Opinion pieces on Svarnan operations
The Tarek View
I looked on in horror as my nation went to war over pathetic reasons. The nation went to war because some people were took on boats and the government of Svarna Surya at least allegedly tried to kill the son of their president and vocal critic Rahul in a school in Reitzmag leading to the deaths of a few other students. These are actions that are disgusting sure but worthy of war?

I would argue not and in attempting to fight the demon of authoritarianism being practised in our nations by going through war instead of sanctions which the right honourable James Mizrachi-Roscoe was pushing for in the council and might have had a chance of winning they turned us into a pariah rogue regime of Europe. We are now seen as nothing more than European Policemen arrogant enough to think we and we alone can be the white saviours rushing into the save the "poor noble savage Svarnans" who can't possibly protest and save themselves. This is not nobleness but the soft bigotry of low expectations of Svarnans and dreams of being the imperial overlord saviours. This dream and war is making us look bad and the government needs to step down now to save us or United Duchies will be seen as the pariah of Europe for more years to come. Things must change and we must compensate , fully pull back and have everyone who made the decision to go to war politically prosecuted for war crimes and every death that occurred in the conflict.

The Mizrachi-Roscoe View
I have been a councillor in Europe for nearly 2 years now and there are great people there. We have made many friends in Europe. I won't tell you what United Duchies did was right it wasn't. I had a perfectly good sanctions package going through the council to avoid this war. Svarna Surya is a threat to Svarnans and all Europeans Europe wide with its intimidation , assassination attempts and other operations in Europe , no one denies this but we jumped far to early into war and frankly it did piss me off here was I looking for a peaceful solution in Europolis and the government got scared and jumped into a war willy nilly. But I don't think we have become pariahs in Europe over this, we are not seen as some European Policeman , you don't get that reputation with one conflict.

I think this will be seen in Europe how I see it a minor blip and mistake on Duchies impressive record of holding back in conflict sometimes to the point it loses it its alliances like it did with Telum when it refused to back Spains claim past halfway line and send ships anywhere over the halfway line between Spain and Yosai. Tarek has gone on this disgusting one man attack almost to the point of being treacherous to the nation, now should he be abused or attacked over this no, we are a civilised nation after all , that is not how we do things, but he should be condemned.

So what do we need first of all to stop having people pretend we are the pariahs of Europe to attempt to make us into one. We must defeat the extremist threat of Tarek to make sure he does not get the Duchies vote in parliament, mind you thats unlikely now anyway even the opposition think he's gone too far in attacking the whole nation. We must also prevent a repeat and I back the current emergency constitutional amendment going through if we pass that a situation like this will be legally impossible even if someone was to sink a navy ship in open international waters we couldn't declare war without 75% approval in parliament which might be unlikely depending on options open to the nation. We are already taking the steps neeced to fix this , we need to keep calm and carry on fixing and most importantly work with Europe better to fix this and our reputation which is ultimately bruised but not destroyed. We are not the pariahs of Europe , Tarek my friend you are an idiot and wrong on this.
