"Yeah, I've been hearing quite a bit about it." Carter replied. "I, as well as most of the Mandalorian Party, are against imperialism in Africa, especially when it comes to nations with nuclear capability. As for cooperation, I can agree to it only as long as it remains purely diplomatic. At this time I don't want Mandalore becoming militarily engaged. I do want us to have a military, but it would need time for training and arming.
"I trust that you will be using only diplomatic means for now, and won't resort to war or military violence unless provoked? Of course Mandalore will be of little use if you do plan to use military means, not only because we don't have a military, but also because when we do get one it'll need time to be trained and armed effectively."
