Good job ignoring the stupid move by the Trump team. Diplomacy requires good will from both parties. Public threats are not conducive to a successful outcome.
Yes, again, because treating them all nicey nice has worked so well in the past.
Threats are a part of diplomacy as well. But your overriding hatred of Trump just makes you suck up to any dictator that gives him the business.
It's kind of sad actually.
Threats are not part of diplomacy in any way.
Especially in the very early stages where building trust is essential. The point of diplomacy is to find common ground and build a relationship based on common goals.

"his genius for tact and diplomacy"
Wow, going to a dictionary.....
And the "sensitive" part is an addition I don't agree with. Ever hear of "gunboat diplomacy?"
I go to the dicionary because you obviously have difficulty with the concept.
How many MS13 members do you have living in your basement? Are you using diplomacy to keep them from hacking you and your family into little pieces with machetes?
Stay on topic, loser.
