Description[?]:
| "There is something deeply wrong within a country that maintains such anachronistic policies of defence that herald a borderline feudalist method of thought. This is frighteningly dangerous to the safety of the average Zardugali citizen. The world is dangerous already, Zardugal shouldn't make it more so, and should take every means to protect our citizens. That is one of government's pre-eminent duties. Make the right decision, thank you for your patience." -Daniel Vladimirovich Feterokov, in the proposition speech to the National Directory |

| Message | "What nation would launch an attack on the Zardugali homeland in full knowledge that their invasion will be met with the full might of the Zardugali Defense Force? As for the Centralization of shelters, why? The Local Governments have a much clearer idea of where shelters are necessary, and will make a more informed decision then some Belgae bureaucrat." ~John Cambel, Shadow Defense Minister |

| Message | "Because nuclear, chemical and biological weapons will largely slaughter countless numbers of innocent civilians. If we are confronted with a conventional attack we should respond with conentional methods, not massacre the population of a nation with the misofortune to have an expansionist government." -Ulysses Dunikov, Official Spokesman for the Revolutionary Socialist Party |
