My experience with international politics is, that it is one big chess game.
That is really the challenge. As Tesla was a success due to the intricate plan made; an electrical vehicle that was superior to the gas driven cars, plus a massive international network of chargers. You have a success. Also starting with a cool car and then moving to a normal car was a strike of genius. Apple Steve Jobs level of genius.
Anyway, international politics is the same. It requires a view over the chessboard and then moving the pieces with a view to the complexity of the board.
One conundrum is the Russian/US balance. Finding peace here is VERY difficult due to the fact that the two alliances are fighting on a lower level.
Putin and Trump wants peace. Yet the Middle East theatre and the European theater is full of middle level players who wants to continue the war. Some of them more serious than other. It really depends on the skill and understanding. The Persians are a good middle level player in the sense, that they actually respect their alliance with Russia. The Houthis are a small amateur level player, who just want to fight.
So the top down attitude is the only way to make peace.
Make peace with Putin, talk to the middle level players, make them see the importance of peace.
Especially in the European theater. Here the players as pro.
If you start with Putin, talk to him about Iran, see if you can reach an agreement with him on that then you have that flank covered.
And the Europeans. As long as the peace is serious and professional, they will agree.
I know that there is animosity between Mr. Zelenskyy and Mr. Trump. Because of differences in attitudes to graft and corruption. Yet, make some kind of amendable deal.
And Volodomyr, don’t play a part that is untrue. Lying is not accepted in the White House. Add to this, lives lost are valuable. Soldiers need protection.
G-d bless the will to find peace in the world.
