| Message | The PPR unreservedly support this bill. |
| Date | 02:13:22, October 21, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Warfare Regulations |
| Message | Our reasons for opposing this legislation are much the same as our reasons for opposing the outlaw of biological and chemical weapons production - in warfare, Rutania must keep all options available, no matter how extreme, in case they become necessary, or in case potential enemies are willing to resort to measures that Rutania is not. In some cases, the use of such extreme measures may in fact end a war sooner, saving thousands or even millions of lives, and even if they are not used, they often act as an invaluable peace-keeping tool. |

| Message | We believe in a complete ban of nucleur weapons. How on earth you could find a non-civilian area when the damage inflicted by the evil weapons is so geographically vast especially when you take into account radiation. |
