In geopolitics, strongly worded letters (That is, diplomacy) is how most shit gets done. You want them to walk up to the podium and fight the thug? Shit aint as simple, or black&white as being able to do what they can. If they piss off the US they get bitch slap with toddler tariffs, as long as the biggest bullies in the yard hold the stick its really, really fucking hard for the normal sane people to actually do stuff. It’s not like the US has warhawks in office or anything though, so other countries without much political pull should do more…
Yes shit sucks, yes it could be better, and im very sure that the people in power (who actually want to) would be doing more if they could. Its not virtue signalling, its not kayfabe, its not performative. Its diplomacy. Its the difference between two teenagers throwing hands at a disagreement and two adults talking civil and constuctive. Want more to be done, help take the stick away from the bullies.
What exactly would you have them do?
