No, on two counts. Firstly, we begin with a power imbalance, we're not on a level playing field. Secondly, there's nothing inconsistent about both parties being able to create an unwinnable state for the other. As I stated earlier in my comment, the most likely outcome is no dealing whatsoever. The only rational alternative is an agreement whose effects we can both perfectly foresee.
