It’s called “negotiation.”

It's called "threatening" and in diplomacy it generally doesn't get you very far.

You demand far more than you actually want at the beginning so your adversary is happy when you settle on a compromise that you both can live with.

So what is the compromise? Either you nuke them or you don't. Either Israel pays us for defending them, something that would come as a great surprise to the Israeli Defense Force who thought that's what they were doing, or you don't. Where is the middle?

It’s all in The Art of the Deal, but like I said you obviously are a person who doesn’t need facts because you already know everything.

I leave thinking that they know everything to Trump and his merry minions.

He explicitly said he doesn’t want to go nuclear.

You seem to have a reading comprehension problem.

Because our past and present policies have been working so well for us. Right. (rolls eyes)
