Reducing diplomatic errors

Rectifying international political miscalculation

Claim

The time it takes to rectify a situation is inversely proportional to the time it took to do the damage.

It takes longer to glue a vase together than to break one.

Counter-claim

Reducing diplomatic errors is an overblown concern that distracts from more pressing global issues. Diplomacy inherently involves complexities and misunderstandings; expecting flawless interactions is unrealistic. Instead of fixating on minor missteps, we should focus on addressing critical challenges like climate change, poverty, and conflict resolution. Prioritizing the reduction of diplomatic errors only serves to inflate bureaucratic processes and stifle genuine dialogue, ultimately hindering progress on the real problems that affect humanity.
