Hi,
"We may not declare war upon
any human being, anywhere, until we first sue for peace. This applies both to 'authorized
wars' and 'obligatory wars,' as it is written, 'And when you come close to a
city to fight against it, call to it for peace.' Should they make peace and
accept the laws in which Noachides are instructed, we would not kill anyone
there. We would collect taxes, as it is written, 'They will pay tribute to you,
and they will serve you.'"
(Rambam, Hilchot Melachim 6:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
