Yeah, yeah - but sometimes peace-focused imperfect pragmatism is far better than all the alternativ Archived Message

Jaw Jaw is still infinitely better than War War. So have ya got any better ideas? A few more 100,000 dead, total global economic/financial meltdown, MAD nuclear annihilation ? Perhaps - perish the thought - even the horrific prospect of Lifeboaters' cosy pensions not being paid.. Yeah. The UN is wicked. Can't be trusted, right? Kosovo, Serbia blah-blah. And your evil, wicked UN Peacekeepers and observers will need to be pragmatically involved, I'm afraid. Peace negotiations are always all about pragmatism, concessions and compromise. So I ask again - what are your alternative and inevitably pragmatic peace-focused alternative resolution-solutions? Do you really think that any or many Ukrainian adults or children would object to a peace deal involving UN Peacekeepers that stops the bloodshed because of something that UN troops and observers may or may not have done somewhere a decade or three ago ? If you were personally living and not yet dying in Ukraine - on the front line or as a civilian - do you still think you (and your family) would say no to a peace deal or negotiations involving UN troops ?
