doesn't matter there's no credibility in asking one to pay for the war and another doing SFA to try and stop it.. bad move bad look
did they take one moment to think
'what would the nation who is our largest military supplier outside of NATO think if we go straight to their regional competitor, who has contributed nothing and ask them to play peacemaker'
if they want to end the war then do it via negotiated settlement using the assets and skills of their partners, who have contributed so much
they want war, then talk war.. don't go sneaking around the back trying to find an easy way out with a double crossing deal
