"It is wholly justifiable," Beatrice replied swiftly, "Saheristan has proven herself prone to actions before thought, therefore, Rokkenjima and Achkaerin are forced to account for each and every possibility on their part. They have, after all, stated in their list of possible targets territory laying within a member of the CNN. And while Rokkenjima has had her differences with the Iwi's positions on capital punishment do not believe for one moment that such a stance would preclude Rokkenjiman support for the Iwi should Saheristan train her weapons against the Iwi."
"Again," Beatrice paused, "this information has yet to be verified and comes from Saheristan and Lakhzovia, both whom hold little confidence in the sphere of international relations. It would be as if I stated Evanthe stole Chrysanthemum Throne: I could be wholly valid in my statement, but the fact is my word holds little weight in international affairs whereas hers holds considerably more. We also have the fact that Lakhzovia initiated the military build-up within its borders following the election fiasco, combined with the actions of certain actors not exactly tied to the state. In short, the international picture paints to a solid Rokkenjima-Achkaerin advantage that you simply cannot overcome at this time," Beatrice said with a heavy sigh.
"At this point, you are unfortunately not in a place to make demands. What I would suggest is, in exchange for a withdrawal of Saheristan forces from Lakhzovia, both Rokkenjima and Achkaerin will agree to a similar withdrawal from the Peniche and associated regions. Furthermore, in exchange for talks with the Utman, both Rokkenjima and Achkaerin agree to limit their total forces at any military base in the region only to those vital for the defense of the interests of both in the region. Such levels should not be so high as to pose a threat to Lakhzovia or those considered within the norms of international law."
