....presumably what they say they see, and not what or how you predictably choose to spin things. I've not the slightest argument to offer that opposes the obvious thought that this mess is indeed a mess when viewed by others. I also hold the east culpable in this. I've long ago noted that I considered both west and east "negotiators" to be utterly incompetent, and frankly none-too-bright, nor at all up to their duties and responsibilities. YOU on the other hand, deny ANY responsibility for the west in any way, shape or form and have always done so....or has that magically changed of late? 😉 I'll leave the readers to decide on the general tone of "the rest of the world's" responses.
Your quoted, single line, for example, was prefaced by the poster by: "I try to be neutral, usually side with the west, and really don't have a dog in the fight. But this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. 4 minutes of crying and they're so serious about it they made it into not only a song, but a music video?"
cleardirect: "A fight that was supposed to be avoided by final and binding arbitration" How about more correctly a fight that was supposed to be avoided by not having both groups represented by completely incompetent and clueless fools. Oh!...I'm sorry...you still put complete faith in those very same fools out west. I'd almost forgotten. 😉
