That is the whole point. If they have already signed offensive pacts to destroy us with the nations intervening, then we cannot stop them ANYWAY, but we won't be bullied either, and it proves they never had any peaceful intentions at all. We are willing to die in glorious battle taking down as many of them as we can. After we are gone, I urge the other nations to destroy this threat to all of you; We have never backed down from a fight. We have learned the folly of conquest from our Jihading days, after our empire conquered all others on three continents, the people revolted, and we were kicked off of our own homelands. We will never make that mistake again. We have pledged non-aggression and peace with everyone here. I urge the "religious" crusaders to think very hard about the path they have chosen. It will only lead to violence, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of your own people; and if you prevail, you will be annihilated anyway by those who will not tolerate your oppression. Freedom always prevails over oppression. Now that we see the error of our ways, hundreds of years ago, we will never follow that path again. We represent a free and peaceful people. We have suffered for years in pain and agony, and have starved because of our arrogance. Never again. Never again. I share the wisdom of generations of my own people, who have been on both sides of this level of unmitigated arrogance and aggression, religious oppression and intolerance, and diplomacy using force. It does not work, and it will destroy everyone in its path, both the oppressors and the oppressed.
I wash my hands of anyone who is willing to tolerate this malevolent behavior.
