Is it true that the main principle of negotiations described there is basically giving the opponent most of his ask right off the bat?

German Defense Minister Pistorius commenting on Trump:


What credibility does Germany have on anything in terms of Russia? Have they stopped buying Russian oil/gas? Have they stopped trading with Russia through proxies?

Have they even met their minimum NATO spending goals?

This video from 6 years ago of a German delegation laughing at Trump when Trump rightfully warned that Germany is enabling Russia and will be totally hostage to them never gets old.

The fuckers admit not negotiating in good faith, mock Donnie's efforts:

Senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday that the point of holding peace talks with Ukraine was to ensure a swift and complete Russian victory.

"The Istanbul talks are not for striking a compromise peace on someone else's delusional terms but for ensuring our swift victory and the complete destruction of the neo-Nazi regime," the hawkish deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council said on Telegram.
"That's what the Russian Memorandum published yesterday is about."

Medvedev was referring to a set of Russian demands presented to Ukraine at talks in Istanbul on Monday.

Of course not. I was never under illusion they can be negotiated with without first being properly fucked up. But the POTUS, in his infinite wisdom, apparenly thought (and still does) that making puppy eyes and cooing sounds will somehow bring them to the table in earnest.

Trump came in blustering like a protege of Roy Cohn.

But as long as he is an improvement over your favorite president Birdbrain Biden then I am willing to tolerate that.

I know you are upset there is no more an open border and there are less welfare state giveaways like student loan forgiveness.

I see USAID's budget is cut in the 2026 proposed budget about 47% compared to Birdbrain Biden's 2025 budget.

Who says Elon Musk did not have any positive effect on cutting waste like at USAID ?

Elon was trying to do the right thing, but in the end it turned out that Trump just used him for PR and was never serious about cutting spending.

One of the most naive and contradictory aspects of Trump’s foreign policy, in my view, is his stance on Iran and Ukraine.

Trying to persuade Iran not to build nuclear weapons by offering security and economic guarantees, while simultaneously abandoning Ukraine—which gave up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for similar guarantees—sends a deeply inconsistent message. It undermines U.S. credibility and weakens the value of such guarantees in the eyes of other states.

because give a foot and take a mile is the mindset and it shows Putin is not serious about negotiating for peace

I say focus on California, the Cloward Piven Strategy shithole, and put the effort into smoking out and exposing the Democrat Party's enforcer and domestic terrorist organization, AntiFa

the TACO snarky memes stopped and AntiFa went total apeshit when ICE started to do its job
