Governments are supposed to cultivate cordial relations with each other, especially if they are neighbors. This is often not the case, as each one has its own agendas, which rather often do not match. Governments of neighboring countries often clash with each other for reasons of conflicting common borders. An aggresive neighbor often provokes territorial disputes with an interest in interfering in its neighbor's affairs or grabbing territory.

Diplomats are there specifically for handling relations between countries. They are the delegates empowered to attend negotiations after having been thoroughly instructed about the objetives and strategy to be used in the negotiations.

Venezuela's explosive President Maduro has reacted violently to information that implies that U.S. diplomats have been provoking unrest with the purpose of causing chaos in Venezuela. But accusations to that effect are unconfirmed, but are, however, taken seriously by an extremely aggresive and incapable president, who is clearly losing control of his country.
