We follow Kalistan as the second nation to condem and sanction the Kingdom of Vanuku. I was shocked when I watched the news today, as the news arrived that Vanuku used a nuclear weapon in the war against Deltaria. I do not wish to involve myself or the Confederation in discussions in who is right in this war, only that the use of nuclear weapons is not right. If a nation, such as Vanuku, posseses nuclear weapons, it has to act responsible. As the old saying, 'with great power comes great responsibility'. That means that the use of nuclear weapons is not allowed, unless it is a retaliatory strike.
Unfortunetaly Vanuku isn't responsible. No, they decided to use the nukes against a non nuclear nation. While the war itself was bad enough, atleast you can take active measures to prevent civilian deaths. This nuclear strike has undoubtedly cost the lives of many innocent civilians. And the nuclear strike could have been a bit more moral, had Vanuku first offered an ultimatum to Deltaria or had they warned the civilian in the areas. But no, Vanuku decided to kill as many people possible. The fallout in the area will make a part of Jelbania uninhabitable, it will destroy the harvest of the poor Jelbic farmers and pollute the scarce drinking water.
For a king who calls himself Protector of the Jelbic Peoples, he has not protected the Jelbics very well. for these reasons, we have decided to withdraw from the New Endralon / Kizenia - Vanuku Alliance & Cooperation Treaty. This is to take effect immediately. Furthermore we will close our embassy in Vanuku and expect Vanuku to close their embassy here in one week.
It is a shame that our good relationship with Vanuku must come to an end. But this crime against humanity is unacceptable, and we will therefore distance ourselfs from the Kingdom of Vanuku.
