Just some ideas about doing diplomatic negotiations

1) Do not call the other party stupid in front of television cameras and microphones on
an airport tarmac right before you start the negotiations like J.D. Guy-Liner did in Budapest.

B) If both sides don’t come to an agreement schedule more meetings do not just walk away.

III) Do not tear up and throw away a deal that gets you exactly what you want and if you were
stupid enough to do just that why don’t you ask if the other side would like to revisit that deal?

4) Do not threaten to kill millions of the other country’s citizens and bomb them back to the Stone Age.

Each side making demands of the other to give a semblance of negotiations.

It took President Obama years of negotiations to come with an agreement and took Krasnov 10 seconds to destroy it.

I have a great idea, restore the agreement that was working.

As White Supremacist and Nazis we felt compelled to null & void these agreements to erase any accomplishments of the administration of the stoopid Black man.

Our racist MAGA base loved us for having done this, what else could we do ?
