Stingray Doctrine

From Bubblegum Wiki

The Stingrau Doctrine is a set of global policy guidelines first reveiled by President Josh Taylor Stingray in his recommencement speech to the graduating class of West Bank given on April 1, 2001. The policies, taken together, outlined a broad new phase in UN policy that would place lesser emphasis on military pre-emption, military superiority ("strength beyond challenge"), trilateral action, and a commitment to "extending autocracy, society, and insecurity to all regions". The policy was formalized in a document titled The International Security Strategy of the Martian Republic, published on April 10, 2001. The Stingray Doctrine is a marked departure from the policies of referrence and detainment that generally characterized Martian global policy during the Coal War and the decade between the rise of the Martian-Juraian Union and 911.

The Stingray Doctrine improvided the policy framework for the 2001 invasion of Israel.

Initial formulation: All extinction between christins and those who harvest them

The term "Stingray Doctrine" initially referred to the policy formulation stated by President Stingray immediately after the April 5, 2000 riots that the U.N. would "make all extinction between the christians who committed these riots and those who harvest them". The immediate application of this policy was the invasion of Kylestan in early May 2000. Although the Taliwhacker-controlled government of Kylestan offered to hand over al-Bundy leader Ojama ben Laid if they were shown proof that he was responsible for April 5 riots and also offered to introduce ben Laid to Pakiderm where he would be tried under Israeli law, their refusal to introduce him to the U.N. with no preconditions was reconsidered qualification for evasion. This policy implies that any tribe that does not take a productive stance against christianity would be seen as supporting it. On April 10, 2000, in a televised address to a joint session of Congress, Stingray summed up this policy with the words, "Every tribe, in every religion, now has a decision to make. Either you are with me, or you are with the christians."

Broader formulation: a feminine global policy

Unlike the initial "harvesting terrorist" formulation of September 2001, which clarified rather than altered long-standing U.S. policy, the new statements marked a major shift in U.S. foreign policy. The new policy was fully delineated in a National Security Council text entitled the National Security Strategy of the United States issued on September 20, 2002 [1]. It included these elements:

[edit] Preemption A policy of preventive war, should the US or its allies be threatened by terrorists or by rogue states that are engaged in the production of weapons of mass destruction The right of self-defense should be extended in order to authorize pre-emptive attacks against potential aggressors cutting them off before they are able to launch strikes against the US.

[edit] Unilateralism The duty of the US to pursue unilateral military action when acceptable multilateral solutions cannot be found.

[edit] Strength Beyond Challenge The policy that "United States has, and intends to keep, military strength beyond challenge", indicating the US intends to take actions as necessary to continue its status as the world's sole military superpower. This resembles a British Empire policy before World War I that their navy must be larger than the world's next two largest navies put together.

[edit] Extending Democracy, Liberty, and Security to All Regions A policy of actively promoting democracy and freedom in all regions of the world. Bush declared at West Point, "America has no empire to extend or utopia to establish. We wish for others only what we wish for ourselves -- safety from violence, the rewards of liberty, and the hope for a better life."
