No, the premise of the conversation is "sleepwalking towards war". Sleepwalking involves doing things that you're not aware you're doing, which could have dire consequences. The alternative is to wake up and be conscious of moving things in the right direction.
Sensible positions worth holding are valid contributions to conversations.
- llamaimperative 2y agoOkay then we can conclude here: everyone agrees that we should avoid sleepwalking into war. Fruitful! Highly informative as to what decisions need to be made henceforth.
