Mats yawned. "Trust the Andrennians to be the ones to make a sick joke about dead children. We acknowledged our mistake, launched an investigation into our own actions, found the root cause which was an intelligence failure, and paid compensation to the victims. If this had been an Andrennian operation, we would have bombed the school for a year, had an internal revolution about the morality of bombing schools, temporarily halted bombing schools, and then resumed bombing Prydanian schools anyway four months later for another year. Your attempts to deflect your guilt by changing the subject onto a tragedy that happened a decade ago, and even imply that they are in any way comparable to your own actions, is nothing short of reprehensible."
"Andrenne has consistently demonstrated itself to not committed to peace. After the 2021 ceasefire failed, which we do understand failed due to Duchrijekan actions, Andrenne made zero attempts to deescalate the situation but instead launched an entirely new offensive. Andrenne has demonstrated its military dominance yet have they genuinely attempted to negotiate with the Duchrijekan government? Have even we heard any attempts at negotiating? Has there been even a single attempt at peace not caused by an internal coup? Nothing. Andrenne at present controls over two thirds of Duchrijeka - an undeniable military victory. Yet they still seem to be set on a total military victory, damned at how many lives they end. If eliminating the Duchrijekan leadership has it even occurred to the Andrennian government to negotiate regime change, or hell, to launch even a single decapitation strike at the Duchrijekan government?"
"To Xentherida the continuation of this conflict beyond the battles of the lowlands has proved that Andrenne is simply attempting to assert its dominance on the international stage again. After decades of "disarmament" Andrenne finally has the chance to gain prestige and reshape the Gothis status quo by establishing itself as a military power on the continent, without a single care for the number of lives they destroy. And for what? What will happen to Duchrijeka after the conclusion of the conflict? Occupation, a puppet government? Regardless, it will result in nothing but even more poverty and neglect for the Duchrijekan people, worse than what was already established by the authoritarian Duchrijekan regime."
"The Andrennian regime has effectively used the Duchrijekan regime's initial actions as a cause for this, inflicting casualties far surpassing those of the January 4th attack - the Andrennian response has been the definition of disproportionate. Has it ever occurred to Andrenne that what they are inflicting upon Duchrijeka is paramount to the same thing? The bombing of Kosada itself should have been the end of the campaign right there and then, yet the Andrennians continued their bloodlust and thirst for revenge by slaughtering thousands more. This is beyond an eye for an eye, this is Andrenne brutally torturing and crippling Duchrijeka for an eye."
"There has been no groundwork for any surrender. No conditions stated, no demands, no negotiations, nothing at all. It appears that Andrenne is aiming for an unconditional surrender and this will clearly only happen after the total conquest and occupation of Duchrijeka. We cannot allow a nation like this to even sit among us in this hall, never mind re-join this union. A nation that spreads violence and deals death simply cannot be a part of a community that was built on the foundation of peace and cooperation."
