Instead of strengthening the NATO alliance and showing its power, the latest summit in Washington did the opposite, it laid bare its cracks, its failure to deal with reality, and its incapacity to respond to the unstoppable emergence of Multipolarity. It was a summit of retreat and will be remembered as the moment when NATO, instead of reinventing itself, doubled down with the same failed approach that ultimately leads to its demise. The summit was a also an amazing show of undiplomatic visions of world-domination. However, there are luckily still people out there who understand the real meaning of all this. One of them is my guest today—a living legend of US diplomacy—Ambassador Chas Freeman. Ambassador Freeman served as US Assistant Secretary of Defense from 1993-94, and as U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (89–92), handling the fallout of the Gulf War. He was the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the historic U.S. mediation of Namibian independence, And he was Richard Nixons principal interpreter during his 1972 visit to China, which lead to the normalization of US–China relations. Ambassador Freeman recently wrote a short but highly useful peace on “Diplomatic Professionalism” which I which each and every diplomat in the service of what ever country would be forced to read and internalise.
