Fiona Hill

I mean, I was reading, you know, something that, I mean, I tried to read the charter, but then there's this idea, you know, pay, what, a billion in cash?

Or, I mean, is this a joke?

And where does it go?

Does it get invested in Donald Trump meme coins or in cryptocurrency?

Because, I mean, I heard recently from a colleague, you know, who looks into these things at North Korea, you know, has made a mint, you know, from basically siphoning off cryptocurrencies.

So is it going off to North Korea?

Is Kim Jong-un going to be investing it in hair products or all kinds of other kinds of things, whatever that man does with his money or nuclear weapons?

I don't even know whether to make jokes about it or to just lament yet again.

Again, the destruction of anything that could be sensibly dangerous

approached as a basis for reinvigorating the international system.

This is not, I think, what anybody might have had in mind.

It just seems like another Donald Trump, enrich myself quickly scheme.

It's becoming more and more like we're in the Marvel Universe, you know, it's kind of Marvel Comics.

I mean, it's, so many people are making fun of this, memes going around, you know, the internet.

I think, you know, the collective wisdom of the internet seems to have got this a little bit more than, you know, foreign policy and other analysts.

This is just a bloody joke.

I think it seems to compare quite well with what we saw in the previous administration when we had Rudy Giuliani and all kinds of people running off, all of the players doing all kinds of things.

I mean, they're not wrong in that there were a lot of limitations to the old style diplomacy.

Having a pattern breaker in the form of Trump could be pretty useful, thinking outside the box.

Pattern breaker.
