In a world where technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, we stand at the threshold of the Artificial Intelligence Age. Reflecting on human history, from the Iron Age to our current era, raises an important question: Were we to be judged by this new age of machines, would we be seen as rational and intelligent beings, or merely as unreasonable creatures driven by primal instincts? As Artificial Intelligence grows, shaping our future, our actions today matter more than ever.

Diplomatic relations must be prioritized over military escalation. Putting diplomacy first is not just a testament to human intelligence but a commitment to a more rational and peaceful existence. Countless times in history, the world has suffered the consequences of military actions. We have learned that war often breeds more conflict, leading to loss of life, increased geopolitical tensions, and economic hardship for all nations.

Currently, the global military expenditure exceeds $1.92 trillion annually as reported by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, highlighting the staggering amount we invest in war rather than peace. We have an opportunity to redirect our course towards global harmony, leveraging our shared intelligence and resources.

A ‘Diplomacy First’ law would mandate rigorous diplomatic negotiations and conflict resolutions before military engagement. Imagine a world where dialogue triumphs over force, where agreements are reached without the cost of human lives, and nations strive to understand rather than overpower one another.

We call upon Congress to stand at the forefront of this movement, to lead by example and enact legislation that ensures diplomacy is always a representation voting majority of three quarters required before possible military action. This is proving that humanity can rise to the occasion, fostering peace guided by intelligence.

Your signature can shift our trajectory towards a more diplomatic world, one where human history is defined by our ability to decide to choose peace over war. Sign this petition to urge Congress to pass a ‘Diplomacy First’ law and pave the way for a more intelligent and humane society for all our futures. 

Should we create a voting committee for each governor of each state for each foreign affair now, as for the USA.

More diplomacy is less engagement of force.
