K          “It all makes very clear nonsense.  They have disagreed not to disagree in a non-binding parchment that the U.S. and Israel will never follow.  And then to commit their disagreements in writing at a later date.”

J          “And then to continue not to negotiate in good faith and to commit all their disagreements in writing in a final document that will spout many words and will achieve nothing.”

. . .

K          “Delay continues to destroy the world economy.  2026 is the Summer of the Cliff Diving Copa Mundial.  As I gather, the world has gone over the fertilizer cliff and the sulphur cliff and the naphtha cliff and the question vexing the pundits is whether the world now dives off the helium cliff or the oil cliff – the Everest of all cliffs – first.”

J          “Progress is so nuanced.”

. .  .

J          “Stay tuned.”

J          “Israel is fully committed to all-out war with Iran.  Ergo, the U.S. is fully committed to all-out war with Iran.” 

K          “I maintain that Iranian leaders must make a fundamentally moral, military, and strategic decision.  The Iranian leaders may have made the decision that this is the hill they will die on.”

J          “Ergo.”

. . .

J          “I know someone who says that all prices, in particular gas prices, will be down to normal by Labor Day.”

K        “I know someone who insists that Trump will drive prices down by the Big Birthday Party on July 4.”

. . .

J          “As long as the stock market keeps going up, the Three Percenters are not going to bother themselves with the events in the Middle East.”

K          “As long as the Parvenu PMCers’ 401(k)s keep growing, everything is A-Okay.  However, I suspect that a surprise awaits in the next few weeks.”

. . .

J          “Hope sprouts for a long time, they say.”

K          “They also say that hope is not a strategy.”

J          “Without hope, the restiveness will manifest.”

. . .

K          “With the political annihilation of Thomas H. Massie by the Deep State and Israel, the voice of reason and maturity in the Congress is being silenced.  Perhaps not forever.  The slightly less violent dismissal of Tulsi Gabbard who attracted the votes needed to put Trump over the top in 2024 now leaves only the psychopathic dregs in the White House in control.”

J          “The greatest blunder in modern history is followed by a quick, profound and staggering loss by the U.S.”
