Japan 1. Japan Re-Armament is good 2. Going the Opposite Direction - Japan Re-arm Bad 3. We can 20k marines in Okinawa - ONly need about 5k there - 15k - these would be re-deployed - it answers a major DA on the topic - Yesterday - Marines are currently we need more - where they would go - strong potential advantage to answer CP's 4. Environment Advantage - 5. Alliance advantge - alliance is good 6. Japan Politics - Good for the Aff - Kan needs the US to get out of Okinawa he's trying to stick the current base relocation - got the last leader to resign - he really needs to get some tax reform policy - consumption tax increase al sorts of global institutions are saying if that doesn't happen - the Japan ecnoomy wil lhead strait to the pooper - because of Kan is weak bec. of the US military Presence - Doing this is key to get his economic reforms

Afghanistan 1. Advantage banned eradication - but not interdiction - a lot of cards - undermines the counter-inrusgency - causes all the growth to vertically integrate 2. 90% of their revenue from opium 3. Counter-Insurgency advantage - By taking counter-narcotics and removing the interdiciton, the reason its happening is because it would hurt, you go two ways - rural development, it would undermine - Plan, made sure and stop interdiciton, would be really sweet - start buying opium - pharma - best solvency mechanism 4. starting buying who don't farm opium -= a lot of other things not same type of seeds, can still get money for it 5. alternative crops, but still need, the transition time at the beginning, and buy them right away, they need other countries to provide vouchers 6. pull out of counter-narcotic - mainly eradication - alternative, just part of the USAID which would be effected by the US pulling out - 7. environment - afghanistan 8. Afghanistan government is very bad - not effective at all - they need to figure out a solution and there is stuff 9. Interdiction is strengthening the talbian 10. Training forces - Big reason why these person 11. IF the US pullout - they couldn't keep it up themselves 12. Interdiction only going against and working for the government 13. Police presence - There is a lot of stuff - Afghani police force and they aren't helpful 14. Interdiction a huge chunk of the police presence in Afghanistan - Not a lot of our other operations are truly police operations 15. Pakistan - on the off chane that they decrase would be offset to afghanistan - More Drug production - decrease in afghanistan the world wide demand would be offset and Afghanstain - Warloads - More insurgents dig it 16. Never make a serious dent - you still have a whole bunch of people that are pissed off - no long term change 17. interdiction trades off - the plan results in alternative development 18.

Answering DA’s Aff

1. Smartness Is Important – Most, if not all, DA’s are lies – there are overwhelming wholes in Them - The Politics DA – Why does decreasing some political capital kill all capital - Why would their be voting switching - Why Would It Effect this agenda item and not the others in a similar area - Why isn’t he spending his capital in other areas? The Deterrence/Red Spread/China Agression DA - Why does Reducing Troops in one area perceived as weakness Globally - Haven’t we changed deployment patterns Generally? Asia Troops to the Middle East, Not giving every allie exactly the military technology they want - Why didn’t withdrawal from Vietnam cause every impact – isn’t domino theory disproven - Why are all nations automatically Offensive and not defense - Qualifications question

2. Diversity of Arguments in the 2AC, less 1AR, Less 2AR - Just Turning runs into problems – Unique cards and Link turn cards means the block just unloads on you, ditto for impact turns against teams that are ready - There are always sooooo many problems with a DA you need to make a number of Args A. Issue Spec Uniqueness B. Link Uniqueness C. General Links claims D. Internal Link Turns E. The Impact Questions - 2AC can make these arguments quick – don’t need cards for everything - 1AR picks a little more, can’t extend all, but some - Us Their arg’s agains them on Issues you aren’t extending ‘They read generic link cards very good, non-Unique” – They Read lots of issue spec cards but have other internal link claims -2AR Needs to Pick more

3. Different Affs Mean Different Approaches

Small Aff’s – The link is always general, the Link Uniqueness Is Usually Fucked, and their isn’t a good card about the aff

Big Aff’s – Their impact is always inevitable unless you do the Aff – Japan Relations A. Key to the East Asian Economy/Global Economy B. Key to Hegemony C. Key to US Softpower in the region – Democracy, Trade, Etc. D. Key to US Diplomatic Efforts E. Key to Stop Sino-Japan Confrontation – solves Warming Iraq – Iraq Civil War Tanks Oil – Economy Iraq-Iran Relations Stops Prolif, Terrorism, Iran-US War Solves Overstreach – Econ Solves Heg – Every fucking impact Solves Democracy Don’t Go to war

Thus, the 2ar is trying to “Resolve” not always “Solve” – Their impacts are always going to happen, no matter what, and only the aff solves them – core shit Find a card for every major impact You still debate DA, but you have a framing Device in Every 2AR

K Aff- You Need to both A. Say the DA is dumb and take out the arguments for Any Number of reasons – AND B Read a Critique of them DA – Important shit C. Determine Impact Framing –

4. Point out areas where they are missing a cards and Demand they read one Politics Obviously Econ Impact 1. No Ev on why Controvercy drains political capital 2. No Ev on Why it would destroy all political capital – whats the treshold for how much to loose 3. No Even on Why Us Economy Key to Global Economy 4. Just came out of a recession – Proves Empiracly Denied 5. Many cards say Obama’s needs to push, not that he needs the clout

5. Case Outweighs 1. Yes Probable and Timeframe and Magnitude A. Why does your impact interact with their impact? – Maybe solves It B. Thus, always Answers turns the case
