"Nobody skilled in negotiation goes in expecting to get what they want in the first proposal. You know that, counselor. So what you do is go in with a maximalist, ridiculous request that you know they'll say no to...thus when you ask for thing you really want you're not making that your top offer." - Dope

Dope, that is dumb even for you.

Trump is threatening war with an ally over territory it controls. It is obvious from past exchanges that you don't have a really good grasp on foreign relations so I will help you out. Threatening the use of force is not something to just toss around carelessly. Especially when a person is about to become the leader of the country with the strongest military in the world and lots of nukes. You are trying to just pretend it is Trump being Trump and he shouldn't be taken seriously. Unfortunately Trump is as ignorant at international relations as you are. You both do not realize that reputation matters and countries have long memories. Thanks to Trump we have already reached the point that our allies do not trust the U.S.
