You all took responsibility as a union. This situation is very precious and history records it. Future generations will gain strength from this sacrifice.
You are so right in this sentence, that's exactly what happens:

Authoritarian regimes easily engage in foreign wars, while the people of any democracy will not forgive their government for dragging the country into another's war.

Unfortunately, as you said, there are unpredictable things. But by focusing on good thoughts, hope can be kept alive and motivated to do more.

I did not know about the land and farms in your country, I learned it thanks to you. Having sufficient land for the people is a good advantage for agriculture.

It is very valuable to produce your own agricultural products. In agriculture, in my country, it used to be the same as in your past times, but unfortunately, many food products are imported now. This situation increases foreign dependency. Agriculture is really important.

I believe that you all will return to the days when you were happy, peaceful and safe, but it will take time. You all will become more mature and all of you will be very beneficial for your society. I hope the better times happen as soon as possible.
