Diplomacy is for losers.
Diplomacy implies compromise. Compromising our rights and principles is what brought us to the point we are at now.
Diplomacy ? I'll go to the meeting, but I'm bringing my ROPE. 
I didn't say compromise, I meant talk. When no one agrees with me, force is the next option. My idea of diplomacy is letting people know what will happen if they don't do what I want.
