Robert Greene ( my favorite author ) teaches this strategy in his books - he calls it "Negotiate While Advancing" when he was talking about it i instantly thought about Israel. In Israel's case its " negotiate while illegally building settlements in an area you're militarily occupying " which is something forbidden by the United Nations if i recall correctly Israel broke more UN resolutions than any other country on the planet, but US has veto power and we always cover for Israel. the Jewish media teaches us that Israel is our greatest ally because they vote with us at the UN more often than anybody else ... well, sort of ... except it's rally US that votes with Israel, or rather Vetoes whatever Israel doesn't like ...
