Israel should not have struck Beirut - Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.51pm post the following, " Let's not blow it': Trump says Israel's attack on Beirut 'should not have happened' "

Let's Get Real:

All politics is local as a great Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives once stated.  The Jerusalem Government has to think of the forthcoming elections, the Opposition parties are tougher on Hezbollah than the present Government, thus the Government has to respond to ant attacks on its soldiers or Northen Israel.  On this the Jerusalem Government is right and Trump only cares about Trump and his birthday, today.

Let's Not Blow It, Trump on US - Deal - update

BBC News: Reports in its 3.54pm post the following, " Let's not blow it': Trump says Israeli attack on Beirut 'should not have happened' "

Let's Get Real:

One does wonder if Trump is going to phone Israel to complain, and will Jerusalem take any notice. Israel is not the 51st State, the Israeli PM should not take orders from the Oval.  There are elections in Israel and the US, in the US the Trump Oval could lose the House of Representatives to the Democrats, while the Israeli PM could lose his job.  All politics is local.

IRAN wary about singing deal tomorrow - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " President Donald Trump has said a deal to end fighting between the US and Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday, after Iran cast doubt on the timing. "

Let's Get Real:

It's all about Trump, his birthday tomorrow and it's all about him, no wonder that Tehran is playing about with signing the deal.  Enough is enough, after 2028, non billionaire is need in the Oval please, for the sanity of the World.

US - Iran Deal to be signed tomorrow - Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 5.51pm post the following, " Deal scheduled to be signed tomorrow, Trump says "

Let's Get Real:

Even the VP does not want his fingerprints on the document, it will be done by computer.  How bad is the deal, when will the Strait open, how about Iran's nuclear stockpile, will it ever be removed?  It's Munich 1938 all over again.

Andy Burnham on Welfare - Update

The Times ( Hard Copy ): Reports that Andy Burnham has stated he would cut welfare to increase Defence spending.

Let's Get Real:

Andy Burnham states that he will cut welfare in a new way, in other words he is afraid to take on Labour backbenchers if he is elected on Thursday as MP for Makerfield, and becomes PM after a leadership contest.  There is a simple and controversial answer, no one gets welfare under 25.  In less they are dire circumstances or are not in training or education.  That would be BOLD and the right thing to do!

Deal Close - Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.00pm post the following, " Peace deal has 'never been closer', Iranian foreign minister says  "

Let's Get Real:

The Iranian Government could be one faction in Iran, even if it was reported that the President offered to resign as the government was being shut out of talks.  The hardliners would be the Revolutionary Guard, who want to play hardball with the Americans, it depends who Trump has been talking too, the Doves or the Hawks.  Thus we await more confirmation about the deal from the US and Iran, is the Supreme Leader still alive and active in the talks!  Trump's Presidential Credibility has been shattered by the War of his making.

Update: Sky News reports in its 6.23pm post that,   The Memorandum of Understanding states that the ceasefire will be extended by 60 days.  There will be free access through the Strait of Hormuz, the US will lift the Blockade.   The Iranian nuclear stockpile will be destroyed in Iran and taken out of the Country.  The Tehran Government will only gain gaine benefits back if they follow through on the agreement.  Lets see how this works out, will the US Navy stay AROUND to enforce the deal when Tehran breaks it and they will, to miss quote Reagan, Don't trust and verify, a terrorist Regime cannot be trusted.

Trump CRITICAL of Tehran Regime - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump blasts Iranian media reports, says country must ‘get its act together’  "

Let's Get Real:

Thus we are back to were we started, a very confused world.  One can take the view that Iran is trying to sell the deal to its own people, by lying about the Memorandum of Understanding, or another view that the factions in Tehran are trying to get the upper hand with nominal Supreme Leader under the control of one of the factions.  On D.C front Trump does not want to be seen as an appeaser, what is the TRUTH, God Knows!
