See, the Art of the Deal is when you bully the weakest party to accept anything.
Like extorsion in exchange for the privilege of defeat.

And then, you give another weaker party - weaker than you - anything they want.
Like someone else's country in exchange for your own standing in the world.

Pessimist: the cup is half empty.

EU: after 6 years, a HISTORIC milestone!

As part of the #EUDEL package ("A Europe that delivers"), the EU approved the Comprehensive Cup Act (#CCA), thus becoming the first major economy to lead the way in the regulation of cups!
