diplomacy [Theme] Page 1

The first rule of diplomacy is not to give good abyss of the crisis.

We see peacekeeping activity as an important part of its policy to strengthen international and regional security.

The friendship of peoples, interethnic, interfaith unity and tolerance there is no alternative. Where there is no consent, it is chaos, and the state collapses.

Not all. When you beg someone to spare your life, remember two things. First, you have to entertain someone who has a gun. And secondly, you have to convince. You did neither the one nor the other. Well, dance! Why shouldn't I kill you?

That's when you get half or two thirds of what you had - then you can consider yourself a diplomat.

In 1990 Gorbachev and Yakovlev gave a wide-ranging discussion about the Soviet-German nonaggression Pact and secret protocols to it. Striking a farce the organization of hearings on this issue at the Congress of people's deputies. In the critical periods of world history, secret diplomacy and secret protocols - the inevitable attributes of foreign policy. Unlike ordinary parliamentarians, and Gorbachev and Yakovlev, and Shevardnadze, at that time secretly dogovarivalis with the leadership of the United States, England and Germany on loans, loans in exchange for the Soviet Union's withdrawal from Eastern Europe, was well aware of this report. All the fuss around the secret protocols to the Soviet-German Pact has been rather sophisticated in matters of secret diplomacy with the people in order to divert attention from its own failures in foreign policy, from unilateral, unjustified strategic concessions to the Western powers. Nothing but "sincere" stupidity and professional incompetence cannot explain their calculations on the fact that the countries of the West economically will help the revival of "democracy" in the Soviet Union in exchange for foreign policy concessions and the unilateral cessation of the cold war.

Up to the second, until he heard the first volley of cannon fire, every war is called diplomacy.

Vyacheslav Molotov - a man of outstanding ability and cold-bloodedly ruthless. His smile, breathing Siberian chill, his carefully considered and often wise words, his kind manry made him the ideal spokesman for Soviet policy in the global situation, which threatened mortal danger.

Munich and more convinced the Soviet government that neither Britain nor France will fight until they are attacked, and that even in this case they would be of little use. The impending storm was ready to burst. Russia was supposed to take care of themselves.

The cat Protocol is much more diplomatic - it is based on dignity and mutual respect.

A good cigar is sometimes better than any diplomacy.

If you think that what you are doing is important, then you need to learn to work with all these "horrible" people. This is the world.
You will see that "horrible" people can do remarkable things. Yes.
But if you want to work with the ideal people, you will not find them. Man is a combination of different traits.
If you are open. If you are "Yes" and "no", "Yes" to one and "no" to another.. If you are just one big "Yes", we will find a way and learn how to work and negotiate with different people.

Diplomacy, juggling with words, bombs and smiles.

A true diplomat always knows what to ask when you don't know what to say.
