On the war in Ukraine we're mad not to use the tools of diplomacy to try to end the war. I'm sure that you want to jump the gun on me now and tell me that I'm a Russian stooge etc. Heck, I'm not even using the dreadful words of negotiation and peace here. No, what I'm saying yet again is why not try to stop the war? Putin will not fall this year or the next, and by the time he does we'll all be really out of pocket money. Now don't expect Europe to fund the reconstruction because something like that always comes after the above mentioned usage of the tools of diplomacy. Jaw, jaw is always better than war, war, remember that Churchill saying? Heck, we're all coming out of a pandemic and we're still funding a war instead of ending one. Utter madness!
PS I'm sorry that I've left some of the discussions on faith unaswered as yet on here. It was because of ill health. I'll try to bring those to the front too next. But lets move to this one yet again first

please explain to me just how you see this diplomacy working... in full detail, no cliches, no pious statements about peace.
who will negotiate? where? who will guarantee the negotiations? who will offer what? and in exchange for what? how long will it take?
you know the sort of things we need to hear. you have obviously exercised your brain to its outer limits to draw up your original post. you must be able to find some answers in there.
@Yulianna Try, try, try again to stop the war by diplomatic means. It's simple, but don't take my word for it. Take Bosnia in the past. Yes, the war will last that long too. Better prepare yourself to the disappointment
