Amateur hens in in amongst the practiced wolves!

When one negotiates as the USA currently is they are in a position of weakness. They are letting a time table/political agenda dictate the pace at which the process needs to comply.

Those in a position of strength know all they have to do is dig in their heels and take their time and let the desperation of the clock dictate the need to CAVE!!!

This administrations priority for having an agreement in a specific time frame far outweighs the content of the agreement or security of the USA and it's allies.
