Dark Prince, Lord Peter Mandelson arrested - Update

BBC News: Reports " Peter Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office "

Let's Get Real:

This is a shock, this blog thought the Mandelson  case had gone quiet.  It was just a matter of time, it is reported that former PM, Gordon Brown is furious with Mandelson, he made the Dark Prince his Deputy after all, did the security services check him out at the time.  Have noticed Tony Blair has been very quiet about Mandelson, he was his friend, bought him back to government after he was forced to resign.  ONE does question the judgement of Blair, Brown and Starmer, the present PM.  The cases of Mounbatten- Windsor( Australia has agreed to drop Andrew from the line of succession to the Crown ) and Mandelson will take a long time, both arrested on the same charge.


US Targets in Iran

CNN: Reports  " Trump’s riskiest move: What led Iran to this moment — and what happens next  "

Let's Get Real:

There are talks on Thursday in Geneva as reported by Sky News, neither side want to compromise, Trump wants Iran's nuclear material, limits on its Ballistic Missiles, and freedom for those in Iran to protest.   The Tehran Regime only wants to talk about its nuclear material and keeping it in Iran, only short term limits for its nuclear programme and the end of sanctions.   The Oval needs more than that, it has moved two aircraft carriers in to the region, and other ships and subs, the greatest naval armada since the WAR in Iraq.  The Oval cannot WIMP out if it wants to keep Presidential credibility, look at what happened to LBJ over Vietnam and Obama with Syria, once lost credibility  is hard to get back.  Tehran is afraid to look weak to its oppressed people and to neighbours in the Area.  Thus clock is counting down to Trump's deadline.

Iran a week away from the bomb - Update

 Fox News: Reports "Witkoff warns Iran is ‘a week away’ from 'bomb-making material' as Trump weighs action......Steve Witkoff says Iran has violated Trump's 'zero enrichment' red line with uranium enriched up to 60%  "

Let's Get Real:

If the above is TRUE, one assumes the information came from Mossad's Israel, they have their spies and tech people to keep themselves and US informed at the latest state of play when it comes to Iran. Thus the US bombing last year had not the desired outcome, Tehran still has its nuclear stockpile, it has to be destroyed by either the US or Israel.  The 15 day countdown has been ticking for a few days, the Tehran Regime must fancy their chances of riding out a US attack, one hopes sanity will return to Tehran, they need to cave, they should not play Trump, either he wimps out, or goes 100% and removes the Regime! 

Iran willing to dilute its nuclear stockpile - Update

Guardian:  Reports " Iran willing to dilute uranium stockpile as fresh protests erupt  "

Let's Get Real:

This is a WEAK offer by Iran, you don't send two aircraft carriers to the Middle East to be bought off so easily, what will Trump DO? WIMP out or take firm action, he has not sold a WAR to the American people, he said last year that American bombing had destroyed Iran's nuclear stockpile, it seems that is not the case, can he walk that back?  The State of the Union is on Tuesday, what will Trump say about Iran, if anything.  The MAGA base does not want another WAR, what will Trump decided. The clock is counting DOWN.


Students Protest in Iran - Updste

BBC News: Reports that Iranian students have been protesting around Iran.

Let's Get Real:

These are brave students, specially after the Government crackdown in January.   The students are the future of Iran, the Regime is the PAST.   The article also notes that President Trump is frustrated why the Tehran Regime has not caved, that is easy to answer, they would be hung from the nearest yard arm if they gave up power and they know that, the Regime is EVIL. Evil has to be destroyed, a new Iran has to be reborn, let's hope Trump does not wimp out this time, the future is at stake!  Iran cannot be allowed to have Nukes or nuclear material, they could give a dirty bomb to their terrorist Allies.

Trump considering LIMITED STRIKE on IRAN - Update

Fox News: Reports that President Trump is considering a limited strike on Iran to get them to the Negation Table.

Let's Get Real:

This is the REAL TRUMP, he wants a limited war and Tehran caving to what he wants, no nukes and access to their oil.   The biggest build up of US military forces is to send a warning to Iran, the problem is everyone has Trump's number, limited WAR with GOOOD TV HEADLINES.   The Oval does not want body bags of US Military Personnel, it does not want to place land forces in Iran, after the perceived and actual failure in AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, Biden's polls never recovered after the failed departing of American from Afghanistan, Trump does not want that before the November Elections.  IF Tehran had a brain cell it would cave, and the Regime would be safe from Trump, that is the question will Tehran cave to US demands.

US Supreme Court strikes down Trump's Tariffs - Update

 

Sky News: Reports in its 3.03pm post that " the court has now struck down the tariffs, meaning the administration could face huge financial consequences. "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS will hit the roof, he has used tariffs as a gun, forcing Countries in to DEALS, and he will have to pay back billions, a lot of billions.  This will hit hard before the Mid Terms in November, the Democrats and the liberal press will stuff this down the Oval's throat.  This could have consequences, Trump will feel this decision by the Court and will try to work around it, this shows that the American system does work, Congress might not keep Trump in line, but the Courts do at the end of the day ACT.  POTUS might need to feel to show that he is still strong, by attacking Iran, before the Democrats take charge o the Congress and use the WAR POWERS ACT of 1973 against him, in that ACT a President can act for six weeks but then requires Congressional approval, a split Congress, the HOUSE in the hands of the Democrats and the Republicans in charge of the Senate, might complex the case for WAR. Events, boy Events can hinder any political leader when he least expects it.   What will Trump do to show he still in control.
