SMDA (looking at menu):🎶I can hear you🎶
I have had lunch with my second most difficult aunt. I have also, when she wasn’t looking, mouthed “sorry” to our server appropriately eight times.

Second Most Difficult Aunt: I assume you’re wearing black because it’s my birthday.

MJM (without missing a beat): Yes. Is the wine good?

SMDA: Good boy. & surprisingly, yes.

SECOND MOST DIFFICULT AUNT (picking up mille-feuille I brought, with a sigh): I should have asked for a lemon tart.

MJM: Because you are what you eat?

SMDA: Good boy. Good, wicked boy.

Second Most Difficult Aunt: Do you have a watch?

MJM: Yes!

SMDA: Okay, look at it. In three minutes I’ll stop being such a monstrous crank.

MJM: Or you could just start now!

I just donated to Wikipedia. Not the best source media, but I'll be damned if some butthurt billionaire is going to ruin this site too.

My Analysis: The real motive behind Israel’s attack on Iran and how Trump was the useful tool

The Context: In September 2025, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed the Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement (SMDA)—a historic pact that basically created an "Islamic NATO."

Got a weird text from my second most difficult aunt & called my brother so he could deal with it, but mistakenly called my SMDA, & she said, “I can’t hear you from this particular wingback,” & had to call me back, but when she did, it went to my voicemail so she called my brother to check up on me.

The Klan masks are off. The Republican Party is using overt racism to appeal to its overtly racist base. SMDA

This is how the phone call between me, my second most difficult aunt, & my normally not-sassy older brother just ended.

MJM: See you tomorrow for your birthday then!

SMDA: I’ll be here. Doing nothing. Getting older

NNSOB: Me too. Although you do have a HUGE head start.

Best wishes to SMDA and to you, MJM.

I cannot get over it. I imagine it’s 1992, my SMDA puts her hair in a chignon, dashes this note off, flicks off her office lights, says goodbye to the security guy, Stan maybe, with a wink, puts on an oversized blazer over a petal pink silk shirt, leather skirt, & is on the street FREE, FREE, FREE.
Got a book from my second most difficult aunt (who worked for Rotary International & was key in the global effort to eliminate Polio, no big deal) & found this office message form used as a bookmark & an always appropriate grocery list on the back of it.

Not just life, a lifeSTYLE.

Same about team sports - I swam and played tennis. I had a hard enough time focusing on what I had to do let alone picture a field full of people drawing up a play and trying to react accordingly.

Oh, Martin. I have posted about my SMDA hundreds of times. 😏

Relatos de início de 2026 indicam que a Turquia tem avançado nas conversas para aderir ao Acordo Estratégico de Defesa Mútua (SMDA) entre Arábia Saudita e Paquistão, o que alguns analistas chamam de uma espécie de "OTAN Islâmica". +

The right is your SMDA, I believe.

Under the SMDA, an attack on Saudi Arabia is treated as an attack on Pakistan. This "NATO-style" clause means Islamabad is contractually bound to Riyadh. Expect to see Pakistani missile defense and "boots on the ground" protecting Saudi territory and holy sites immediately.

The target wasn't just Tehran; it was the SMDA agreement and denying Iran and Arab states the ability to use nukes in defense and ensuring Israel remains the primary military power. What Israel didn’t count on was Iran’s resilience and failure of the Iron Dome’s vs drones.

Pakistan is facing the ultimate tightrope act. If a Saudi-Iran war breaks out, they won't just be choosing a side; they’ll be fighting for their own survival. Historically neutral, the new Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) they signed (with SA) in late 2025 has changed the math completely.

Look at the timing. These strikes landed just as the Pakistan-Saudi defense pact (SMDA) threatened to create a unified "Islamic NATO." By goading Iran into hitting its neighbors, Israel didn't just target Tehran—it effectively sabotaged the birth of an independent Arab defense bloc.
