Of a diplomat is a sell them to solve a problem. You occasionally get the opportunity to negotiate an arms agreement that solves a part of the program, but even all of the arms control agreements between the u. S. And the soviet union never ended the tensions between the two systems, the two peoples, the different senses of ambition. We manage to we manage situations so they do not get out of hand.
