Now i am not one who knows much about "diplomacy", but the way i look at things--now that the United States is talking with China again--is Xi Jinping has probably absorbed the reality of globanomics (and China's current position within the glomanomic framework).

-----

With that understanding Xi has a choice to make.  Either jump on the bandwagon of globanomics, or try to defy its reality.  If he chooses the first option, China will continue to grow like it has in the past fifty-years and it will be a player within globanomics, itself.  If Xi chooses the latter option, thirty years from now China's economy will look like Russia's economy today.

Now between the two options, i think Xi only has one legitimate choice.  To make nice and support disarmament--good for the world, good for China, good for everyone.

------

So, if Xi has reached this point in his decision making, then i think we should ask him to tell his good (probably ex) buddy to get the hell out of Ukraine and to "also put your weapons down".  And there are all kinds of ways, Xi can use to put the pressure on Vladimir.  Do that now, and Xi might earn China a few bonus points when it comes to dealing out the World Peace Premium.

------

Technology is at the point one leader can call up another leader almost at any time and get a response--especially if it is "important enough".

-------

I will give Diplomacy the next few months to negotiate World Peace, but after that I will not promise anything--except continued world turmoil and tension. But in the meantime, i sure as to heck don't expect to see continued aggression of any kind on the part of Russia.  And if i do, i would start shaving points off China's share of the World Peace Premium.

So, let's get it done.
