Premier Carrangus addresses Valruzian insults in Kaliburg

Called a "rogue nation" by Valruzian Foreign Minister Pilarczyk, Kalistan's Premier had some choice words to say in response:

"Well, Valruzia can take the Selayan Union and cram it.  We aren't even members of that organization any longer, as it required Kalistan to lend its military in support of any bonkers adventure that the rest of the Continent decided to embark on.  It goes without saying that Kalistan at the moment lacks the capability to live up to the terms of that agreement, but after such vicious comments in their Press the other day, we can add 'will' to the list of things we lack.  Not only is Valruzia responsible for the Selayan Union, which is an organization that does not serve the National interests of Kalistan in the least, but they are also responsible for the deeply offensive Nowogard declaration which places a false equivalent on communist and fascist Parties.  Happily, Valruzia crows about how it is so democratic.  Unlike Kalistan, I suppose, where we have actually fought numerous civil wars against fascist incursions.  Both of those two documents paint Valruzia as the hegemonic imperialist power that Valruzia is, and Kalistan is busy dealing with enough imperialists in Lourenne and Kazulia."

The Premier pointed out that Valruzia feigned indecision over whether to aid Kalistan or whether to aid Kazulia's and Lourenne's attempts to dismember Kalistani National Territory in the name of "their" trade routes.

"They're so torn:  Rogue Kalistan or ultra powerful Northern Council.  Balancing or Bandwagonning.  Hmmmm...  what should they do?  Clearly their choice is already made:  Valruzia claims to support Selayan Union.  And yet it clearly prefers Dovani solidarity.  Well, we welcome them to it.  As long as they keep registering their civilian vessels and using their Transit Passes as they are supposed to within Kalistani Waters, we don't particularly care which foreign overlord's boots they lick."

KRS-57 Balrog is hit for the first time by Kazulian ships.  The explosion eventually sank the ship, along with the KRS 52 Kracken

The Premier was clearly rattled.  When pressed, she released the news of the destruction of the two Kalistani Destroyers, and the loss of several LAFAs due to foreign action on the Northern Limit of the Straits.

"Frustrated?  You can say that!  We mourned the loss last night of 72 sailors and Partisans.  I made 72 phone calls.  three of them were to the same poor mother.  When we closed the Straits, we did so because our security is at risk.  We did so because these nations use our water and our resources as if its theirs, and at the moment, we lack the ability to turn them back.  Can Kalistan hold out for another year and a half?  I'm Confident that if we go down, Kaluzia and Lourenne will bleed with us.  If they pry those straits back open, it will not be easy.  They're going to have to occupy us, because as fast as we can built ships, we're going to harass their convoy routes and their shipping lanes every day until they acknowledge our control of those straits or beat us back into the stone age.  And that's it."

With this, the Premier ended the interview and went into her office, slamming the door behind her.
