| Message | Kalistan has long stood opposed to the development, possession and deployment of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Additionally, the Nation must control at least some critical defense industries to ensure that our State is not gouged by war profiteers in times of national emergency. Keeping at least some defense industries in the public sphere undermines the power of capitalism to hold our nation for ransom in exchange for them doing what they are supposed to be doing and supplying our nation with weapons at cost. We should never let private profit prevail over the National Interest, not in any circumstance. The individual good must always yield to the National Interest. |
