@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 You nailed it. Except that in my worldview Peace on the Korean Peninsula has to win out. Like Dennis Rodman “I believe in North Korea” and I see the human side of Kim and Ri and how they see the US. The “cynical strategic objectives of the DPRK” are
@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 explained by Kim Yo Jong. Don’t you think a “shrimp among whales” vilified by the world for defending against a US nuclear first strike or regime change by using textbook nuclear deterrence has to be cynical? I also think the affection/respect is mutual.
@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 So I see the DPRK wanting to get to peace and normalized relations w/ the US more than Washington does. They’re faced w/ this conundrum but seem willing to negotiate their nuclear weapons if the US will accept them as a nuclear state.
@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 Dennis Rodman going to North Korea and making friends w/ Kim Jong Un promoting Basketball revealed that KJU “does not want to do war”. That’s a revelation. The fact Kim and Dennis chilled out and partied together shows another side of Kim we can relate to.
@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 Also that I’m half-Asian enables me to relate to what I perceive are North Koreans’ aspirations/dreams. I mean elite like Moranbong Band, not defectors. They want peace like I do. They want women’s fashion & better quality of life. I can relate to them.
@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 On another level, Kim Yo Jong’s commentary, inspired when she was “killing time one morning drinking coffee watching the news”, bridges the ideological gap. She hinted at a way forward in negotiations. I put a plan in writing I think DPRK would accept:
@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 So here’s this Glass-Half-Full/Empty plan I think Kim Yo Jong and Choe Son Hui have been alluding to. It could lead to ending the War right? Except that Washington hawks and the MIC would never do it. That makes the former Apprentice host Trump the X-factor. This is also why
@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 the DPRK leadership are fans of Trump. If Trump accepts DPRK as a nuclear state (and they cap/freeze/dismantle current nuclear & ICBM development programs) as a prelude to PEACETIME, we turn the page and US and DPRK could become friends like US & Japan.
@ReiMurasame @piccolan @ZackBornstein @picola1922 Another major plank in my worldview is making friends. I don’t “belong” to any single race. I connect to people just thru common humanity: Everyone has two parents. If DPRK wants 2b friends w/ the US and Trump is the only shot at it, I want Trump to win.😌

North American Energy Trifecta: USA, Canada & Greenland |
President Trump should discuss with incoming Prime Minister Pierre Poilirvre a U.S.-Canada Union <USCU> a la the EU

that will integrate the U.S. and Canadian economies (as discussed by Canadian Kevin O'Leary) and turn North America into the biggest energy powerhouse on Earth. Completing the trifecta is incentivizing Greenland's Premier Mute Burp Egede into breaking away from Denmark and
entering into the U.S-Canadian energy alliance, possibly forming a U.S.-Canada-Greenland Energy Alliance <USCGEA>. As outlined in the 👆 thread, the U.S. and Canada could build an LNG pipeline from Newfoundland to southern Greenland, where an LNG interchange will be built at the

THE QUESTION: Understanding Natalie Rupnow through the lens of her social media and manifesto, we know WHY and HOW she committed the mass shooting. Since she used a handgun, gun laws wouldn’t have prevented it.
Solving the problem of a mass shooting means answering the question: What was the genesis of the desire or reason that led the shooter down a self-destructive path that ultimately culminated in the mass shooting?
If you read her manifesto you’ll see the real tragedy is that in isolation she held these perceptions, feelings, attitudes & misguided world view. Natalie might only have needed a friend like Bob Dylan.

Vedic Astrology reveals Trump’s re-election was written in the stars. The U.S. Pluto Return 2024 is a cosmic reckoning, “a profound opportunity for the U.S. to confront its past, reassess its foundational values and undergo a significant transformation.”
Trump's Vedic chart reveals that his destiny was to be POTUS 47 during the U.S. Pluto Return and celebrate America's semiquincentennial anniversary. In other words he had to lose in 2020 in order to become President in 2025. Stir that into your coffee.🇺🇸✊
Furthermore, Harris's Vedic chart reveals she was set up for "a giant shattering of an illusion.”
So to recap: Donald Trump was destined to be our 47th President to usher in the transformational changes that will lead the USA into fulfill its higher calling. Image

It's a tug-of-war b/t the peacemakers and the warmongering Russophobes.

In office since 2010, when his country was gripped by a violent financial crisis, the ultraconservative prime minister has been pursuing an unorthodox economic policy.

President Trump will want to jump-start US-DPRK relations and resume the "Bromance", which should be celebrated, not ridiculed as the Democratic Party has repeatedly done. The goal should be accepting the
the DPRK as a limited nuclear state based on the premise that Korean reunification is an impossibility, an outdated 20th-century concept whose ship has sailed long ago. The DPRK will agree to limit its nuclear program in exchange for normalized relations

w/ the USA and being recognized as a nuclear state. It will also accept USFK exercises as a regional defense force under the Mutual Defense Treaty on condition that all exercises targeting the DPRK are terminated.
