The Media stuttered because they were not the conveyor of news between two world leaders. The propaganda machine tried to speculate, discuss, and outright fabricate many scenarios. But all failed because the leaders in question made a private deal to get together and for the first time in many years and just talk.
Many things may come out of this. Some good and some bad. That is to be expected. After seventy (70) years of conflict and bashing propaganda that set the region on edge, this is a good start.
There have been many attempts in the past by many US leaders, Presidential, Congressional, and other individuals, but all in all, they were worried about their political future rather than actually finding a peaceful solution. There will be the naysayers and their puppet media outlets but if a good solution is presented to the American people and they feel it is in their best interest, the American people will force their congressional elected leaders to approve it or get replaced. For if the diplomatic process ever fails and sometimes it does. The final option doesn’t allow for safe spaces.
