People say I'm stubborn, opinionated, and oppositional. I disagree.

"Negotiations" this word the people of the world hate most. You can stand against the devil fighting. The moment you stop you're done.

Libya negotiated. Let's be precise about what happened to Libya. In 2003, Muammar Gaddafi made a strategic decision to abandon his weapons programs, open his country to international inspectors, and normalize relations with the West. He paid reparations for Lockerbie. He dismantled his nuclear program. He cooperated with Western intelligence against Al-Qaeda. He did everything that was asked of him. He negotiated. He complied. He normalized. In 2011, NATO bombed Libya for seven months. His own military turned against him with Western backing. He was captured in a drainage pipe. A mob sodomized him with a bayonet while Western officials watched via satellite feed. Hillary Clinton laughed about it on camera. "We came, we saw, he died." The man who gave up his deterrent in exchange for promises of security and normalization died in a drainage pipe while the people who made him those promises laughed at the footage of him being sodomized with a bayonet. And Libya, which had the highest GDP per capita in Africa, free healthcare, free education, housing subsidies, and a functioning welfare state, became a failed state with open slave markets within three years. This is what negotiated security guarantees look like. This is the documented outcome. Not a fringe case. Not a misunderstanding. The most complete, unambiguous illustration possible of what your weapons are worth the moment you give them up. The lesson is not complicated. The only deterrent is a deterrent you still possess. The moment you negotiate it away, you have nothing left to negotiate with.
