| Message | How can any Conservatives claim to be isolationist when they have shown themselves as international aggressors, in support of foreign military bases within our sovereign borders? |
| Date | 22:19:26, January 10, 2014 CET | From | Progressive Conservative Party | To | Debating the Gaduridian Isolationism Act |
| Message | The Conservative Party wanted to maintain ties with Zardugal because we need someone to turn to if the King of Indrala decides to exercise what he sees as his right to control of Gaduridos (as indicated in his title). Indrala is not a nation to trust and we are better off if we maintain positive relations with both of them. |
