Summary

This quote highlights the limited efficiency of diplomats when faced with challenging or difficult situations.

In such situations, their skills and strategies become ineffective, and they may find themselves overwhelmed and unable to weather the storm. It implies that diplomats' abilities are more suited to maintaining harmony rather than managing hostile or turbulent conditions.
