The Rules of the Game

These are UN diplomacy rules as told by Michael Soussan in his 2008 book: Backstabbing for Beginners. My Crash Course in International Diplomacy.

  1. The truth in not a matter of fact, it is a product of consensus.
  2. Never get stuck with the buck.
  3. The assistant to your enemy is your friend.
  4. Even the paranoid have enemies.
  5. Always be more polite than your enemy.
The first rule could fit the climate change alarmists. It is no wonder the UN is so screwed up.
