• Diplomacy

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to ALL on Sunday, December 26, 2021 20:25:26
    Hello Everybody,

    Vladimir Putin held a press conference the other day.
    And made a complete fool of himself in the process.
    The next day he said Russia, the USA, and NATO would
    have discussions about their future relationship.

    Now why would Vladimir Putin prefer diplomacy rather
    than war to get what he wants? Well, one must understand
    what diplomacy is all about -

    "The purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis."
    ~ Mr. Spock, science officer on board the Enterprise

    Yes, Vladimir Putin is a huge fan of Star Trek ...

    Once upon a time one fortune-teller girl predicted Gaddafi that he would
    be torn apart before he died. After that Gaddafi started to visit many
    western country, tried to be a good guy, refused nuclear facilities.
    But... ;-)
