The global elite absolutely love throwing massive parties for themselves. The UAE President just handed a shiny medal to a departing diplomat. He gave the First Class Order of Independence to the Maltese ambassador today. Maria Camilleri Calleja received the award because her tenure finally ended. Reem bint Ebrahim Al Hashimy presented the medal at the foreign ministry.
A Pat on the Back
Diplomats spend years attending formal dinners and exchanging meaningless pleasantries. Then, the host nation gives them a heavy medal to validate their existence. They claim this hardware recognizes her massive contribution to bilateral ties. The ambassador predictably expressed her deep gratitude to the UAE President. She thanked the local authorities for making her mission a total success.
The Theater of Diplomacy
This entire exchange represents the absolute pinnacle of diplomatic theater. The working class struggles to survive while the elite hand out awards. These shiny trinkets mean absolutely nothing to the ordinary citizen.
Diplomacy is just a club for the elite. Expose their hollow rituals at The WAU today.
