Pros:
-
Arg 7: Russia’s Influence (can be expanded to china)
-
Uniqueness - Russia is attempting to increase relations in West Asia
-
Link - an increase of diplomatic efforts will improve governance, prevent Russia from swaying countries or controlling them
-
Impact - mitigates authoritarianism and hurts Russia helping Ukraine
-
Summary - the US should increase diplomatic efforts as Russia’s involvement could lead to Russian control of countries in West Asia. The US getting involved hurts Russia and prevents this control. This is good because less authoritarianism and helps Ukraine

-
Arg 5: Armenia and Azerbaijan (Democracy in general)
-
Uniqueness - The US is “deeply engaged in helping Armenia and Azerbaijan work toward a comprehensive peace agreement.”
-
Link - This is working showing how diplomatic efforts in West Asia can be very beneficial
-
Impact - This is a clear example of why the US should increase diplomatic efforts as they did here and it led to good progress
-
Summary - The US should increase diplomatic efforts in west Asia to resolve conflict peacefully because we see it working in Armenia and Azerbaijan and it could work in a very similar fashion in other places.

Cons:
-
Argument 3: Department Overstretch
-
Uniqueness - The United States’ state department is underfunded, understaffed and undertrained.
-
Link - Attempting to diplomatically resolve conflicts would stretch the department out too thin and leave efforts ineffective and harmful
-
Impact - Overstretching the state department will hurt diplomacy and will hurt relations with allies
-
Summary & Card Card Card - The State department, which handles almost all of the Diplomacy in the United States, is very underfunded and understaffed.

-
Argument 6: Prolonging Arguments
-
Uniqueness - Most conflicts are de-escalating after the pulling out of the United States in those regions.
-
Link - Increasing diplomatic efforts in Asia will embolden countries to believe that the United States will always step in and solve their problems.
-
Impact - Ending the conflicts will save lives and improve the global economy (be careful with this, possibly hypothetical and we may get attacked for it)
-
Summary & Card - The pulling out from the United States from conflicts in West Asia often leads them to de-escalate on their own and moving in to increase diplomatic efforts will make the armed conflicts worse and lead to more instability in the region. If the United States does not move forward with its diplomatic efforts, countless lives will be saved.
