Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) should be abolished in its current form.

Refutations:Banning all Nuclear WeaponsI dismissed the notion of banning nuclear weapons, because it's never been done before. We banned nuclear testing, but that is much different from banning the possession of nuclear weapons all together.As a result of having nuclear weapons, countries have the most destructive weapon known to mankind and they aren't willing to give them up. Sure they may decide not to test them anymore, but they won't agree to destroy them all. There is no reason to believe a ban on nuclear weapons can be accomplished unless you think the U.S, UK, Russia, and China are all run by upfront and honest leaders who are willing to eliminate their nuclear arsenals out of good will towards one another.Imbalance of powerI thought it was widely known that North Korea instigated a 3 year long war that resulted in the deaths of millions of North Korean, Chinese, South Korean soldiers and civilians after they launched a dastardly surprise attack on South Korea in order to unite Korea under communism.[1]They have since been responsible for multiple violations along the DMZ, an assassination attempt on the SK president, the sinking of a SK destroyer and a bombing of a SK military base, all translates into thousands of casualties.[2][3]Iran is an anti-Semitic nation bent on “wiping Israel off the map”. [4]Additionally, Iran has been supplying terrorist groups such as the Taliban with munitions such as explosive compounds which have caused the deaths of hundreds British and American soldiers. [5]This is ignoring countless other unstable regions around the globeIn short, aggressive countries are threatening our allies and we should make it certain that we can defend them.Responsibility of the Nuclear PowersThe U.S. only used two nuclear weapons in combat during the largest war in human history. Since then they have not been used again even though several generals and leaders have pushed to do so. [6][7]We used them on Japan because the Big Six of Japan ignored our surrender terms. [8] Nuclear bombs were not used by the U.S. in the Korean War, the Vietnamese War, The Gulf Wars, the Invasion of Afghanistan, etc.I also did not say that it was solely the U.S. that was the responsible power.Russia, China, UK, India, Pakistan, and France all have nuclear weapons and have not used them.It is also very fallacious that my opponent points to the fact that no other nation on the planet has used nukes, including poor "Banana Republics". He avoids the fact that currently the NPT prevents them from owning any.Defense of my argument :Irresponsible nations will be able to possess nuclear armsMy opponent says that since the U.S. is the only nation to use nuclear weapons that means the U.S. hasn’t shown restraint using nuclear weapons.If this was true then we would have used them in Korea when Macarthur asked to use them against China. [6]We would have used them in the Vietnam when several military officials wanted to use tactical nuclear devices to block supply routes. [7]The U.S. has been in several fierce "wars" over the span of 60 + years and hasn’t used a nuke in any conflict after WW2.Regarding the pre 1967 time limitMy opponent wrote, "I propose that the NPT be abolished and one of two options be considered"I am against this, not minor revisions.Other nations will not have nuclear safeguardsNotice how my opponent suggest that we should allow every country to posses nuclear arms and then states, "Almost all countries have their own safeguards"This is clear admission as a concession that even my opponent isn't certain that every country will have good safeguards in place, largely because it is a ludicrous notion that countries run by dictators or other authoritarian figures in poor and unstable states will have something to restrict their power.[1]http://bit.ly...[2]http://bit.ly...[3]http://bit.ly...[4]http://nyti.ms...[5]http://bit.ly...[6]http://bit.ly...[7]http://bit.ly...[8]http://bit.ly...
