Bill: No to Biological/Chemical Weapons Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Communist Party of Beluzia and Bailon
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2465
Description[?]:
| I understand our nation requires some form of large-scale weaponry to deter other nations from using those weapons on us, but why do we need both biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons? If we just build and maintained nuclear weapons, we would increase safety, promote peace, and continue to defend the nation. This bill would include banning bioligical/chemical weapons, agreeing never to use them, but at the same time, be able to develop and use nuclear weapons in case of attack. |
