Trump is delusional AGAIN !! - Update

Sky News:  Reports in 5.15pm post the following, " Iran 'dying to make a deal', Trump says "

Let's Get Real:

It does not matter how many times Trump says above, it does not make it true in the real world.  There is still the problem of Tehran's nuclear stockpile or dust as Trump calls it, also that Tehran wants to charge a fee for tankers using the Strait of Hormuz, this is something the World cannot afford.  The US has to win and be seen to win the Iran War, no spinning defeat as a victory.

US Peace Deal with Iran ? - Update

Fox News: Reports in its latest post the following, " No Iran, US deal reached yet, gaps narrow in Trump nuclear negotiations: report 

Let's Get Real:

As the post points out the main sticking points are Tehran's nuclear stockpile  or dust as called by Trump and control of the Strait of Hormuz.  The Trump Oval has to win on these points or the WAR will be seen as a strategic mistake even if on the Tactical level the US had successful War.  The US - Iran War is not popular with the American people, the price of gas has gone up, with inflation the American people are having a tough time living on their wages.  Trump has to win soon before the November Mid Terms.

Burnham willl bring NEW HOPE for thec UK - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 10.54am post the following, " Hope is in the air,' says Burnham at campaign launch.......British politics is tired. It needs a new script. And over the next four weeks, the people of Makerfield are going to write that script.” 

Let's Get Real:

This does remind one of Tony Blair and New Labour.  A dirty word these days in Labour circles.  The one memory one has of Tony Blair is the IRAQ WAR, one hopes that Burnham is not offering a rehash of New Labour under new management.  The voters of Makerfield deserve better, what are the problems in the area, it can't just be about Burnham ambition to be PM.

Cuba is next for Trump ? - Update


Let's Get Real:

Cuba is 90 miles from Florida and has been a thorn in the US for decades.  The Communist Regime has supported left wing Regimes in Southern and Central.   The fall of the USSR in 1991, cut off the main supporter of Cuba, Venezuela under the know imprisoned President gave them oil, that has stopped under US pressure.  Taking Cuba would be a major success for Trump, as long as it can be done peacefully or limited military action  JFK would be smiling from Presidential heaven.
