    It also probably doesn’t help the evil empire’s chances of horse trading their way out of this that people remember how it went with the Iran nuclear deal. There’s a reason why Russian diplomats had to invent a word messaging agreement-incapable to describe the yanks. Negotiating with these demons is a waste of time.

        “Not Agreement Capable” (недоговороспособны) is a term Russian diplomats came up with to describe their American counterparts, after each deal in Syria seemingly fell apart during the Obama Administration’s lame duck phase, with the Pentagon ‘accidentally’ bombing Syrian government troops or otherwise sabotaging deconfliction agreements established to fight ISIS.
