As news of the Baltocarpathian retaliation against the militant attacks in September reached the general Kulkkistani public, Supreme Leader Ali Tarrokh would appear in Noshkant, condemning the strikes in northern Kulkkistan, claiming that the "unjustified acts of aggression" against the Kulkkistani people have resulted in the deaths of at least six militants, or as Tarrokh called them, "resistance fighters". The strikes had also resulted in moderate damage to several communities in the north, with some infrastructure having received notable damage. Supreme Leader Tarrokh would also threaten the Baltocarpathians, claiming that further incursions would result in consequences unlike any other. As for the militant groups, their responses were much, much more aggresive. Hazameh, which had been at the forefront of the ground incursion into Baltocarpathia just a while ago, stated that the attacks would only increase from here, and that their forces were well-equipped enough to continue their "resistance". The Ansouthis would publish a more official statement, stating that the "Baltocarpathians' malicious and aggressive goals are not to protect their own territory, but rather to exacerbate the struggle of the Kulkkistani people to a point of wanting justified revenge". Other smaller groups, meanwhile, stated that the blatant attacks by Baltocarpathia were only aimed at putting the nation of Kulkkistan under pressure.

Much to Tarrokh's disdain, however, the situation would only worsen from here, turning against Kulkkistan's favor. Following the round of attacks on the border, Kulkkistan has found itself surrounded diplomatically and militarily, something that has surprised even the highest of Kulkkistani leadership. For the numerous years that this border conflict has been ongoing, not a single nation has even bothered to notice the situation, including even the governments of Kulkkistan and Baltocarpathia, to an extent. Nonetheless, the recent attacks have put some unwanted light on the whole situation, with several monarchies, including the likes of Averius, Eftaania, and Allessia. Averius in particular has been a notable pain for Kulkkistan recently, as their highly pretentious and annoying monarch has come out to make statements, rambling on about what has been perceived as just nonsense to many. Not only were the verbal attacks conidered nonsense, however the recent sanctions which Averius has announced against Kulkkistan are expected to, of course, have absolutely no effect on the Kulkkistani government so far. In response to these sudden attacks, Tarrokh would make sporadic statements, claiming that the monarchs' "divine rights" mumbo-jumbo nonsense was the only excuse that aging kings could come up with in order to cling onto waning power. The people of Kulkkistan, Tarorkh would claim, had selected him as the sole leader of the revolution in order to lead Kulkkistan and Kalrania into a new world, a world rejecting traditions and moving on from imperialism. Adding on to this, he stated that time for a global revolution was as "urgent as ever", directing these statements towards the monarchies of the world. "Revolutionaries of the world, if your ideals are under threat", he added, "we would be more than proud in helping you complete your ambitions if requested."

Kulkkistani society, meanwhile, was uneasy at best. Although a good majority of them were all for "exporting the revolution", recent threats by regional monarchist neighbors had made them rethink a lot of things. With the economy struggling, and things de-centralized under Tarrokh, war would be the last thing Kulkkistan needed. Noticing this, Tarrokh would request that the militant groups partially step back regarding their attacks at the moment, asking them to avoid provoking a war and stick to smaller attacks rather than ground incursions and the like.

However, on the 26th of February, on the other side of the border in Baltocarpathia, where things had continued getting more and more uneasy as a result of regional tensions, an explosion would be reported at a warehouse in southeast Baltocarpathia, where a small fire would occur before it was put out. remnants of what seemed to be a drone would be discovered as recovery efforts were being made. A few days later on the first of March, another explosion would occur, this time targeting a Baltocarpathian military checkpoint, and although no one was killed, some damage was reported as the remnants of another drone were found in the explosion.

RP: Military Needs

Although the offer was much appreciated, Kulkkistan's military couldn't do much but to decline the offer, as $150 billion was simply just too much for Kulkkistan to spend on military. Instead, it was requested that Amberleaf decrease both the price and quantity of military equipment in the offer in order to allow Kulkkistan's military to accept the offer.
