Description[?]:
We know that the other parties may have very different feelings about this bill, and so we will try to make our reasons clear: It is not our intention to make Kazulia a nuclear power, or a state that disregards human rights, fighting with weapons that are counted amongst the cruelest, most inhumane of all. However, we see that we have to adjust ourselves to the international realities of Terra. Here, many nations develop and store nuclear weapons, here, many nations reserve the right to use them without any regulation. As there is no strong international community in Terra, that would watch upon those states, and uniformally condemn actions taken with the help of this weaponry, we cannot hope for another country to help us, and we cannot hope that other countries will fear other repercussions than our own if they attacked us. Therefore, we need the possibility to threaten aggressors. The laws proposed in this bill make clear, that it won\'t be our intention to attack, or to create aggression towards us. But they have to be installed in order to show other nations that Kazulia is no easy prey. And this indeed are times in which such actions can easily happen. At the moment, there are at least three great wars going on in Terra, two of them linked with powerful, yet aggerssive international organisations, and one was even opende with the nuclear bombardement of a whole nation. There will be two ways to ensure Kazulias safety: The most important one will be to create a network of friendly states, to ensure, that Kazulia wouldn\'t stand alone. We will work on that in our Ministry (of Foreign Affairs), and we have a good basis coming with us - we are close friends with important Hulstrian parties, we have had old ties with Dranland - it is most likely that we will be able to make Kazulia important for the Dovanian nations. The second way is also unavoidable, and it is represented by this bill, and will be worked upon in our Ministry (of Defence): It is to make Kazulia a state not likely to be attacked, by making it defendable even against the most viscious weapons on Terra. It is not intended to make Kazulia dangerous our mighty and powerful by its military, our goal cannot be for Kazulia to become an aggressor on its own, but to make Kazulia able to defend itself. - Lord Erik Munin, future Minister of Foreign Affairs |
