It is known as the “set of procedures that regulate relations between states.” Thus prays at least, the definition of diplomacy in the Dictionary of the Royal Academy, but read from what happens today would seem committed to an urgent review. The shameful show of the humiliation of the president of a country at televised war from the oval office, this week happens an alleged ‘negotiating’ meeting in Saudi Arabia between delegations of the United States and Ukraine to talk about peace.
Between one and the other, the White House threatened by closing the trickey of military aid to the invaded country and Zelenski had no choice but to accept the tragala of an economic agreement to yield to Washington half of its most valuable mineral farms: The pure blackmail supplanting without any disguise to the diplomatic burnings. To continue like this, ambassadors schools must include in their studies the classic neighborhood thug manual.
Seen the one that can come on us, the subject that has already sneaked urgently in the agenda of our politicians is rearmament, another subtle discipline in international relations and that also passes exam in our country this Thursday with President Sánchez’s appointment to political groups To speak and negotiate on military spending and Spanish participation in European defense. Few bet on a collective approved.
Diplomacy is equally the art of negotiation, but the skill in the matter quotes down both on the external scenario and in our domestic policy. It is not, therefore, at the horizon of defense agreement between government and opposition, despite the blacks and warlike clouds that are approaching. Moreover, parliamentary discussion is being rapidly supplanted by disqualification And the mockery on social networks, as even confirms the PP with its recent video that mutates the president and other politicians of his surroundings in ridiculous television characters thanks to artificial intelligence.
Insult and threat, lies and cynicism, and, finally, aggressiveness and violence. This is the path of the new policy that radiates the most powerful country in the world and which, until now, we considered a partner and ally. While we witness how your peace imposes on Ukraine, From the EU we can attend the funeral of diplomacy or try to change and rearm your rules to defend it. We will have to see if our politicians are up to par.
