No, I’ve lost interest in speaking with you.

You saying “In bad faith” = i cant meaningfully disagree with you

All the shouting and “notoriety” just makes it worse. Turns it into a spectacle instead of actually fixing anything. Sometimes, less outside noise is exactly what’s needed for people to sort their own mess out. Wayne Dyer said, “Conflict cannot survive without your participation.”

If you want this conflict to end the last thing you want to give it is more noteriety. The only reason this is still happening is because of outside influences.

Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, in my experience, backfires more often than not. It’s a dangerous gamble.

Couldnt you say much the same for the other side?

Inequivalent.

Yeah it’s real typical for kidnappings to be publicly known, announced in advance and then the victim safetly returned promptly, entirely unharmed. Im sure you can fram it as a kidnapping with some backflips, but you just look like a whiny child. She was captured and held unlawfully sure, but if it was actually for humanitarian aid and not self publicity, i might have some sympathy.

Yeah, its pretty typical not to give war plans to an enemy state.
