    Negotiators are having a working dinner, one of the people said, which will be followed by technical discussions on Saturday night.

    Hopefully they employ some blunt messaging, since USians tend to think bullying, wheedling, begging , and hoping are the way to accomplish anything.

      Some weirdos also seem to think that threatening genocide against Iran is a legitimate business tactic for negotiation (if you are wondering where I found these strange people, I found them in a Dave Rubin video on YouTube): no joke.

          Yeah but that sort of thing falls a bit outside of what people might consider “bullying” (and more in line with what the average person would consider a war crime).
