@Helgi The best Western leaders could do is to state something like this: "We are not looking for peace with you, but we might agree to a ceasefire to regroup and be better prepared for your attacks",— that would annoy the fuck out of Kremlin officials and their supporters everywhere. Unfortunately, it looks like political willpower to do that is nowhere to be found.
Some might think that it's undiplomatic,but is listening to lies knowing that they are lies and pretending they aren't diplomatic?
