| Message | In the light of the threats of invasion made by the Karav's of Beluz we would not support these meassures just now - In an ideal terra, with idea circumstances things would be different |
| Date | 00:28:57, August 16, 2012 CET | From | Democratic Workers Party | To | Debating the Peaceful nation |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Beluz would not dare invade Solentia, we would be able to push them back. |
| Date | 00:41:16, August 16, 2012 CET | From | Grand Liberal Party | To | Debating the Peaceful nation |
| Message | With respect to the Karavs we need to ensure that all options remain open. We believe that the decisive action we took in exposing their invasion thwarted their plans, however we must remain on gaurd |
| Date | 17:44:42, August 16, 2012 CET | From | Solentia Peoples Party | To | Debating the Peaceful nation |
| Message | We must always remain vigilant and on guard, but in these times of tension between nations we must show that we are not a threat to anyone. War is ancient and barbaric and it is time the world becomes civilized. We must all come together, every nation and invest our billions of dollars in science and space exploration. Are we sending our species into extinction or are we finally going to become the leaders we are meant to be. The cycle of destruction in humanity ends now. |
| Date | 08:39:27, August 17, 2012 CET | From | Democratic Workers Party | To | Debating the Peaceful nation |
| Message | Senators, You are absolutely crazed, doing this we would effectively hand ourselves to the enemy and be subject to their rape and torture. Is the Razm Anbaz Party in cohorts with the enemy? because these proposals before this Senate are absolutely preposterous. |
| Date | 17:00:10, August 17, 2012 CET | From | Solentia Peoples Party | To | Debating the Peaceful nation |
| Message | These are strong accusations of Treason from the DWP. This shall be a debate for another time. For the time being, Solentia needs to focus on Military Defense only and continue investing in science, education and health. Again the RAP has more social views than the democratic workers (social) party. If it pleases the DWP, the science and education we will invest in will have a huge impact on military defense as well, without having to use nuclear or chemical weapons. |
| Date | 23:51:12, August 17, 2012 CET | From | Grand Liberal Party | To | Debating the Peaceful nation |
| Message | Senators, the Liberal Party have great sympathy with all proposals in this bill except for those regarding the nuclear deterant and maintainance of the forces. However we hold these principles as ideals to be strived for when the foreign office is in a much stronger possition. Due to years of inactivity on the global stage we are behind many nations of the international diplomatic front. As such we will not support any of these proposals at these time, but we recognise that many of them are long term goals for the future |
