Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi mend fenches - Update

Noted: Getting my copy of Biden's memoirs on the 17th.  Support your local book store.

CNN: Reports the following, " Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are mending fences after his 2024 dropout, his new book says "

Let's Get Real:

It seems that the Former President has forgiven the former House Speaker for her backstabbing of him in 2024, it will make for one he'll of a drama for a Broadway Play or TV.   It can postulated that Mrs B is less forgiving of the political treachery as shown by her own memoir.  The former President is less forgiving of the Democratic Party, from former President Obama who wanted him out, after the debate, Obama in his first debate with Romney in 2012 did not go well.  

On the whole an honest memoir, one does wonders if the former President will have much presence in the 2028 campaign, he is not popular in the Democratic Party.

VP Vance taken off Iran Brief - Update

Daily Mail: Reports that President Trump has pulled VP Vance from the Iran Brief and told him to investigate corruption in Democratic held cities.

Let's Get Real:

This is punishment from Trump, the VP Vance threw Trump and his Iran policy under the bus after the defeats in the Mid Terms.  There would be punishment from the Oval, in 1968 it is reported that LBJ bugged his own VP to know if he was going to break with him over Vietnam, LBJ also bugged the supporters of the Nixon campaign and discovered Nixon was trying to sabotage the Paris peace talks.  Thus Vance got off lightly in Trump World.  At least Vance can say he was off the Iran brief in the 2028 campaign for President.   At least Trump has not bugged him to our knowledge.

The US Envoys to meet President Zelensky in Dublin - Update

Sky News: Reports the following, " Witkoff and Kushner to meet Zelensky after talks with Putin, as Ukraine says Starshield restricted again "

Let's Get Real:

The talks in Moscow got nowhere, the Russians are open to European powers taking part as long as they appease Russia.  In the end talks are pointless, the Russians have their maximalist demands and Ukraine will not budge, Europe must support the Ukraine or they are next to face the wrath of Russia.  The Europeans cannot allow another Yalta, as this would lead to WW3, the Russian Bear has to be curbed or it will be Poland on the Baltic States next.

Putin offers another limited ceasefire - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its 12.34pm post, " Putin proposes humanitarian mission in Kostiantynivka following Oleshky model "

Let's Get Real:

This is a sob to the US First Lady, Putin wants keep  Mrs Trump happy, the only person that frightens Trump! This look good in the eyes of POTUS and his appsement policy of Russia and Putin.  This move will allow the Russians to move their forces around to attack the Ukraine in the future. This endless war will go on.

Satellite problems for Ukrainian Forces - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his country's military was again facing "systematic" restrictions to Starlink's military-grade service, meaning Kyiv was struggling to intercept Russian jet-powered drones. "

Let's Get Real:

The US Delegation is in Russia for talks, and what happens the Ukrainian forces have trouble operating their military defence shield, either Musk or Trump are playing games, appeasing the Russians.  The Russians as stated yesterday are sticking with their maximalist demands, the Russians are placing pressure on the US to force the Ukraine to give ground.  It will be interesting to see what the Democrats can do to help Zelensky and the Ukraine after they take power in January.  

Biden didn't think his debate with Trump mattered - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Biden ripped for ‘totally delusional’ claim about debate that preceded his 2024 exit "

Let's Get Real:

This blog was shocked to hear the former President saying his 2024 debate with President Trump did not matter and that Biden thought that there would be another debate with Trump! The debate performance by Biden was the worse in history, even beating the Carter vs. Ford debate on foreign policy in 1976, President Ford gave the impression that Eastern Europe was not under control of the USSR, that was bad, Biden debate has set the bench mark for bad, and shown Candidates can be changed at short notice.  This blogger has ordered the Biden memoirs, can't wait to read it, should be interesting!

The US must place pressure on the Russians - President Zelensky- Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its 7.11pm post, " A lot depends on Russia - but more depends on US': Zelenskyy gives update on peace talks.

Let's Get Real:

The Russians have not changed their maximalist demands, they want the entire Donbas and the Ukraine to be a puppet State of Russia, no EU or NATO membership either. They also want to roll back of Eastern States in NATO.    That is clear, Moscow knows it only has 2 years of the Trump Presidency, they want the US, Ukraine and Western and Eastern Europe to make major concessions before there is new President who will not appease Moscow.  Ukraine and coalition of the willing have to say NO, so does Europe as a whole. POTUS cannot be trusted.
