Biden on the G7 Summit - Biden Era

The White House: Remarks by President Biden before the G7 Meeting, the President stated the following on his Agenda, " Strengthening the alliance and make it clear to Putin and to China that Europe and the United States are tight, and the G7 is going to move.  "

Lets Get Real:

After the disaster that was President Trump, POTUS needs to get the US back in the game, as in leading the West, he will want close ties with the EU, will want to make sure that the Good Friday Agreement is kept in place, as to Putin, why does this blog think that Putin will eat Biden for breakfast, he has been around since 2000, he has seen US Presidents come and go.   Trump bent over backwards to be nice to Putin, God only knows why, no normal President would have done that.   One hopes that Biden is tough on Putin, that the cyber attacks from Russia must be stopped, it does not matter if they are State sponsored or private groups, Moscow must do something, of course there will be discussions on the Ukraine and the Russian actions during the 2016 and 2020 Presidential Elections.   As for China, the Biden Oval will understand that China buys most of the US debt, so one cannot upset your banker to much, if China sold ALL it BONDS, the Western economy would go in to tail spin, China would be hurt, but they think long term.   Interesting G7 meeting coming up. 

When will the UK revoke the Northern Ireland Protocol ?- Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The UK should invoke Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol, this allows for either the EU or the UK to revoke elements of the deal that are not working for the people of Northern Ireland.   The EU and the BBC/Sky News/Guardian types will not be happy if the UK does this, but let's recall that the EU started the ball rolling on this before it reversed itself.   Thus the EU broke the glass on this issue, thus the UK should use a legal part of the Protocol to send British Sausages and other cold meats to the province.   The Protocol as caused problems in the Northern Ireland, the Unionist's see it as a way to distance province from the rest of the UK and to push them in to the Republic of Ireland.  Time for the UK PM to tell the EU, this and no further, the UK is a Sovereign State, we decide on trade for the rest of the UK.
