Presidents & Precedents (Part 6)- Demagogues Vs Democracy.
Peter J Hughes
Integrated Peace Strategist, Designer, Inventor, Policy advisor. .
It’s actually vital to the world to want to protect the ideals and democratic practices in the USA. They are important for countries and people inside the USA and beyond.
So whilst President Bush wanted to bring justice to the USA for what had occurred with 9/11. Then as part of that wanted to bring democracy to more countries in the world, President Trump seemingly by recent actions is questioning the democratic process in the USA. That is probably the biggest U-turn and change in any political party in any Western democracy in such as relatively short space of time. So therefore the Democrat Party and The Republican Party Senators should speak with him and encourage President Trump to run again in future.
If President Trump has legitimate reasons for questioning the authenticity of the election then evidence should be provided. Yet, until that evidence is seen, considered and proven is he not taking away part of the liberty and justice of President Elect Joe Biden in preventing him from preparing for the transition of government?
If the White House not passing on communications from leaders of other countries to president Elect Joe Biden not in contrast to the rule book of America? The question has to be asked by doing these two actions alone is President Trump breaking his own pledge upon his own inauguration? That inauguration was sworn on a bible.
If swearing to uphold the laws of the USA and yet not doing so is that correct? Every law court in the Western world is based upon an oath on the bible and being truthful. So doing the opposite of that. Does that in some way lessen the most timely practices in terms of the creation and upholding of laws? I don’t know. I prefer it how it was, when people took an oath on a bible and they fully and completely meant that. The inauguration was public is filmed, yet what is actually occurring today four years on is in contrast to that.
So I ask challenging questions here and I do not know or have the answers myself. Yet, now is not a time for people anywhere to ignore this. These are questions that Americans should consider themselves, after all it is their country and much as so many of us around the world want the ideas and aspirations of America to work and to continue to bring hope, inspiration and a sense of fair-play to the world.
The recent implications of what has occurred are so deeply troubling to so many. This if left as it is, without President Trump taking full responsibility for the situation this is creating is undermining everything in terms of Western Freedoms, law and democracy. So if that is the case he is actually helping to prove that systems that are anything other than Western Systems are actually better. He is showing that a country based upon Freedom is not sustainable without someone within that system taking everything too far.
It is not surprising that world leaders do not know how exactly to react with this situation. I believe nobody does, there is a new script and unchartered waters every day in the USA. How does anyone react to the idea of their being any country in the world that has asserted its identity and beliefs and democracy upon the world through it’s politics, film, arts, speeches, wars, struggles and ideals and then in the space of a few days all that changes and there is a new script which nobody quite understands but sees this as the result of one man’s inability to see that in some ways they have done a good enough job in the time they have been President, yet the reality suggests with all factors considered that in terms of bringing about peace in the world they have actually done a better job than many previous Presidents and the Peacemakers of the West and the East.
The way we got to that peace was by President Trump doing his thing in his own way, given ideas, thoughts a script that he considered together and at times perhaps in contrast to what his employed experts were saying, that was put together by expanding upon the findings of wikileaks. To say that fact is stranger than fiction is as much of an understatement as saying that band aid was bigger than a jumble sale.
So if there really is a case for President Trump claiming ‘ownership’ of the US Presidency yet the vote count showing something else then how does the world react to that?
What do the rest of the world now think like? Do we actually consider that the 244 year old American idea was a dream for a moment in time and that in fact the way that other regions and countries like the EU. Asia, Russia have actually got better models of how they run their countries? That is not the case clearly, and so everyone has faith in the system of the USA to resolve this.
Is the correct thing to do to boycott this newly formed take-over of the freedom loving USA? Please US media, you present to the world you know everything of importance that is happening in the world can you please explain to how normal average people are meant to perceive the USA in these days where seemingly the whole USA freedom liberty and rights aspect is seemingly not being properly upheld for the first time in US history?
Sorry this latest one has taken the USA and all those that have had an interest in following the script for the past 244 years into uncharted waters, and down a rabbit hole that has created a contrast to everything that has been written been said of before.
This complete 360 turn-around in presented reality is a bit too much for anyone to actually understand, reconcile, or even know how to properly interpret. Does Ivanka think this is okay?
It makes no sense to me anyway that Americans all believe so much in your own idea of what freedom is and yet within a week or two can change that completely.
There are people with ‘Donald Trump forever.’ Hats. Does that not negate and contradict the USA chanting at all his rallies to date. USA is democratic elections every four years. The United States of America, one is led to assume relates to a democratically elected President for one term of four years or eight years at the most. So the phase ‘Donald Trump forever.’ If that is in the context of wanting Donald Trump to maintain power forever which is in contrast to everything that the USA, stands for.
So if the Constitution and The Bill of Rights, which would of course also include the rights of President Trump and President elect Joe Biden is not being considered. With the pledge not being accurate to the current situation with Trump Rally’s chanting something four years ago that is no longer being taken into account and fully recognised today.
The United States, namely the combined wisdom and democratic rights of all the people within those independent states all having a voice and a vote of equal value. If that is no longer upheld then the question has to be asked what is the USA today, is it a democracy or a dictatorship. If it’s the former then thank goodness for that.
Whilst yes, I do write this from a questioning perspective. I do so masking what I fear a real concern to the working principles of the USA. A country that has spent trillions protecting itself from so considered ‘outside dangers’ when the real challenge to what the USA actually stands for is being stopped and prevented by simply two words from one person. ‘I concede’.
This is not to say that within the USA they will find the answer to the current situation. I have spent thirty years looking at and devising answers to many of the world’s most problematic and challenging issues and I write all of this to highlight the concerns that I see in Washington today.
Whilst President Trump may be trying to test the system of the USA and whilst the USA may be powerful in so many ways and also admirable in many more ways too through soft power and the love, the humour the wisdom and the sense of lightness, fun and enjoyment that it has brought to the world. What we see today is ugly, scary and wrong. Any system is vulnerable if there is enough leverage put onto it. Whilst the USA may have created every type of means, way and mechanism from preventing it from being harmed from outside.
Simply having a President that thinks he can ‘play the system’ and take control of the system is actually a risk to the country. The fact is that the President is acting outside of all the norms of the USA and that is clearly creating pressures. The actions today in not giving way to President elect Biden are putting President elect Biden into an extraordinarily difficult situation it’s putting into a similar position all the people that cared enough to stand in line for many hours to vote.
So of every person that voted they did so with a belief in democracy. Yet, if that democracy and everything, every action of every President of the past that was done in order to create, prop up and maintain that democracy is being challenged, stopped and prevented by trying to play the law, in such a way that goes against the freedom loving democratic principles of the USA then there is a travesty unfolding. There is no ‘great’ America that can emerge from this. It looks like a shambles. And if that is created then I do not see how there can be a good future for the country.
So if the people of the USA have got tired of the concept of democracy, the laws, the corner stones to which the country was created and they just believe that they need someone to dictate to them, rather than having true and real interpretations of what the US constitution, Bill of Rights and the pledge actually really are meaning and saying then neither the USA nor the rest of the world are in a good place right now.
There are a great many people that have stood up for the aspirations of what the USA is about and stands for.
Europe last century lost its way and all the countries of Europe were in the greatest of danger all caused by an out of control ego of one man and people that went along with what he said. Yes, there were good and bad people on all sides, and yes there were a great many either too manipulated by him or too scared to tell the truth. Well it was the freedom loving Allies including the Americans that saved all of Europe in the end. So many Germans, French, Austrians etc believed at the time they were on the right side and yet supported a regime that brought only destruction in the end due to one mans ego.
Most of all to those that had either supported it or appeased it. Those who turned the other way. Those that saw what was happening and decided not to act and those people never had a pledge that so clearly states that it is every Americans duty to protect what America stands for.
The way that Hitler did that was by taking control of the Parliament and then blaming this group or that group of people for all the wrongs in the country. When in actual fact the real cause of Germany’s problems at the time was not this group of people or that group of people. It was in fact the bad deal that Germany had got after WW1. The cascade of issues, circumstances and conditions led to a dictator taking a central place in power. This then led to a great tragedy for many people especially the Jewish people. The horrors that people in the 20th Century went through is due to there not being enough voices at the time for peace.
When it is considered that President Trump has put in to power what he considers his choice into the Supreme Court.
Whilst I do believe that President Trump has done good work on the International stage, Hitler did not, although he began the first European Vegetarian society. Without Hitler we would not have Volkswagen’s. So whilst he created a car for the people the place he took his own people to was tragedy in the end together with a great many Americans, Canadians, British, Indians, Italians, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, Algerians, French, Polish, Czechs, Burmese, Thais, Malays, Singaporeans, Egyptians, Greeks, Norwegians, Danish, Dutch, Irish etcetera. The ego of one man against his own legal system created all of this. I cannot think of any other example in what was a free democratic society where the laws and the legal process got so manipulated other than the example of Germany. The people were pulled into a situation they bought into partly, could not get out of and only when it was all over realised just how wrong all of it had been. The protection of any countries legal democracy is more important than any leader, if we have not learned that from so much tragedy in Europe then we have learned nothing really of any significance in the past one hundred years. Systems, free democratic systems have to be protected. Questioning the results of an election is a really, really big deal and if there are major faults in the system these have to be found. If there are minor faults then this is inevitable to some extent and the question has to be asked with the faults known of would the result have been massively different. If the answer is no then the correct course of action is to protect the system of free and fair voting. A person that lined up for ten hours to vote deserves their vote to be known and counted whoever they voted for.
For Americans what to do in a situation like this is written into your laws better than in any country. So there are so many ways that leaders can play politics and play people too. I’m not saying that this is happening in the USA or anything like it. However, all freedom loving people have to be aware of how fragile their free societies can be under the wrong conditions and if there is not freedom then there is oppression.
The USA, the proper USA as it is a freedom committed country that believes in democracy saved Europe last Century. Europe went a very long way to saving itself too and that has to be fully remembered, however a chain of events occurred that weakened the voice of reason.
The USA helped save Europe from itself, its own pressured and manipulated people, however now the boot is on the other foot and the USA needs to ensure that the fair democracy that it is wins. It either needs President Trump to save it or it needs its own democratic system or the media. To show all Americans exactly what the US law states and what could be occurring. During Thanksgiving and during Christmas dinner, no doubt American households will be inevitably discussing what has been occurring and be aware that holding an election is one norm, challenging the result of that is something else, not presenting valid evidence of the contrary, nor listening to the rulings of the Supreme Court is another.
It needs people to say look at the laws, and norms look at where this situation could go and then look back to your own law papers and documents and take everything back to where it should be.
Do not listen to outsiders as much as you listen to your own thinkers of ages gone by. Listen to their wise words and instigate and apply their thinking. All the answers for the USA are already there in the USA.
According to what is written it is the duty of every American to uphold the ideals and vision of the founding fathers of America. That is a job not only for Democrats nor the Republicans but all of the people.
In fact both sides should realise that their own interpretation of what’s right and good come more from the documents that create the nation than from their own parties manifesto. So if the Constitution is read, applied and considered by Americans themselves and by President Trump the answers of how to position in this situation are actually in many ways clearer to American citizens and I write this knowing that this is already known.
Leadership
A chef is only as good as the meal he just made. A commander in chief is only as good as the last decision made. With so many weeks prior to the inauguration of the next President. There is still so much that can be done in a positive way and lets hope it really is.
I agree with Republican Senator Mitt Romney that contesting the election result is unwise for democracy. It’s actually a bigger issue than simply the internal politics of the USA. The affects of the US Presidential election is possibly the largest influencing factor on the rest of the world.
The Paris Climate Accord stalled for four years as a result of non engagement with that. In those four years we have seen hurricanes, tornado’s, typhoons, fires affect entire countries in ways not seen just four years ago. We have seen the largest iceberg in history reducing the migratory routes of entire species. We have seen a rise in refugees due to the combined effects of wars, desertification and famine. In addition, we have seen a poorly prepared humanity trying to cope once against with yet another, yet another, yet another, yet another overwhelming environmental crisis. That is whether it is the people of Texas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Kansas or whether it is the Outer banks where Europeans first arrived. It is the same all over the world and yet there are realistic answers that President Trump could instigate and help all people with.
There is crisis that has affected the living and working environment for all of us. It is not just the fault of this President but of a great many world leaders in the decades gone by that have put humanity into a position of not being fully ready for either the natural disasters of today and of Covid19.
So the gains to economy obtained by not ignoring the environment in some areas have been lost in other areas. This however, President Trump has offered one very highly effective answer for, although this has not been instigated yet. That is the trillion tree program. In his last months as President he could instigate this program and I outlined in brief here how that is possible, together with other measures. When you look to the Apple tree example, by planting trees that provide economic gain to people they can at the same time be planting trees that provide the most environmental gain.
Each one of them can provide the greatest short term boost to the economy and also provide the greatest long term benefit to the economy ever left by any President in US history
. Planting the seeds of what can create more than one hundred new future industries. Reduce the need for the USA to import from abroad enable people to become once again much more self sufficient in their own country with the resources of the USA and therefore, have less need to import and be so dependent upon abroad for resources, jobs and wealth whilst helping in an unequivocal way rebalance the global 50% loss to the worlds environment.
The practice of bringing the troops home, and stopping and reducing wars in other countries can be equalled by instigating new employment in the USA that creates new jobs and employment for service men and women once they return.
CNN asking why other leaders are commenting and not commenting on the US election.
CNN asking and trying to interpret why leaders of other countries are commenting or are not commenting on the result of the US election is naive. Here is the answer CNN. You have spent four years continuously against President Trump any gains he made that were world changing gains you ignored. Any way to undermine his you did. Due to that he is feeling misrepresented and due to this he is protesting in his own way. Whilst leaders in the world know the benefits that have been created you weak investigative media reporting has helped create an impasse and so today President Trump is acting a way that may seem illogical, yet there is some logic to that. If you treat someone as bad and wrong all the time then they do tend to play that out. So with the vast difference between what has occurred and what has been reported, the truth is there is a balance in the world of politics and diplomacy and obviously world leaders are reluctant to tip the balance as they should be ad so CNN better to start really presenting the Trump Presidency in terms of peace making in a truer and clearer way and then perhaps the President will not seem so upset. He may even concede to Joe Biden, world leaders will no longer be in the difficult position into which they have been put and there will be some normality that returns to US politics and continuity to improved peace making. We are seeing CNN the end of a cycle of decades of wars that all media channels partly encouraged and created and now there has been a gradual yet steady winding down of those. So just because you got it wrong the first time and did not present as effectively as you could have a narrative for peace. Just because you delayed 48 hours the voice of protest against the wars. Just because you under counted the opposition to those wars.
Today do not cover up any longer how those wars have been stopped and the good work President Trump has done in that or you are simply a pawn of war mongrels. You are asking pathetic and naive questions and by doing so trying to put other countries into a difficult position as you are too dishonest to report properly what has occurred with peacemaking. Whilst you prop up your channel with eco this and eco that. All of that requires peace and stability in the world so CNN start reporting the truth properly about the peace making successes of the Trump Presidency. CNN and all the media channels not properly reporting on the successes of peacemaking and only reporting on war making are not a part of the answer to stopping wars and bringing back troops to their home countries. They provided tens of millions of hours to the senslessness of wars and their effects and have provided almost zero coverage to peace making. If you want to know why the world is at war then ask the editors that say peace is un-newsworthy and only war is news-worthy. Well when that all manifests in terms of protests outside of your offices then do not be surprised. Start covering peace or do what you can for world peace and leave your job.
The media questioning why International leaders are not responding.
Whilst the media are questioning why is it that some leaders in the world have not congratulated Joe Biden. They have endeavoured to push this issue. It is actually completely ironic as when foreign leaders do get involved in another countries election they are chastised and now if they don’t then the media asks why they are not getting involved. So much so thousands of hours have been wasted on questioning if outside interference has occurred, yet when it does not occur they report that something is missing.
There is clearly still a dialogue going on and in the name of diplomacy it is best that America decides fully. Expecting other countries to make comments is actually trying to force a position onto countries and for more than twenty four hours CNN has had a lead article questioning the reactions or the lack of reactions from other leaders. All that should be said is that clearly all leaders do care very much so who the next President is, however trying to get countries to choose sides now is unrealistic.
The USA’s closest Allies have spoken on this, other countries that for the past thirty years have not been so aligned to US policy have refrained from making comment. That is of course understandable however, each and every country will certainly care very much who the next President is, yet expecting every country to take a position on this when the situation is not fully answered and resolved, yet with having to deal with their own politics CNN should be asking the questions to Americans as it’s first and foremost an American issue. An issue and the answers to how to answer the issues are within the US legal system. What do American citizens think about the election is much more important than what any foreign person thinks about the US election.
The American System is being tested like never before to resolve the election situation.
It’s really up to the American people and the American political system to decide who is President. It is also up to the President, The president Elect, The Republican Party, The Democratic Party and every American that has ever sworn allegiance to the country to make their own mind up.
The USA effectively has two narratives running one of The President elect and the other of the outgoing President. The media seeking to put other leaders into the which narrative do you ‘vote for’ scenario is incorrect and whilst there has been a situation of leaders of countries that have not congratulated Joe Biden being reported as in some way siding with President Trump. That is not the case in most legal situations people have the right to remain silent. It is not the leader of other countries that are being tested and considered it’s the leadership in the USA.
Let’s be clear that the media should not drive politics. Yet, it does like in the example I cited above in terms of the reporting on the narratives for wars and not for peace and more so than that it should not add any pressures to International relations. That is particularly so when they have been wasted copy for the best part of ten years on the very issue of foreign governments interfering in elections. If any of the Presidential candidates believe that there is something untoward in US elections held in the USA then that is what the media should be considering and properly assessing.
It is the beliefs of Americans that should be heard and questioned. President Trump and President Elect Biden both care about what the American people think. They both care about the people and the country. They both want to see the people of the USA have a good future, they both want to see the end of the pandemic. Whilst they may have differing visions of how that is possible. The work that I produce I do so in the hope that it can find middle ground and provide answers not for some Americans but for all Americans and as a result of that actually be of service to stability and peace nationally and internationally.
Making America Great Again. Holding that vision in a United Way.
I have written before that there is today a United States of consciousness. Two differing perspectives and yet there is middle ground. If people look to their differences they debate if they look to the common group they discuss. For every discussion that is had someone obtains something from that and in fact both sides can find some things to agree upon in many cases. As was achieved previously so many times before when mature people talk and want to find resolution and some stability.
The future of the USA from where it is today should be good. There are ways to help the people of all origins that have felt under valued. There are ways to create new employment for all. There are ways to tackle the virus in new and feasibly better ways. There are ways to reduce the dependency upon foreign imports, to become more food secure, to uplift the most forgotten parts of cities, to add opportunity to where there has been desperation, to create new centres for people to find new opportunities, to do so whilst regenerating the environment. By doing all this this does add to the health of people, it does enable people to feel better about themselves and their communities and therefore it does reduce crime. This in turn increases a sense of belonging and security for all. To be able to create an Integrated Plan that does all this and much more, the much more being to rovide new answers for people that have lost their homes due to natural disasters for companies to be better able to adapt due to the pandemic and stay in business for companies to have a new purpose that links them to people to provide new incomes and industries and innovation from issues that have always been seen as if they are problems like the great pacifica garbage dump. There are answers to all of this and more. There are not answers to everything or even most things to begin with mostly the categories I write above. So the above can be a meeting pint a half way house between the Trump administration and the Biden administration and interim agenda. An agenda that helps all Americans really see the progress that President Trump made and then helps align all of those gains towards a better future under President Biden. If President Biden does not effectively build upon all of that then a re-elected President Trump can return in the next election if selected. However, the idea that there are various narratives running in the USA and there are potentially answers to the many issues that are close to both he right and the left is concerning. There can be a half way point and I write this in the hope that it is seen, considered and believed in enough to be really possible and feasible. Every country has political differences between one party and the next and yet it is the willingness and the desire to see that the vested interest in the country as a whole is so much greater than the parts that make up that country.
So really let’s hope that both President Trump and President Elect Biden do realise and understand the nature of the predicament that all leaders are in and so too do the US media. So whatever is said of the last US election by outside parties, outside of the USA including everything I write here is of far less consideration and substance than what is decided within the US constitutional framework that the country operates within. The USA itself is the only place that this can be resolved. Yet, I and evidently a great many others, probably the vast proportion of the world’s population do not want the instability of the USA not in agreement.
So what’s my view?
A USA that is so un-united is not good. It is not good for the USA. It is not good for international relations as there are ripples and waves affecting all.
At a time of heightened insecurity in the world due to Covid19 particularly this is an issue that requires answers fast. The medical aspect of the pandemic is one aspect. The business and employment side another aspect. The implications to how people feel themselves inside themselves another. All of this has to be taken into consideration. All of this requires ever improving answers.
The US law makers should realise that this is a completely unique situation and that it should be resolved in days more so that weeks. The USA having one legitimate leader on the world stage and a process that leads towards that in the most expedient time frame possible is the only right course of action, the only course of action the USA has known. Learning from the UK. If in doubt look to how we solved something like this in the past.
However, when there is the occasional time where there is not past example then look clearly for better answers to those of the past. What we learn from hindsight is that pandemics do strange things to societies. They cause a sense of things being out of control. They require being actually very smart indeed in riding the waves that such circumstances have created so many times before in the past. Whilst this is not in living memory of how to best respond to a major pandemic and all of it’s implications.
What we can know for certain is that every time it has happened before firstly people, got through it eventually and secondly nobody or system was exactly the same after they came out of it as to it was when they went in. So in the context of the USA today. It has to be acknowledged that President Trump nor any of his advisors ever had all of the answers. They did have some and yet he was reliant upon his experts and his experts did not have all the answers either. So what has to be acknowledged is that to get through this virus was always going to be a process and that that process had to be gone through in a way that was never going to be the perfect way. Yet in the same breath the nature and power of now should be to look at the possibility of improved answers, which I believe my work provides some answers to and get this information in it’s entirety fully heard and discussed.
Referencing again to the mistakes of the past to learn here and now.
A balanced and unified country under any leader is better than what sometimes appears to the outside to resemble something akin to the last days of ancient Rome. Or for that matter the fall of the Incas which as covered in an earlier document occurred due to their being a dual narrative. IE the Spanish Conquistadores are Gods, and the Spanish Conquistadores are invaders. I partly pre-empted what could occur in previous documents. The reality is that a country with a divided unresolved narrative, not in terms of differing opinions about issues within politics, that is healthy, yet when it is in the context of who is actually in charge of the country then the country is putting itself into a vulnerable position.
The lack of clarity with that one question for the Incas caused the end of the largest empire there has ever been in the Southern Americas which was larger than they Roman Empire. So dual narratives in any country, empire or system create a vulnerability for a country and yet no country wants the USA vulnerable. They want to see the country united again. In a good position and making good decisions that assist in resolving issues both in the USA and with other countries. They want to see the peacemaking abilities of the USA be better than at any time in the past.
The decision to contest the election in my view by President Trump is not good. Whether it is valid or not is actually only part of the discussion. Democracies are the best form of freedom based rule there is. The largest democracy has always resolved it’s issues within the country.
By the largest democracy not being able to resolve issues within the country today brings into question the concept of democracies. Any leader that puts their own interest before the interest of the country should not be in a position of leadership as it always ends badly for all the people. I do not need to roll off a list of names here, however what the USA has to consider is this that if the country has one person that is standing in the way of the electoral process then the country is not the same country it has been in its 244 years of existence. If this really is the case then the Trump Presidency has not made the USA Great Again. It has actually changed what the USA actually is.
So looking at this if President Trump is refusing to leave government is not good. What is good and totally justifiable however, is that the honest reality is that throughout the time of President Trump being in office, no President in the USA’s history has been so put down by the press on a constant basis.
Yes, some of that was justified, no not all of it was justified at all and it has been a type of bullying that has gone on. There has been an underlying reality of oh what’s next. Whilst I say again some of that was justified what really frustrates me though is that it is the same media that put such an emphasis on going off to war in so many countries and in instead of properly acknowledging the peace that has been getting made, they have been either ignoring this or reporting it for one or two days and then forgetting it. The media campaign that went with ‘Shock and Awe’ was continuous, every single day for year upon year. The media coverage on the peace making in the Koreas lasted not longer than a day or two. The implications of what could have gone wrong in the Koreas in comparison to anything previously is minimal. So when it is considered just how much media coverage has gone towards the creating of wars and how little to the creating of peace every editor of every media outlet should be accountable to this. Some of the greatest peacemaking since before the invention of the telex machine has happened on their watch and they have looked the other way. Just in the same way that people looked the other way in the 1940’s in Europe.
The fact that so few media commentators have ever ask their interviewees questions like how do you think it’s possible for President Trump to build upon and improve the peace in this situation? How can we make this peace deal better for these people and for those people. How can we find a middle ground to this. How are other countries in the world helping to leverage peace. The fact that all of that and so , so so much more is left completely out of the narrative of all western media outlets shows unequivocally that they have been very much a part of the problem in terms of peace building world wide.
So when that peace building has been a central theme to the Trump Presidency and yet the media focussed for months on asking the question were the American elections affected by other countries. Then they ask why the very same leaders that they question in this way are not making judgements about the results of the last election. It seems clear to me that the press in the way in which they have been writing their narratives and their scripts should change their format. Rather than tying to prescribe how they think the Presidents of countries should be. They would be better off actually looking at what they have been doing, how between them they have been seemlessly helping resolve issues and give thanks and appreciation to the leaders for that. One particular example of this is when Vice President Pence went the next day to meet President Erdogan of Turkey. That meeting was one of the most important meetings of the entire Trump Presidency. The issues between Turkey, Syria, Israel, Russian and the USA were at a cross roads like no other in history. The urgency at which Vice President Pence reacted over night to the situaion and flewto Turkey ad the negotiations behind closed doors with President Ergodan were clearly were clearly instrumental in maintaining an order of world peace. Clearly President Trump would have been a part of that incredibly urgent decision that was made. The stepping back and allowing Russia to position itself between Syria and Israel in Syria and then for Israel and Turkey to agree to that and to go with that are they types of telepathic diplomacy that has occurred and has shown that all of these leaders, although very different in a great many ways and men that do not share the same agendas were all brilliant and I say brilliant and mean brilliant leaders in that situation and actually had any other sequence of events occurred I would not be writing this today and you would not be reading this today.
The fact is that when President Putin has needed to be there in order to solve issues he has been there and the presence of Russia stepping in clearly calmed and resolved issues. Yet not once did the mainstream media nor alternative media properly recognise the significance of how Russia played an essential role in bringing calm.
I provide three examples. 1. The Korea’s. 2. Syria. 3. Azerbaijan and Armenia. The same is true with China in the context of the Korea’s and Indian and Pakistaan.
President Trump due only to his way of making what had been ineffective relationships effective relationships wish countries and leaders who had been not for years previously been allies of the USA find ways to eithr come to the table or to effectively fill the vacuum left by the USA not engaging in certain situaions. He generally was able to work with people that he may not agree with on everything. There were results that maintained International stability not acknowedged or considered by commentators and circumstances where he had been incredibly wise to either help resolve or stand back from situaions and enable Russia toenter into or act as a compliementary mediator in. However, in contrast President Trump’s predecessors may likly not have done ths o Yet by President Trump or Internationally make have put ‘America’s interests first’ from a national perspecive abroad and actually caused any one or all of the situaions above to have worsoned.
So the stepping back of assuming responsibility for some incredibly fraught International issues enabled the Trump administration to align to the cocept of America first, yet that was also actually putting International peace making and calm first too. There was the very wise delegation of power in certain situations. The interplay between the USA, Russia and China in the context of an entire sequence of situations provided the means and waysto peaceful resolve on various occasions.
President Trump has very well enabled the USA to remain out of situations and as a result has actually facilitated peace in ways that no other President ever has. The use of my work in any International situation has contributed towards a more peaceful outcome being obtained where all parties gained either a very significant win as a result of the improved situation.
The very fact that some US media news channels do not cover this is due to the fact that they are still upholding an outmoded model of the world, whereby the USA has to be the centre stage and do not allow for the . Yet, the reality is actually very different. President Trump positioned the USA in a way that allowed for the country which was a rival to the USA under President Obama, Russia to actually help resolve really pivotal issues. So when the media then pathetically report on President Trump being friends with these ‘dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un’ the absurdity of it all is actually quite unbelievable in reality as if it wasn’t for the skills of diplomacy of either one of these leaders or both of them, the willingness to actually allow for the improving of situaions from one administration to the next the world would be in a much more precarious place today.
It shows clearly that the media in many respects have actually no concept at all in how real diplomacy has actually been working behind the scenes and how and why President Trump is actually one US President that has through both taking action and consciously not taking other actions has actually enabled there to be peace realised in so many parts of the world where other decisions made could otherwise have gone so otherwise horribly wrong. Whilst I do not want to paint the Trump Presidency in an unrealistic way and I certainly feel that so much more could have been done to make peace in various situations either better or in a way in which there was a win-win or more of a win-win. When it came to the really cruciial decisions to pull back and not to go forward into a major war he succeeded more in this. He did look at the whole situaion and all the implications in ways that neither the left Internationally nor the right in the USA really fully and properly assensssed. The right did not assess it as they were more focussed from a national US perspective of brining troops home. The left did not full consider this as they were hearing the words President Trump was saying and yet not properly considering the outcomes, actions and results.
Let’s just play that one out for a second. If Vice President Pence had not gone to that immediate next day meeting in Turkey, then this is probably what would have played out. Israel and Turkey would have engaged against each other. Russia with so many troops inside Syria would have been forced to pick sides. The USA, Russia, China, Israel having backed various sides within Syria would not have known which side to support yet would have supported sides. The USA would have most likly supported the Kurds, Turkey opposed to the Kurds, Russia due to supplies of weapons Turkey. The European Union and NATO caught between supporting Turkey or Israel, The USA Israel. China in that situation who knows. The whole of the Syrian situation could have created a political cacophony the like of which has never even closely been seen in all human history. Quite simply it could have put the thirtiest strongest countries in the world all against each other. There could have been a complete unfolding of events and alliances that could have been so incredibly complicated that before anyone had ever figured out which country is allied to which country there could have been complete and total mayhem created. There are actually only two factors that prevented that. Factor 1. Vice President Pence going to Turkey. 2. A favourable meeting with Turkey that then led to Russia positioning itself between Turkey, Israel and Syria. So the full and true media analysis of this to the wise decisions made by the Trump administration to this have been essentially non-existent.
I’m going to again mention the Koreas. I’m also going to mention Iran. Whilst I did write a peace strategy document to that President Trump called off airstrikes against Iran on that day. However, there were targeted airstrikes in Iraq and that course of action I completely disagreed with as peace can only happen by discussions and negotiations. It would have been better, more logical to have returned to negotiations in any case. Not having what considered is a good peace deal is not a reason to have conflict, it’s reason to find a way to make everyone feel much more secure by making the peace plan more complicate and involved. I had written a document on this previously, yet this was not taken into consideration. When this situation occurred I realised that my work was only one perspective being considered in the making of decisions.
I believed that then and do so now and had no say at all in what occurred. I simply provided a way to peace and explained the implications which would have been far and wide of not making a real concerted effort towards peace. I hope the situation improves and believe that this is possible if efforts are made.
However, Iran thank goodness did not retaliate to what had occurred. That the world should be appreciative to Iran’s leadership for this and now that there has been another assassination it is clear that there is provocation towards Iran. Iran is a country which actually has fifteen land and sea borders. I believe the stability of Iran as a country is one of the most important stabalizing factors in the world. Peace with Iran maintains the world order for a very substantial area, possibly the largest area in the world where there has been stability and peace for decades. Any wrong move against Iran could undo the good peace work and best intentions of so many.
Iran is a country which spans from Pakistan to Russia. Saudi Arabia to Turkmenistan, Turkey to Iraq. A conflict in Iran would have disrupted The Middle East, Asia and Europe, and could have divided the Muslim world into two and that would have affected more or less every country in the world. George W Bush and his advisors would have been well aware of this and his best ever decision was to maintain peace with Iran.
So President Trump pulled out of attacks directly and yet doing so in Iraq was in my opinion wrongly advised and considered. Iran did not retaliate and yet no media presented this from the perspective that there had been a peace deal under the Obama administration and if that in the opinion of the Trump administration is not good enough then the deal should have at least been attempted to be improved in my opinion. To maintain a situation of these actions against the leadership of Iran is wrong and the EU which was also part of the original deal should in my opinion could in future seek to obtain a better and improved peace deal. This could also come about by a future Biden administration or by President Trump if he listened just to my methodology on this possibly.
Again, the Western media did not at all pick up properly on any of this, on hw it’s possible to improve the peace deal that the Trump administration did not like. This again shows that by not overing peace deals and peace making in any way properly at leat fifty percent of the reason for their being such difficult relations between leaders is actually a dereliction of duty by the press. They are so keen to cover conflicts from every perspective and yet do not cover peace making and potential peacemaking from almost any perspective. They simply follow on the sequence of events that occur and can occur simply due to the fact peaceful ways that enable all countries to feel more safe and secure do not ever get properly covered or considered. Again I cite that tens of millions of news hours have been spent in the past twenty years covering conflicts and really not even a single hour is on television of how there can be peace actually, potentially made. By them remaining silent of potential ways to peace and how peace has actually turly been brought about and the people in involved in this peace making from various perspectives not represented not only are there many more lives list, there is in some cases injustices that are occurring.
Whilst President Trump could have tried to extend a hand to Iran to have tried to reconcile differences that have gone on since the 1970’s he did not. This would most likely have been brought about by a press considering more widely what the peace options actually were. It’s highly likely, almost a certainty that President Trump would have been listening to various opinions and whilst he took my paradigm on stopping a war, took another’s view on not holding back completely.
However, by pulling back from actually attacking Iran President Trump prevented what would have been an unstoppable war and without any doubt the most substantial refugee crisis in history from occurring.
This would have been substantially greater than that of the past fifteen years. A refugee situation that would have affected so many countries that it would have made a significant proportion of the world entire population people without a homeland and potentially as transient as man has been since the founding of continents as found in archaeological evidence of tens of thousands of years ago. Rarely do modern thinkers consider there is a history, a pre-tribal history for almost all of mankind to be transient.
A situation could have occurred, which would have later done exactly the same as the involvement in Libya did which was to provide a refugee route from Africa to Europe. The same would happen with Iran by creating a refugee route from central Asia, The Indian Subcontinent, Southern Asia, South East Asia directly to Europe.
So whoever is provoking Iran is effectively destabilizing Europe as much as Iran. By doing so they are actually destabilising the entire Western world as America’s position in the world is very much due to the position and stability of Europe. What’s actually occurring is that they are putting into the hands of Iran the fate of Europe. If Iran retaliated in a substantial way and there was a war then there would be new destinations for refugee smuggling gangs opening up in many new parts of the world. It woudl create a situation where more countries outside of Cnetral and South America alone have a refugee crisis than countries that do not.
If there was a vast massive transit of people from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Miramar, Indonesia and Central Asian countries directly into Europe then the European Union would not be able to sustain that.
Sanctions placed on Turkey put Turkey as well into a position of having a position of control over the EU if there is a war in Iran. So I have put into my documents that the EU should do what it can to ty to maintain the best relations with Iran and make a deal with Turkey in order to help solve the refugee crisis of Syria and in Europe too. It is so much better of the EU and Turkey to be on good terms.
However, the Iran issue adds another complication to the EU and therefore, I believe it’s important that the EU does support the continuation for a new peace deal with Iran. If there was a war there then the new geo political positioning in at least fifty countries in the world. The EU as a block would get affected on a scale never known before. This would cause splits in countries and countries would seek to protect their own borders which actually works against the concept of membership of the EU. So the EU block would likely change or could even collapse entirely. The USA without the block support of the EU would be alone in terms of it’s closest Western Allies of it’s entire history. The USA has always had a strong ally in Europe throughout it’s entire history, if there was chaos in Europe, the USA would be in a worse situation than it ‘s ever been in before. The disruption to the USA is incalculable. However, China and Russia, South American and Africa would all become stronger in the world as they would be more united as countries than the EU, Middle East and the USA. The change in this positioning would affect Israel negatively too, why? Asia is so close to the USA due in part to Europe’s stability. A USA without the support of Europe, with less support of Asia, creates too much of a rapid change in the world for there to be security anywhere, International relations would have gone from being solid and reliable to being filled with rapidly changing agendas of individual countries as they all endeavour to keep up with their own unique sets of circumstances and changes in an ever to rapidly changing world.
If the EU is split due to internal issues with refugees, if the USA is affected by what occurs in Iran as so many in the USA are either of Iranian ancestry or are either Sunnies or Shias, as other countries on the borders of Iran are from both groups. The EU and the USA could end up in situations where they are so immersed in their own domestic issues as a result of anything that occurs in Iran that they are not in a position to have wider influence to help or have involvement in other countries. Essentially what have been the best and most clearest and allied countries since the second world war in terms of policies could all end up simultaneously having internal issues that make them ineffective together as blocks and units that have been known and depended upon in recent decades. A policy for not making peace with Iran is actually a policy to distabalize the word, yet the west would be the most affected by this.
So the ongoing peace process with Iran, an ongoing arrangement with Turkey and Syria in the context of refugees and providing a new safe place for people to return too is absolutely essential in the short and medium term to ensure peace and security on a near complete global scale and certainly with the values and ideas of Western democracy and cooperation taken fully into account.
The actions and reactions that I write about in my documents have occurred so much, where the actions of going into a situation are the only actions in part considered. Like a child poking a lion to try and get a reaction. There really is the chance that unless the world get very, very much better and more honest with making peace deals and puts real effort into this and stands up for those people trying to make peace, then the entire concept of what it means to live in a civilized world could be irreparably lost altogether. Whilst in hindsight it could be considered that this could occure due to the decisions and actions of leaders, the real truth is this could occur primarily due to the fact that there really is not enough interest in the world in how the quality of peacemaking has been and is actually really occurring. It is more what is not being said that is the most precarious aspect of human development now as much as what is being said. So therefore every person working either for the media or for the government has a duty whether they realise it or not to insist and ensure that there is the proper awareness and coverage given to peacemaking. The non proper consideration of how peace deals have been and are being made today, tomorrow could cause entire cities and countries to fall. This really is feasibly the case.
There could be a degradation that occurs in a domino effect way that nobody can stop unless the utmost caution is used today and the means and ways of making peace are fully, properly considered, known and discussed fully in the media. For the press to put COvid19 into second place for a week or two would actually be appropriate to just how much of a need there really is to properly consider and discuss what exactly has really occurred in the world and just how close we have been to not being able to charter the world we inhabit back into good relations in recent years. I’m not going to say that this was all President Trump’s doing as it was certainly not. It was effectively a team effort between many leaders that realised the situation we are going into.
Whilst I use rational logic derived from considering potential outcomes to actions and reactions and how the geo-political landscape could likely shift and adapt a result. Can my considerations be taken seriously in the context of other theorists that used other means of making predictions, some of which are not fully appreciated or known, in the context of the need for bringing peace to Iran?
If you study the writings of two of the most well known and accurate prophets and mystics of the past. Baba Venga and Nostradamus both say that it is possible to change and alter events with good decisions made. However, they both talk of the fall of Europe. How that could occur is by divide and rule politics occurring the most likely cause of that is an uncontrollable refugee crisis, the most likely cause of that is anything other than the escalation of a new real and true peace process with Iran.
However, also a deal with Turkey over the refugee situation is also clearly important, in my mind essential. So this is in the interests both of the EU and the USA. So all I can say is that whoever is disrupting Iran clearly does not have the interests of world stability in mind or is not looking clearly at all the potential implications. However, if they do then they are clearly misguided or actually imbalanced in their thinking to being a complete danger to the world as we know it.
The ability to be able to start peace processes is vital and there really have to be many more, a great many more voices in the world on all levels of government and media wanting, asking and demanding peace. That is just in order to keep the world more or less as it has been in our lifetimes. That is the only way to a good future for any of us.
There is no wisdom or security obtained by assassinating Iran’s nuclear scientist as Iran has more than enough funds to find others, yet the value and price of talks is the only real currency that can provide stability peace and a good future for Iran and so many other countries too. So politicians on all sides of politics should condemn the terrorist attack in Iran and speak out for a peace plan, a new peace plan with Iran.
So the security and the peace process with Iran is essential for maintaining the position of both the EU, USA and I believe many countries that border Iran.
The fact that President Trump pulled back from an attack on Iran saved the USA and the EU from the most disruptive changes ever to those regions. The very fact that the EU is actually so vulnerable to any more disruption by any more actions against Iran puts it very much in the interest of the EU to use any and every diplomatic means today to try to maintain or re-create a peace deal.
This could have turned what was once the silk root for trade into a route for refugees. However, whilst President Trump pulled back from this in contrast to what some of his advisors may have said. We all should be appreciative of this decision. Iran is a very important country with or without the consideration of any weapons simply due to it’s geographical location and yet there is so much more to that.
Whilst the Obama era deal was not the best deal and that I do agree with President Trump on that. However, to have not created a war was a good move, however the best move in my opinion would have been to have created and nurtured good relations and to go back and renegotiate a better deal. Leaving the peace deal ambiguous whilst there have been now two assassinations is not wise.
A deal better both for the USA and for Iran, which I believe was certainly possible given the vast land resources of Iran and the requirement for the whole world of being able to have such vast tracts of land in order to negotiate both other peace deals as well as a resource for the wider world in terms of dessert regeneration.
So whilst President Trumps position on Iran was in alignment with the Dove peace plan I sent by not attacking Iran. The later decisions he made I believe he must have been influenced by others as my work is for peace through talking. It is peace work. What he did though to some extent was again prevent a situation from spiralling out of control which otherwise without a single doubt presented a global threat. Ie a threat to all nations in the world. Yet, what has occurred since then is a case of not wanting enough to create stability and peace both for Iran and the rest of the world. Secondly, these assassinations are wrong and make peace more difficult to obtain.
The Iranian people throughout history have been traders and negotiators, going back to the times of the Vikings if not before the bridge between the East and the West. A good deal with Iran that is a win-win that would help both the USA EU, UK, Israel and Iran to find reconciliation after these years of differences. It would bring to the world’s benefit one of the wisest, most self sufficient and innovative countries on the planet.
So the ins and the outs of what’s required for a new deal with Iran could happen then and I hope can still happen today. I believe this is one new opportunity in the making and yet to achieve that deal does require a meeting of potential partners both with an interest in contemplating, designing and discovering what can be agreed upon.
So the situation with Iran is not completely settled yet what again is true is the fact that the Western media were not encouraging President Trump to continue and actually make full and lasting peace was again a limitation of incomplete media. A media that did not actually state and show what the implications of President Trump deciding to go in the direction more of peace primarily had actually obtained. There was no analysis of any of that at all and all the media focussed on was the fact that President Trump had changed his mind at the last minute.
Not actually acknowledging in any shape or form just how significant that change of decision actually was. If the media would have better analysed the reasons and the motives for President Trump calling off the airstrikes at the last minute then perhaps a better and more constructive media narrative would have continued and there would have been words and negotiations beginning again and the creation of a really effective peace deal again.
The same pattern emerged once again with the Koreas. President Trump walked back from a situation that under any other circumstances would have disrupted the entirety of Asia, therefore, Europe and the USA. With North Korea firing missiles over Japan it really does not require a leap of the imagination to understand that the Tokyo stockmarket could have been at risk. So many countries in close proximity to such an unpredictable outcome created. A risk to the Tokyo Stockmarket of course would have brought down the New York and London Stock exchanges and we today would be living in an age where we value salt more than money once again.
The situation was in the words of President Obama ‘the greatest test of his Presidency’ in a letter to President Trump and to be fair. I have to agree completely with him. Yet there were other Trump tests. 1. Relations with Russia- Solved. 2. Relations with Syria, the most politically complex conflict quagmire in the history of the world- Solved, by solving the Russia issues. 3. Iran- A step back, a step forward and a step back. 4. Afghanistan, better situation than before. 5. Armenia and Azerbaijan a new situation, yet without US involvement and with Russian help on the path to improvement. If these were the only incredibly complex issues that were improved upon then lets just add a few more. 1. Pakistaan and India. – Trump against wisely passed to China. President XI and Prime Minister Modi of India had cordial meetings. Pakistan and India created progress through the opening of the Sikh pilgrims route.
A gesture of exceptional good will that also went largely unnoticed by the Western media. A meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President XI were clearly of importance in this.
2. Hong Kong- Again a move that prevented what could have otherwise been an un-resolvable situation. This was supported by a gesture by Prime MInister Boris Johnson to offer residency to Hong Kong expatriates in the UK. The situation was complicated partly due to Covid19 and secondly due to the fact that a long term agreement had never been negotiated with China over Hong Kong. Having been in Hong Kong and seeing Hong Kong one before being handed back to China and once prior to the end of the protests I sincerely hope that a middle ground is found for maintaining Hong Kong as a territory with a global perspective where people’s rights are upheld and maintained.
The relations between China and India have in some ways not been ideal due to the lack of clarity and a fray on borders between India and China.
However, the stepping back of these issues by President Trump has been some of the most effective International diplomacy ever done and the resolving of tensions between China and India have been clearly seen as an issue that only China and India could resolve together. Yet, the pulling back from this, which again was a good and feasibly essential move by President Trump has gone un-noticed and so much under-valued or considered in the Western media that it really does bring to question how on Earth they manage to fill up so much media space without actually covering the real news in the context of peacemaking and diplomacy.
For the Western press today and in the past two years at least to have not been lauding President Trump in negotiating his way through some of the most complicated issues for them not to have really seen the truth that President Trump knows when to speak out and be vocal and yet also knows exactly when to pull back and stay quiet in order to influence outcomes frequently.
For the press not to see that, for all of that to go completely over their heads actually places the West not in a stronger position. However, I really do not like to talk in terms of strengths and weaknesses I prefer to look plainly at the facts. The positioning on the International stage of President Trump is unique, it has been a legacy of presenting a strong, sometimes a seemingly overtly strong impression on the world stage. Yet, in reality all of the major powers in the world that were being forced into a type of ‘in group’ ‘out group’ dynamic of the past had run it’s course, first and foremost and secondly by the positioning of other countries have had the breathing space that they needed to be able to re-position. So where was the world under Obama and where is the world today under Trump?
When I say the position under Obama really what I’m referring to is positioning under both George W Bush and Obama combined as the legacy of both interplayed one into the other. Whilst Obama brought levels of charm never seen before around the world to some leaders he also positioned some countries into very difficult positions. A combination of the Bush, Obama, Trump legacy actually takes Biden to a place which is possibly the best position the US has been in for decades. Whilst the Bush Administration showed the military capacity and also in terms of it’s determination to bring to the world its ideas of democracy. It also created political impasses. However the second term of George W Bush efforts were made to start to reduce and end the wars and George Bush was well aware of the wisdom in maintaining peace with Iran.
These were inherited by The Obama administration and for all the wars that President Obama tried to end others began. The end of the Obama legacy was of Russia and North Korea being pinned into corners where both posed a very serious threat to the USA. Trump immediately defused the tensions with Russia, then later with North Korea. He progressed beyond all expectations with Syria and Afgaanastan and yet he did not achieve what could have been achieved with Iran. This progressed forward and regressed. Overall though what President Trump did was open up a completely new type of diplomacy, which had never happened before. A type of diplomacy where the USA was actually the silent partner on what else was occurring on the world stage. Where both Russia and China could and did have major influencing roles in regions and the USA was not trying to obtain and gain centre stage. So the legacy of President Trump is actually very important indeed. It is a legacy where he has put himself forward publicly as a person rather than the country. By putting himself forward as a person he has provided the leeway for other countries to help organise and manage the world and to not put a finer point upon it actually resolve issues in the world that the USA never could have actually resolved and by the observance of democracy the US population had had enough of the USA trying to manage the rest of the world. So President Trump, lets call him a bigot, racist, misogynist and all the other names that have been said. The under lying reality of the situation is that he has been one of the most outstanding Presidents ever, if not the best President in knowing how to do deals on the global stage and actually maintain a sense of peace and calm when there were real genuine threatening to all dangers. Whilst this can be dressed up as the morning news and onto the next story. We have really been in some incredibly fraught situations, and when I say we I mean everyone. There were political and democratic rabbit holes that may never have been resolved without a re-set that could have put us all back to the stone age. These have been gotten through and really the sugar coasted reality presented by the mainstream press is not good enough. The long term peace and stability of the world requires not 'tough positioning by leaders' it actually requires tough investigative journalism to really understand and really acknowledge where we have been and how we progressed. The legacy of Integrated Strategies is as much a part of the world today as the Trump administration is. The seductiveness of the truth is not making anyone safer. What is making everyone safer is a true proper and correct representation of peace deals, how theyy got made. What they are and how they can chart a way forward that is actually more important than the national interest of any country alone. To understand how and why the USA is safe and protected today there is a science that has met all of the converging issues that affect quality of life head on. This methodology and process is something that the man Donald Trump intuitively, instnctively got and appreciated and understood. he may not have known exactly how to handle this but actually did a very good job. We were at a point of a clash of civilisations we got through that and it was as a result of the decisions made at the time. An incoming Biden Presidency has got to know, appreciate and realize just exactly what and how the decsons of the past four years have been made. The truth of this may or may not be regular news fodder, however it's important to know everything as the place we all were at the start of the Trump Presidency was not in a good place at all. I worry greatly that whilst President Trump got and understood and intuited that my work was important that the next administration may not. I worry that there is really not a proper and correct understanding and awareness of just how many really, really important decisions Presidnet Trump made. I'm not a never Trumper or a pro-trumper or any of that nonscense. Sorry, the way in which my mind and my work has been attuning to the Trump administration is on another level to the media rahrah of what's been in the press. There are some very, very important decisions that got made and the non-interest of the press to properly consider this I would say is the greatest security ris by far that there is not only to the USA but to the whole Western world. For President Trump to feel disenchated, to feel not understood and not appreciated is actually very well justified. It's not easy to even explain this, but the truth is that the entire model of human progress was under threat in a way far more than most evenn know from four years ago. President Obama hinted at this. There were not easy to fnd ways out of The Korea's situation and whilst using the thinking of twenty years ago years the USA was far more powerful militarily than North Korea, yet the reality on the ground actually is that North Korea and North Koreans are really tough people and the knock on effects of any conflict there woul have created an utter quagmire for the Western world, no matter what and that is at the best. At the worst the North Koreans through their alliances would have changed everything. When Presidnet Trump met with Chairman Un. It was the meeting of two people that really both knew and appreciatd the capacity and the power of the other. The bridging of differences, the inter personal relations the want and need in both people to want to bridge the gaps and meet each other half way has really been one of the greatest diplomatic achievements ever in the history of the USA. The media an the people have totally taken this fro granted. One minute so concerned they go to bed thinking about if there is tomorrow, the next week waking up and forgetting about that entire paradigm. The fact is that President Trump opened up a warm hand to friendship with Chairman Un and he responded thankfuly in the same way. The Western press, jump onto the next story is really not good enough. The awareness and understanding of all the aspects of how peace was created from this, from one of the most fraught democratic situations has got to be considered and known. It really is not doig justice to any of this to not really understand and to report the successes that occurred, the press have got to do better. How dare the press go for 70 years not considering any posible way to peace and when President Trump and Chairman Un and President Moon achieve this not properly and fully report on this. how dare they misrepresent the dynamics of peace making and provide so much media coverage on the subject of war mongering. The peace deal with the Koreas is more important than any of the media reporting on the second world war, it is not more important. It is equally important. So please the media even if you do not like Trump, you do not like Ivanka Trump please just tell the news how it is.
President Trump dealt with this in ways that were not the way of the innocent, they were the way of the necessary. In order to protect America and all American interests, there are two ways resented, 1. being tough on dictators or 2. talking taught with dictators and actually seeing them as people that actually do really care, and do want to do the best for their own people. Their is no way to talk at a dictator and win there is a way however to be honest put your cards on the table and come from a point of vulnerability and find reason and benefit for all with a more sensible and wise way forward into peace for all. That is what both Presidnet Trump di and that is what Chairman Un did. They had the back up of formidable armies and allies on both sides, yet they chose peace. I wish so much that the media were also in alignment with both the commitment and the morale fiber that both leaders had to want true and real peace. It is the easy option to say, you are different from me I choose conflict, yet they chose peace and the whole world, every person on every continent benefited. The world is as it is today, thanks to Presidnet Trump and Chairmen Un, thank you. If the press and other political leaders cannot bring themselves to say that then all I can do is offer my small apology for them. Thank you for giving the world the world of peace that ha been enjoyed by all for the past three years. Thank you.
