No, you didn't read it properly, and I'd say you're arguing in bad faith or you just cannot read properly as everyone else seems to have done just fine. Ignoring so much of their comment then their intention afterwards makes you look silly. You are wrong, your understanding is wrong.

Then why can't the OP nor you/ anyone else actually give an explanation, or even so much as give a response to an INCREDIBLY simple question. Of "do you think international diplomacy is that simple?"

Again. The conversation went

Me: diplomacy isn't that simple

SB: No. Shouting genocide Joe worked.

The first sentence is them denying my point that diplomacy isn't simple. The second sentence is tangential to that point. And does nothing to explain why they think diplomacy isn't actually simple. He'll I'm not even denying their se and point. Shouting genocide Joe did put pressure on Biden that did shape foreign policy in some small way. But again, its not relevant to the point I was making, so didn't quote it.

Which is why the other commenter is acting in bad faith when they completely ignore my point because I didn't quote their tangential point in my second comment.

I thought this would be fairly obvious to anyone with literacy skills but apparently I need to wrote whole paragraphs to explain what someone replying "no" means.

Yes, it's our literacy skills which are lacking. Gotcha.

Well I'm glad you were able to come to terms with that the very least.
