Let's Get Real:

Back to the Ukraine Front, while the News networks cover the War Iran, Putin's Russia still attacks the Democratic Ukraine, one should not forget this Long War, its like WW1 with its Trench Warfare.  This War could lead to WW3, whatever Trump thinks of the War. Putin will try to increase pressure on Ukraine, as he knows the WORLD is looking at this new War in the Middle East and fearing about the World economy as oil prices go up.

Let's Get Real:

Is this showing splits in the Regime, could the secular leaders trying for peace, as Iran is still attacking the Gulf States, are the hardliners still in charge of the weapons.  Sky News reports the President of Iran blamed mis communication in the ranks, interesting development, who really runs Iran.

Iran WAR could take 4 to 6 Weeks - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.50pm post the following " White House: Iran campaign may take four to six weeks  "

Let's Get Real:

The War will be longer than 4 to 6 weeks, Unconditional Surrender might take longer.  WW2 took 6 years, from 1939 to 1945, 1941 for the US, they are always late to Wars, this time it might be the UK!  The Americans and Israel are promise heavier bombing of Tehran, we shall see how a theocracy can survive or not in this case.

Trump cannot walk back from this, he wants total Unconditional Surrender, this might be something the present Regime cannot do, selecting a new leader is one thing, Unconditional Surrender is something else, this War might go on some more, the Israeli and US alliance might have to bomb some more and harder.

Trump has a final vote on the Iranian succession as Supreme Leader- Trump

Sky News: Reports in its 4.25pm post the following, " Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader  " 

Let's Get Real:

The powers of the Presidency has gone to Trump's head, he thinks he can follow the example of Venezuela, someone needs to talk to him and fast, this will not go down well in Iran, the students have been taught about the 1953 CIA/MI6 inspired Coup that replaced left winger PM with the Monarchy, the Iranian people are a proud people, the theocracy will use these  remarks against Trump.  

The House to Vote on War Powers Act - Update

Guardian:  Reports in its 12.13pm post the following " House to vote on war powers resolution after Senate measure fails  "

Let's Get Real:

It will be interesting to see this vote, the House in nominally Republican, but some are very American First, thus can be expected to support invoking the War Powers Act (1973), the Senate has said no, so it's academic, also Trump can VETO any resolution, the Congress does not have the two thirds to override a Presidential VETO.  It will be interesting to see the mode of the House and the American people.

Iran attacks Kurds in Iraq - Update

BBC News: Reports  that Iran has started to attack Kurds in Iraq.

Let's Get Real:

The Kurds will want firm promises from the Trump Oval, as the article notes the Kurds do not match the theocracy when it comes to Militarty Kit, thus they will want the air to be dominated by the US, and cover for ground operations.  They answered the call from Bush 41 to rebels against the Iraqi Regime, in the first Gulf War, but got no support, they do not want that again.  This War could take a long time.
