[Democratic Republic Of Eiria]

Markus Kaltē, the recently promoted Eirian Ambassador to LIDUN, cleared his throat and stood after the Haesanite delegate had finished her statement. "Before I begin, I must thank Delegate Lagrange for her brave and eloquent statements. If I may, before we continue talking about proposals, I would like to take them further."

"I was also shocked and appalled by the response of the Xiomeran delegate, for a wide variety of reasons. Many of them, such as the false attempt to equate Xiomera's actions with those of Slokais, have already been addressed by the honorable Haesanite delegate, so I will focus on a few other grievances."

"Firstly, Delegate Tetlahue was quick to accuse the rest of this council of being hypocrites, while making some of the most ironic statements ever made in this chamber. Among these, my personal favorite was the comment about certain factions in Roucourt 'clearly attempting to overthrow a legitimate government through use of force.' Hmm, why does that sound familiar?" Kaltē turned to stare down the Xiomeran representative. "It's almost like that exact thing has happened several times recently in East Caxcana, with the backing of the current Empress, no less!"

"From their own rise to power to the current Aurian Civil War, certain Xiomeran leaders have gained a lot of experience in overthrowing legitimate governments with force. And as we will discuss the latter matter soon, I won't go further into that subject." He glanced around the table, addressing the whole council instead of just Tetlahue. "But these matters still illustrate my point. My intention is not to air Xiomera's dirty laundry, but to illustrate the pattern of imperialist actions undertaken by the current Xiomeran government. The claims that they are only supporting an ally are completely farcical, and I doubt that anyone on this council is laboring under the delusion that they are true."

"In addition, Delegate Tetlahue's statements also illustrated the tendency of the current Xiomeran government to make themselves appear as stoic martyrs instead of imperialist butchers. The refusal to negotiate or back down, while an attempt to make Xiomera seem strong and resilient, is more suited for rebellious teenagers than accredited diplomats. This attitude is just part of the transformation of Xiomera from a trade powerhouse to a rogue state where propaganda supersedes reality. I wouldn't be surprised if the Xiomeran government doubles down and refuses to even recognize LIDUN in the future."

"But luckily, the Xiomeran delegate seems to be alone in his position. I must thank the delegates of Haesan, Sanctaria, and Kerlile for stating their positions, and I will assure you that the Republic of Eiria shares those stances. I would also like to thank Delegate Hernandez from Lauchenoiria for bringing this matter before the Security Council. The situation in Roucourt is very troubling, and this council should do everything in its power to protect and aid civilians in affected regions." Ambassador Kaltē cleared his throat again before making his final statements. "To conclude, there is an English phrase about throwing stones in glass houses. And certain delegations on this council seem to be more preoccupied with throwing boulders from their glass palaces than with actually saving Roucourt's civilian population. Thank you." He sat and turned off his mic, the tension in the room palpable.
