| Message | The FRP condemns Seawave for its actions, we find this proposal deeply disturbing and treasonous. The FRP wonders if Seawave is dealing with foreign entities who would be interested in seeing Mordusia weekened. Defense secretary John Buckers assures the Senate that nuclear deterence is one of the main po9nts in our defense system and that reducing it would severly damage our defense potential. |

| Message | Yes, exactly, *defence*. That's the point of nuclear weaponry. It is not an offensive weapon by any stretch of the imagination. |

| Message | So, in the case of war, we have to wait until we have been obliterated before we can consider responding? What a pointless bill. |
