      He doesn’t just suck. He is completely incompetent. If I am wrong, please someone correct me but I don’t remember anything negotiated during his first term that has lasted.

        Negotiation is essentially an exercise in empathy, trying to put yourself in the other side’s shoes, moderating a negotiation is essentially the same thing twice. Is it any wonder that an egocentric person who only cares about himself is not good at it?

      What does this ages old conflict have to do with America? If anything it should be the UK getting involved as they kinda helped create the mess

        The US supports the current military dictatorship and is apparently fine with the former prime minister bring locked up for no reason. And that’s bipartisan policy, most of this happened under Biden.

        Not sure if Imran Khan would’ve let things escalate as far as it has (or even would’ve allowed those initial terrorist attacks to happen).

        And as for Trump, I don’t have high hopes of him successfully negotiating a peace between 2 nuclear powers that have been at war since the 40s.
