And yet only one belligerent invaded the other. There aren't two sides to this.

I am not denying the Russian invasion is unlawful. Reread what I wrote. You are proving my point.

Calling for diplomacy in a war of aggression where the aggressor has claimed annexation of the defender's territory means... what?

What is there to negotiate?

[beebmam]

The US is regularly engaged in diplomacy with Russia. Our secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chiefs just met with their Russian counterparts.

Diplomacy is happening. That doesn't mean peace can be negotiated yet. Unless the commenter thinks Ukraine should surrender, it is unlikely peace is going to be realistic anytime soon.

[pessimizer]

You're all for diplomacy, except during wars.

Ok, I re-read it. It was just as violently stupid the second time around.

"Diplomacy" doesn't mean "I break into your house and agree to take only 10% of your stuff if you don't fight back." And when the cops show up, that's not a "proxy war."

Are you referring to the US invasion of Iraq or the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It's impossible to tell the difference anymore.
