Out of curiosity, what are the other similar public meetings/negotiations you’re aware of that were conducted in a similar way?

Or generally, since you say this did not deviate from your expectations, what are the past events that influenced your baseline expectation for conduct on the geopolitical stage?

There have been a ton of them, at least according to historical accounts. But none in front of reporters like this.

Civility is overrated. Maybe you felt like tired rhetoric from prior admin about Israel or Putin was more effective but I sure don't. People are awfully afraid to rock the boat in American political discourse. It's probably been too polite as a cover for a lot of ugly policy on both the left and right.

it sounds like you're preferring status quo. I'm saying that status quo has failed.

Could you explain further? Specifically in the context of this discussion/today’s meeting and conduct?

[tonymet]

I really couldn't have been any clearer, so I don't know what to tell you.
