Thalasus wrote:Admiral Yervas snarled. "I don't have to listen to this idiot! You're the leader of a imperialist foreign monarchy, of course you would be making up rumors to discredit Thalasus and ADDO!" He stormed out of the room, followed by a few clamping reporters. President Mercer stayed in the conference room, calmer than his military underling.
"Mr. Regent," he said calmly, "I would ask that you retract your statements and apologize for your offensive remarks. While the industrial system does have a positive feedback loop with the military, we have never and will never use the military in that way. To protect the economy and our economic interests? Perhaps. But the military industrial complex is not as strong in this nation as you believe."

I don't have to apologize for anything, and you're in no position to tell me otherwise. Besides, i thought Thalasus still had some amount of civil rights, but i suppose i was wrong. Now apparently it is wrong to criticize your government, which has been in power for years to the point that you're essentially an elected dictatorship. You've become just as bad as us, but at least we're honest about our lack of political freedoms and civil rights, but you continue to hide behind your mask so you can give your people a reason to hate us. I will leave, but first i must tell you this: We never back down. (new motto here we come!)
