--------------------
The government of the Socialist Republic of Ikradon rejects the Federation of Zardugal's foreign minister's response. Regardless of the actions taken by the United Socialist Sultanates, the Federation of Zardugal has threatened the security of a fellow socialist power. We shall respond to this threat by any means we feel are necessary, up to and including the use of our most powerful forms of weaponry which are still retained by our military despite recent attempts by the Supreme Soviet of Ikradon to outlaw them.
We are not willing to settle this issue with diplomatic means and find the allegation of illegality to be a grevious insult on our government. The issues of war and peace are not within the jurisdiction of the lawmakers of Ikradon, and are the sole preserve of the head of government.
The Federation of Zardugal shall be seeing us on the battlefield.
Signed;
General Secretary Celestia Ceres
