A head of state received a telephone call from the external minister of a neighboring country threatening him of war. How best would you describe this scenario??
Amusing, is the first word that comes to mind. Amusing because some impersonator could manage to call the president with such ease, and then had the audacity to realistically threaten. At the moment I'm seeing the funny side of the story, but i realize the grave consequences.
It was an inane event. And to think that the president took the call so seriously that he ordered troops to move into advanced position only highlights his state of mind. It maybe a tactical move to divert attention but it comes at the high price of displaying naivety.
The whole incident reiterates the volatility of the situation, but you have to see the lighter side as well..
