| While we have been pushing the policy of collective security through treaties with nearby nations, the PSS has been re-evaluating our position on this area of arms reductions.

| Message | AM Revolution! is conflicted by this legislation. We would hapilly support the first and third articles, but will either have to oppose because of article two... or agree, and then push opposition to article two to the floor separately... with the risk that we might not be able to pass it... |
| Date | 19:06:43, April 10, 2006 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Military reform bill 2213 |
| Message | AM RLP is in exactally the opposite position, we have moderate opposition to Articel 1, strong opposition to Article 3, but are very much in favor of article 2. In balance, we will probably support this. |
| Date | 17:03:16, April 13, 2006 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Military reform bill 2213 |
| Message | As article 2 is already in effect, we will not support this. |
