| Message | Please elaborate on the “Oh dear” because I am trying to strengthen this nation and push us into the world stage while the “New Left” sits idly by. A majority of nations have legalized nuclear weapons. Your stance is agreed upon by four other nations that have yet to move up in life. Our proposal makes sure that we defend our citizens from the majority of nations who can launch nuclear attacks. By preventing us from doing this, your “New Left” has left our nation behind in defense and strength. Not only has the “New Left” dragged us down the hole of national mediocrity, but you have done nothing to make a positive impact on Vorona. The “New Left” and it’s beliefs are the reason why nations look at us and say, “That is the nation that legalized slavery in the modern era.” The conservatives of Vorona want to reduce nuclear arms, but that can only be done by a treaty ratified by all nations, but seeing as our foreign minister is nowhere to be found doing anything helpful, a treaty cannot be done. So, the “New Left of Vorona”, it is up to the remaining parties in this nation to fix your mistakes and this is one of them. |
