Diplomacy is the offer of a carrot and the THREAT of a stick. Force itself means diplomacy has broken down.Chamberlain and Daladier thought diplomacy was the way to prevent war with Hitler. They were both dead wrong. You don't stop a bully with reason or ethics; you stop him with force.
I would argue that prior to WWII real diplomacy was not properly employed. But they say hindsight is 20/20 and we're all armchair experts, lol
