Sif Kjær coughed softly and stood. She passed a note to an aid and walked over to the First Secretary's position by the central podium.
"Things still. Need. To. Be. Said. My first point of order will be to fix this Ravostokan situation."
She looked at Ascana.
"Where was this concern for the suffering of Prydania's people? Fifteen years. For fifteen years people like them," she pointed to the Ravostokan delegation, "butchered my country. And now you plead with us, try to appeal to our better nature. Sweet and simple words when we're left to pick up the pieces of likeminded tyrants."
"Let me explain, in very clear language, what my view for Rayvostoka is. It is a regime. An anti-democratic regime that butchers and tortures its own people. It has no place in this pact. I warned against their inclusion. Our departed Predician friends did too. The Mintorians and Syrixians had their doubts. And yet others insisted. Decried our efforts as 'failing' the pact for abiding by our principals. It's my belief that by caving to these demands we emboldened a terrible regime this Pact should have been better than. If this is Pact that would demand understanding the case of the Ravyostokan regime, then I cannot help but think it would have dithered over condemning the regime that slaughtered four million of my countrymen, made an orphan of me, and which I spent years fighting to free our country from."
"Herra Menshev, be it you or your embattled government, your petulance is enraging. You bemoan that we do now show you proper respect. Yet you stay determined to refuse the recognition of the majority of nations in this alliance. If you cannot even refer to Prydania's head of state by his proper titles, why am I under any obligation to extend your delegation diplomatic courtesy?"
"I am tired of this debate weighing this pact down. Fröken Ascana mentioned mutual aid. Já. And what are we doing? I ask you all? What are we doing? We're deadlocked. Debating communists in Aurora who think themselves better than all of you despite apparently needing us. That you let your sympathies blind you isn't so bad. It's the hypocrisy that insists we aid the sort of regime my country struggled to free itself for. While the majority of nations here did nothing."
"You may come at me with accusations of bias. Já. I am biased against those who disposes, murder, and torture. You may come at me with appeals to my better nature. But I will not sacrifice my principals. Especially not by people who only have sweet words for Prydanians after our own struggles."
"Ravostoka has been a debilitating regime that has demanded our attention for far too long. They have violated one compromise already. And I am, in my position, ready to finally end this. I will put a motion to vote. One to suspend Rayvostokan membership. If the moderates emerge victorious we we will re-admit them, and use our collective Pact to aid the Ravostokan people. Not their corrupt government, the people. Yet...if the radicals emerge victorious, they WILL be expelled. It's about time we have some sort of finality to this drama."
