| Message | There's no need for these kinds of military expansion. Nuclear arms only escalate situations, they won't deter attacks. Land mines kill indiscriminately and are a hazard to civilian populations decades after the conflict is over. Why does the Technocratic Nationalist Party feel the need to take covert actions in other sovereign states? |

| Message | This sets us into triggering an arms race, instead of being seen as peaceful, we'll be seen as a nation to arm oneselve's against. It makes us less secure, not more. |
