Gromyko strategy

The Gromyko strategy, named after Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, refers to a hardline, uncompromising diplomatic approach designed to exhaust and outlast opponents rather than achieve genuine compromise. Known as “Mr. No” or “Mr. Nyet” in the West, Gromyko used prolonged negotiations, rigid positions, and procedural dominance to stall talks and wear down adversaries.

Key elements of the Gromyko strategy include:

Dragging out discussions with endless technicalities, monologues, and digressions.
Refusing to concede ground, even symbolically, to maintain a position of strength.
Flooding negotiations with false or irrelevant information, forcing the other side to waste time correcting inaccuracies.
Reframing aggression as self-defense and accusing the West of hypocrisy to create moral confusion.
Interpreting Western offers of compromise as signs of weakness, encouraging further demands.

Well yeah, there are no bargaining chips. What do we have to offer? What do you want Witkoff to offer?

Apply pressure, duh. They did gave away every carrot from the start, being the fucking realtard masters of negotiatins they are, so it's time for proper sticks. Witkoff is a fucking clown and needs to take a hike. Rubio should take over.
