My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,
Did the peace talks begin today? Did you get a full report from Jared? Are you sure he belongs in the room?
Perhaps it’s time to call in some folks with more experience dealing with Israel & Iran. Someone who speaks Farsi would be good! According to TIME, both sides “come to negotiations with maximal demands” & none of the negotiators have expertise.
Everyone is saying that your favorite general, AKA Pakistan army chief Asim Munir, is key to the success. Did you see India Today’s story about his costume change for meeting the US & Iranian planes? They published a photo of him in a suit to shake hands with JDV & fatigues to greet M Ghalibaf & the 71 other Iranians he brought with him to Islamabad. What do you read into AM’s choice of attire? Is he trying to be both a business person & a military guy? Can he have it both ways?
As I tried to make sense of this situation, I found an article in Psychology Today, "How Anxiety Can Increase the Likelihood of War," where the author notes, “anxious people seek surcease from their anxiety by seeking the safety & protection perceived to be provided by the leader against designated enemies…a sort of anxiety catharsis by war.” I worry that you may have subscribed to this theory when you started EFO. Turns out most Americans do not perceive Iran to be a threat. Now that you know that, it’s time to withdraw.
OoM, what’s going on with Melania? Is she ok? She’s got everyone wondering why she made her statement about Epstein. Was it a misguided effort to steer the press away from EFO? Many speculate she’s trying to get ahead of a news flash. I regret that she infuriated many Epstein survivors by demanding they appear before Congress. They don’t want to be retraumatized & prefer she pressure the Justice department to “follow the facts wherever they may lead.”
I wish you weren’t going to UFC 327 tonight. While Jiri Prochazka may be an intriguing fellow, watching his “relentless storm of spinning attacks” is just going to rile you up. Best to let go of wrestling mania, at least for the time being. If you really want the peace talks to work, you need to cultivate a sense of calm. As the Dalai Lama says, “Peace starts within each of us.”
SoW, please get some intel on MAH’s state of mind & find out what he meant when he promised to “consider appropriate amnesties” in his inaugural speech as President of Burma. See what you can do to encourage him to free Aung San Suu Kyi.
BYBS,
