The world just officially entered a new Cold War.

In an unprecedented move signaling a new technological Cold War, the U.S. government has barred foreign nationals from accessing Anthropic's most advanced AI models, forcing the startup to pull them completely offline.

The U.S. Commerce Department issued an emergency export-control directive prohibiting foreign nationals—both abroad and inside the United States—from accessing Anthropic’s newly released Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models.

Strikingly, the order even banned Anthropic's own foreign-born, U.S.-based employees from using or working on the software. Facing the impossible task of selectively policing its global user base under strict federal compliance, the Silicon Valley AI company chose to abruptly disable both advanced systems for all customers worldwide.

While federal officials cited national security risks and potential safeguard bypasses as the rationale, Anthropic publicly disputed the severity of the claims, arguing that similar capabilities are already widely available on rival platforms.

This aggressive regulatory intervention marks a dramatic escalation in Washington’s efforts to treat frontier AI as a restricted, state-controlled national security asset. Analysts warn that treating commercial software like munitions could stifle domestic innovation, further accelerating a geopolitical tech race where global open-source models may soon outpace heavily restricted American systems.

Scott Jennings nailed the liberal meltdown over Elon Musk, becoming the world’s first trillionaire:

“All day long, I’ve been listening to liberals count and spend Elon’s money for him. This envy, jealousy, hatred of success. Why is it immoral? Why is it wrong for somebody in our system… to build companies, build technologies, go into space, aim to put a colony on Mars, give internet to half the world?”

The outrage isn’t about “fairness”, it’s envy dressed up as virtue.

Success that creates jobs, technology, and real progress threatens a worldview built on grievance and zero-sum thinking.

Elon Musk is the shining example of immigration done right.

A legal immigrant who came to America, worked relentlessly, took enormous risks, and built companies that deliver massive value to humanity.

Not by taking from others, but by creating wealth that didn’t exist before.

Success isn’t a crime.

It’s the American Dream in action.

Congratulations, @elonmusk, well earned. Keep building. 🚀

The Polarity Model: First Entry https://t.co/82oSnBzwsY

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

In 1986, a Texas psychologist told 46 students to write about the worst thing that ever happened to them, 15 minutes a day for 4 days straight. Over the next 6 months, those students went to the doctor half as often as the kids in the control group.

The psychologist was James Pennebaker. He repeated the experiment, and so did other labs. Same answer every time: writing about pain in a notebook was changing something inside the body. Follow-up studies found improved immune cell counts, faster wound healing after surgery, lower HIV virus levels in blood tests, and better lung function in people with asthma.

For years the mechanism was a puzzle. Pennebaker had stumbled onto a much bigger pattern than he realized. Making things of any kind does something to the body.

Take painting. A 2016 study at Drexel University handed 39 random adults some markers, clay, and collage paper and told them to make whatever they wanted for 45 minutes. No rules, no skill required. 75% of them walked out with lower cortisol (the main stress hormone) in their saliva. Beginners and experienced artists got the same drop.

Take dancing. Doctors at Einstein College of Medicine tracked 469 seniors over a 21-year period in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2003. People who danced a few times a week were 76% less likely to get dementia than people who rarely did. That was the largest protective effect of anything they tested. Crosswords came in at 47%, reading at 35%. Swimming and cycling did nothing for the brain at all.

Take singing. In 2004, researchers in Germany measured antibodies in a choir's saliva before and after rehearsal. The antibody count (the stuff that fights off colds and flu) rose significantly. A follow-up study on cancer patients and their caregivers found that one hour of group singing dropped cortisol and switched on their immune systems at a measurable, blood-test level.

And just going to see art helps. University College London tracked 6,710 British adults over age 50 for 14 years. People who went to the theatre, a museum, or a concert every few months were 31% less likely to die during that window. Even going once or twice a year dropped the risk by 14%. Wealth, education, and starting health were all accounted for.

The mechanism seems to live in a brain circuit called the default mode network, the part that wanders when you daydream. When you fall into the zone of making something, that network hooks up with the one that holds your attention, and the brain's stress system quiets down. Cortisol falls, dopamine climbs, and the slow-burn inflammation that eventually kills most of us calms down too. None of it depends on the quality of what you make.

The Spanish tweet sounded like hyperbole. 40 years of peer-reviewed data says it's roughly right.

What a day as a vaccine-injured person actually feels like, written not for pity, but because the truth deserves an honest name and vaccine injures are one of the most devastating and complex diseases out there.

You cannot describe this in a post. You cannot fit it into a paragraph, a thread, a headline. I am not writing this because I see myself as a victim. I never did. I am writing it because the people fighting what I am fighting deserve to have it named honestly, and because those who have never experienced this kind of illness deserve to understand what it actually means to live inside it.

This is every day. Without exception. For five years.

Mornings, I wake already in pain. Pain is not the problem, humans can endure an enormous amount of it, can adapt to it, can learn its rhythms. The morning is my best window and I have learned to use it. The moment the sun rises I let light into my eyes. I try to move what can be moved.

I eat my largest meal early. Eggs, steak, vegetables, fruit, salmon. By noon and evening, swallowing has become too difficult for anything substantial.

A normal meal takes an hour, every bite chewed carefully, deliberately, before I can swallow. The dysphagia is severe. There is a constant sensation of choking, a gasping for air and at times I get my attack while eating.

The Pain Itself
Trigeminal neuralgia, electrical shocks running through the face. Occipital neuralgia behind the ears and across the skull. Nerve pain throughout the ribcage. Neuropathies throughout the body. Severe chest, esophageal, and laryngeal spasms. Tongue spasms. TMJ tension that locks the jaw and sinuses, radiating into the face with a ferocity that is impossible to describe to anyone who has not felt it. Breathing that feels like concrete is packed in the lungs. Whole body pain that has no quiet hour.
When I talk for more than five minutes, massive tension builds in my lungs and throat.

Speaking, simple human conversation, becomes something that must be rationed, timed, saved. The stomach pain is severe enough to compromise breathing. The vagus nerve is not functioning. The bowels and diaphragm are to a high amount paralysed.
Disgorgement comes without warning.

When I stand or walk, the diaphragm is already under pressure. Severe muscle weakness in the legs and arms. Instability at the base of the feet. The constant sensation of being about to fall. Not metaphorically, physically. When seated it feels as if I am falling forward or backward. Standing and walking, the same.

After two to three hours of being awake, the severe fatigue arrives like a wave that cannot be resisted. It is not tiredness. It is a systemic collapse something I believe is driven by mitochondrial dysfunction and histamine dysregulation, that pulls consciousness down and forces me to lie down as fast as possible, this gets at times quite eerie. I fall asleep within of a few minutes of lying down.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

If governments were actually doing their job, this Palantir document 👇 wouldn't be a manifesto they proudly boast about, but a clear sign of the urgent need to purge its software from the public institutions it has infiltrated.

What are they saying, essentially?

They basically promote a clash of civilization worldview in which there exists a "they" - the supposed enemies of Western civilization, whose cultures the document codes as inferior - and a "we" who must stop indulging in decadent restraint and invest massively in AI weapons and defense software (which conveniently makes Palantir's product catalog the civilizational cure).

Look at point 4 for instance. They write that "the limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software."

It all rests on a pretty massive assumption: that coexistence is impossible. Why would "free and democratic societies" (by which they obviously mean Western-style liberal-democracies) need to "prevail"? Why can't they simply coexist with other civilizations or political systems out there?

Nowhere in the document do they defend this assumption: it's simply asserted as the starting condition of the argument.

But it's the entire ballgame: if civilizations and political systems can coexist - as they largely have, imperfectly but recognizably, throughout history - then the entire case they make in the document evaporates.

In fact one can argue that, studying history, the big problem was not that civilizations couldn't coexist: it was that, from time to time, one of them decided that others were inferior, threatening, or standing in the way of its rightful expansion - and acted accordingly.

So many catastrophes and so much human suffering in history trace back not to the fact of plural civilizations, but to one of them deciding it could no longer tolerate the others.

The problem, in other words, has almost always been exactly the worldview Palantir is now selling. Their manifesto isn't warning against the cause of some of the worst periods in history: it's arguing for reviving them!

Or take point 15: they explicitly call for the re-armament of Germany and Japan, and an end to "Japanese pacifism". Basically undoing one of the foundational settlements of the post-WW2 order.

I mean, think about the insanity of this for a second: a private company - unelected, answerable only to its shareholders - is casually proposing to overturn the security architecture of two continents. A settlement that took a world war, and tens of millions of dead to establish.

Why do they propose this? There is obviously a commercial motivation: a remilitarized Germany and Japan are massive new defense-software markets.

But the more troubling answer is that point 15 fits into the ideological project the rest of the manifesto lays out - a civilizational contest requires a consolidated Western bloc, and pacifist members are a liability in such a contest.

So taking a step back we now have what's the most influential defense-software company in the world, with its code deeply embedded in all the machinery of Western states - intelligence agencies, militaries, police forces, welfare systems, border controls - openly outing itself as an ideological project.

They're effectively saying "our tools aren't meant to serve your foreign policy. They're meant to enforce ours."

Because, worryingly, that's what they CAN do. Palantir software is all about basically telling states: "these are your threats, these are the people and groups to watch, these are the patterns that matter, these are the targets that warrant action."

For instance the DGSI - the French intelligence services - use Palantir (see: https://t.co/3YJk88k4QY): do you honestly think the software is warning them about, say, the NSA tapping the phones of French government officials? About the weaponization of US extraterritorial law against French companies? Did it warn them about the AUKUS ambush that cost France a sixty-billion-euro submarine contract? Obviously not.

And that's exactly what the manifesto is saying. They've positioned themselves as advocates of Western civilizational unity, so their software can't undermine it. The ideological position and the product roadmap have to align, or the whole project falls apart.

This makes their software not only deeply dangerous for the world as a whole but also, almost by definition, for any country using it. When it comes to your security as a state, it is primordial you base yourself on truth as opposed to ideology. The entire point of an intelligence agency is to tell its government what is true, not what your so-called "allies'" defense contractors would like you to see.

A state that outsources its threat assessment to a company with an explicit ideological agenda is not gathering intelligence, it is essentially subscribing to propaganda.

The conclusion couldn't be more obvious. Every government still running Palantir software in its intelligence, security, or public-service infrastructure needs to start ripping it out, now! Lest they want to be embarked on the delusional and deeply destructive clash-of-civilizations crusade Palantir has now openly committed itself to.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihteshamali]

A Nobel Prize winner spent his entire career proving that your brain lies to you constantly, and the most unsettling part is that the smarter you are, the more convincing the lies become.

His name is Daniel Kahneman, and the research that earned him the Nobel Prize in Economics was not about markets or money.

It was about the two systems running inside every human mind at all times, and why one of them is almost always in charge when you think the other one is.

Here is what he found, and why it changes how you should think about every decision you make.

Kahneman called them System 1 and System 2.

System 1 is fast, automatic, emotional, and operates almost entirely outside your conscious awareness. It is the system that reads the mood in a room before you process a single word, that flinches before you hear the sound, that forms an impression of a stranger in milliseconds.

System 2 is slow, deliberate, effortful, and exhausting. It is the system you engage when you do long division or carefully weigh a major life decision. The critical insight is not that these two systems exist. It is that System 2 is lazy by design, and System 1 runs the show far more often than any of us want to believe.

The most dangerous finding in Kahneman's research is what he called the what-you-see-is-all-there-is problem. System 1 does not pause to ask what information might be missing. It builds the most coherent story it can from whatever data is currently available, then delivers that story to your conscious mind as a conclusion that feels like it was carefully reasoned.

You experience the output of an automatic process as if it were the result of deliberate thought. The confidence feels earned. It almost never is.
This is why cognitive biases are not character flaws. They are structural features of a brain optimized for speed. The availability heuristic makes you overestimate the probability of whatever comes to mind most easily, which is why people fear plane crashes more than car accidents and dramatic rare diseases more than the conditions that actually kill most people.

The anchoring effect makes your judgment of any number heavily influenced by whatever number you heard first, even if that number was completely arbitrary. The halo effect makes your overall impression of a person contaminate every individual judgment you make about them, so the same resume gets rated more competitively when attached to an attractive photo.

The part that Kahneman spent the most time on, and that most people resist the hardest, is what he called expert overconfidence. He studied stockbrokers, surgeons, military commanders, clinical psychologists, and financial analysts people at the absolute top of their fields with decades of experience and found systematic evidence that their confidence in their own judgments consistently exceeded the accuracy of those judgments.

Experience in a domain does not eliminate cognitive bias. In many cases it amplifies it, because experts build elaborate mental models that feel comprehensive but are often just more sophisticated versions of the same shortcuts everyone uses.

The most honest thing Kahneman ever said about his own research was that writing the book did not make him any less susceptible to the biases he spent fifty years documenting. He still felt the pull of every heuristic he described. The difference was not immunity.

The difference was recognition, and the discipline to slow down in moments when the fast answer felt suspiciously easy.

Knowing that your brain lies to you does not stop the lies. But it teaches you which moments deserve a second look before you trust the story you are already telling yourself.

🔥 What Trauma Really Is 🔥

Most people still think trauma is the thing that happened… the moment, the event, the memory. But that’s only the surface of it. Trauma is what stayed behind after the moment passed. It’s the charge that never got discharged. It’s the emotion that never got to finish its cycle.

When something overwhelming happens, your system makes a split-second decision… feel this fully and risk collapse… or suppress it so you can survive. Most of the time, especially when we’re young, the body chooses survival. It tucks the experience away, not because it’s weak, but because it’s protecting you.

But nothing actually disappears.

It gets stored.

Not in your thoughts… but in your body. In your nervous system. In your tissues. In the patterns you carry without even realizing it. That tightness in your chest that shows up out of nowhere… the anxiety that doesn’t match your current reality… the way certain people or tones instantly shift your state… that’s not random. That’s stored memory without words.

Your body is holding unfinished experiences.

And here’s where most people get it wrong… they try to think their way out of something that isn’t stored in the mind. You can understand your trauma completely and still feel trapped in it. Because healing isn’t intellectual… it’s physiological.

The body needs to complete what it couldn’t complete then.

That might be a cry that never got expressed. A boundary that was never set. Fear that had to be frozen instead of released.

So it waits… sometimes for years… until you’re finally safe enough to feel it.

That’s why healing can feel like it comes out of nowhere. You’re not falling apart… you’re finally unwinding something that’s been held in place for a long time.

Letting it go isn’t about forcing anything. It’s actually the opposite. It’s about stopping the constant resistance to what’s already there. Most people don’t realize how much energy they spend every day avoiding their own feelings. Staying busy. Distracting themselves. Numbing out. Overthinking everything so they never have to actually feel anything.

But the body keeps the score.

And it keeps asking… are we safe yet?

The moment your system starts to believe the answer is yes… it will begin to release. And when it does, it doesn’t look clean or controlled. It might look like emotion rising without warning. Tears that don’t make logical sense. Your body shaking. A wave of anger or grief that feels bigger than the moment you’re in.

That’s not you losing control… that’s your system completing the cycle.

If you can stay with it… without judging it… without trying to shut it down… it moves. And when it moves, it clears.

This is where real peace starts to show up.

Not because life got easier… but because your body isn’t dragging the past into every moment anymore. You’re not reacting from old wounds… you’re responding from what’s actually in front of you.

That’s freedom most people don’t even realize is possible.

And the wild part is… your body has known how to do this the entire time. You were never broken. You were just holding what you didn’t yet have the space to release.

Now you do.

COVID was a live-action replay of the Milgram experiment.

No walls. No laboratory. No electrodes.

Just a television, a daily briefing, and an authority figure in a suit telling people what to do.

And the results were exactly the same.

For those unfamiliar, Stanley Milgram’s landmark experiments in the 1960s demonstrated that ordinary people, when placed under institutional authority and given clear instructions, would administer what they believed to be severe electric shocks to innocent strangers simply because someone in a position of authority told them to continue.

The conclusion was uncomfortable and definitive.

Obedience to authority, in the presence of sufficient social pressure, overrides individual conscience in the vast majority of people.

COVID proved it again. At global scale. In real time.

But the truly devastating part the part that I find most difficult to reconcile , was the medical profession.

Doctors. Physicians. People who spent years “studying” human biology, pharmacology, immunology, and medical ethics. People who took an oath. People who knew or had every professional obligation to know that mandating an experimental intervention, suppressing early treatment, isolating the dying from their families, and dismissing adverse events without investigation was a profound violation of everything their training stood for.

And so many of them did it anyway.

Not reluctantly. Enthusiastically.

Do as you’re told was not a private capitulation for most of them. It was performed publicly, proudly, wrapped in the language of science and responsibility and care by people who had abandoned all three the moment the institutional authority spoke.

Follow the science became the most cynical slogan of the era. Deployed not by people following evidence but by people following orders and using the language of reason to avoid the discomfort of exercising it.

Milgram’s most haunting finding was not that monsters do terrible things.

It was that ordinary people do when the structure around them makes it easy enough.

We just watched it happen again.

And the lesson, as always, is the same.

An obedient population is only as safe as the integrity of whoever is giving the orders.

Think for yourself.

Question everything.

And never under any pressure, from any authority switch off your conscience because someone told you to.

The right woman is more than just a companion - she is a force that elevates a man's essence.

When she stands by his side, she strengthens his masculinity, igniting a power within him that makes him feel unstoppable. Her love is complete and unwavering, embracing his every flaw and imperfection as part of his unique story.

She embodies his own soul purpose, radiating feminine energy that reflects her highest self. In doing so, she becomes his greatest inspiration and supporter, inspiring him to be bold, courageous, and true to his path.

The right man also creates a sanctuary where a woman feels safe, seen, and free to express every aspect of herself. He is her rock - a constant presence that reflects her light and darkness without judgment.

His love is nurturing and empowering, gently encouraging her to embrace her true essence with confidence. In his eyes, her dreams matter, her struggles are validated, and her inner strength is celebrated.

Together, they cultivate an environment where growth is mutual, where every challenge is met as a team, and where their shared journey is one of strength, authenticity, and purpose.

In this relationship, love transcends the ordinary. It is a dynamic force that fuels personal growth and mutual empowerment.

The right woman and the right man are like two halves of a whole, each bringing out the best in the other. Their relationship is not defined by superficial ideals or fleeting moments of passion, but by a deep and enduring commitment to lifting each other up.

They understand that true partnership means inspiring each other to step into the fullness of our being—to be unafraid to dream, to struggle, and ultimately to triumph together.

When you find that rare connection, you realize that love is not about losing yourself in another person, but about discovering the extraordinary potential that lies within the two of you.

SACRED ENERGY EXCHANGE

SEXUAL MAGIC

Sex at it's lowest is nothing but pure animality.

At its lowest, sex is nothing but a biological urge, a mere satisfying of lower fleshly desires.

Sex at it's highest peak is a prayer.

Sex at it's highest is a meditation.

Sex at its highest is communion with God.

Sex at its highest is the meeting of the universal soul.

Sex at its highest is the dissolving into the ocean of the infinite.

Sex at its highest manifestion is no longer sex.

At its highest, sex is the bonding together of two indivuals who are merging their energies into one divine movement and vibrating on the same frequency.

Sex at its highest is the finding and the maintaining of the same wave length with two individuals, because it's the coming together of opposite polarities forming a complete circuit.

Sex at its highest point is the uniting of the God and Goddess within Self.

I no longer have sex.

I make vibrations that ripple across the fabrics of time and space and imprint within the Akashic records, I Am.

Sex is a Sacred Energy Exchange, so be careful who you share your energy with.

SEX IS SACRED ~ TEAR THE VEIL

They told you it was casual.

They lied.

They told you it was just pleasure.

They hid the portal.

They sold you the surface to keep you from the Source.

Because sex—true, divine, sacred sex—is a holy fire.

It is not entertainment.

It is an energy exchange.

It is a union of souls.

It is a gateway to God.

Every time you merge bodies, you merge fields.

Memories.

Wounds.

Codes.

Lineage.

Intentions.

Spirits.

It all moves between you—seen and unseen.

So if you’re sleeping with someone,

you’re inviting their entire world into your temple.

You are scripting your future through sacred alchemy.

Or…

you’re fracturing your soul one shallow encounter at a time.

This is why ancient initiates kept sex sacred.

Because when two awakeneds come together,

He becomes the pillar.

She becomes the portal.

The God and the Goddess meet.

Creation trembles.

Heaven opens.

Sex is worship.

Sex is power.

Sex is divine technology.

So don’t numb it.

Don’t sell it.

Don’t waste it.

Choose partners who honor your soul.

Choose frequency over fantasy.

Choose devotion over distraction.

Choose to heal, not hijack.

Tear the veil.

Let it be sacred again.

There was a businessman whose wife was REALLY into sex...

He was a hardworking guy, and he still managed to satisfy his wife's needs.

One time, he had to leave for another country for a business meeting.

He would be gone for a week.

He knew his wife's sex drive and didn't want to take risks, so he thought he should gift her something so she could satisfy herself and didn't think about searching for a new partner, so he went to an adult toy shop.

As soon as he entered, the first thing he saw was a blow-up doll, but he soon dismissed the thought of buying it since it was almost like another human. He then proceeded to the dildos section.

There he saw all kinds of dildos, from massive to tiny to ones which glow in the dark, but none of them grabbed his interest, so he decided he would go somewhere else and began to leave the shop when he was stopped by the owner sitting behind the cash counter.

"I know what you're looking for", the owner says

This grabbed the businessman's attention, and he stopped to hear what the owner had to say.

"There was a man many years ago who looked just like you, wealthy but tired. He had a wife whom he couldn't satisfy, and she was about to leave him when he came here and got my help. He's happily married since then"

"How exactly did you help him?" asked the businessman.

The cashier bent down and revealed an engraved wooden box from under the counter.

There were all sorts of symbols on the box. He opened it, and inside it was a pink latex dildo, similar to the ones on the shelf.

"This is an ancient artefact haunted by a Maori tribe who all died of sex deprivation when all the women of their village were killed in a plague, all their souls now reside in this dildo", said the owner.

The businessman, being a sceptical guy, laughed and then turned to leave.

The owner says, "You're all the same, thinking there's nothing above this material plane of existence. Watch this."

The businessman turns around.

"Voodoo Dildo, keyhole"

To his astonishment, the businessman saw the box violently shake and the dildo rise in the air, float for a second and hover over to the keyhole in the front door and start to shag it. The dildo shagged the keyhole with such force that the door unhinged and started cracking.

"Voodoo Dildo, box"

The dildo stops shagging the door and returns to the box.

"ILL TAKE IT, cried the businessman, and after a lot of negotiation, he finally purchased the dildo and ran home.

He tells his wife about the dildo and how to use it. "Voodoo Dildo, pussy. That's how you activate it", the businessman told his wife and went on his business trip.

After 3 days of being horny, the wife finally gave in to her urges and opened the wooden box, took out the dildo and uttered "Voodoo Dildo, pussy". The dildo shot from her hands and started shagging her. First slowly and then changing speed as the way she wanted.

After an hour of shagging, the wife thought it was enough, and she grabbed the dildo to turn it off.

But it didn't stop shagging her.

Her husband had forgotten to tell her how to stop the dildo.

She started panicking and called him, but he didn't pick up, so she started to dress up and go to the hospital, all the while the dildo was still shagging her.

She got in her car and started driving.

On the way, she had a huge orgasm, and her car swerved and almost hit another car.

A cop saw this, and she was stopped at the side of the highway.

A cop approached her.

"Ma'am, you almost hit the grey SUV back there. Have you been drinking?"

The wife then proceeds to tell him all about her husband and the voodoo Dildo and that she can't stop it now.

The policeman then says,

"Yeah, right, Voodoo Dildo my ass."

This is probably the most important article of the month: an op-ed by Oman's Foreign Minister, who mediated the talks between the U.S. and Iran, in which he writes that the U.S. "has lost control of its foreign policy" to Israel.

He repeats that a deal was possible as an outcome of the talks (something confirmed by the UK's National Security Advisor, who also attended: https://t.co/XkfSpkMjCf) and that the military strike by the U.S. and Israel was "a shock."

Interestingly, given he is one of Iran's neighbors and given that Oman has been struck multiple times by Iran since the war began (https://t.co/IXNdwD6f3j), he writes that "Iran’s retaliation against what it claims are American targets on the territory of its neighbours was an inevitable result" of the U.S.-Israeli attack. He describes it as "probably the only rational option available to the Iranian leadership."

He says the war "endangers" the region's entire "economic model in which global sport, tourism, aviation and technology were to play an important role." He adds that "if this had not been anticipated by the architects of this war, that was surely a grave miscalculation."

But, he adds, the "greatest miscalculation" of all for the U.S. "was allowing itself to be drawn into this war in the first place."

In his view this was the doing of "Israel’s leadership" who "persuaded America that Iran had been so weakened by sanctions, internal divisions and the American-Israeli bombings of its nuclear sites last June, that an unconditional surrender would swiftly follow the initial assault and the assassination of the supreme leader."

Obviously, this proved completely wrong, and the U.S. is now in a quagmire. He says that, given this, "America’s friends have a responsibility to tell the truth," which is that "there are two parties to this war who have nothing to gain from it," namely "Iran and America."

He says that all of the U.S. interests in the region (end to nuclear proliferation, secure energy supply chains, investment opportunities) are "best achieved with Iran at peace."

As he writes, "this is an uncomfortable truth to tell, because it involves indicating the extent to which America has lost control of its own foreign policy. But it must be told."

He then proposes a couple of paths to get back to the negotiating table, although he recognizes how difficult it would be for Iran "to return to dialogue with an administration that twice switched abruptly from talks to bombing and assassination."

That's perhaps the most profound damage Trump did during this entire episode: the complete discrediting of diplomacy. If Iran was taught anything, it is: don't negotiate with the U.S., it's a trap that will literally kill you.

The great irony of the man who sold himself as a dealmaker is that he taught the world one thing: don't make deals with my country.
