I hope you do realize you've been smoking at the proverbial gas station for 30 years now?
The first step when you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging. Too late for that now, I have to admit.
- rvnx 4y agoI'm not sure I understand (litterally, without being sarcastic or something). You mean that the point of no return is already passed and that there is no reason to try to calm down things using diplomacy and cooperation, that it's purely on a power level that there is the solution ?
- thriftwy 4y agoAre the China-embarrassing state visits to Taiwan an example of diplomacy and cooperation? That kind of cooperation and diplomacy is called coercion and incitement. The problem is, China and India have grown up now and they are going to behave like adults. And how do adult role models behave in the century XXI? Afghanistan, Lybia, Iraq, that's how.
