The people in the room stared at the big screen in silence. They were carefully listening to the words of the man that was talking on the screen.
No one said anything and they all quietly listened to those words. They were familiar with the man talking in the video. Who wouldn't know the face of their neighboring country's president?
They frowned more and more after any single sentence that the man said. The atmosphere in the room was cold and heavy, reflecting the mood of the people in the meeting.
The video ended after a few minutes and the people in the room started arguing over that person's words.
One man slammed the table angrily.
"What makes them think that they have the right to request such a thing from us?"
A woman massaged her eyes with two fingers.
"Do they think we would let such a thing happen? Really, they don't understand the situation at all."
Someone else tapped the table with his finger.
