The Ukraine offensive has been successful - The White House


Lets Get Real:

The White House has taken its time in coming out with praise for the Ukraine offensive, the Russians want a negative image of the offensive, the Ukraine and the West has not fought a war like this since WW2.  In honesty everyone thought WW3 would start with a crisis in the Middle East with Iran and its nukes aim or Taiwan and Chia.  The Defence planers thought the non nuclear WAR had its day, the failure of Afghanistan showed that no matter the time and the money that the West spent that you can not force people to accept democracy and its culture.   At least with Iraq, there is some peace with US support, it keeps Iran on its toes.  The Ukraine should aim to take the Crimea, this would undercut Putin at home, of course there is the risk that this could be a red line for Putin,  would he go nuclear, battlefield nuclear weapons to prevent the Ukraine from taking the Crimea, so far his threats have not matched with real action on the ground.  Thus Kyiv should not listen to the doom Sayers, on ward and forward for the Ukraine Army. 

Trump's Trial to be shown on TV - 2024 Candidate/2024 General Election

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump's election fraud trial in Georgia will be livestreamed...Donald Trump's trial in Georgia over charges of election fraud will be livestreamed and televised, a judge has ruled.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Trial will become a media show trial, you have politics, a celebrity President and the fate of the US at stake.  One can see Trump putting up his tie for auction to fund his defence team.   The trial can go two ways, the cult of Trump fades  and is broken or it gives Trump his 2nd term.  The Democrats have made a major mistake by using the legal system on Trump, the next time, and there will be a next time, the Republicans will go after Biden, POTUS better be clean, or the Democrats will suffer in the 2024 General Election.  IF re-elected Trump will Pardon himself, then go after the Biden Department of Justice, the federal charges against Trump will be dropped, and  the lawyers sacked.   In the good old days, in smoke filled rooms, these kind of incidents will be solved over a cigar and brandy, there is something to be said for that even today.
