I don't have a GA rule it breaks, so I think a mod should come in and remove it as Trolling.
The way I see it, it isn't actionable as a post, but in something like a proposal, much like a signature, there isn't any way to respond to it.

I don't think that's fair, seeing as other resolution cite authors. I think the least controversial way to adjudicate this is by the honest mistake rule.

The argument that "Rational governments would be doing rational things anyway, so this is unnecessary", because it could potentially be used against so many resolutions, fails to be enough -- like NatSov-only repeal attempts -- under the rule that repeals must address the contents of the specific resolutions being targeted.

But it does address the target resolution in the last section, I think. That's explicitly why I didn't make the analogy to a natsov-only repeal - because it does actually make a real argument later on. It's just that that first section baldly claims things that no author would agree to outside of an interrogation chamber, and that are clearly false, and that are at odds with both the target resolution and every other possible resolution.
If you're adamant, though, I'll insert this paragraph as a brief concurrence.

Agreed.
