Hypersonic missiles are a new form of missile which are capable of traveling far faster than any conventional, existing missile system. They carry non-nuclear payloads and are launched into low orbit and travel at several times the speed of sound. They cannot be detected in a sufficient amount of time to be disabled by any known, existing, missile defense system

Motion: THBT the development of hypersonic missiles has done more harm than good

The IMF, International Monetary Fund, is an international financial body, largely run in the interest of Western Nations, that sponsors development of low-income economies and broad financial management.

Motion: THBT the IMF, while giving out loans, should not hold national assets as collateral for nations with a history of corruption
