Country just got told they’re going to get bombed into the stone age “where they belong”.
A coalition of 40 countries then tries to convince them to let go off of the most powerful leverage they have. Because… reasons.
You guys realize this is existential for them right? Your genocidal best buddy just promised to beat them to death and they’re using anything they can to survive. Your approach is to walk up to them and say “hey I know you’re busy getting blown off the face of the Earth but can you really stop doing this one thing that may create enough global economic hardship to end your annihilation? It’s really incoveniencing the rest of us”
Ashamed to say several countries I’m fond of are on this list. What possible leverage could any of these countries have, even collectively, on a nation that has been assured destruction? Iran is obviously going to tell them all to go talk to their king (Trump/Netanyahu) if they want the strait open.
What a laughable scenario to attempt diplomacy in. Looking forward to another financial meltdown due to global inflation. These are our world leaders. Fuck.
We live in a clown world.
