A ti bi da malo ratujes, ali da drugi ode da puca umesto tebe i tvoje porodice?
A ti bi malo mogao da prestanes da u moja usta stavljas reci koje nisam rekao... :)

Da bi jedna zemlja imala normalan status, a ne status izbljuvka, postoje i druge metode (osim krajnje opcije, tj. ratovanja). Primer je veci deo zemaljske kugle, koji konstantno vaga i pravi sporazume i saveze, kao i odlucije kojoj grupaciji ce da se pridruzi... ali kad ti predsednik drzave kaze "nema alternative", onda nemoj nista ni da ocekujes. Kakva je to "diplomatija" kod koje "nema alternative"? ... znaci mi cemo "ostro da protestvujemo", ali cemo zato "bez alternative" da idemo u jednom te istom pravcu - tj. bez obzira na sve... dobar je to sistem, ekspertski.

Diplomatic strategy
Real world diplomatic negotiations are very different from intellectual debates in a university where an issue is decided on the merit of the arguments and negotiators make a deal by splitting the difference. Though diplomatic agreements can sometimes be reached among liberal democratic nations by appealing to higher principles, most real world diplomacy has traditionally been heavily influenced by hard power.
The interaction of strength and diplomacy can be illustrated by a comparison to labor negotiations. If a labor union is not willing to strike, then the union is not going anywhere because management has absolutely no incentive to agree to union demands. On the other hand, if management is not willing to take a strike, then the company will be walked all over by the labor union, and management will be forced to agree to any demand the union makes. The same concept applies to diplomatic negotiations.
There are also incentives in diplomacy to act reasonably, especially if the support of other actors is needed. The gain from winning one negotiation can be much less than the increased hostility from other parts. This is also called soft power.
Many situations in modern diplomacy are also rules based. When for instance two WTO countries have trade disputes, it is in the interest of both to limit the spill over damage to other areas by following some agreed-upon rules.
