When diplomats have to share one umbrella....

[Bonobo]

It happened during a recent summit of Weimar Triangle, with the leaders of Germany and France, the Polish President offered only one umbrella for 3.



What is the reason?

At the same time, I was very positively surprised when I saw how Russians had prepared the Katyn celebration for Poles last year. Each site offered an umbrella.



Is it strange, then, that Russian diplomacy has been always more efficient than Polish?

It's to promote international harmony! It's hard not to feel comradery with another person when huddled together under an umbrella! As for the guy left out in the rain...oh, well...that speaks volumes too!

So, you should mark that Polish president wanted to be closer to Merkel.



There were more blunders at the summit. E.g., Komorowski sat down first at the table and only then his guests. That is why I am going to mark a typical Polish mess. ;D ;D ;D ;D
