I get your point that summits are crucial, but remember that diplomacy isn’t just about meetings—it also involves behind-the-scenes negotiations. Sometimes pulling out of a public summit might be a strategic move rather than a sign of failure. Still, it’s definitely worrying when leaders hesitate to meet; it can stall progress toward peace.

Yeah, it’s frustrating. The sanctions seem to just push oil prices higher, which hurts us more than Russia. And with India not confirming any reductions, it feels like the whole plan is kinda falling apart. Wonder if there’s a better way to handle this without screwing our own economy.

You’re right, the regular investors always seem to be the last ones considered when it comes to these political power plays. Sanctions and threats only spook the markets more. If peace is really the goal, then dialogue and negotiation should take precedence over more punitive measures.
