Bill: Increased Nuclear Capabilities

Details

Submitted by^[?]: Nationalist Free-Market Republican Party

Status^[?]: passed

Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: September 2074

Description^[?]:

With increased ability of destruction of weaponry in the modern world, the General Staff, along with the High Council of the NCRP, have agreed to propose the decelopment of a missile shield and better nuclear weapons.

PART ONE: Missile Shield

With the advent of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in the 1970's, every nation is nearly indefensable from a launch of these powerful and deadly weaponry. It is in Tukarali's best interest to develop a missile shield in order to prevent these attacks.

The missile shield will consist of a free-electron laser system from the ground and satellites in space. The exact construction, however, is classified, as to prevent foreign nations from stealing the program. I may go no further without compromising National Security.

PART TWO: Nuclear Weaponry

Currently, the law states that Tukarali may develop nuclear weaponry. However, this does not grant much. The General Staff would like to propose that the Tribal Council allow the military to produce Thermonuclear weaponry, as well as Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, MIRV deployments, and Sub-Launched Ballistic missiles. Also, the General Staff feels that it is in Tukarali's best interest to allow all types of nuclear weaponry be developed -- warhead, bombs, the works.

This proposal will add for the superior strength of Tukarali, and forever defend her against a nuclear threat.

From	Nationalist Free-Market Republican Party
To	Debating the Increased Nuclear Capabilities
Message	SDP, the so-called "star wars" project could have worked, had we had the right stuff. THe Soviets had the lasers, we had the mirrors. It would have worked, but obviously, the US/USSR wasn't about to discuss military secrets with each other.

Date	18:53:41, June 28, 2005 CET
From	Republican Party
To	Debating the Increased Nuclear Capabilities
Message	Republican Party is interested in enhancing founds for United Tribes of Tukarali's Army. So-called "star wars" project should be started as soon as possible. There is no other protection for mass destruction waepon. We can afford this project. We should reduce founds in useless socials programs and buy Missile Shield.

From	Democratic Socialist Party
To	Debating the Increased Nuclear Capabilities
Message	Useless social programs? Fine then: we'll cut education spending, scrap the health service (hey, 'cos everyone dies young, we save money on pensions!) and let the unemployed starve to death because we want bigger guns to kill each other with.

Message	DSP, a socialized health service is the worst possible heath service, because you don't GET service. However, here and now is not the appropriate time to debate.

From	Republican Party
To	Debating the Increased Nuclear Capabilities
Message	Free education, free health service means ineffective, expensive service. "There is no free lunch." We need this missile shield to protect our children from World threats !!!
