The United States I understand is an organization or corporation titled North America in the the northwestern hemisphere if I'm not mistaken.

This thing exists, functions within the economy and commerce system to support the livelihood and lives of many inhabitants.

Being that is the apparent goal, otherwise there would be no civilization or growing society breaking into the so called United States, there's an aim , there's an objective .

In order to maintain as is, there has to be preservation.

The beings looking to preserve life should defend it by what it takes which is counter attacking that attacking it.

Why? It's because life can't be preserved or the beloved United States, whatever, without doing so.

None of con's arguments provide any reason to nuke India. My argument is pretty simple: India is not involved in any war that makes it necessary to use nuclear weapons. India is a country that has overwhelmingly positive relations with the US, and they have not caused any major global issues, therefore, we should not destroy millions of innocent people.

I am in critical need of a vote at this point of time, can anyone please vote for these debates? They are extremely rudimentary decisions.

This isn’t an RFD, just a direct quote of Pro’s final round. That is not sufficient.

Reason:

This is a pretty straightforward decision in my opinion.

S/G: I award this to Con. Their sentences made sense and were easy to ready grammatically and structurally. Pro on the other hand had run-on sentences (like the very first sentence). Second “sentence” has a sentence fragment as well just as another example.

Conduct: This is a tie as both sides were respectful to each other and there was no cursing or inappropriateness.

Sources: I am going to give this to Con because they provided a source unlike Pro. The source is an official government website that demonstrates bilateral relations and cooperation, which undermines any notion that the US should attack India.

Arguments: This one goes to Con as well. The S/G by Pro really makes it hard to understand their argument. My understanding is that Pro makes an argument for defense and preservation of lives in the United States. However, this argument only makes sense if India were to attack the US, which Pro doesn’t talk about at all. Con rightfully points out that India is not in any war, which means the defense argument doesn’t apply. Plus he mentions the benefits of not nuking India with his source, thus fulfilling is burden.

Con wins.
