The UK incident

On January the 10th, Dragon opened the Constitution to find a threat from the UK and been typed. Dragon went into the UK discord and immediatly told GeneralRhombus about the act of agression. GeneralRhombus claimed of no knowledge of this act and agreed to stop anymore acts. Dragon deleted the message and believed General would stop anymore of these acts.

The Second UK incident

On the 12Th of January, after the Tri-nation pact was agreed on, the exact same message apeared. Dragon was furious, as the Tri-Nation pact was supposed to have been a peace message.
