Bill: RCP's Nuclear Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical Conservative Party
Status[?]: passed
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 2172
Description[?]:
| Recall the final days of World War II. Harry Truman made the decision to drop the nuclear bomb instead of sending troops to death (I forget where they would have invaded). The RCP feels that this policy is necessary. We can't wait until we are brought down like Japan was. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The government's policy concerning the use of nuclear weaponry in warfare.
Old value:: The nation shall never use nuclear weapons in warfare unless another nation uses them first.
Current: The nation shall never use nuclear weapons in warfare.
Proposed: The nation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons if victory is not feasibile by other means.

| Message | I think it should be unlawful to put "victory" and "nuclear destruction" in the same sentence. |
| Date | 21:06:39, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the RCP's Nuclear Act |
| Message | I can see the rationality of using nuclear weapons first. There is an argument that suggests that fewer people died as a result of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki than would have been killed if the war had continued conventionally. However, the risks of allowing a government such as the one we have to have the power to use nuclear weapons basically whenever they feel like it are far too great. |
