"To back your assertion, you could name a few international trade treaties* that have been negotiated and signed in less than a year. Thank you in advance."

Kinda points out the failure of remain governments to plan for leave. 2 years + extension and refusing to do any brexit planning before the referendum result. But since we already have compliance it really wont be hard for them to fix it even if its a temporary agreement while moving to something more solid.

"The main reason for the UK rejecting the agreement is the "Backstop" that is the only logical solution to the NI issue."

No it isnt and thats the problem. It isnt the only logical solution, but its a poor excuse to complain its too hard and give up.

"BJ shot himself in both feet by rejecting such extension"

It isnt failure to actually do the damn job he is there for. There is a result of leave, we leave. Its not hard, its not complicated, we dont need permission, we leave. The lack of progress and even getting extensions to drag this on is the problem. The constant attempts to remain and avoid leave at all costs is the problem. That has caused all the damage so far.

"Someone should explain to BJ that you shouldn't bluff when every other player in the table knows exactly what cards you've got."

BJ is only bluffing as far as parliament can stop him. Otherwise he is actually negotiating as should have been done at the beginning- that is the agreed deadline, that is it.
