Ukraine Satellite links to be restored - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its 5.03pm post " Rubio told us Starlink will be fully restored in 48-72 hours, Zelenskyy says "

Let's Get Real:

One had assumed this troubling issue had been solved, 48 to 72 hours can be an age in military terms, and with a City ceasefire one can assume that the Russians will launch heavy attacks on the areas not covered by a ceasefire and if the Ukraine reacts the Russians will say it was the fault of Kyiv.  The Russian Bear can never be trusted, its paws want the whole of Ukraine.

First Lady, First Diplomat - Update

BBC News: Reports " US First Lady Melania Trump has "successfully secured" a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, the White House has said. "

Let's Get Real:

What is the point of the US State Department?  The First Lady can get a ceasefire but Trump and Rubio have failed, one doubts that Putin will play around when the US First Lady, she seems the only one to frighten Trump, it seems she not that impressed with Putin, and tells POTUS that when he comes home from Oval Office.  The details of this ceasefire is important, when it starts and also when does it finish.  If it can hold, on doubts that by the way, the First Lady should try her hand at the bigger picture, getting a ceasefire for the WHOLE of the Ukraine.

Mother of All Bombs for Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports the following, " Nightmare for Trump as oil prices rocket with 12 days to midterms after report reveals president plotting 'Mother of All Bombs' Iran blitz "

Let's Get Real:

Iran is a constant trouble for POTUS, he started the War which saw oil prices go through the roof and could be the reason that Trump will lose US Congress to Democrats.   The Trump Oval has blamed Ukraine for the pain of the pump to voters who have a car, not his WAR of choice being Iran.  Both Trump and Putin have started WARS they cannot finish, Trump does not have the guts to finish of the theocracy in Iran, it takes ground troops and nerve of steel, Trump talks big  but never follows through.  If the report is true it will come to late for the Republicans to save their majorities in the US Congress.  Trump should wipe the theocracy away from Iran, it would benefit in the long term and the West.  It could bring peace to the Middle East, since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 the cancer of Iran has grown, and is a constant threat to the Middle East and the West and been a constant to the Man behind the Oval Desk. 

Zelensky critical of US Envoy Steve Witkoff- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.56am post the following, " Zelenskyy takes swipe at Witkoff's 'humanitarian' remark to Putin "

Let's Get Real:

This was after a night of heavy bombing of the Ukraine by Russia.  Steve Witkoff this week has called President Putin a humanitarian, so was Stalin if we used the Witkoff logic, the fact that Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL and murder seems to have been forgotten by the US Special Envoy.  The fact that the Russians are killing Ukrainians on a daily bases, almost as it does not matter to Trump and Witkoff, both are deluded!

Trump supports Witkoff calling Putin a humanitarian - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 8.20pm post the following, " Trump defends special envoy Witkoff calling Putin a 'humanitarian' "

Let's Get Real:

If one is throwing those terms around, Stalin was a humanitarian because after Nazi Germany invaded he becomes a ally for Roosevelt and Churchill.  Lets be clear Stalin was a mass murder, only became ally after Germany invaded Russia in 1941 after breaking the Nazi - Soviet Pact, thus Stalin had nowhere to go but became Ally of the US and the UK.  Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL, his invasion of the Ukraine and those who have been killed on the orders of the Kremlin! Why Witkoff used the term one can only guess, it seemed even Trump was surprised by the comments!!  Diplomacy should be done by diplomats not a friend of Trump, Trump is major appeaser in the same league as Neville Chamberlain, but the UK had Churchill, when can we a Churchill for today! 

Russia Agreee to NEW TALKS - Update

BBC News: Reports " Russia says it is ready to resume talks with Ukraine and US to end war "

Let's Get Real:

This is Russia play acting, it has no interest in giving concessions, but wants one man to believe what it says, that is President Trump.  Over the last few years Trump has shown total loyalty to Putin, and been highly critical of the Ukraine President.  The Trump has stated that the Ukraine needs a new President, who will do as he is told BY Trump and Putin.   Thank the lord that Trump was not around for WW2, the US would have supported Germany, as it would fit with America First doctrine.  The supposed technical talks will start in November 10th, after the US Mid Terms and the start of the 2028 Presidential cycle.  In a Washington with the Democrats in charge of the House and even the Senate, the Democrats can be a force to support Ukraine, passing laws that will fun the Ukraine, it will be curious if Trump has the will to VETO such laws and how much Republican support that he will have to sustain a VETO, where are the Republican Reagan supporters, they used to care for national security of the US and the Western Alliance.

US Envoy in Moscow after Ukraine talks - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its 10.26am post, " US negotiator asks Putin to resume three-way Ukraine talks during meeting "

Let's Get Real:

The above is pointless, the Ukraine will not give up parts of the Donbas it controls and Russians still has its maximalist demands.  As the article notes Trump has been placing pressure on the Ukraine to give UP the Donbas in East Ukraine to Russia and Zelensky has said no.  The coalition of the willing will have to have a presence at the talks, as they don't trust Trump alone with Putin! This will be opposed by Moscow, the Kremlin does not want foreign troops as a security presence in the Ukraine.  Thus pointless talks
