Question

Is diplomacy inherently political? Are diplomats politicians?

Answer 1

Diplomacy: n. native government authority interacting with a foreign government authority and representing the native government

Politics: n. trying to control and/or distribute a subset(s) of the world but primarily nation subsets with deceptive emotionally (pleasant and/or unpleasant) (stereotypes and/or generalities) and coercion

Diplomats are generally less emotional in the way that they interact with foreign governments, are more strategic and considerate of cultural norms, and should be well versed in the art of negotiations and compromise.

Politicians try to manipulate humans into voting for them and then pass coercive laws to rule them. They cater to or pass legislation to promote special interests within and sometimes outside a nation.

The president of the United States, a politician, often uses military power to assert American presence in the world and uses military and economic power in an attempt to change or modify national governments.

Answer 2

Diplomats are commonly less enthusiastic in the manner in which that they associate with remote governments, are increasingly key and thoughtful of social standards, and should be knowledgeable in the specialty of arrangements and trade off.

Politicians endeavor to control people into voting in favor of them and after that pass coercive laws to administer them. They take into account or pass enactment to advance extraordinary interests inside and once in a while outside a country.
