Panda Diplomacy is dead, but Drum Diplomacy?
https://youtu.be/Qvu6Nh8bJq0?si=bogowex1g__lF-m_ This is for the future, once Iran has been freed. This has been on my mind for a while. I have been thinking about how a free Iran can re-establish friendly diplomatic relations. I don’t know a lot about diplomacy, but I know certain countries have distinct soft power influences that can impact diplomacy. For example, China and panda diplomacy. In order to obtain a black and white bear of serotonin, you have to be on China’s good side. If you are, black and white bear of serotonin is bestowed upon you. If not, China eventually snatches the panda back like a vindictive parent in a custody dispute. Hence, Japan is pandaless right now. I do not think a free Iran will receive pandas from China. They already do not have pandas at the moment with the incredibly discounted oil they are receiving from the regime. Therefore, I don’t think China will give custody of any beloved pandas to the future national zoo of free Iran once free Iran starts selling China oil at the industry standard price if they even do sell them oil again at all. Anyways, this got me thinking. Armin and Goldie mentioned in one of the Iran Revolution livestreams that HRH Prince Reza Pahlavi is a drummer, and he has experience playing in a band. You want to know who else is a drummer with experience playing in a band? Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi of Japan. Guess what she did a month ago? Prime Minister Takaichi and President Lee Jae-Myung of South Korea drummed out to K-pop songs in Nara, Japan. President Lee only learned how to play the drums earlier that day (I will link the video). Because of this, I think when HRH Prince Reza Pahlavi is re-establishing diplomatic ties with Japan, I think he should use drum diplomacy to drum out with Prime Minister Takaichi. Since they are both trained drummers, it should be epic. However, I think this would help with how the Japanese view a free Iran. I think Japan could be a big ally to free Iran. Japan is a strong US ally without the political problems of Europe. According to The Japan Times, President Trump and Prime Minister Takaichi are meeting in Washington D.C. on March 19th, and I think the biggest topic on their agenda is Iran and the Middle East.
