Description

This pro case argues that force can be justified when authoritarian leaders create serious threats, peaceful tools fail, and removal offers a better chance of protecting liberty, security, and democratic possibility. Built around Walker’s pragmatic liberal-internationalist lens, the case avoids reckless idealism while still refusing to excuse tyranny. It is especially strong for teams that want to weigh moral responsibility against real-world consequences, making it easy to collapse on magnitude, probability, and the failure of nonviolent alternatives.
