Prosumerzen 06: Power is not about knowledge but about understanding

Dears All,

before to start some relaxing Jazz & Bossa Nova Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGtgxjYdmik

Then question 1 : what if Israel needs a 4th election because the next one will not elect a government?

1) Wanted: An Arab Prince or King, for Election Photo-op With Netanyahu

Secret forays to Gulf countries are a regular flight path for Israeli security officials and businesspeople. Now Netanyahu wants to publicize his own trips

Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen, head of the National Security Council Meir Ben Shabbat and the prime minister s aides have all been working hard in recent days to organize yet another trip to an Arab country for.. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-netanyahu-wants-saudi-uae-prince-bahrain-morocco-king-for-election-photo-1.8524961?utm_source=smartfocus&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-brief&utm_content=https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-netanyahu-wants-saudi-uae-prince-bahrain-morocco-king-for-election-photo-1.8524961

Question 2: Out of the symbolic impact what if , let me say, 400/500 naturalized Turkish Syrians will be deployed in Baluchistan?

Is Ankara replacing an outstretched Iran?

2) Erdogan to discuss trade, military plans in Pakistan

Question 3: What if Made in Africa will feed a 2 trillion US$ market? (Halal products)

Question 4: Iran in one month has lost 3 Top Hardliners + 1 allied proxy hard liner in Iraq,(all killed), and the hardliners will win the next election, then a "rhetoric" question: who is better placed than an hardliner government to start to talk about de-escalation? No one, is it?

4 ) Iran

a) Iranian digital influence

b) Iranian millenials

How Iran’s millennials are grappling with crippling US sanctions

Question 5: it seems...just is seems that "Israeli-Arab Nonaggression Pact? Don't Celebrate Yet, Ex-Qatari PM's tweet reflects a growing discourse on such a move. But the real implications would be anything but military" then to start to have some kind of " democrats congress adive" is about to create , let me say, some room for the next President? (or to help this one if he wins to edit a "Deal of the Century 2.0"? )

5) Lobbysts are nice, oh yes they are a lot...

https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2020/02/saudi-arabia-hire-democrats-congress-advice-relationships.html

• Iraqi businessman Abbas Hamza Abbas Ako paid Ayal Frank and his firm AF International $7,500 in the fourth quarter of 2019 to lobby Congress and the State Department on “US-Iraq relations.” Ako is a businessman based in the Suleimaniyah province of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, according to Frank’s lobbying registration.
• Lobbyists for Saudi Arabia helped distribute a joint Chicago Tribune op-ed from Muslim World League Secretary-General Mohammad al-Issa and American Jewish Committee CEO David Harris about their historic Jewish-Muslim delegation to Auschwitz last month. The Muslim World League is based in Mecca and is funded by the Saudi government.
• Venable subcontractor Quadripoint Strategies has amended its fourth-quarter lobbying filing for Kuwaiti logistics company Agility to disclose that it was paid $45,000 — not less than $5,000 — to lobby Congress and the executive branch on “troop support contracts and contract disputes.”

• The Wall Street Journal profiles Carla DiBello, a Florida reality TV producer turned rainmaker for Saudi Arabia’s $300 billion Public Investment Fund.
• Former British international trade secretary Liam Fox personally lobbied Bahrain’s royal family to award a multibillion-dollar oil contract to a politically connected British firm under investigation for suspected bribery and money laundering.

6) Walking Robot and oil industry

Question 6: soft power exists if you have hard power, (both economy and military), and this lasts for all the forms of power in the XXI ( look here https://appealpower.com/our-worldthe-frame/about/ ) then if the real problem is "just" to find a new framework for the Presidential powers in a world where the USA are a Republican Democracy with an Imperial President since at least 20 years?

7) US hard power (military)

Question 7: on practical terms inside Pres. Trump' s Peace Plan East Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine and West Jerusalem is that of Israel. Then, out of hypocrisy, that means " 1 Town 2 Capitals" = Jerusalem as capital both for Palestine and Israel, could be?

And if the answer is "yes, it sems / uhmm... it seems reasonable / could be, why not ? / could be JUST IF... " then WHAT IF Washington starts to tell that the USA recognize WEST Jerusalem as Israeli capital, ( by the way the US embassy is there), and this choke point will turn into a diplomatic watershed?

8) Trump and the Middle East

Question 8: Now is it time to have a "socialist/progressive " President?

What's the problem on it? The USA can afford a welfare that is better than the European one and doing this Washington will be the Soft Power /Leverage Power Capital and we can FORGET the Russian or Chinese models as well as the "Witlessness" as mentioned inside the Munich Security Conference Report I have sent yesterday.
