For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
In this episode of the National Security Hour, host Blanquita Cullum talks with the former Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the House of Representatives about a very critical absence of protocol, aka diplomacy.
According to the US Institute of Diplomacy and Human Rights:
Diplomatic protocol plays a crucial role in fostering respectful and effective international relations. This intricate system of rules and customs ensures that communication between nations remains smooth, culturally sensitive, and devoid of misunderstandings that could lead to conflict.
The world watched the public meeting between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as it went off the rails. President Trump’s recent joint address to members of Congress was clearly divided, with Members of Congress from the opposite side of the aisle protesting and ignoring some of the Special Guests the President honored.
Such as a 13-year-old survivor of brain cancer (with a dream of becoming a law enforcement officer) being named an Honorary Member of the Secret Service. Not one of the “loyal opposition” could find it in their hearts to clap, congratulate, or stand up for him.
Shocking time in our world and country – a lack of diplomacy. What are the stakes?
