| Message | Why should Pontesi be deprived of the right to act first if it knows an attack is imminent? Why should Pontesi be deprived of the right to use fear-inducing intercontinental weaponry unless we suffer a strong blow first and allow our own defence potential to be weakened? Your bill weakens our nation. |
