US hits Iran over hits to Tankers in the Strait of Hormuz - Update
Sky News: Reports in the 10.17pm post the following, " US launches 'powerful strikes' on Iran "
Let's Get Real:
Iran is playing the US for fools, it goes quite for a time the attacks tankers in the Strait, it is testing the US, if they will react, expect this to go on for weeks and months, one can assume they will attempt something big before the Mid Terms, think Tet in 1968, they might invade Iraq, to see if the US comes to the assist of an ally, or they could close down the Strait again just before the November vote, when incidents happen the Trump plays down the event, it does not want to go back to WAR with Iran, Trump started a War he could not finish. The would be incorrect, he did when chicken, 12 US Service personnel lost their lives for nothing, any other President would have hit Iran hard, and taken down the Regime. Trump is a TACO President, history on not kind on appeasers or chickens.
Zelensky needs more supports - Update
BBC News: Reports the following, " Ukraine's president plans to use the Nato meeting in Turkey to urge Kyiv's allies to deliver the air defence systems it urgently needs to protect it from escalating Russian attacks."
Let's Get Real:
The NATO allies do not want a war with Russia's Putin, if they don't support Kyiv then they could find themselves in a WAR with Russia in 2030. The Germans and Poland have increased defence spending, the UK has hardly started, its 1914 all over again. What if the UK has to bring back enforced conscription, the young would have no idea what has hit them. The UK has to wake up, before it's to late.

Has WOKE gone to far - Update
CNN: Reports the following, " White House report accuses Smithsonian leadership of radical ideology "
Let's Get Real:
Has WOKE gone to far, the answer is YES, saw a documentary on Thomas Jefferson on the History Channel, the last half hour was about how he fathered black children with Black female slave when she was 16, he freed his Black children when they reached 21, but his plantation slaves were sold off when he died, YES WRONG to have any slaves but he WROTE the Declaration of Independence from the UK. Also as President he purchased millions of more land to expand the US, he was a founding father of the US, great men are flawed, even clay feet, but still great.

1776 - 2026 America Celebrate their Independence
BBC News: Reports in its 4.13pm post the following, " Pop stars to perform across US to celebrate 250 years of independence "
Let's Get Real:
Thus US celebrates its 250th birthday. The US is great, yes it has had its flaws, slavery etc, it took deaths and a civil war to STOP, even then it took in till the 1960s for African Americans to get their full rights, in the 21st Century it elected its 1st black President. On the plus side we had US leadership during WW1 and 2. The great President Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, US is not perfect but still a Shining City on a Hill.

Threat to Poland - Update
BBC News: Reports the following, " Polish PM warns critical months ahead in face of Russian threat "
Lets Get Real:
The Poles and the Baltic States are worried, they fear that Russia could do a false flag operation, or have a plane or helicopter go down in NATO country, and then the Russians send it troops, what would President Trump do, what would the new UK PM Andy Burnham do, very new to OFFICE, would he press the red button to save Poland, we have let Poland down in 1939 and 1945 when it was taken over by the Soviets, even after the Free Polish Forces had fought for the Allies in World War 2. Trump is erratic, would he take action, he has shown that he is a puppet of Putin, will defend Poland even after they have increased their defence spending. It is worry for Poland and the Baltic States, one gets the impression that the UK voter does not get how close to war we are, most of them were not about for the 1930s, and thus do not understand the threat. Let's hope the intelligence networks are wrong about the Kremlin Plans, if not we are in the Summer of 1914, and have no idea what is coming.
