While the nation of Guy0307 is anti-war, it also realises that in extreme circumstances all options must be available. NO

You do not want to mess with a WA statue. They're just that colossal.

[Walabamba]

Yep

[Yatanur]

Yatanur believes that if a nation really want to blockade something from entering it will, therefore we see no practical use on this resolution. It will be more the register of a opinion than an effective bill.

Therefore Yatanur vote to the negative on this bill, but applauds the innitiative.

[Markanite]

Well I voted for this resolution, so I suppose I followed the delegate on this one.

The iniatives good and could work to helping stop war, which Markanite also supports ending war.
