That's an intellectually dishonest argument.

Everybody wants peace. Peace is a good thing. But what most people agree on is that you don't give an autocrat anything they want just for the promise of peace. Most people remember that lesson from 1938.

You are just arguing methods, I am arguing absolutes. I have no idea what the best way to achieve peace on an international scale, so my argument is pure because I don't pretend to know.
You're arguing in defense of Musk's proposed peace, others are arguing that his suggestion was not peace, but rather appeasement.

We generally know how Chamberlain's whole deal turned out.

All conflict is resolved by appeasement, read up on history. Germany could have kept fighting to the last man, but eventually they appeased the allies in WWII.

All war ends in appeasement.
