Yes, illiterate people must resort to repeating things they don't understand.

Liar. If I were illiterate I wouldn't be able to read or respond to your posts.

So here it is again:

And if as Trump said the deal is largely negotiated, then that means it's largely agreed on:

"Synonyms for negotiated vary by context, but often include arranged, concluded, agreed, or contracted."

So I'll just keep repeating this forever:

"To negotiate means to discuss and reach a mutual agreement or compromise with others. It is a process of "give and take" where parties bargain to establish terms, resolve conflicts, or settle on a price."

I've told you before, you're poor reading comprehension makes you functionally illiterate.

Evidence:

If nothing is agreed on, then no negotiations occurred.

Quote:Tonight Iran fired four drones at an American merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz area. All four drones were downed by US military forces. Then the US again carried out an air strike against the location where the drones were launched, in the Bandar Abbas area.

Iran didn't like that and launched drones and perhaps missiles at a US base in Kuwait. There are no reports of casualties or damage as of yet.

The Iranian attack on a US site in Kuwait appears to have been comparatively weak, several drones and one missile. All of which were successfully intercepted with no casualties or damage reported. Just several loud bangs in the sky.

You just said I was illiterate, which means I can't read or write. So again you're a liar.

Quote:Evidence:

Absolutely correct.

You said it yourself:

Quote:"No, it doesn't, oh so illiterate one.
In crayon: "Negotiation" is the process of coming to an agreement."

This morning, on the basis of a supposed leak from two unnamed officials, Axios was reporting that US and Iranian negotiators had supposedly reached a limited agreement and drafted a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding. This supposedly included Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic, the US ceasing its blockade of Iranian ports conditional on Iran opening the Strait, with nuclear negotiations to be addressed separately at the end of the sixty days.

But soon after this hit the internet, doubts started to arise. Neither President Trump or whoever is running Iran had endorsed the supposed MOU. And again, unnamed officials on both sides started denying the Axios report, calling it a complete fabrication. For its part, Israel doesn't believe it.

Not my problem if you can't remember what I've told you many times now.

Still your functional illiteracy hard at work.

Sounds like market manipulation.

Calling me illiterate makes you a liar. You can't change the meaning of a word.

You want me to write "functionally illiterate" every time?
Tough tiddly, dipshit. I trust everyone... other than you apparently.... to understand that the simple fact that you post on a text forum obviously means you're not just illiterate, especially when I thoroughly explain your woeful reading comprehension every time.

Dunning-Kruger lack of awareness to your own poor reading comprehension.
Keep it up. You're just proving it more and more.... and too ignorant to realize the fool your making of yourself.

It's hilarious.

Quote:You want me to write "functionally illiterate" every time?

You can lie and say I'm illiterate or you can stop. You can also stop lying that I'm functionally illiterate. The choice is yours.

I will. I certainly have no plans of ever stopping.
