| Message | The House of David is simply wondering why the House of Atreides is proposing that the government should not offer international aid. This is one of the most selfish actions a party can propose and the House of David condemns it. |

| Message | Liking the point made by the House of David, the members of the Karav Dynasty will remind them who the House of Atreides is. The House of Atreides is a member of the Blue coalition, which seeks to destroy Beluzia by funding Tory terrorism. When the Tories are in power, Beluzia's position in the world is ignored. No-one likes them. They think they're in power now, forgetting they don't even have control of the cabinet. If they did, I doubt countries would even want to accept foreign aid from them, but let's just remind them that we're in power. The Blue coalition doesn't understand the importance of foreign affairs, but I'm sure when they destroy Beluzia, they'll want aid from other countries to re-fix it to have something to destroy again. - Foreign Minister Yuri Kuznetsov |

| Message | It is the simple idea that it is not our responsibility to burden ourselves with the concerns of others. It is the same reason I support neutrality. |
| Date | 03:47:36, June 27, 2012 CET | From | House of Astredies | To | Debating the Taking Care of Our Own |
| Message | It is unfair of us to ask our taxpayers to give they're money not only to our own misfortunate but to another nations entirely. |
