Russia for talks with the Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports the following, " Vladimir Putin says Russia is ready for peace talks with Ukraine after strikes on its infrastructure led to fuel shortages. "

Let's Get Real:

The Russians are on the backfoot on the front, the Donbas has become a drone War, and the Ukrainian side is winning.  The Russians have not moved from their maximalist agenda, they want the Donbas and a weak Ukraine, the talks idea is to divert attention from the lack of fuel in Russia.  BEWARE the Russian Bear, its claws are out.


Trump insists that the IAEA Inspectors will visit Iran - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump says nuclear site inspectors will be on the ground in Iran ‘at the appropriate time’ "

Let's Get Real:

Every President gets something wrong, JFK and the Bay of Pigs, Ronald Reagan and Iran - Contra, and they are considered GREATS, it comes with the job.  Trump can not see he was played by Iran, they did a great deal for Iran, the US gave to much concessions.  The Trump Oval should admit he was wrong and go back and finish the job.  TAKE down the Tehran with ground troops and win.

UK Zombie Government - Update

BBC News: Reports in 1.20pm post the following, " The government has announced that there will be no new “major policies” or spending decisions during the transition to a new prime minister. " 

Let's Get Real:

Thus for the next couple of weeks the UK Government is in Zombie mode before Andy Burnham becomes PM.  Think if your in the Kremlin, perfect time to hit the Baltic States or Poland, a UK PM on the way out and Trump has shown over Iran that he is a chicken.  NATO would be frozen, and Russia would have an easy victory, would help Putin at home.

UN's IAEA back in to Iran - Update

Fox News: Reports the fallowing, " Trump says Iran must agree to major weapons inspections to ensure future ‘nuclear honesty’  " 

Let's Get Real:

This is good sign, in less Tehran cheats, they have in the past, VP Vance is a dove, opposed the WAR, LBJ would have been appalled, if deal works, Vance will take the credit if the deal works, will help him in 2028 Presidential cycle, if it fails, Trump will blame him.  The omens are good, but as Reagan said, Trust but Verify! 

Starmer Resigns as UK PM

BBC News: Reports in its 9.35pm post the following, "  Keir Starmer says he'll resign as prime minister 

Let's Get Real:

Sir Keir Starmer should never have PM, his character is suited to being a lawyer.  One can see his going back to his former career, he was Director of Prosecutions.   The PM has to have charisma these days, even liked would be nice! So if no contest, the job goes to Andy Burnham, King of the North, let's hope he is up to the job!.

Switzerland talks are stalled - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " Iranian negotiators suspend talks with US in protest over Trump threats.....US president has threatened to bomb Iran and kidnap negotiating team unless strait of Hormuz reopened "

Let's Get Real:

VP Vance was happy talk, while Trump was again making threats to Iran.  Its down to Lebanon again and the bad deal by Trump.    The deal gave to many concessions to Iran, US hawks have been critical of the deal, as they should be, it nearly as bad as Munich 1938.  The US has to win the WAR and not give concessions to Iran.

Trump could hit Iran Again - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.34pm post the following, " Trump threatens to 'hit Iran very hard' if it doesn't stop Hezbollah 'causing trouble' " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS does not understand the Middle East, all he understands is real estate and reality TV.  The Jerusalem Government is not going to take orders from Trump, the Government has elections coming up, so does Trump.  The Trump cannot bully Jerusalem any more, the Lebanon War is popular in Israel, it secures Northen Israel from attacks by Hezbollah.  Thus Trump know threatens Iran, Trump has shown he is a chicken of the first order.   They are empty threats from Trump,  he has made to many.  At least the Switzerland talks are going well in the Vice - President Vance, will it be Trump or Vance that are successful.
