I bought a company. We were in general agreement but as negotiations went on, the owner started adding and changing. I walked away. Eventually he came back when he realized I was serious and I actually got the company with additional concessions.
Walking away is part of winning the negotiations and if you are not willing then you will get "Kerry-ed".

That has nothing to do with U.S foreign policy. I believe we already learned what happens when we let an incompetent failure of a businessman run the govt.
There were still sanctions in place that could have been used as a negotiation. trump backed out not because it was a wise decision. He did it in an effort to eradicate Obama from the history books.
How ironic. trump will go down in history as the laughing stock of the White House. Dubyah celebrates each morning when he wakes to find new tweets.
Obama has been eradicated. He has nothing left.
It's about negotiation moron. It does not matter what you are negotiating about. You have to be willing to walk away from the table or you always get a deal you don't want.
I am sure you nknew that but you wanted to say something stupid to keep you streak alive.
After all is said an done, the law of unintended consequences often accompanies actions that are poorly considered. The reason that proxies are used to undertake these sorts of actions is to specifically avoid provoking a pissing contest because one country is deliberately and openly humiliated by another. The principals behind the proxies are known to all parties, but there is no direct challenge. The downing of flight 752 would not have happened if America did not advertise their assassination of a high ranking Iranian military leader and essentially challenge Iran to do anything about it and 176 innocent third parties would not have died.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
