Thank you. It's nice to be recognized.

I would be lying if I said I'm very concerned about all of our fellow Feeders and Sinkers. I think we all know there are one or two I would be fine with seeing almost anyone in NationStates invade. But certainly I'm concerned about threats made against Osiris, or our allies Balder and The East Pacific, or other friendly Feeders. I'm also concerned about our user-created allies like The Land of Kings and Emperors and Lone Wolves United. Not concerned in the sense that I think any Feeder or Sinker, or Osiris' user-created allies, have anything to actually fear from you, mind you, because that is a joke, not a worry. Nonetheless, ridiculous threats against our sovereignty do concern me, no matter how absurd.

Then perhaps you shouldn't have tossed politics and military in a blender together by posting a hyper-political declaration of military hostility aimed at regions "with either a current or historical tie to raiding of other regions in NationStates." That you're now trying to walk this very clear definition back and claim it does not say what it says, and we should not believe our lying eyes, is laughable. Your region has literally declared that any region that has ever raided may be a target of your military. Sorry, but that's mixing politics with your military, on steroids.

That's disappointing. We'll have to try harder.
