talking with 1/2 sentences and garbled phrases got you nowhere as clearly seen with GWB. Instead he had to talk tough and use warfare to express himself instead. Do you honestly think that shoving crap and one sided policies down your counterparts throats favoring only the USA is going to get you anywhere? those days are over and you better wake up before your country entirely falls apart.

Honestly, when you go into diplomatic negotiations with another nation, whose interests are you looking to protect, theirs or yours? Are you doing your country any service by negotiating from a position of weakness? It’s a lot easier to start off in a strong position and back off to make terms mutually favorable, than it is to start from a weak position and to try the reverse. Conservatives are accused of forgetting to bring the carrot to the negotiations about as often as liberals are accused of forgetting to bring the stick.
