“The art of the deal” just straight up groveling and begging for a deal here and in Iran

    What a worthless conservative cockroach. He's the perfect reflection of all conservatives. We should round them all up and send them to Russia to help, since they love invasions and genocides so much.

    So how is the deal with Iran going? When are prices coming down? Maybe focus on that first, heh?

    I mean, we've gone through this, but:

    A home invader has killed one of your children and taken over the living room. He continues to threaten to kill you all and demands that you turn over your whole house. The rational response here is not to "make a deal" and give him the living room and take one-less-child as a cost of doing business. Not only is it morally wrong and logically unjustifiable, but it's not even rational to leave an unchecked murdering invader now living in your living room.

    It's just so stupid it's actually stupefying. It's actually hard to come up with words to address how stupid Trump is.

    It’s actually hard to come up with words to address how stupid Trump is.

    He's probably compromised as well. He's dumber than a box of rocks, yes, but has enough sentience to know when someone has his little peas in a vise.

    The guy is obviously so butthurt about the Russia "hoax" (fucking lol; especially when the Tone Police in the Murc's Law Media, nevermind some leftists, take up that same refrain) because it hits so close to home.

    Ah, but you most definitely can make a deal with a home invader who wants to murder you.

    Home invaders enjoy receiving energetic gifts, such as HN3, F2, P4, COCl2, and Ni(CO)4. They enjoy those kinds of deals so much, in fact, that they will leave without a word.

    What Trump doesn't realize is that Zelensky is already upholding his end of the deal. His part of the bargain is to help designated Russians enter another world, and deconstruct various Russian oil facilities. It is Putin who lacks the resolve to uphold his part of the bargain.

    If I've learned anything from playing Civilisation, making a peace deal with an aggressive enemy when they're starting to lose just means they need a moment to rebuild their army so they can try again.

    In Civilization I, making a peace deal with an enemy means they stop attacking you for a few turns, meaning you get a free hit on them with no repercussions.

    Also seems like the AI loves that trick in Civilization II, because unlike the player they don't get penalized.

    Ah yes, the art of the deal: have someone else do it

    Yeah, well, Ukraine made a deal before, and Putin broke it, so Zelensky would be an idiot to make a deal with him.

    This dipshit's entire worldview is shaped by inheriting daddy's real estate schtick and thinks it's all about "making deals".

    Dude couldn't even really do that very well.

    FFS, Americans love a grifter.

    To stop the killing, Putin should stop sending troops to the front line.

    Russia started it, Russia can end it. It's just Putin's fragile ego that's preventing the war ending and a retreat from Ukraine (Crimea included)
