You dismissed the book out of hand based on nothing but the author’s name
It’s actually an in depth history of the use of diplomacy through the centuries as it’s adversary, the military, fought for control of nation’s futures
The Irony here is that you have no use for Diplomacy, nor do you have any sense of exploring it as a critical cog in preventing wars initiated by territorial disputes
Your comments appear driven by Greek Mythology that places decisions in the hands of all powerful Gods that can choose to be benevolent or cruel based on whim or some internal dispute where Hera gets back at Zeus by sending an arrow into a human’s heal
Pick any other author on the history of diplomacy. Its gonna read like history
Its easy to see that your checkerboard is one dimensional
The irony here is that you can’t discern the difference between faux diplomacy (Biden/Blinken-Gaza) and the real kind (Mitchell-Ireland). You obviously have no interest in diplomatically preventing war, just like your hegemonic heroes (Biden/Blinken-Ukraine).
My comments are driven by the awareness of three things, empire, narrative, and propaganda, and how all three relate to the twin pillars of truth and justice.
Your checkerboard is without any dimension, as it is illusory in nature.
Don’t care about mythology, I’ll let Omar take care of that for me.
I suggest you read Kissinger’s book “Diplomacy”
Now that made me laugh out loud! Thanks!
What’s next, a book on how I learned to be a diplomatic asshole, by Hillary Clinton?
I charge for laughs. Laughs out loud are double

How you learn to be an asshole is up to you
You’re damn right I dismissed it out of hand, both because of the author’s name and the sick irony of the title.
Everybody with a pulse, and a smidgeon of good sense knows ol’ Hank spelled diplomacy C… I…. A.
What will you ‘suggest’ next, something like ‘The Art of the Deal’, so I can get an ‘in depth’ look at Trump’s thoughts on leadership?
Stick to your Fake News. You’re out of your element here, Donnie.
