see, that's not the American way
we don't tell people to fuck off
we have no natural enemies
we want to do business with everybody
and China is going to throw Russia under the bus, to do business with Americans
that's the only thing propping them up
Wow... you really think you know Americans... you don't.
Americans used to believe it was our way or you can fuck off. You want pleasantry, that was what the wife was for, you want no-nonsense, no bullshit, you talk to the men.
We started going soft when we were told we needed to be nice to people, that negotiating was a give and take, and now look how the world is... so yeah, you don't like what I say, fine, but you can still fuck off.
You have nothing I want, so there is no negotiation.
