He is a very clever and subtle negotiator.

Subtle, clever brain, wiser than I am,by what devious means do you contriveto remain idle? Teach me, O master.

If you want a state negotiator, that's fine, too, but get one. If you don't communicate, you'll never get anything accomplished.

Subtle! Subtlety is bourgeois. Brecht us that when he popped drama’s cherry. He fucked drama until it stopped being subtle, like a lady, and started being useful, like a whore.

When you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

We're asking that he be removed from negotiations. He's not a valid negotiator.
