TO THE SANTAOKITE CROWN AND THE ROYAL COURT THEREOF:
Peace be with you.
The Great Bountiful Empire of TurtleShroom commends the decision of the Santoakite Crown and its esteemed government to invest in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction for the sole purpose of defense against hostile threats.
We cannot imagine the immense manpower, courage, and sheer brilliance of the Santoak peoples that it took to invent, deploy, and intercept an asteroid large enough to be spherical, saving the lives of billions. While TurtleShroom has experienced no comparable impact, we are amazed at the sheer power of the Stonehenge Array.
In a time as dark as this, there is no greater guarantee of peace on Nationstates than a nuclear deterrant. The Stonehenge is a weapon beyond the wildest dreams of our nuclear scientists, who only deployed a nuclear fusion bomb within the year.
Why this is a matter of controversy is baffling. Any nation trembling at the Stonehenge Array should immediately recognize that its commander seeks only to deter aggression and prevent a system with parity from destroying the nation it protects.
We strong encourage the Santoakite Crown to continue this decision and engage in, where ever possible, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in order to continue the pursuit of the end of all war. No doubt, combat in the country and Santoak's wars with Russian-cultured states this century exhibit the escalation of the fundamental principle of all deterrent strategies.
That belief is peace through superior firepower.
We wish nothing but the best for the Santoak military and wish the Stonehenge Array much success in removing any potential threats aimed at their country.
May your missiles fly fast and true, in defense alone!
Godspeed,
-BUREAUCRAT ON BEHALF OF THE IMPERIAL MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE GREAT BOUNTIFUL EMPIRE OF THE UNITED TURTLES, MUSHROOMS, AND MEN OF TURTLESHROOM
