In light of Araluen and Eyreland's blatant disregard for Yuketobaniac's national soveirnity, we are declaring unrestricted air warfare against all Araluen and Eyreland supply aircraft. While we will not shoot at any crewmember escaping from a plane, we will fire at the planes themselves. We are sending out 10 2-33 MiGs to destroy Delievery Aircraft. Anti-Aircraft Guns have been set up, as well as the naval blockade's guns themselves in case of retaltion by the escorts. We encourage Araluen and Eyreland to stop being childish and back off.
Wishing to avoid a full-on war between the Commonwealth States and the United States, the escort aircraft have been ordered to only shoot down any planes or anti-anti-aircraft missiles that fire or (in the case of the missiles) head for the delivery planes. If an AA station from the ground fires on and then damages a delivery plane or escort, then the green light will automatically be given to destroy that AA station (if it cannot be identified, then any one AA suspected of firing).

Subject: Yuke Civil War
The Civil War that rages in Yuketobaniac has brought our two nations to a head. The USAE supports the rebels, while the Commonwealth States supports Yuketobaniac. The US has been sending supply planes to the rebels, which the Commonwealth is now beginning to shoot down. Wishing to avoid a war between our nations, we'd like to explain why we've chosen to "blatantly disregard Yuketobaniac's national sovereignty" as you have put it.
Firstly, Yuketobaniac is communist. The rebels are capitalists. So is the US. We have a strong anti-communist stance, but we also understand that going to war with multiple strong nations at one time would not only be costly, but has a slim chance of success. So supporting a group that wants to become capitalist from a communist government makes more sense.
Secondly, the rebels are fighting for independence. They're fighting for a just cause. We've had to fight our war of independence, also against a government that we didn't like or want. So we understand the cause of these rebels.
We do not wish to directly alienate Yuketobaniac. But, as the history between our nation's has not been what anyone would call friendly, we cannot support them over a cause we have more sympathy for.
Please, let us continue talks to avoid a Third World War
The Ignorance of the Aralunders has become clear, considering that the South Yuke Rebels are Pro-Monarchy. Why would they call themselves a Principality if they want Capitalism? The Central Military Command suggests President Finnegan to learn some terms before he goes off disrespecting fellow region-mates, sovereign powers.
Reinforcements, in the form of 50 2-33 MiGs have been sent out, with a full shoot-down order, targeting both Delivery Planes and Escorts alike. Back off, Aralunders.
