My god, this is harder than I first thought Cllr. van Allen, and your arguments are just 2 if we don't want to support your proposals: "Do you want to deprieve my country?" or "Do you want to destroy the EU?" It seems that if someone goes against one of your proposals, then "he has to go to hell, there's no way someone can go against me, technically impossible."

And about the Union of Nicoleizian Soviet Republic, mostly known as UNSR, I'm going to say something that has been proven in the past and will always be like that: Rogue states never accomplish the law, and they will never do that. So, passing this to avoid rogue nations to attack us is as silly as saying that we are controlled by someone and we are jailed on a videogame. I'm going against this act, and even if I'm against war, I see this as a silly thing, because it changes nothing. At least, Cllr. Falk has proposed some amendments that make this much better, but still, I'm opposed to this.

You want to develop space-borne weapons to do what? Attack or scare anyone you hate? Do you really not want peace and unity and spare the lives of the future Europeans who would cherish our successes in Space? The illegitimate government in Icholasen is the biggest threat to us all. If they had done it to us in Reitzmag, they can do it to all of the member-states! And we can prevent that if we pass this act Mr. Tusk.
