Hitler could not be talked out of his conquest, (in fact talking made the inevitable fix that much more difficult), Japan could not be talked out of the pacific, Saddam could not be talked out of Kuwait, and so on and so on. Of course diplomacy is a first choice, but in most cases enemies only truly want to talk peace once they have faced their own destruction.
