Description

2. No argument may be made disregarding the resolution.
3. No Kritiks.

5. No forfeiting.
6. Definitions are to be accepted. However, if necessary, you are permitted to include new definitions.

For the sake of fairness, Steve has full access to the creative MENU (Anything he wants from Minecraft he can obtain, but he's still killable)but cannot use anything involving commands or mods.

Definitions:
MInecraft Steve: Steve (mononymous) is the main protagonist to the popular sandbox game, Minecraft.
U.S: The U.S. is a country of 50 states covering a vast swath of North America, with Alaska in the northwest and Hawaii extending the nation’s presence into the Pacific Ocean.
Military: relating to or characteristic of soldiers or armed forces.
more likely: more likely than not
defeat: win a victory over (someone) in a battle or other contest; overcome or beat.

Roles:
PRO: Minecraft Steve could most likely defeat the U.S military in a military campaign.
CON: The U.S Military could most likely defeat Minecraft Steve in a military campaign.

Thanks for a good debate!

@RationalMadman

Yeah probably not the best topic. I didn't really know what to do and I was bored.

As for your question I believe a realistic approach would be better.

I am not entirely sure what precisely matters more; if the claim is realistic or if it's severe.

This debate is consisting of unrealistic and severe threats/claims meeting realistic and tame threats/claims from both sides.

That many nukes on American soil, would defeat the US military (and most civilian populations in the northern hemisphere) without Steve ever manifesting.

@Barney

Thanks for the vote! I agree CON focused on nukes a little too much.

A couple points:
Steve is most likely controlled by a non-optimum player.
With merely knowing Steve's approximate location, an area could be hit with one or more JDAMs before Steve has a chance to react https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1OqbwtIPy4

I am happy to vote on this, eventually.

@Intelligence_06

Again?

@Sum1hugme

I'm not entirely confident in other video game characters, so I'll propose a new resolution. That will probably make it fairer.

This is too easy for pro. You should make it a video game character, bc of course a guy who can carry Eifel towers worth of gold could kill a human in a fight.
