Practice Debate 2: U.S. As World Police Policy Debate
This House: The United States Federal Government Should Act as the World’s Police Force
Police Force is defined as military intervention, authority over other sovereign nations, dominating SUPRA National Military Organizations such as NATO, UN Security Council, etc.
Should is defined as “Used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness” by Oxford Dictionary.
Obligation is defined as “The condition of being morally or legally bound to do something” by Oxford Dictionary.
Moral is defined as “action that produces the most good” by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The philosophy that backs up this claim in that of Utilitarianism, made popular, by John Stuart Mill. Utilitarianism should

acts as a police force? To answer that, look to the historical record. Take the Korean War for example. The Korean War began on June 25, 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea and the U.S. had joined in the fighting by July. Over the course of the war, 406,000 North Korean soldiers died, 217,000 South Korean soldiers died, and 36,568 U.S. soldiers died. Today, South Korea has a population of 50,924,172 people and a PPP/capita of $36,500, making it 48th in the World. This means it’s a growing country in a good financial position. North Korea has a population of 25,115,311 people and a PPP/capita of $1,800. North Korea is doing much worse financially, and the people have very little freedom or autonomy. If the U.S. had not intervened, more people would have died in the war and North Korea’s economic and political reign would have affected South Korea as well. 50,924,172 lives would be completely different, and a majority probably would not even exist if not for U.S. interventionism. If my opponent would like to argue that the Korean War was fought by the UN not the U.S., I would just like to point out that 90% of non-Korean troops sent to South Korea were U.S.
