perhaps the original drafter of the resolution didn't know or just simply didn't understand. No hate towards them obviously, with our nation there is no real way to not have the death penalty as i have stated multiple times at this point we don't have prisons, we reform criminals. The problem is when we can't reform criminals like the one I have mentioned and if we can't reform them they have no-where to go besides back to committing crimes. We can and have reformed one time murders, but mass-murders can't really be reformed the same.
We will not be going back to prisons either as we see prisons about as inhumane as people see the death penalty as. Because of that we will accept the sanctions."
