the situation calls for level-headedness and cool diplomacy, qualities that are unfortunately scarce in such tense scenarios. The player involved have robust egos and strong geopolitical desires, making concession and compromise challenging. We can only hope that communication channels remain open, and wisdom prevails in their decision-making. It might be wishful thinking, though!
