The Respected Comrade has not ruled out a "surgical strike of unimaginable proportion" against "the imperialist bastards."
Comrades,
While we have acted sternly in the constraints of self-defense we've seen the imperialist bastards and their underlings attempt to harm our glorious People's Democratic Republic, perhaps wishing to return to finish the work they couldn't accomplish some seventy four years ago. Back then we were very much at their mercy; they could hit us with impunity and retreat from our waters but today, comrades, the tables are turned and while we've seen the Rokkenjimans join with the Clysperi, the two conspiring in waters far too sanctified for their vessels to even sail into, act in pure aggression towards the People's Democratic Republic of Kusan. The liars have even claimed they sank a Kusanese vessel, reports which are merely the lies of a mad woman in the desert who's spent far too much time in the sun that she's lost all sense of reason. We've lost nothing, I promise you, but we have sent a message that there is a red line and any attempts to surpass that line will see severe consequences extracted from our enemies. Primarily our forces are aligned against the Rokkenjimans and the Clysperi at the moment, yet we're also tracking the Fusanese and the Achkaerinese as they lay very much in the same bed as Rokkenjiman and Clysperi dogs do. If they insert themselves into this affair, well, the retribution they face will be deliberate, it will be severe, and their Empress and Emperor will weep over each coffin we send back to Shinkyō and Valtheim, I promise you."
"To Achkaerin and Fusan I say this: do not act in any manner to defend the Rokkenjimans or the Clysperi, or else we will be forced to view you both as willing combatants in this conflict. This would open the entirety of Kalasin to the full might of Kusanese retribution, and we would see the effective removal of your forces from this region of Mundus by any means necessary. Remain uninvolved and we will continue to tolerate your presence in Kalasin until such a time the nation is stable and able to operate on its own, and I might even consider the validity of the elections your lot held there. You've a choice in this moment to abandon the worst impulses of Chrysanthemum Throne and simply remain uninvolved. While I recognize that the Rokkenjiman Empress, tyrant, despot is a spawn who can ultimately trace her lineage to the Azurewinds, you're better served by cutting your losses if she acts foolishly. We have fought for 70 plus years thus far and have persisted despite every obstacle, do you really think you can defeat those who defend their home territory?"
"I expect, in the next 72 hours, statements of intent from both Shinkyō and Valtheim as to their intentions, after which I will consider the position of Kusan to both of you. I would urge you to take my advice and opt-out; leave this feud between Kusan and Rokkenjima between us, and let us settle it without you. If you tie yourselves to them, however, I wouldn't shed a tear if the lot of you drowned together. It would save the rest of Mundus from suffering your collective presence for even one further decade."
