Iran COUNTER STRIKES - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 9.07pm post the following, " IRGC says ‘regretful response’ to US attacks has begun "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran is testing the Trump Oval, Trump promised a heavy response should Iran Counter Attack, will will Trump do, follow his rhetoric through, or fold again, if history is a past example, he will fold again, Trump is the weakest President since Carter.   The Tehran Regime has time, Trump does not, the November Mid Terms, then we start the cycle for 2028.  The limelight will be off Trump, he will hate that fact.

Russia behind threatened drone strike on German Airport - Update

Sky News: Reports " Germany has blamed Russia for an attempted attack using an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig airport last month. "

Let's Get Real:

The Russians will go to far one day, an invasion of the Baltic States or Poland, or an accidentally on purpose a drone strike on a NATO base to see what NATO does, Putin needs Trump in the Oval to appease the Russians and place pressure on NATO to do the same.  It is know that Western Europe should draw a red line before the above happens or we are on the road to WW3.

US Attacks Iran - Update

CNN: Reports " US military carries out new strikes on Iranian targets "

Let's Get Real:

Either Iran reacts or does nothing, if wise and that is questionable they will not act, thus a limited operation from the US.  Trump has no Presidential Credibility any more, his harsh rhetoric on Iran is not march by military reality.  The Tehran Regime can outlast Trump, the Oval has to worry about the Mid Terms that should see Democrats take the House, even the Senate is a possibility, then in depth investigations by the Democrats and the start of the 2028 Presidential Election cycle.  

Falkland threat from Trump - Update

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has said the United States' position on the Falkland Islands is "one of many" under review, as he pressed the UK to increase military spending. "

Let's Get Real:

PM Andy Burnham should remember the Suez crisis when President Eisenhower pulled the rug from PM Eden, he later regretted it but it lead to the fall of Eden.  BURNHAM can not lose the Falklands Islands, it cost to much in British blood to take it back after it was invaded by the Junta in Argentina.  The new PM has to increase Defence spending, to keep Trump happy and counter the threats from Russia.  The new PM has a lot of issues to deal with before the next election in 2029/30.

Putin fears being HUNG over Ukraine FAILURE - Update

Daily Mail: Reports that President Putin fears being HUNG if he fails to win the Ukraine War and thus planning escalation.

Let's Get Real:

As the article notes this would explain the CIA's visit to Moscow to warn Putin off taking action, or an attack on the UK through a cyber attack or a drone strike on drone hubs in the UK.  Andy Burnham has been warned the article notes.  A direct attack on a NATO Country is unlikely, NATO is a stronger than Russia in purely military terms, one suggestion that has been suggested that Russia would launch a nuclear missile at a remote part of Russia, as a warning to the West.  This blog has suggested that Russia could drop a Tactical nuclear weapon on Kyiv, claiming US did the same in 1945 with Japan.   There is something happening folks, let's hope Putin backs down, he does not want to follow what happened to Tsar Nicholas II and his family, murdered in a basement.

US and Iranian Strikes - Update

BBC News: Reports " Iran and the US have traded strikes after American forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. "

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Oval has to send in ground troops to secure Kharg Island and remove the oil from from Iran.  This tit for tat war will not produce a victory Trump wants, Tehran is playing Trump and the President is to delusional to see it, the Oval has a choice between victory and losing, time is on the side of Iran due to November Mid Terms.

US hits Iranian Island that dispaches mines in to Strait of Hormuz- Update

CNN: Reports " US strikes Iranian island where forces were preparing to launch mines, official says "

Let's Get Real:

The US has the air dominance over Iran, these strikes will prevent Iran from placing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, but the fear that Iran has the ability will frighten the tankers and their insurers against allowing transport of oil.  The US has to place ground troops on Kharg Island and take control of Iran's oil.  This is the only way to win the Iran War, otherwise Trump is a major loser, in the league of Hoover over the Great Depression, LBJ over the Vietnam War, and Carter over Iran hostage crisis.  Trump does not want to see himself as a loser.
