This is why I keep saying that to ever even try to communicate
verbally with Turanians is to set yourself up to be screwed over
by them. To trust that they ever want a sincere discussion about
anything is to be a sucker. When they talk, they are just
playing for time. They do not care and will never care about
what we have to say; they only care that we are being
successfully manipulated into wasting our time saying it,
because whatever time we spend talking to them is time not spent
on preparing to destroy them.
