Repealing NAPA was only fair to non-member nations as it removes one more hurdle that they needed removed in order to disarm WA members. Given the current stance the WA seems to want to take, I will now wholeheartedly support a repeal of Rights and Duties, so that we can finally pass a resolution, guaranteeing that the WA itself will retaliate with nuclear weapons, should a member nation be attacked by a non-member nation....


If this is truly an environment of disarmament, that's never going to pass. And if it's not, there's no need for it to pass. I'm not going to bore you with my stance on it, since you already know

I never said the WA itself is taking a disarmament stance. The WA is taking a repeal everything that is more than ten years old stance. The Security Council is no different. Apparently all it takes is stretching the definition of reality to it's absolute tensile strength limit and confusing people as to what the word "available" actually means. If #2 were to be successfully repealed, I believe someone could get a WA nuclear "umbrella" resolution through....

Well, we're repealing GA#2 "soon", so maybe you want to get started on that draft, then?

No…. Not me. I don’t have the will or the political clout to get something like that passed. There are a few accomplished authors here that do, and I very much hope they decide to run with that torch.

Serious question for all: Why would you put a nation you actually care about in the WA and subject it to the whims of these muppets?

Because there's literally no reason not to. Once you're dissatisfied with the arrangement you leave. Simple as that. No hurt feelings.

Honestly? Wouldn't mind co-authoring with you. Would be a pretty valid intro to GA proposal/repeal writing, that and I am a fan of your work.

Glad to know where this body's priorities are. If a pregnant girl wants lie and say she was raped so her family will pay for the abortion, the WA will stand right by you. If another nation wants to obliterate your country (and all reproductive rights therein), then your right to deterrence is protected...until this one resolution enshrining your right to it is knocked down. Then you're on your own.

Oh please stop being so melodramatic. A replacement is imminent I believe and while your false single tear rolling down your proverbial cheek is amusing to read, it is entirely redundant.

You're overthinking it, they don't actually care about the RP implications of any of this.
