*A handsome Allanean newscaster appears on screen*
Greetings, Freemen.
Ten minutes ago, we were informed by the Congressional Record of Allanea that the House has passed – at 63.4% Aye votes – and the Senate has affirmed at 110 out of 200 votes, the Allanean National Sovereignty Act, binding the United States of Allanea to exit the ACID – the anti-communist alliance dominated by the Imperium of Doomingsland.
We will be cutting to the speech of Senate Libertarian Majority Leader Antalia Reynes [L-Merkaz] – also former President of the United States - on the topic of the bill.

“...let me say it again, I bear no ill will to the President or to his legacy. Without him, we would not be sitting here today. Any of Allanea's leaders could be replaced, but he could not be.
But that does not mean – should not be ever understood to mean – that he is always right. And in the topic of the ACID, he's just terribly, tragically wrong.
Do I imply that Allanea should wage war on Doomingsland or any other ACID members? No. I oppose the very notion of waging total war to bring supposed liberty to foreign nations, and I have always differed on this issue with both President Kazansky and members of his cabinet.
Do I imply that Allanea should not trade with Doomingsland, or perhaps should prohibit imports of any other ACID members? Gods no. If ever there was a universal instrument to promote peace, justice, and liberty world-wide, it is free trade – not bound by strange international regulations, UN rule, or some other madness like this. Let me say it again: I do not bear ill will to any people, nor do I oppose trade.
But to ally ourselves with the government of Doomingsland for the tenuous notion of defending ourselves from the supposed Communist threat? Pray tell, what communist country can threaten us? Would we not wash any agressor from the land and sea by merely flexing our bomber fleet in their vague direction? Haven't our Boy Scouts elicited the surrender of the Knootian Army at one point at the past?
What, is this the Dark Age of Allanea still, where we had no allies, and had to demean ourselves before every foreign court in search for them? Are we not now members of NATO? Have we not crushed the Azahans and destroyed their very civilisation by the use of a single bomber wing? Are we not members of ESUS and the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances? Have our forces not covered themselves in glory eternal on the ground, at sea, and in orbit?
There are those who will say I am guided by the fear of world communism, that I prostrate myself before the outstretched Gelletian bayonet and the raised boot of Ariddian socialist imperialism, that I merely take my marching orders from world communism. To these people, I will say in the best Allanean fashion: I take my marching orders from the Constitution. Fuck off and die in a fire.
*camera shifts to show thousands of representatives rising in applause*

“As you see, the bill has met with broad support in Congress and the Senate. However, it remains to be seen if a Presidential veto will be used to stop it. We remind you that this year the President-for-Life has used his veto merely three times...”
