Security Council Resolution #217 “Condemn The Black Hawks” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
Identifying the basis for SC#217 as a second warning to the world on the danger of the Black Hawks, a raider organization renowned not for its destructive capability, feats, or daring, but rather its longevity, a byproduct of historical mediocrity and operational reticence,
Noting that SC#217 only highlights these qualities of the Black Hawks, showcasing largely mediocre and minimally impactful operations headed by the supposedly feared raiding force, while the rest of the resolution leans on support for others’ achievements and the condemnation of individuals who, at one time or another, invoked notoriety for feats largely unrelated to the Black Hawks including:
- Condemn Gest (SC#122), which mentions the Black Hawks in passing in one clause, and whose nominee was not heavily involved in the region’s exploits,
- Condemn Milograd (SC#77 and SC#97), which does not mention the Black Hawks whatsoever and whose despicable deeds, while enabled by the raider organization, could hardly be said to be wholly facilitated by them,
- Condemn General Halcones (SC#165), which also does not mention the Black Hawks, referring only to their membership in a different region,
- Noting that even if these condemnations drew weight to the Black Hawks’ name (which would be dubious, considering the devastation wreaked by these nations can hardly be attributed to the region itself), several of the mentioned Condemnations have since been repealed without replacement,
Further pointing out that the “Support” and “Successful” clauses, which highlight determinedly dreadful deeds by bad actors, specifically refer to efforts either only supported by the Black Hawks, as with the 2013 coup d’etat of the South Pacific, or not even involving them as a region, as with the individual infiltration of Osiris, an operation conducted by one nation, not by the larger group and thus not accreditable to them,
Examining further SC#217’s claim that the Black Hawks have built a foundation for the argument that they should be the “most feared raider organization” in the world, with attention paid to the fact that the major evidence for this claim are weak – including:
- the “Toppling” subclause, which refers to delegacy streak breaks – a largely inconsequential form of raid – on regions listed that have relatively weak defenses, making this feat not nearly as weighty nor as difficult as the resolution makes it out to be,
- the “The Black Hawks” subclause, which refers to a standard Security Council practice both before and after SC#217’s passage to protect regions via Liberation passage, a response invoked by raider regions both large and small in contexts more dependent on the target than the raiding party’s efforts,
- the “Invasions’ subclause, which points to regions like Hell, Canada, and Portugal, all of which have easily withstood the test of raider occupations and outlived any damage dealt by the Black Hawks’ efforts,
Expounding the fact that SC#217 fails to deliver on the argument that the Black Hawks’ actions are anywhere close to a level of severity deserving of interregional Condemnation, only bringing forth examples of tepid involvement in others’ misadventures or relatively unmemorable strikes that lack even basic detail into operational consequences, likely due to their relatively routine nature in cyclical military activity in Nationstates – an apt description of the Black Hawks themselves, whose organization has hardly ever distinguished itself from a bug on the windshield wiper of history, never rising above the shadows of its contemporary raider peers,
Affirming that greater evidence, stronger proof, and a far more solid argument is necessary to warrant the ringing of interregional alarm bells, given that the existing resolutions fail to stand both against the test of time and of scrutiny,
Congratulating the Black Hawks for their continued persistence in the face of long-lived mediocrity,
Hereby repeals SC#217: “Condemn the Black Hawks”
