TO: Argentina
FROM: Brazil
We did not promise non-aggression when an illegal leftist coup takes place in our neighbor, friend, and ally. We have been called into this war by defensive pact, which is wholly legal and justified by law. It is Argentina who is breaking the peace we signed just last year, and it does not look good for your government. To claim the Moralist party is corrupt and is the sponsor of organized crime is nothing but leftist propaganda along the lines of Scandinavian diplomatic barking.
There is no illegal leftist coup in Uruguay; there is a militant moralist coup. We have long pledged the protection of Uruguay from foreign tyrants and lo and behold you announce you are invading. Our defense of the Liberal president does not come at the price of disregarding the legitimacy of the Moralist legislature. The Moralist legislature has overthrown the president and has sought to replace him with one of their own illegally. Brazil pledged total non-aggression and to seek the peaceful solutions first. The first act was to announce the invasion of another state. I have no evidence that Brazilian Moralism is corrupt, but level of organized crime in Uruguay is impossible without the complicity of the police and government of the Moralist regime.
President Duval was found guilty by independent contractors of everything from underhanded practices, illegal political abuses, and election rigging in 1935. You cannot say that this man is the rightful president of Uruguay when he was proven by the people of Uruguay and third parties, whom had no connection to the Moralist Party, to have conducted electoral fraud. As such, his militant uprising in the capital of Uruguay is nothing more than a revolution by a corrupt and defeated politician.
This wasn't proven. Impeachment trials are undertaken by the legislature: this was an illegal Moralist power play by a government unwilling to share power with other parties. Senator Padilla has been named by the legislature, not by the people. How exactly is he 'corrupt and defeated' when he holds the vast majority of popular support, as well as the allegiance of the navy and air force?
There is no Moralist revolution, they are simply the legal, elected legislature. They, along with other members of the government and judiciary branch have found Duval guilty and impeached him on corruption charges that have been proven true. Argentina is effectively supporting a coup by the opposition, and for all we know was the catalyst for the armed revolution of Duval to begin with.
This is purely political and you know it. If we investigate the corruption of the Moralist government, we are sure to find all of these charges leveled against them as well. The Moralist government has corrupted the processes of Uruguay and we will not stand for it. Brazil should watch its tongue before making baseless allegations against Argentina.
We stand by liberty, where Argentina actively support proletarism in North America through aid to the UPRA. Your military aggression and build up followed by this coup and threat of war in Uruguay is PROOF that Argentina has planned this action against Moralism in South America.
How have we aided the UPRA? Where is your proof? Again, talk of military aggression and buildup is purely on your side of the table. Brazil is invading or supporting a coup in yet another state; something it has done many times in the past decade. Brazilian warmongering in support of Moralist coups in the Americas are what has led to our defensive stance, something our treaties of last year hoped to avoid. When has Argentina done anything similar?
Padilla is the legally chosen interim president of the Republic of Uruguay. Duval is a revolutionary thug who will be put down. We cannot allow Argentina to feed armed conflict in South America.
You are feeding armed conflict in South America by supporting an illegal Moralist coup and an illegal choice of successor. You can argue all you like, but the fact remains that the President's successor should have been chosen from the Liberal party.
And yet you are the one invading Uruguay and trying to avoid a peaceful diplomatic solution. We have been more than generous in our efforts to compromise; all we get is threats of war.
There has been no coup in Uruguay but that of Duval and his leftist militia. You should correct your statements, as even the United Kingdom of Great Britain recognizes the facts at hand. Argentina is willfully supporting the undemocratic coup of a leftist, and potentially proletarist, organization against the lawful and legitimate government of Uruguay.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain recognizes what it can over the span of the entire Atlantic. Argentina knows that our position regarding the corruption of the Uruguayan Moralist regime will be vindicated. Again, we are more than happy to compromise, but Brazil is unwilling to make peace; the ad hominem attacks of proletarism are completely baseless. The government of South America which is most like a Social Proletarist is Brazil itself; be careful, the world is listening and knows that you protest too much.
We are protecting the freedom of Uruguay and South America by assisting our ally in putting down this coup attempt. Your support of this coup is anti-freedom. Your preparations for war with Brazil are founded only in your warmongering ideology that is opposed to the peaceful ways of Moralism. We have been warning of this coming conflict for years, and now our predictions are proven true.
And yet you are invading Uruguay. Moralism seems perfectly capable of being a peaceful ideology, but not in Uruguay and not in Brazil's attitude toward Uruguay. The warning is our own: that Brazil has abandoned any respect for the governments of other states and seeks to impose a Moralist ideology everywhere it can. Argentina has been afraid for years that Brazilian promises aren't worth the paper they're printed on or the air they're spoken into.
Uruguay is our friend. Padilla and his government are the rightful, legitimate leadership until the next election cycle. Duval has killed thousands of Uruguayans in his power play and is supported by the supposedly peaceful government of Buenos Aires. Who do you think the international community will support?
The international community will support the one who is trying to resolve the matter by either leaving this entire affair to the Uruguayans or by having an observable and monitored special election to resolve the matter. The Brazilian desire to invade and murder the Liberal government, and let the Moralist party pick up the pieces does not provide a permanent solution for peace.
It is clear to us that Argentine efforts in Uruguay have caused and exacerbated this civil war and as such we do not view your military action in Uruguay to be legitimate or legal. Thus, we do not allow your involvement in the Uruguayan Civil War and demand the immediate cessation of conflict by Duval so that order may be restored.
We are responding to Brazilian efforts to intervene in this civil war and defending our ally Uruguay; again your slanderous lies of our exacerbating the problem, when all we have done is not worship-the-ground-you-walk-on, do not help the situation and merely prove our point. We have made many attempts at compromise, but we come back to the same points: Brazilian disregard for the rights of others and Brazilian desire to enforce a military coup by a corrupt legislature in Uruguay.
We warn Argentina that any military action against Brazil will be met with unrelenting war on your state until peace is achieved. We will not attack. We are not the aggressors. We will defend ourselves and our allies from you should you choose to disregard the warnings of not only Brazil, but also of Britain.
Argentina is defending itself and the rights of all South Americans against a state who does not respect their liberty. Brazil is attacking the legitimate government of Uruguay and has been responsible for coups throughout the Americas. Argentina and her allies will defend these rights with all force necessary, unless Brazil can find, as it is pledged to do, to support a compromise.
OOC: There is no proof of that. It is clear this is an illegal coup by Duval, who was legally impeached by a coalition effort in Uruguay. You have no ground to stand on. Duval conducted everything from electoral fraud to political abuses, man. You're being incredibly stupid if you believe his coup is the elected government when the update clearly says "leftist militia" and "coup".
OOC: The language is plain as day in the updates what the Moralist party has been up to for the past decade in Uruguay. Also, the update doesn't say "coup." Just because the ground forces aren't professional soldiers doesn't make them any less legitimate.
