Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about

diplomacy. We're going to talk about U.S diplomatic efforts, how they're going,

how they're being perceived.

We're going to talk about deprioritization,

and we are going to talk about why the United States is in the situation it's in.

Because it's kind of between a rock and a hard place at the moment as far as foreign policy

efforts.

If you have missed the reporting, there is now reporting that says U.S. diplomats are

basically telling the Biden administration, hey, you have got to fix this gap between public messaging about U.S diplomatic efforts and what's actually

occurring.

And they say that if the U.S. can't do that, the US is quote,

losing Arab publics for a generation.

Losing isn't it's something that's happening right now.

Those diplomats are getting that information by having conversations with Arab leaders.

That's where that information is coming from. conversations with Arab leaders.

That's where that information is coming from.

We talk about this in the United States.

What I'm about to say is not specific to the Arab world in any way.

We talk about how our representatives don't exactly have their

fingers on the pulse of the attitudes of the average American. That's also true there. In fact it's probably even more pronounced

there. So what the Arab leaders are hearing now as whispers is probably already a roar with the average person.

I'll go ahead and say now, I don't think the U.S. is losing the Arab publics for a generation. I think they've lost them.
