“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Donald Trump, President of the United States (2017-2021 and 2025-2029)
Not partially unacceptable. Not needs improvement. Not could be better.
President Trump remains fixated on an agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran which contains ten, fifteen, or twenty bullet points on one or two sheets of paper. To achieve this, each word in each sentence must reflect expansiveness and comprehensiveness. Meaning the use of uber-adjectives, uber-adverbs, and uber-nouns. That is challenging for creating an enforceable document.
Defining “Ceasefire” Is Now Like Defining International Law- It Is Whatever A Government Deems It To Be At Any Given Moment.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary: “A military order to cease firing. A suspension of active hostilities”
