The LEFT on John Bolton - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

It did not take long for the left to come out and bash the choice of Ambassador John Bolton as President Trump's new National Security Advisor, the left thinks that Bolton is going to lead Trump or is that the other way around in to another War, either in Iran or with North Korea.  Being a pundit on Fox news of long standing, it will be interesting to see if Bolton can be less of a hawk to the general world.   The left is already thinking that he will drag Trump and the US in to another War, it would be shock if Trump and Bolton could get a good deals with North Korea and Iran.   It is interesting days in D.C.

Trouble and Strife within the Labour Party - Update 3 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

There is something to be said about staying within the Customs Union and Single Market, it prevents some of the radical polices of Corbyn's Labour Party, they could not take over vast areas of business as it would be against EU law.   Also Lady Thatcher was rather proud of the single market that was supported by the then Conservative Government.   The trouble and strife in Labour is the mirror of the problems within the Conservative Party, you have a few remainers who want the EU more than the UK to be in control.  One thing about Brexit, it has bought some fun back in to politics. 

Trouble and Strife with Labour - Update 2 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

It seems that Jeremy Corbyn does not like dissent within his Shadow Cabinet, what a irony, Corbyn has hardly followed the LABOUR line in the past, it shows what happens once you give people power.   The LABOUR PARTY has to accept that it has a leader who in his heart of hearts is a hard Brexit supporter, but is being forced by hard remainers to stay within the Customs Union.   It would not shock this blog if the Labour Party split over Brexit, with the hard remainers forming a partnership with the Liberal Democrats and a few Conservatives. Trouble and Strife all around really. 

Trouble and Strife within the Labour Party - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The hard remainers within the Labour Party have to remember that in their elected leader you have a hard Brexit supporter who can not say that and keep the Labour Party together.   Jeremy Corbyn under pressure has agreed to a SOFT Brexit.   The Labour policy is to keep the UK in the EU Customs Union, while being out of the Single Market, that would restrict any Corbyn Government in the future.   It should be stated that Lady Thatcher was rather proud of the Single Market as it was pushed by the Conservative Government at the time, its limits how much a Government can do within the business sector. 

The Left Wing and Bolton - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

As Ambassador Bolton is a hawk the Governments of North Korea and Iran should be worried, a first strike is not out of the question with both Trump and Bolton being hawks on the Obama/ Iran deal.   On the issue of North Korea it will be interesting, as Trump has agreed to meet the North Korean leader, one would assume that Trump and Bolton have talked about the issue and are on the same page, the problem is what is on the page, will Trump really meet with the North Korea leader, Trump does not like to look weak on the World Stage.   One can assume that US Foreign Policy will become more hawkish and run from the White House, never boring days at the Oval. 

Trump's new National Security Advisor - John Bolton - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The Diplomats in the US State Department will not be happy with the choice of Ambassador John Bolton as Trump's New National Security Adviser, the Ambassador has no time for the UN, is a hawk when it comes to taking military action, Iran and North Korea will be concerned that Trump with the support of Bolton could take military action at some point.    The US left will have a fit, expect the elite media to come out against Bolton, it should be noted that Bush 43 could only make Bolton the UN Ambassador when the US Congress was in recess, thus the Oval could appoint Bolton, it is doubtful that the US Senate would have passed Bolton for the UN Job.
