Here on Saturday, June 13, in the US Eastern Time Zone, the hour is past 6PM and night is drawing nigh.
The Washington Post solemnly informs us that “U.S. and Iran to close deal within a day, Trump says, but Tehran yet to confirm: An agreement would extend the ceasefire and pave the way for a longer truce, leaders said, though a Tehran official denied that a deal will be signed Sunday.” Meanwhile, the Noo Yak Times, somewhat more fulsomely, lets us know that
Starting with March 23 this year, this is the 38th time Trump has claimed an Iran deal is just around the corner.
We appear to be living in the age of hallucination. KPMG, one of the Big Four accounting firms, just released a major report on the impact of AI on business going forward. It provided many examples to support its conclusions. A large number of the examples were themselves AI hallucinations.
Meanwhile, K&L Gates, a top law firm, submitted a brief to a federal court in California where nine of 27 citations were wrong, including two non-existent cases hallucinated by an artificial intelligence program.
Up in Washington, at the White House, the cage fight will start in about an hour and a half. One assumes that Orange Mussolini will take time out to enjoy the human cock fight and will, temporarily, stop acting like someone whose mind has been occupied by an incompetently designed, delusional AI chat bot.
After the cage fight is all over and they’re taking away the bodies, I expect we will begin to hear more belligerent delusions about an Iran deal signing ceremony.
Will there in fact be a deal by this time next week? I very much doubt it. If you would like to bet a nice steak dinner on that, let me know.
I’m even more confident that if a deal is reached next week, it will heavily favor Iran.
If not, I expect there will soon be some dead Iranian negotiators.
