Are you okay with those terms? How exactly do these terms leave Trump better off than before the war?

Bc we have decimated their army and equipment and have gotten them to bend their knee to a ceasefire in which we will now negotiate to make the world a safer place.

I suppose dem strategy will be to claim we will get nothing that we are asking for. And then when we don’t get every single thing we asked for, but get the most important stuff, they will again show that they don’t understand negotiation.

It really doesn’t though. Negotiation has always been about asking more than what you want. I feel bad for anyone who ever tried to sell something without understanding this.
