From the Russians POV, there really isn't anyone on the other side of the table.
All the Russians need to do is say,
Trump get your own house in order 1st.So this conflict isn't ever going to come out with a gift wrapped bow on it.
Really the question is,
how long is the media going to wait for that tied ribbon to arrive?Is it like fusion energy, always only 20 years away?
That’s great news! They’re actually willing to make concessions!
I mean joking aside, that's what this means yes. It's a common negotiation tactic. It's like the businessman who comes into a meeting saying he's never had to sell so the price is going to be very high.
But yes, this also matches up with the joke that whatever Russia says, believe the opposite. Except in this particular case it's literally part of the art of negotiations. Not the Trump book.
The Holy hand grenade skit and the French guy skit were all about negotiations and concessions.
It's not 3 and definitely not 6
and the French sent gifts from their kitchen which was quite generous of them
What's the Russia equivalent of trebuchet'ing a kitchen sink?
