Confirmation hearing: Averroes for Secretary of External Affairs (Confirmed)

[Lumine]

Well, I greatly respected Nix when he was President and I was supportive of him in that time, respect that I certainly haven't lost with time, which means I am more than willing to support the nominee as long as I clear out one or two issues of which I'm curious of.

In regards to Ukraine I am quite supportive of the nominee's views in how to react against Russia on their aggression, but I have some doubts as to how the nominee would handle the relationship with President Poroshenko and what kind of aid to Ukraine he has in mind. As I stated before I do not share the skepticism of the President in regards to Iraq, so that puts me at odds with the administration, but I am supportive as well of the nominee's plans to meet with General Zebari and keep an open mind in regards to potential plans.

That said, I also have a series of questions:

-Do you plan to have an overreaching theme or message as SoEA?

-What do you think we should about the Global Treaty Organization?

-How do you plan to pursue the administration's plans to reform the United Nations?

-What are your thoughts regarding China? Do you see it as a rival? If so, how would to try to contain them?

-What is your take on the Superique Israel-Palestine peace deal?

-Do you have any plans regarding the ongoing Syrian Civil War?

-Lastly, I would like to see if the nominee has any plans regarding some nations that have been in the news lately, like Egypt, Thailand and Japan.

I'm not entirely supportive of some of the views presented (and it seems I will be at odds with the administration on foreign policy in several issues), but overall Nix is an active Atlasian and a man who has a record of being effective, so it would be cynical to oppose him just because of some minor disagreements. As of now, I could say I support the nominee.

Aye.
