Bill: Mutually Assured Destruction Doctrine
Details
Submitted by[?]: Solentian Secular Realist 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: June 4325
Description[?]:
| We are beyond an age where a war otherwise lost can have victory secured by using nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are messy and sloppy, rife with collateral damage, and have incredible environmental implications. To be blunt: Many forms of conventional warfare are simply cheaper, easier, and more effective to use in the interests of securing a victory. The law as it stands only serves to stick up a big middle finger to anyone who could defeat our military, and to ensure that if we fall we fall without grace and with further retaliation upon us. The only modern value to nuclear weaponry is to deter nuclear weaponry from being used against us in the first place. The Doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction is the gold standard of nuclear warfare. It is time for Solentia to bring its policy in line with a modern age. |
