1. US and ISR need to stop bombing. Iran needs to stop bombing and they need to negotiate.

This is most likely just a way to calm the markets which appear to be in full freak mode - but there is a way out. Hostilities and offensive actions need to cease on all sides for a period of time. Then negotiations - this time with competent professionals not Kushner and Witkoff who cannot be trusted.

4. It's either that, or he never had any conversations and this is all bullshit.

And in the end, once again, there was never any reason for any of this.

But the futures are up 2%. His buddies made some money.

5. I seriously thought this was the Onion

or Borowitz. The first thing I did was scroll to the bottom of the original post.

With T****, give it 10 minutes, and his attention will be elsewhere. Flip-flopping used to be politically fatal, but he does it like a fish on a pier.
