Analysing different statements we are literally being bombarded with in the last couple of weeks, I can’t take out the feeling that they are all connected.

From the moment that President Trump decided to bomb Iran on February 28, until today, April 10.

As some people, I listen to those who were strong supporters of President Trump. They are pointing out that he decided to bomb Iran, not based on sovereign American intelligence, but based on foreign country officials’ presentations. He chose to trust foreigners instead of being appointed by him trustable and highly patriotic countryman. 

For forty days, America conducted bombing of the nation that did not attack, nor wanted to do any harm to her.

So, what has happened?

Listening to patriots and some of those who used to be fierce President Trump supporters like Tucker Carlson, Scott Ritter, Taylor Green, etc… plus finding out that even assassinated Charlie Kirk was against Iran bombing, one can not escape the feeling that President Trump is either blackmailed or worse, that he lost his mind. The second is not the case, but it is presented as a defence mechanism! So, we stay with the first one. Why?

Instead of concentrating on the rising American economy and using that great development to repay some of the tremendous debt, he chose to increase the Pentagon budget to 1.5 trillion $ and, as things are going now, to bring it to nearly 2 trillion! If this becomes possible and if it is done, America, unfortunately, will not have a bright future. Whatever the amounts of new investment are. It is simply not sustainable.

However, the world got more relaxed when we all learned that President Trump would not order the “destruction of civilization,” as he announced a ceasefire some hours before the deadline he proclaimed.

Then the sympathetic and energetic Pakistani PM announced that the agreement for the ceasefire was reached and that the deal includes Lebanon! After that, Israel bombed Beirut and massacred many innocent civilians! After the world outrage, we heard the explanation from the President Trump administration that it was a “misunderstanding.” What could be a “misunderstanding” was a reported call of PM to the President requesting or just informing him that he is going to instruct his Air Force to continue bombing Lebanon and particularly Beirut. It was another tragedy as bombing of the girls’ school at the beginning of the unprovoked bombing of Iran. The iching started, and the administration needed to scratch to stop it!

In the meantime, I am sure that Pakistanis were so happy that they could become a middleman in the negotiations and announce success! They managed to show to the world that their policies were deeper and wiser than those of their neighbour India. India has lost strategic influence after visiting PM Modi to Israel just a day before the surprise USA and Israeli unprovoked attack on Iran. For a couple of billions of investments and some military technology, India gambled and lost. Iran has shown that the country that invests in the education of engineers can develop their own military machine capable of sustaining the attack of two nuclear powers and still come out strategically bigger than before! It is a lesson for all the nations. Further, Russia and China showed that they do not abandon strategic partners in times of need. Especially Russia, which got Iranian help and know-how in building its drone capability! That is the message to all countries that want to have a real, strong, and most importantly, trustworthy strategic partner. This was the lesson for the USA also! That is why sanctions imposed on Russia were cancelled, and there is a huge opening in the economic cooperation between the two nuclear superpowers.

All of them should be aware of spoilers who have insidious methods to disrupt and cancel any peaceful cooperation between countries! Some extra courage to make them null and void is needed!

That is bringing me to the today statement of the highly sympathetic, very respected, and courageous First Lady Melania Trump. She delivered the statement about Epstein and her connection with him, as she said, a disgraceful person. I believe her! 

What I found crucial was her sentence at the beginning!

“The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today!”

So, today!

I am sure that before delivering her speech, she discussed it with her husband, and they both agreed that the Epstein issue needs to end today!

That is the message, if my intuition works well, which will be the “beginning of one beautiful friendship” between the current administration and all peace-loving people of the world!

I so much hope that my intuition is right!

Let’s see how things will develop.
