RE: Russia, money and diplomacy

in diplomacy •  7 years ago 

Diplomacy - meaning -the art of dealing with people in a sensitive and tactful way.
Diplomacy has always been part of my work, in my 20's it was difficult not to give my opinion, as I saw it at the time, now I try not to give out my opinion so I have gone full circle. In my 30's I found I was good at diplomacy, mostly due to the trust placed in me to deliver protocol agreements. However, the truth is while I gain support for those in need it did mostly depend on money. Perhaps some education set in motion a change of events. Time will tell. This brings me to the poor lack of diplomacy Russia has shown:,,,Kgor Konashenkov,,,,,,using the media to attack UK Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson "His fears about Russia getting pictures of power plants and studying the routes of British pipelines are worthy of a comic plot or a Monty Python’s Flying Circus sketch".

Its ridiculous to compare raising awareness of Russia actions, to a brilliant UK 1969 comedy show. Russia is a complex Country with very complex international relations, I have no idea what is being said in the halls of power but I think Russia intentions are mainly disruption of economies, and expanding its boarders, as I said money tends to be the main motivation in organisation change, perhaps trade agreements should take note. When we read these silly media provocation's, any person obtaining the trust to be given the post of Defence Secretary, if they wish to be taken seriously should use diplomacy or spend the evening watching TV. If history is to teach us about powerful nations, it is not out of the realms of possibilities that Russia wishes to control Countries, supply and demand of fuel and finance outside of their boarders. I DO know what the aftermath of war is, mostly to civilians who have to burry their dead, rebuild homes and probably never trust again or get a peaceful night sleep, but I sleep better knowing Defence Secretary Mr Williamson is spending his evenings reading reports and I hope watching Vikings! Although I would use diplomacy rather than ships and axes. I took the photos attached. AllOK when diplomacy wins.IMG_20180127_0001.jpg
