Maelstrom Vortex Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) "Khmer is a state that has recently caused a lot of woe in Asia. It's false claims and unwillingness to allow for international investigation.. and the assassination of our diplomatic staff has caused for an unprecedented loss of life. We can respect.. that Pax Pacis would move to acknowledge a defensive treaty. We cannot respect the dishonorable pattern of behavior that has been demonstrated by the Khmer and it is unfortunate that until this point it was only their ally.. that they did not move to defend.. which had to bear the brunt of the cost." "That said, we still have no ill will against the people of Khmer, only against the members of government responsible for these deplorable decisions and acts. Given it would be impossible to procure an extradition of these individuals.. an alternative solution has been formulated and accepted by the Imperial Legislature. That solution should be arriving at their capitol building in..." He looks at his watch.. "5.. 4...3..2..1.. We are sorry to the families in Khmer who just lost the lives of their loved ones. Unfortunately, if their/your loved ones had not cost us the lives of our loved ones, this would have never happened. The punishment for murder is death in the Empire. For clarification, a mid yield conventional warhead carrying high explosive cruise missile just detonated in an airburst a few meters above the capitol building of Khmer under GPS guidance. The fire solution for the warhead was calculated to a fine degree and refined several times over testing grounds to only destroy the area the building occupied and harm no other structures in the area. This will be our only retaliatory attack against Khmer so long as it accepts the following ultimatum. Failure to do so will result in the use of full military force to oust the regime which is causing the ongoing crisis." As you all know, ten of our Empire's finest diplomats were ruthlessly gunned down by Khmer Empire officials. This is an action that CANNOT be overlooked, even if the nation's neighbor is causing problems.Resolution: - The current government of the Khmer Empire resigns and is replaced by DE-approved officials - The Khmer Empire pays the Dragon Empire reparations equal to twice the value of life insurance policies enacted, etc. - The Khmer Empire pays for the contruction of a memorial in the honor of our lost friends Failure to agree with these actions within 48 hours of issuing the ultimatum will result in military force.

king of cochin Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 xxxxxxxxxxCLASSIFIEDXXXXXXXXXXX TO: CO, CR06 / TF09 EXECUTE ALPHA STRIKE TARGET KE002 XXXXXXXXXENDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The Cruiser CR 09 is maintaining station in Gulf of Tonkin. As the launch order was received the pre-plotted coordinates were fed to the KUB-1 cruise missile. The target is the capitol building of Khmer Empire, the seat of government. At the final launch command by the Rear Admiral commanding the battle cruiser, the cruise missile blasted away from the ship on a throne of fumes. After the initial few seconds of vertical climb the missile steadied to an altitude of 100 ft above sea level. As the missile made landfall it started following preplanned contours plotted by satellites and for final guidance a video camera and infra red laser at its tip made up for unplanned obstacles. As the KUB-1 neared its target, it started flying up at a range of 2 km and finally from a terminal altitude of 1000 ft the missile started its terminal flight. It carried a payload of 500 kg of Tritonal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevz Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ok this is too far we here in Pax Pacis accept the punishment that was given to us by the Dargon Empire but launching a direct missile attack against a government building is unacceptable. D you know how many lives you have just ended including those that had nothing to do with the attack and who knows how many died from falling wreckage. This attack was simply an execution of civilians and we demand that the world act to ensure that the Dragon Empire is made to pay for this crime.

kitex Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 The nation of Kitex condemns this attack in the utmost. President DDB said I am truly revolted, disturbed, and disgusted by these acts of the government of Dragonisia. While I understand the need for revenge, that gives you no right to kill innocent civilians and threaten to kill even more innocents with the threat of military action.

You think you only killed military personnel and politicians with this attack? What about the secretaries, interns, and other personnel who work for those politicians? What about the people who work at that building who have no involvement with the politics whatsoever? Those who are janitors, mail room workers, and police officers? Tens of innocent civilians, perhaps hundreds, have died in this attack. Xaristan condemns this blatant attack on civilians as nothing short of a terrorist attack by the Dragon Empire.

Presidnet Landry shook visibly, the stress of the recent times taking a toll on her body. For a moment she had lost her cool... "The Khmer government has shown obvious signs that they will not claim responsibility in this issue. Our attempts at negotiation ended in the slaughter of our entire team of representation. These actions should be condemned by the world as a horrible violation of international ethics! For all intents and purposes, our Empire and the Khmer Empire are at war. We issued the ultimatum to this nation to avoid furthur war, trust me we tire of these recent conflicts. They are the belligerents, and have refused our attempts at peace.

This was not an act taken during war, this was a terrorist act and a war crime. We wonder how it is a greater crime to kill politicians who wage wars for petty politics and power games than to kill soldiers in battlefield or unarmed diplomats during a diplomatic session? We find it deplorable that world nations who have no concern for death of diplomats, whose personal safety is sacrosanct in war and peace, yet condemn us for killing the people who committed that barbaric act and send their people to war.

You seem to fail to see the point that politicians are civilians, not military members. Killing civilians is deplorable, even moreso than killing diplomats. Diplomats know there is a danger in their work, civilians should not have that worry. Soldiers specifically know that duty, and killing them on the battlefield is war, not murder. You want to punish the people who start wars? Capture them. Put them on trial. By murdering them, you are worse than they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the initial act by the Khmer Empire was despicable, this act in retaliation is even worse. "I have always hated that quote, 'an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.' That's why we were blessed with two eyes. The first time you act like a belligerent with no concern for others, you lose an eye. The concept is that you will have learned that being a jerk is not helpful to anyone and carry out the rest of your life in 2D. Seriously, our nations are at war. The government of Khmer Empire AUTHORIZED the outright murder of our unarmed brothers and sisters. Said government refuses to cooperate with us, two nations enter a state of conflict. We eliminate those ordered the slaughter of our friends and comrades. If they do not agree to our ultimatum within 47 hours we will have to resort to more military force."

What law have we sought to imply on Khmer Empire? The rule of safety for diplomats is an international covenant. We have remained calm for a very long time. Even after the brutal murder of our diplomats we have remained calm and reached out for talks. Why should you object to the truth?And Just because Pax Pacis surrendered to you does not mean they are not allowed to voice their opinion on a matter if it conflicts with your own. There are less collateral damage-inducing methods of decapitating governments. No, this is the deliberate targeting of civilians, not war. No war has been declared yet, in case youmissed it. War was declared the moment our diplomats were assassinated. In case you are not aware that is a true casus belli. We do not object to any truth. Pax Pacis is a sovereign nation and has a right to its opinions, however deliberate insults and use of dock language does not raise the esteem of any nation. This is a deliberate targeting of the government of Khmer Empire. Though they are civilians they are far guilty than the guiltiest of murderers. They consigned tens of thousands of their people to death by embarking on an unnecessary war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
