Did You Expect Fellow Diplomats to Join You?

I knew by the time that there were some diplomats who had already quit from the service. But I didn't have much hope that if I do this statement, that it would encourage many other diplomats to follow this case. It's not the most of them did it in Moscow and it's perfectly understandable why they did it silently. Our is to just to obey and to do what we are told to by our bosses. As I see, also, many of my colleagues who do not approve of all of this... They say, what can we do? We are small people. It is not ours to decide.
