Just witnessed something wild: a 28-point peace proposal for the Russia-Ukraine conflict just dropped, and somehow it managed to piss off every single party involved.
Kyiv's rejecting it. Moscow's rejecting it. Even Washington's not on board.
The core argument? You can't have both Russia and Ukraine feeling secure at the same time. One side's security is the other's existential threat—classic zero-sum game.
What's fascinating here isn't the plan itself, but how fast it united everyone in opposition. When all three power centers hate your proposal equally, you've either found the perfect compromise or just proven peace talks are still a fantasy.
For markets watching geopolitical risk premiums, this is another reminder: the conflict's nowhere near resolution, and uncertainty remains the only certainty.

All 28 proposals can provoke all three parties, how absurd is that?
---
A Zero-sum Game is just that ruthless, one party's security is another party's death sentence.
---
It's always like this, at the negotiation table, everyone speaks for themselves; it’s better to just accept fate.
---
When the three major forces collectively push back, it indicates either the proposal is perfect or there’s no saving it... I bet on the latter.
---
How is the market going to speculate on this? Anyway, the chaos will continue, and money lies in uncertainty.
---
This scene of "united opposition" looks truly absurd, making it seem like a collective boycott.
---
Forget it, people haven’t figured out how to cooperate yet, so don’t even think about peace.
---
It’s always the same routine: propose a plan → all oppose → continue to stalemate, rinse and repeat.

28 proposals all hit a wall, this is just ridiculous...
---
All three parties are saying no, this guy really has redefined "perfect compromise"
---
The zero-sum game is right, one party's safety = the other party's demise, it's impossible to bend it straight
---
However, this thing has united all sides, just united in opposing this matter haha
---
The market still has to continue to take the dividends of this uncertainty, don't expect peace in the short term
---
Everyone opposes one proposal, what does that prove? The negotiation is still too immature
---
This proposal is really something, it has annoyed all the adults in the world, and that's no easy feat
---
Why does it feel like the more peace proposals there are, the closer we are to war...
---
A typical situation where pleasing everyone is useless, we still have to wait and see what happens next
---
So this is called "perfect compromise"? It looks to me like a perfect disaster scene.

28 points all criticized? Haha, this is the true unification.
---
After playing the zero-sum game for so long, do they really think the peace plan is a winning strategy? So naive.
---
Laughing to death, a proposal that can make Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington all oppose it, how ridiculous.
---
To put it bluntly, no one wants to make concessions, so what’s there to talk about?
---
Risk premiums continue to soar, I bet this order won't have certainty for a year.
---
A proposal that all three hate, this isn’t compromise, it’s an art performance.
