Connect the dots:
Steve Witkoff, the US Special Envoy negotiates the peace His son, Zachary Witkoff, issues the coin and Pakistan just legalized the rail to run it through It’s a closed-loop system of diplomacy and finance The death of the old order https://x.com/shanaka86/status/2044814247960703008?s=20 "Iran has tolled Hormuz in crypto since mid-March. IRGC-linked addresses moved three billion dollars in 2025 per Chainalysis. The sanctioned regime invented the first maritime crypto toll booth in modern history. The war designed to end it produced a ceasefire brokered by the country that simultaneously legalized the sanctions-proof rail of the war’s architects. Both sides of the blockade now run on the same family of instruments. The chokepoint is no longer geographic. It is custodial. The petrodollar did not die in a war. It was refinanced in a stablecoin, brokered by the envoy whose son writes the code, in the capital of the country that held the ceasefire." Pakistan lifts seven-year ban, allowing banks to service crypto providers https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/04/...-providers https://www.pymnts.com/cryptocurrency/20...cted-firm/

When you've hooked a big game fish full of fight with just a little rod and line, you can't just haul it in or you'll be reeling in broken line. You have to give it a bit of slack, let it tire itself out by running a bit, all the while with the hook still in its mouth. Then you bring it in. This is a move to affect relative political capital ahead of negotiations. But will it work?

The evil communist leftist democrats will file articles of impeachment even after Trump wins the war against Iran.

Under the JCPOA Obama only had to pay $1.7 Billion in 2016 to remove Iran's enriched uranium plus shutting down most of their enrichment centrifuges, plus modifying their reactor so it couldn't produce plutonium, plus allowing 24/7 monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency. And the MAGA crowd screamed bloody murder that Obama was a traitor, etc., etc. So in 2018, after twice certifying that Iran was living up to its side of the agreement, Trump unilaterally and impulsively terminated the JCPOA, which, of course, put Iran back in the uranium enrichment business. Fast forward to 2026 and Trump spends maybe $150 Billion to bomb somewhere in excess of 10,000 Iranian targets and STILL wants to spend another $20 Billion to get back to where we were under Obama 10 years ago. And of course, in a weird kind of way Trump predicted this all 10 years ago when he said, "We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go ‘Please, please, we can’t win anymore.’ .... You’ll say ‘Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win anymore. It’s too much." I'm definitely at the point where I don't want any more of his winning.
