Russia's invasion of Ukraine has prompted Sweden and Finland to cast off decades of neutrality in favor of seeking NATO accession. Should the United States support their entry?

As China rises on the global stage, worries grow that the Asian autocracy will assert itself militarily by forcefully 'unifying' Taiwan with the mainland. For decades, the United States has maintained a policy of support for Taiwan, a policy which may one day bring us into direct conflict with China. The purpose of this debate is to investigate just how far US support for Taiwan's independence should go.

In honor of July 4th, let's debate whether Americans ought to be proud of their country. I think Americans are unjustified in feeling national pride. Who disagrees?

Enter this debate at will. I don't want Singularity here because I want to debate with a different view.

Some have criticized space exploration as wasteful spending, noting that billions of humans still suffer from a lack of basic material well-being. How can we justify devoting time, money, ingenuity, and political capital to (for example) landing a probe on Mars when (for example) nearly a billion humans live below the global poverty line?

Some people seem to believe the Bible is perfectly non-contradictory, and this baffles me. Hopefully, my opponent can help me understand how a person who has studied the Bible can believe it at no point contradicts itself.

Some arms control advocates dream of the day when the last nuclear weapon is dismantled. But is this really a desirable outcome? In this debate, I hope to show there is a superior ideal to strive for.
