Life comes at you fast.
Just a few short weeks ago, I wrote about the historic movement by North Korea, to agree to peace talks and nuclear disarmament, a movement that shocked many who claimed that it could never happen and it was impossible.
In that article, I also made my next predication, that Iran would be President Trumps next target and that they would be the next to have pressure placed on them, just as was previously done with what was once thought of as the "out of control" North Korea.
Yet, never in my wildest dreams did I think that this prediction would already be unfolding. I assumed that this would take time, months at the very least.
In typical Trump fashion, he has bull headed charged into the next negotiation talks, before even the dust has settled around the North Korea situation, setting the MSM into a frenzied state of "chicken little's", proclaiming that the sky is ONCE AGAIN falling.
Of course it isn't.
The MSM is once again discrediting themselves, as they enter into this hyperbolic state and are going to be proven, as they have time and time again, to be absolutely wrong.
Last week, President Trump began the first steps of his "art of the deal" where he goes straight to the extremes to kick start his negotiations, a tactic he has used repeatedly and even written a book about, but yet the MSM and his political opponents appear not to be able to grasp.
In this step, he struck down one of Obama's trademark negotiations that he helped put in place during his Presidency, the "Iran Nuclear Deal", which allowed Iran to continue to develop their nuclear program, although with some slight stipulations, such as they would not be allowed to use that development towards weapons develop.
Obviously, this was considered by many as an incredibly soft approach, including President Trump who called the deal "disastrous" and pointed out its many loopholes and flaws, that would allow Iran to easily acquire functional nuclear weapons if they desired.
Meanwhile, as was exposed by the New York Times in 2016, the US government was secretly funneling money to Iran, behind closed doors.
For decades this same approach was tried with North Korea and of which resulted in them acquiring functional Nuclear weapons. Proving that it simply doesn't work.
The next step in his plan, was also taken, as he stated that he is "open" to negotiations, but on better terms, a similar strategy that he used against North Korea, and one that has now proven successful.
He will continue to curtail back his demands now, unfolding the "art of the deal", as he makes his enemies feel like they are gaining a victory with each step they make, while at the same time, getting them closer and closer to the desired goal he initially intended to settle upon.
Still, in the short term, we will have to bear witness to the MSM screaming to the masses that the sky is falling and repeating history all over again.
To those asleep, they will witness this for the first time, as they always do and will be frightened and scared for months to come, assuming that this is still honest, accurate reporting, and not the tabloid journalism that the MSM has now morphed itself into.
For those awake, continue to pay attention to the facts and as always, do your own research, dig for the truth and look past the noise. The truth is still out there, even if it is buried six feet under.
