Esteemed Allies, Neutral Nations and Sworn Enemies,

While a few of our allies have decided to make themselves scarce and have withdrawn from this alliance, I would like to take this chance to do the very opposite of what they are doing to declare my loyalty to AMF and all of NATO. No alliance or organization is by any means perfect. There is always room for improvement, but there is no need for improvement when mutiny is key on one's mandate.

I must admit, I am saddened to see some of our allies leaving, I know that this alliance won't die until the day there is only one of us left standing. Until then, there will always be an alliance, one known as NATO.

In that we declare that no matter what, we stand united with our allies in NATO, including AMF, as well as some of the former members including Euroslavia.

We will not be bullied into leaving or forced to usher in the implosion of NATO. Anyone who betrays us, or seeks to destroy us will feel my wrath and that of ALSN (if not for military then at least for aid), who is now an ally of NATO.

Thank you.

To Theklia Arkyan, Prime Minister of Kryozerkia

I would like to be the first to congratulate on this stance you have taken regarding your great alliance, NATO. It is in times of hardship, when the proverbial rats flee the ship, that people of character shine forth, people such as yourself, dear Prime Minister. We of the Greif hold the virtues of honor and loyalty highest above all others, and these virtues you have indeed displayed with those few words you have sent out proudly for all to see. Words cannot describe the very high esteem in which we of the Greif now hold you and your people. You will always have a friend in us, good sir, for we feel that men such as yourself must be honored and cherished. May the Maiden shower you with a thousand blessings.

Yours in arms,

Esteemed Presgreif leader, Natalya de Greif,

We thank you for your words of kindess and support.

We stand with NATO not only because it's the right thing to do but because one should never turns its back on his/her allies ever. It's ethicallt wrong unless they have turned on you.

We accept your friendship and return it.

Perhaps we could sit and discuss a possibly trade agreement that would benefit both of our fine nations. As well, maybe an exchange of embassies.

To Theklia Arkyan, Prime Minister of Kryozerkia

We would very much like to strengthen the ties between our two nations by way of official diplomatic agreements, as it would only benefit both parties concerned. However, as we are currently putting all our efforts into the mobilisation of our forces and the collecting of intelligence, we would ask for your patience in finalizing this matter. There is currently much amiss, and we are on the verge of a horrid, and seeminly unavoidable conflict. We feel that it would be prudent to leave the lighter matters of international diplomacy for a more peaceful time. I do hope you understand our position. Be well friend.

Yours in arms,

Foreign Minister Anton Schützer:

"Our admission into NATO was a high point in our nation's life. It was not only an honour for our nation's administration and people, but a testament to the willingness of NATO's leadership to take a wide and balanced view of our nation's many good and bad points, triumphs and disasters, noble and heinous acts. Time and again, through thick and thin, NATO has been a reliable friend, not just in the affairs of individual members, but of the alliance as a whole. Our membership of NATO has been fruitful and beneficial to our nation, and we would hope it has been equally prosperous and fortunate to NATO itself.

Now, when nations desert NATO for their own varied reasons, there are those who question whether we are not merely the foolish men, playing cards at table on the sloping decks of a doomed ship. These are the people who leave when the going becomes rough, when their complaints somehow compel them to avoid reforming the organisation they are in and instead run from it. These are the people who have been the death of alliances and even nations, and will continue to be so long as there is a human race. But we are not of that kind.

Our nation will stand by NATO so long as NATO and we have an ounce of strength left in us. We, in the words of Rudyard Kipling,

'...can force our heart and nerve and sinew
To serve our turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in us
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on.'

And we will hold on, so long as we believe, as we do now, that NATO is a voice and a force for justice, peace, freedom and good, a force which can and will stand through the storm of plotting foes and deceiving cowards, which will remain strong despite those whose commitment does not, and will remain and grow, whate'er fate, or the fiend, may send."

- Statement by Prime Minister Marcus Jones and Foreign Minister Anton Schützer

Vast Principles notices these actions and immedatly recognises Presgreif, we shall be keeping an eye on NATO and look into AMF.

We understand. We have our hands full with Talematros/Clearwafer/Drybread and Farflorin and Roycelandia's impatience with their approach. We also need to clean up this mess.

We will be in contact with you at a later date to discuss such matters.

Peacefully yours...

Diplomatic Message

Ab-shalom and greetings to the world;

Our word is our bond. It does not break.

Our word was given to NATO. It will not be broken.

Namaste,

IDF will never leave NATO. The restructuring is going along fine and we now have the infrastructure we should've had originally. I have never been prouder to be in NATO than I am right now.

I... love... NATO!!!!!!!!!!!!
