COMMENT: Marty, a number of us are sending letters to Trump that he should be consulting with you and Socrates for your track record is unprecedented. Other countries respect you. Your own tries desperately to marginalize you. The neocons are destroying the world. We have to at least try. I hope you got everyone out of Dubai.

REPLY: I respect that. It would take much more than a single letter. The Neocons are intimidating people in Congress and the Senate not to listen to our forecasts. They are no different from the bankers who always blamed me for their own stupidity. As you see in Europe, the presumption is always silence your opposition to retain power. The Ayatollah did that in 1979 and any opposition was called an agent of the Great Satan or Little Satan. The EU uses this on anyone who is anti-war calling them a Putin Supporter. The Neocons are using that tactic against me. They think they can rule the world usurping our Foreign Policy circumventing Congress and the people.
Thank you for all the inquiry about our staff in Dubai. Everyone is now safely out. The local scuttlebutt is that there is only 10 days of food left in Dubai. It is not just a crisis in shipping oil, it is also a crisis in food supply. As always, the Neocons assume instant victory, never anticipate what comes next. As I have warned, this is different aside from Iran being 3 times the size of Iraq. This is religious. This is NOT a simple territorial war. The Neocons judge the world only by what they think. They are making the very same mistake they made with Afghanistan. Clearly, religion was the indispensable ingredient that made the Afghanistan conflict unwinnable for conventional superpowers. The Neocons advising Trump do not care about the country and they certainly do not care about Trump and how he will be remembered.
Three days after that summit meeting, on August 18, 2025, Russia announced they were restarting Russia’s Arctic-2 LNG production facility. Russia would be more than doubling their capacity to generate and store liquified natural gas (LNG). Why? They understand the risks of war with Iran far better than those advising Trump, who was told this will be short and sweet. Obviously, it makes no sense to increase production in the fact of sanctions. However, if you expect Iran to target refineries and bring the entire West to its knees, then its time to restart producing even more LNG doubling the supply when Russia was already overproducing LNG. The computer has been waring rising volatility starts in April into July. The writing is on the wall. The Neocons refuse to read.
