K “‘They saw it coming’ could be the title of the history of the unprovoked and illegal Israel-U.S. attack on Iran.”
J “Few developments in life are more shocking and unsettling than drawing back and hitting the bullseye. Then what?”
. . .
J “History repeats itself seventy years later. The changing balance of power among international players is creating a Suez Crisis II realization.”
K “Four score and one years of terrorism may be abating. The U.S. is reducing its geographic boot print on the planet. Not voluntarily.”
. . .
K “Others observed that the skillfully and thoughtfully drafted Memorandum of Understanding was a veiled surrender document by the U.S.”
J “It is.”
K “Of course, the United States won’t necessarily honor an agreement once the agreement becomes inconvenient.”
J “That is known as one of the ‘known knowns’ among those on the inside.”
. . .
J “You may be right that the international bond market may be the big ticking time bomb. And Time does its thing without any prompting or payment.”
K “As long as everyone’s 401(k)s are rocketing to the moon, no one will be the least bit concerned about the rockets bandying about worldwide.”

J “And the U.S. will lose. And the world will lose.”
. . .
J “This is the end?”
. . .
J “And the beginning?”
