The board of peace and profit.  The American kleptocratic oligarchy uses peace to mask atrocity.  It is obvious what is going on, but the fairy tale of our emperor having no clothes is out of fashion.  The truth remains too uncomfortable to see.  As the USS Gerald R. Ford strike group moves into the Persian Gulf, the lead negotiators, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff treat the Middle East like a distressed asset.  Just more beaches crying for casinos.    Kushner's Affinity Partners manages billions in capital for Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.  Gulf monarchies that stand to gain billions from a "crippled" Iran.

TTe threat of mass violence as a poker tell in a game where the only stakes are the enrichment of the few at the cost of 90 million Iranians.  Some of who must die for Kushner and Steve Witkoff's billions.

* Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners is now managing nearly $5 billion, with 99% of that capital coming from foreign sovereign wealth funds in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar
