Foreign policy is based on how we work together, not as leaders or single individuals. This is true inwardly even as it’s the case outwardly. While leaders in the Commons prove they can’t work with anyone, the same sounds to be true in any other part of the world.
At the behest of munitions henchmen, the leaders we call elected politicians will say nice things to make deals happen. This isn’t the potential for meetings that make for arrangements, or private discussions that produce agreements.
In the back corridors of Parliaments across Europe, the fear is that leaders have lost their way. As Iran and the US spar in quite historic ways, the talk is still over making shopping trips to fight Russia. This isn’t bravery, but male puffery.
The combined work of junior staff, and the collegiate efforts of networked staff across the world, is proving to be of a better quality than all of the Kings horses and men put together. The good stuff is coming out, but crazy horses among us are ignoring it to our peril.
