it struck me as extraordinary that the leaders of each of these countries bore such an intimate familial relationship to each other. It was as if the entire matter was nothing more than a childish game: Willy, Georgie, and Nicky running around a garden, setting out their forts and toy soldiers, enjoying an afternoon of great sport until one of them went too far and they had to be separated by a responsible adult.
It struck me as extraordinary that the leaders of these countries shared such close familial ties, making their political conflicts seem almost trivial. The situation appeared more like children playing in a garden, with Willy, Georgie, and Nicky building forts and arranging toy soldiers, enjoying their playtime.
This playful imagery emphasized how their interactions seemed less like serious diplomacy and more like children engaging in a game, which could easily turn into trouble. The scene suggested that only a responsible adult could step in to restore order when things went too far.
