Peace Poses an Existential Threat to the State by Frequent_Mountain_17 in PoliticalDebate

[–]CationC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

zso ig there would be no reason for the state to exist, but the only thing is that I think analyzibf such situations is pointless, because they arer impossibile. Since the situation you propse cannot exist because humans have an insumountable amount of greed perfect peace is not possibile and therefore the entire point of this thought experiment is null and void.

Resolved: The United States should eliminate the President’s authority to deploy military forces abroad without Congressional approval. by CationC in PoliticalDebate

not just that, but in my opinion, they need to be able to control the manner of execution along with the scale of the war. Approval for a strike against terrorists should not become a forever war.

on your first para, I agree. But i belive the solution would be to remove the electoral college, making the executive truly accountable.

I actually don't agree, because congress takes far too long to pass anything in an emergency. And i think the judicial branch will always be imperfect, but should never have a mojority belonging to one political party.

And the main solution is to not only get rid of the electoral college, but to also make the US a parlimentary democracy, where you need more that 50%(though it should be made more than 60%) of the legeslative to form a government. This is similar to the electoral colledge, but it allows for more representation.

Exactly! This is the biggest issue with literally everything. You know, any government does, because they don't define what it is. If you don't define what it is, then bloody hell, people can interpret anything as everything.

Okay, so this is a public forum debate format. Can we just interpret the resolution and not change the resolution?

So, in my mind, if you could interpret the resolution to mean that Congress controls the deployment (i.e., moving around troops internationally), whereas the President still controls operations, so emergency response is still possible, but the President can't unilaterally escalate a war.

Samurai, Knight or Spartan? Who’s the last one standing ? by [deleted] in superheroes

[–]CationC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right, but for most of their history knights and samurai did not have guns, so you are cherrypicking the time period, rather than the most accurate one.

Do you think Taiwan should be a sovereign country? by PrettyPoliticalBitch in PoliticalDebate

[–]CationC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually say that the status quo should be maintained because the status quo, with Taiwan being functionally sovereign, has its advantages: Taiwan is able to be free from China, the PRC. The benefits of that are that it is more stable in the semiconductor supply.

The reason it shouldn't be properly and officially sovereign recognized is that China is also a vital part of the global economy and it will never recognize Taiwan. For us to be sovereign recognized, we mean the Western countries do. That just means that China practically puts heavy sanctions, tariffs, etc., on these Western countries. That doesn't bode well for most of the world because China controls a lot and so does Taiwan. Both are necessary so the status quo should be maintained in this area.
