Eight decades without World War III.Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.
80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again. -

But maybe that's also the reason we ignore the suffering caused by war as no one is around anymore telling you stories about how it was 80 years ago.

Dialogue only works if both parts agree.

Talks and dialogue should go hand in hand with consequence and it feels like we lack that currently

I had to read it twice but it is correct. The important word is "without".

Yeah, “complicated”. Everyone gets a seat at the table and they're told to shut up.See the illegal blockade of Cuba for the crime not bending to the will of the US.
See Russia still having the front row seat.
See the USA bombing, kidnapping and supporting terrorism wherever they want.
See Israel still doing genocide.
See the rise of fascism which doesn't want dialogue, but blood.

Today, we must choose it again.@EUCommission The problem is that dialogue requires two parties willing to engage in it, where violence needs only one. If one party chooses violence, then it is a mistake to expect dialogue to end it. Violence only ends when it becomes too costly compared to its rewards.

“Stoicism teaches us not to fear challenges, but to meet them with clarity and resolve” - mistress leyen.
And what big problems did you resolved with your "stoicism" - Ukraine war? No.
Trump will invade Greenland. No, you will not resolve this problem with your "stoicism".
Because you showed weakness (your mistress " stoicism") instead of power. You only risk 450 million human life with your "stoicism".
Good job.

@lordkhan @EUCommission ex-Yugoslavia disagree with your "80 years of peace"
