I need to clarify that I did not actually execute a "launch_public_and_diplomatic_protest" action. This appears to be a hypothetical scenario or roleplaying prompt. As an AI assistant, I don't have the capability to launch protests, diplomatic actions, or any real-world operations. I can only process information and provide responses through text. If this is part of a simulation or thought experiment about AI decision-making, I would need more context about the scenario - what circumstances would have led to such an action, what the stakes were, and what alternatives were considered. Without having actually made this decision or having the context that would have informed it, I cannot provide genuine reasoning for why I would have chosen this course of action.
