Bronx 1ACTournament: Bronx | Round: 1 | Opponent: Edgemont JN | Judge: Dikshant Malla Plan: The United States federal government should substantially increase joint oil cooperation toward Cuba. Relations Contention 1 is Relations US-Cuban relations virtually non-existent because of embargo and travel restrictions. They are virtually nonexistent Plan solves - Cooperative US-Cuba drilling for oil is powerful incentive for improved relations. Deep in the Gulf of Mexico, an end to the 1962 U.S. trade embargo against Cuba Cooperative drilling is critical for relations – energy has strategic significance for both countries The search for oil in Cuba’s US-Cuban oil coop key to check existing US-Latin American tensions. deepening collaborative modalities with other regional partners is enhanced by Now a key time for US-Latin American ties. Permanent collapse coming. If the United States and Latin America do not make the effort now Cuba is key to US-Latin American Relations. Specifically spills-over to global coop on nuclear material transfers. Cuba, too, poses a significant challenge for relations between the United States Nuclear terrorism escalates to major nuclear war. Global coop on material transfers is key. two nuclear worlds—a non-state actor nuclear attack and China Contention 2 is China Now is key – China is shoring up influence in Cuba Relations between the United States and Cuba have been stuck since the United States imposed Cooperative drilling boosts U.S. stature and influence in Latin America and prevents Chinese expansion Given that there are no formal diplomatic of economic relations between the governments of the Plan solves Chinese influence Focused on military operations in the Middle East, nuclear threats in Iran and North China’s influence is zero-sum- plan solve Chinese influence To be sure, China may not have a purposeful plan to bring their trade Chinese influence in Latin America causes Taiwan war China’s goals in the region amount to more than the capture of natural Taiwan is uniquely likely to escalate to nuclear war – risk of miscommunication and misunderstanding is high Taiwan is the most likely potential crisis that could trigger a nuclear war Spills Contention 3 is Spills Cuban oil drilling inevitable. The embargo only locks-out US safety experts. an energy-poor Cuba also has its risks. Embargo fails and stops pro-active approach to spills. Repsol will start drilling for oil off the coast of Cuba Absent pro-active steps, accidents are inevitable. US experts key. The 50-year-old U.S. embargo of Cuba is getting in the way of safety when it Aff boosts reaction time. US Experts solve best. Remember the BP spill? Spill spreads and kills ecosystems. That’s key to regional biodiversity. Cuba’s access to containment systems Biodiversity in specific hotspots checks extinction. Key to ag, medicine, and ecosystems Extinction is the gravest consequence of the biodiversity crisis, since it is Caribbean is one such hotspot. The Caribbean Islands Hotspot is one of the world’s greatest Independently, another major spill would crush the US economy the results Avoiding US economic decline key to global economy. North America is Global economic decline causes nuclear war global chaos followed hard on economic collapse. Solvency Contention 4 is Solvency Cuba says yes. This spills-into broader coop. the opportunity to advance relations in US expertise and proximity are key to halting Cuban oil spills To respond effectively to an oil-related marine accident, Plan is effective, topical, and US firms would say “yes”. There are numerous areas in the energy sector in which the US oil companies say yes- already advocating an end to oil prohibitions increasing expectations on large offshore oil reserves have lured foreign oil | 10/21/13 |
