eemed impossible, but he did it. I've got this weird optimism that if you put Jared in the room, everything changes because Jared is operating, I think, on a higher level than maybe even Witkoff. And Witkoff is operating at a really high level. Like Witkoff appears from a distance, you know, we're not in the room, but it appears to me that Witkoff is the real deal, like he's good at this. He's just maybe good with people, good with negotiating, has a lifetime of practice. But I don't know if he's Jared good. This might be the first time we've had that much skill sitting in a room for that long.

So if it turns out that they make some big breakthrough, and I'm not predicting it, by the way, but if they did, that would be further evidence that Jared is the secret sauce. I feel like he is. He's also a fresh face, so sometimes you just need the new person. You know, maybe they're just tired of Witkoff or maybe they've decided they can get one over on Witkoff, whatever they think of him. He wasn't getting it done by himself. So you add this new variable, which they probably trust that if Jared says something that Trump will probably back it. So that helps.

But so the exciting part to me is watching if the person who in my opinion is the most capable persuader, the most capable persuader. And I say that because he read my book. I'm sure it's not the only thing he's read, but he has at least that much training. And I think I could get it done. If I were there, I think I could get it done because I believe I have a skill set that's well matched to the job. And I think Jared does too. I think he has a skill set that's really well matched to this job. Now, he also has a track record with the Abraham Accords. And that matters too because if you walk into the room and you have a track record of being able to solve these seemingly unsolvable problems, then everybody starts acting like maybe it's going to be solved. Oh, we finally have a person who knows how to solve the unsolvable problems. So then suddenly people start getting flexible because they start believing it's possible. If they don't believe it's possible, they're not going to give up anything. And in order to find a middle ground, there's going to be some giving up. So would you give up something to Witkoff if you didn't think he could get it done? No. What would be the point? But would you give up something if Jared is in the room knowing that he knows how to get this stuff done? Well, now you might because you might say, "Well, I wasn't going to give this up, but I think Kushner can actually get a deal. So I want a deal. He wants a deal. All right, I'll be a little flexible." So having a track record, and by the way, Witkoff has a strong track record too. But he didn't do the Abraham Accords. So maybe. So maybe.

All right. You say some cruel things in the comments. All right, I'm going to ignore that.

There's a report that Putin made Witkoff and Kushner wait. So after they got to the Kremlin, Putin was not on site. He was giving some kind of a talk nearby and made them wait until he was good and done with his talk and then he showed up. And it's being reported that that was sort of a power play, you know, to make them cool their jets so that they know who's in charge. So first of all, they went to Moscow, so that puts them on his turf. And then he makes them cool their jets after they flew halfway across the world and he makes them wait. Was that intentional? I would say it's too hard to say. It's entirely possible that Putin is not super on time for everything that he wants to be on time for. So it's possible that Putin didn't plan it as some kind of a power play that he just maybe he just didn't have enough time to get done what he wanted to get done. So I'm not entirely sure it's the way it looks. But on the other hand, would Putin be the kind of negotiator who would do this intentionally? Yes, he would be. Yes. I don't know that he did it intentionally, but is he the personality type, the kind of training where he would have seen this as a possible way to get a little advantage? Yeah. Yeah, it's possible.

And then Putin has warned that Russia is ready to go to war with all of Europe if that's the path that the European leaders choose. And he says that Moscow has no intention of starting a war with Europe, but says if Europe ignites it, Russia will finish it off kind of quickly. Now, I hate to say it, but at this point it does not look like Europe would put up much of a fight because apparently Ukraine has the strongest military in all of Europe and they're at a stalemate with Russia. So I just don't know how much of a fight Europe would put up or NATO, I guess. So in theory, if he went after Europe, he'd be going after NATO and the US would be in the fight and there's no way he'd want that.
