Meta Narrative Takes

Just reading peoples views on the various large narratives ongoing at the moment (ukraine, russia, injections, covid, party politics, economics) and its full of bitter division and hatred.

In relation to the insane war going on in russia/ukraine many ppls takes are just endorsing mass violence. You hardly hear the word "peace/diplomacy". Has it always been this way......probably so

And how would you propose to further the "peace/diplomacy" narrative , considering that the recent annexation and Ukraine's response to it make it perfectly clear that both are off the table , at least in the short term ?

@RodionRomanovitch peace always requires compromise - in this case the only acceptable compromise is on the part of Russia to back off and retreat. The idea of peace at any cost is ridiculous notion and generally only advanced by people without much knowledge as to what is going on.

@CheekyBadger Yep , this war will be decided on the battlefield. There are no scenarios imaginable where the two leaders would negotiate.
