TOP SECRET
Hand delivered to the Burgundian, Eiffellandian and Retalian embassies in Amstov by secure courier, addressed to their respective heads of government and state
DEAR SIR(S)
Only hours ago did our embassy in Ivar receive the attached files, which include a letter warning of an imminent Kadikistani invasion, as well as official military documents detailing troop movements and planned attack vectors.
Despite having analysed surveillance footage of our embassy compound, we have been unable to identify the sender, who claims to be a senior source within the Kadikistani armed forces.
However, our own intelligence services believe the files to be authentic, especially given Kadikistan has just mobilised its entire Western Direction, which covers all its military assets from the Kalahari Ocean to the Lyric Sea, and therefore the entirety of our shared border.
This all said, I must confess our analysts are divided over the motivations of the sender: are they a genuine friend of Trivodnia trying to warn our small nation of its impending doom? Or is it a Kadikistani agent trying to provoke us into launching a first strike? We cannot know for sure.
Regardless, our national security situation grows increasingly precarious by the day. Having initially thought it was General Alexander Radek who launched the failed palace coup in Banja Luka, we now believe it have been a false flag operation by Raoul Farrago, most likely with Kadikistani assistance.
While publicly we continue to maintain our distance with General Radek, in supreme confidence we have been supporting his rebel forces materially, financially and with intelligence where possible. But we have great doubts on his ability to enact regime change in Crotobaltislavonia and remove Kadikistan's military presence.
Sources within refugee camps also suggest Elben is organising separate militias to restore the previous monarchy, while we are also told local Jewish communities, which have been the victims of foul Crotobaltislavonian state propaganda, are beginning to arm themselves in anticipating of anti-Semitic pogroms. No doubt both Farrago and Ivar will likely try and blame the emergence of both resistance forces on us, just as they have with the coup.
This leads us to further believe Kadikistan will at some point, if not as imminently as the accompanying documents suggest, launch an attack on Trivodnia.
We are acutely aware that, for complex legal and historic reasons, Trivodnia has no formal alliance with any three of your nations. But for decades you have each individually publicly promised to guarantee our sovereignty and independence every time it has been threatened, and have done so again most recently.
While I do not want to downplay these words of solidarity and strength, which without a doubt have helped keep Kadikistan at bay for years, I need your governments to honestly tell me whether you will indeed come to our aid in the event of a Kadikistani invasion.
This is not to guilt you into action. But I am an elected politician, and thus aware of the pressures of democratic governance. No doubt many voters in your countries will legitimately ask why their blood is being spilled in a foreign land you have no legal obligation to defend. You will have to answer to those voters. But I need to know that answer before they do so I can do what is best for my own country.
