It seems history likes to rhyme. Nearly 100 years later, it seems Vascania is becoming a threat to regional stability and safety. Citing the ongoing crisis in Southern Seleya as a reason to indulge into tasteless militarism, the Vascanian Empire has chosen to begin naval patrols in the Red Bass Ocean, and the Sovereign Sea. Suffice to say, this has been received with alarmed reactions in not only Metz-Leonid, but also Gemun. The deployment of patrols in the Sovereign Sea has been highlighted as a major threat to the stability of the region, and economic safety of all Dovani nations sharing a coastline with the Sovereign Sea. Imperialists come in all shapes, sizes and colours. Vascania has shown itself to be an imperialist with the illegal annexation of Rapa Pile, and now looks to continue expanding its sphere into the Sovereign Sea. Under normal circumstances, this would be an understandable move. Every nation reserves the right to patrol their own waters. What makes this different is two things. One, the psuedo fascist government in Vascania, and two, the neglect of patrols in the Vascanian Sea. Meaning that this has been interpreted as a direct threat to all states in the Sovereign Sea and even the Sea of Carina.

That is why the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs has announced that the Xsampan Democratic Army Navy and the Armed Forces of Bianjie Navy will begin their own joint patrols in the Sovereign Sea. Working together, both nations will work to maintain the peace, ensure trade isn't disrupted for all nations and ensure Vascanian Patrols don't get too bold. The People's Committee of Revolutionary Defense has announced that these patrols will occur until both Gemun and Metz-Leonid adequately deem the situation to be stabilized. Cooperation between the two militaries is bound to not only bring about closer ties, but ensure both nations have adequate control over the ever so fragile situation against Vascania. While we can't speak for Bianjie, we can speak for ourselves and the consensus amongst Xsampans is, we must resist imperialism from fascists. In Metz-Leonid itself, the situation has been described as tense with worry rising particularly over the reopening of the Yeudi Base in Vascania. While we thought the remnants of Beitenyu (now Amudin) were shattered in the Red Bass War and the Peace Treaty signed in the 40s put an end to all hostilities, it seems that they cannot allow a peaceful world to exist. The People's Committee of Foreign Affairs, particularly People's Commissar, Thubten has given the following statement.

I know the situation is delicate, Comrades. History does not repeat, but it rhymes and we've seen this a century ago. We know how it ended. That is why we are doing everything we can to ensure that this doesn't spiral further and that Vascania doesn't do anything that breaks international norms. I'm very glad to have worked with my counterpart in Bianjie in bringing about military cooperation, and I'm sure we'll find more opportunities in the future. I thank our Comrades in Bianjie for their cooperation. As for Vascania, let it be on the record that Metz-Leonid is open to ending this fiasco before it spirals further. We are open to negotiating, but we will not ignore present realities. The opening of the Yeudi Base has raised several alarms. Particularly over national and economic security. Our concern is immense.

With public approval continuing to rise, the debate has arisen over potential usage of the only aircraft carrier that Xsampa has, the XNS Boaty McBoat Face has surfaced. It hasn't seen active conflict since the Red Bass War and while using it for patrols would be overkill, these are fascists who are not above petty provocations. While the public and PAX debates that, Comrade Jamma has assured the public that every precaution is being taken and open communications with our allies are being used to ensure the best case scenario.
