People who say violence achieves nothing are living in a moral dream word.

If it truly wasn’t an effective action, human history modern society would not be what it is.

You don’t have to like it, but it’s there all the same.

Violence very rarely achieves something that diplomacy couldn't.

Well I think the US really tried diplomacy with putting sanctions on Russia and we all saw how that worked.

Starve em out@SW-User

@SW-User I think the sanctions imposed by the EU/UN/NATO have worked very well - Russia is weak, it is losing funds to support a war effort whilst struggling to muster support elsewhere, and Putin is being forced to the table for diplomatic conversations with Zelenskyy.

If we can resolve Ukraine without any NATO countries having to send troops in, that could only be considered an overwhelming success.

@SW-User I’m absolutely in agreement - I was surprised at the efficacy of the sanctions tbh.

It looked like a slap on the hand but damn if it didn’t work
