For those who were surprised by the “bolt from the blue” peace process recognized yesterday, it’s called Realpolitik. My hero, Richard Nixon, using Realpolitik, split the monolithic red menace and secured our containment long enough to transition to Reagan’s successes.

Below are some of the reasons Trump and the world could come up Aces on these summits.

1) Kellogg was never anything more than a distraction to keep the talking heads occupied. The ridiculous remarks both he and Trump were making ensured riveted interest from the outrage machine. Meanwhile, the real negotiations were taking place on the QT. I had suggested a couple of weeks ago that Grenell was probably the guy to go to Moscow.

2) By hook or pager there is the most pro Western leader in Iran since the Shah. Regardless of what the USAID press has been telling you, Iran does NOT want a nuke! Iran wants to do business and come into the current century.

3) Putin is watching 1000 Russian boys die EVERY week.

4) What was it worth to Putin when Trump shut down the ongoing CIA engineered color revolutions in Russia, Belarus, Georgia, Romania, Hungary, Moldova, Serbia and Slovakia?

5) China MUST have its Persian Gulf Oil.

6) Everyone agrees, tell the Euroweenies to STFU!

7) Putin, Trump and Xi are the elder statesmen of the world, have grandchildren and are legacy conscious.

8) The first summit will occur in Saudi Arabia. The Palestinian issue must be resolved. Israel will not accept a two state solution. Realpolitik tells me ethnic cleansing (until I’m given a more accurate term) is the only thing that will work. That is anathema to me but the Palestinians could have a secure, prosperous life in Jordan, Lebanon, Russia or Trump legal America.
