Witkoff, President Trump’s fixer, has entered the Iran mess and was recently
talking to Iran’s leaders. That means Trump wants to feel the opponents and has
sent his most capable feeler.
And the results were immediate. Iran renounced its position of force, gained with a lot of efforts, and is about to let the Mossad agents, the US agents and all kinds of turbulents go scat free, instead of hanging them. This is another goodwill gesture like many nonsense inactions offered by stupid Russian leadership who obeyed its own self-set constraints even when Ukrainians were openly pissing on these “overtures”.
But while Russia didn’t risk anything, apart from making themselves, encore, the laughing stock, the Iranians are at a serious peril. Their population perceives that the regime is trying to appease the Americans, Witkoff’s actions and Trump’s statements have a visible impact. The next color revolution will be much harder to tame; and this one was brought in a taming position with immense exertions.
“America helps us”, “America can help”, are tropes that inculcates themselves into the Iranian psyche as we write. This rises the bar a few notches. The secret subversion of Iran gains a new amplitude.
Cynically, the US blockades a country, squeezes its economy, pauperizes large masses and then suddenly they propose to lift the sanctions “if”. This fake promise dangled in front of starving hordes makes them revolt, most often violently. But: the US never actually lifts sanctions, no matter the concessions made.
America deprives the foreign population of food and all sorts of livelihoods and then they pose in saviors and stupid masses can’t tell the fakeness of the US’s playbook.
The Iranian regime now plays to the American tune. They defended well and with considerable effort, that they will not be able to replicate at the next uprising. The duped masses now firmly believe that their provoked revolt is 1. justified and 2. has good chances of succeeding courtesy of America. An America that has no qualms in shooting the protesters via agents on place and blaming the Iranian government (same as Maidan and other color revolutions).
Moreover, the Iranians are not shielded - by such supposed de-escalation measures – against an attack from America. Trump gave them a lot of assurances just before the previous huge bombings. Déjà vu. History is about to repeat itself? Watch out for Saturday, as Trump seems big on numerology; also, all his attacks were on non-trading days, i. e. the week-ends…
Witkoff, as we know, has been Trump’s diplomatic fixer, starting with Gaza (which is still unsettled and in limbo) and Ukraine. In Gaza, he got the hostages, alive and dead, freed, produced a fake peace in which Palestinians are killed and Israel acts with total impunity.
In Ukraine, he read Russians like open books.
Trump enjoys being considered erratic (“TACO”), quirky, capricious. His entourage also encourage this mis-perception. But they all act rationally and cunningly. They are not geniuses, but are not dupes.
Americans, especially frat-boys like Rubio and Hegseth, are adept at reading the other guys. All fraternity players play poker, that implies putting on a “poker face” (a mask) and trying to take out the mask of the adversary, i. e. to read it. Poker is a card game; Trump constant reference at having or not having cards denotes that they think in such terms among themselves.
When they graduate and move on to other things, their reflexes stay with them. Of course, they are just beer belching fraternity guys but they have these two dissimulative practices interiorized.
Furthermore, Witkoff is a businessman who made it in that tough world. He works also with masks and reading, but his job implies taking deception, theatrics and acting to a new level.
In a war, it’s paramount to read your opponent. Take Putin. You put out feelers, to feel the other party, the opponent, is really Putin the same idiot conned by nobodies Merkel and Hollande, or that was just an isolated self-defeat?
Witkoff was just a feeler. And he felt the crap out of the Russians. Out of the Europeans, too: they pay through their noses, they destroy their own industry like there’s no tomorrow and they will still suffer a huge loss: bye bye Greenland.
Now Nabiullina and Dimitriev come into play. Nabiullina lost 300 billion dollars out of sheer stupidity (and snobbism, she tried to ape the Westerners and sit at their table, just as all complexed Russians dream). Her pathetic attempts at “recovery” (stupid arbitrage request to be discarded on a forum non conveniens defense) didn’t help, but further undermined her, since they were absolutely pathetic. Idiot Putin kept her in her place, thus completely transferring all her errors to himself. He became the joke, instead of/along Nabiullina. Dimitriev also blundered galore. He was candid with Witkoff, sent to feel the Russians. Witkoff not only correctly read Dimitriev as being very stupid, but made him draft the 28-point moronic plan that self-declared Russia as heavily defeated and getting nothing while losing big. Thus Witkoff had a written proof to convince his principals that they deal with stupidity from Russia’s part.
These two events that are huge, colossal, we’re talking about events of epic proportions, that made the Russians the laughing stock of all the world.
After feeling the Russian idiocy, the Americans felt reassured and went on to grab assets and positions and better situate themselves: Venezuela, Iran, Greenland (soon Mexico?); meanwhile Russia is still quagmired in its precarious position in an existential war.
