Welcome back to another thrilling episode of our debate series! In Episode 9, we dive deep into the quarterfinal topic for NPDA, and let me tell you, it's a doozy. Picture this: you're on the affirmative, you've won five out of your eight preliminary rounds, made it through dubs and oxs, and now you're in quarterfinals, eyeing that break into sims. But then comes the topic: "The Islamic Republic of Iran should significantly increase its nuclear arsenal." Yeah, talk about a tough one!
In this episode, we dissect the affirmative and negative strategies for this contentious topic. We'll explore the challenges of affirming such a proposition, the potential arguments for and against it, and how teams navigated through this complex debate. Spoiler alert: it was a tough ride, and most affirmative teams found themselves struggling to stay afloat.
But fear not, we're here to break it all down for you. From balancing power dynamics to negotiating leverage, we'll uncover the nuanced arguments and strategies used by debaters on both sides. And of course, we'll sprinkle in some lighthearted banter and stadium tales from our alma maters.
