Modern diplomacy: other presumptions --- 1. The traditional diplomacy failed in more respects that the modern one.

2. The successes of modern diplomacy have been possible because we no more practice traditional diplomacy. (post hoc ergo propter hoc)

Added to that are the fallacies of (1) hasty generalization: whatever is modern is good and even (2) slippery slope: if you are not modern, you are doomed to fail.
