Mister Secretary General, fellow delegates, ladies and gentlemen,
You all know that one topic has been dear to me during my entire political career: addressing the threat of nuclear weapons, here on Earth and out there in space. The history of nuclear disarmement is a glorious one, but it is incomplete. Since SALT 7 limited the number of deployed warhead to 360 per country 20 years ago, no further progress has been made. Indeed, for many it has become accepted wisdom that no further reduction is possible. With three powers in equilibrium, any two power neogitating a reduction would find themselves vulnerable.
However, in this field as in many other, transnewtonics threaten to upset the statu quo. Trans-newtonions weapons will make conventional deterrants obsolete. If we do not act now, a trans-newtonian arms race, and its potentially deadly consequences are inevitable.
Today, I, in the name of the North American Union government, will act to prevent such a future. As I speak, senior engineers at DARPA are putting the final touches to a brand new weapon, quite unlike anything that was ever fielded. The so-called "meson cannon" can penetrate any shielding known to man. It can target moving moving object such as ICBMs across hundred of km of athmosphere.
The meson cannon is exactly the kind of weapon that could break the current armament statu quo. And we intend to use it to achieve disarmament.
As of this moment, the Russian Confederation has twenty-four hours* to evacuate and destroy its ICBMs bases. After that deadline, we will destroy any ICBM silo still standing. Once that is done, we will enter negotiations with the FSA about removing and destroying Earth's last nukes.
In order to ensure that the Russian confederation does not recreate a nuclear capability in secret, we also demand that NAU and FSA observers be allowed aboard the Russian military yard in orbit and in Russian industry. If this demand is not met, we will turn the Meson Cannon toward the Russian orbital yards.
One day is a short time, so I won't be taking questions right now. I will retire to the NAU Delegation's office to await confirmation that our demands have been met.
* Game time of course. You can take a couple IRL days to respond
