e big bricks that were the only way you could make a cell phone in the early days. And so I was right in the middle of that literally in a lab which studied that stuff and other phone company stuff. And so one of my co-workers, somebody in my group was a top engineer and he was asked to study the danger from the cell phones to find out if we could really be in this business safely because it was a…

So it could be, makes me wonder if Zelensky is smart enough to know that they're six months away from being able to completely defend their border without new troops. In other words you wouldn't need many to just tell the drones to do what they need to do. So could it be that the real reason that Zelensky is sort of stalling and he doesn't want to make the deal that we all think he should make, could it be that he knows more about what the future of drone warfare looks like because they are right on the cusp of just not needing human soldiers at the front. Right at the cusp. And if they can get to that point where they just don't need any human soldiers you know except whoever is running the drones in the background, I don't know. Maybe they think that would change the nature of the war and they could at least negotiate better. I don't know.
Meanwhile according to Emily Crane in the New York Post Israel is threatening Hamas that Israel will take permanent control of some parts of Gaza if Hamas doesn't free the remaining hostages. Now they're not talking about all of Gaza but they're saying that some part of it that they would take permanent control. So what does that remind you of? Now they're not going to take all of Gaza but if they don't get those hostages they might take permanent control of some of it. That's called the cat's on the roof. So Hamas is getting the cat's on the roof story. If you don't know the cat's on the roof story I won't give you the whole story but the idea is that it's a way to gently break the bad news to somebody. You know there's a joke about the cat on the roof and blah blah blah.
But here's what I think is happening. As I've been saying for quite some time it's kind of obvious that Israel's never going to give back Gaza. It's kind of obvious that they're going to take full control of it. And I don't think they're going to say hey Trump you take control of it. I don't think so. I don't think they're going to say you know what it'd be great if Saudi and some of our friendlier neighbors like Jordan maybe control Gaza. I don't think so. It doesn't seem likely at all. It seems completely obvious to me that the long-term ownership of Gaza will be Israel and they'll just own it completely and Hamas will be 100% destroyed.
Now but I think this is just how the

y start breaking it to them. If you don't give us back those hostages, and they know they're not going to get the hostages back at least not all of them, then we're going to keep at least a little bit of Gaza. And then check back in a few months. Well you know if you still don't give back the hostages because we're not going to have them back in a few months we might take a little bit more of Gaza…
