Following this morning's first post, I thought it might be fun to see how "traditional" bureaucratic diplomacy used to work in the USA (and still works in far too many parts of the world). It's this that President Trump is ripping to shreds with his new approach - and not before time, too.
That pretty much sums up the way the US government's bureaucrats and diplomats have been used to doing things. I suspect they're in for a few rude shocks, over and above last weekend's little brouhaha over Colombia . . .
