Trump LEADS Biden is new Poll - 2024 candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " CNN Poll: Trump maintains lead over Biden in 2024 matchup as views on their presidencies diverge..Trump’s support in the poll among registered voters holds steady at 49% in a head-to-head matchup against Biden, the same as in CNN’s last national poll on the race in January, while Biden’s stands at 43%, not significantly different from January’s 45%.  "

Lets Get Real:

Typical of CNN to play down the result of a poll, they seem more than happy to celebrate the President performance at a reporters dinner, when you ASK REAL PEOPLE if reporters should get a slap on the back, the real answer one could not print, something like a GULAG is to good for them.  Biden cannot take re-election for granted, whatever the deluded reporters on CNN think.   Biden needs to be out in the SWING STATES, even if the secret service have to hold him straight up.  Biden should keep to a simple message, the economy is good, inflation will go down, that Trump could lead WW3, that Trump is a security threat.  The people of the Ukraine have to be supported and Trump will not do that, and Russia has to be countered around the World.

Secret Long Range Missiles to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia - Biden Era

CNN: Reports  " US secretly sent long-range missiles to Ukraine after months of resistance.....The US delivered long-range missiles to Ukraine earlier this month that the Biden administration had previously refused to send following a directive from President Joe Biden, the Pentagon said Wednesday.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Administration has to get out of its down way, the Kyiv Government has been begging for these missiles for months, the Biden Oval did not want to to cause problems with Russia and create more tension, when will it learn this is the 1930s all over again, Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL, and no politician with any self respects will never shake his hand again.  Putin's Russia is like Hitler's Germany pre 1939, it is only a matter of time before it strikes a NATO Country on purpose or by accident with intent.   The Baltic States should be a worry, Putin is trying to create the former USSR or Tsarist Russia,  when Finland was a Grand Dutchy.  The Ukraine must be allowed to hit within Russia, the people of Russia have to wake up, only they can overthrow Putin and his EVIL REGIME. 

The Military Kit the US is sending to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.11pm post the following,  " 

Biden immediately approves sending $1bn in military aid to Ukraine...

The package includes air defence capabilities, artillery rounds and armoured vehicles.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine forces in the field having growing short of ammo, the Russians just throw men at the front, its a meat grinder, the Russian Forces are using WW2 rule, if Russian Soldiers retreat they get shot, also Putin is using prisoners to throw at the Ukraine forces.   The West needs to increase the Military it to the Ukraine, Putin cannot be allowed to win, that could lead to WW3.  The Biden Administration will need more aid packages from the US Congress, well before the November election, Biden should be planning for that NOW.   There must be no restrictions on the Ukraine when it comes to fighting this WAR, the Kyiv Government should be allowed to use long range missiles and to hit Russia.   This would shock the Russian people and Putin.  Today is a god day for the Ukraine, there need to be more good days.

US Sending 1 billion military aid to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " War in Ukraine: US to send new aid right away, Biden says...US President Joe Biden has signed a $95bn (£76bn) package of aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.  "

Lets Get Real:

The aid from the US had taken months, the Trump wing of the Republican Party has bought the Russian line, and therefore does not want to spend a penny on the Ukraine and its WAR with Russia.   The Russian Forces have made gradual advances in the East of the Ukraine, taking back villages and towns that it lost to the Ukraine at the start of the WAR.   There is an expectation of a Russian offensive in May of this year, the new US aid is expected to arrive within this week.   The Russians have increased missile attacks on the Cities of the Ukraine, and have hit Odesa hard.  Kyiv Government was asking for the same defence at Israel has with the Western ALLIES, the UK is sending 500 million to the Ukraine, the Ukraine has to be defended against Russian aggression.   This is the 1930s  all over again.

Iran plays DOWN the Israeli Attack - Israeli - Iran Cold War - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Iran calls Israeli strike 'infiltration' as it downplays attack on Supreme Leader's birthday...US secretary of state Antony Blinken repeatedly refuses to be drawn on the incident, but insists America was not involved "in any offensive operations" and stresses the focus is on de-escalation and avoiding a wider Middle East conflict.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus as stated we have a score draw between the sides, Iran will be careful to use Hamas in Gaza or Hezbollah in Lebanon for future attacks, Israel will not react well to a 2nd strike, whatever POTUS wants, the problem will come if Iran gets the BOMB, then whoever is President will have to ACT, Iran is a threat to the region and to Western security, and no President can allow Iran to get close to the bomb.   A nuclear armed Iran with help from the Russians, due to Iran helping Russia with its drones for the Ukraine War, would worry the Gulf States in the region.  Also it only takes one BOMB dropped on Israel to remove it as a threat in the eyes of Iran.  Thus it is beneficial that Israel has the BOMB, or bombs in the plural, thus Iran knows that it could never use the bomb on Israel, as Israel would counter and remove Iran from the map.   Thus the weekend is clear and the West can breath more easily and so can the Middle East.

NATO promises more Air Defences for the Ukraine - Russia - Ukraine War - Biden Era

The Israeli - Iran conflict has turned in to a draw, Israel hit Iran with 3 missiles, but the Tehran Regime is playing it down, does not want to escalation, neither does Israel or the Western Allies.   The Two Countries can go back to their shadow boxing, Israeli kills those close to Iran's nuclear project, and Iran can use their terrorist groups in Gaza and Lebanon to hit Israel.    THERE will be a next time!

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine war: Nato pledges more advanced air defences to Kyiv "

Lets Get Real: 

The Kyiv Government was asking for the same cover that the ALLIES gave to ISRAEL, as the Israeli Iron Dome and the Western Allies showed they could shoot down drones, missiles and have no real damage,  thus helping the West with its influence with ISRAEL and its limited and narrow attack on Iran.  The Russians are making small advances, but without Western support the Ukraine will lose in the long term.   The House of Representatives  in the US is expected to pass funding for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan, this has been a hard slog, and the Trump influence has not helped, he is so pro Putin, what would the Gipper have thought.   At some point Western troops will be needed in the Ukraine.

UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron on Israeli reaction to Iran's missile Attack - Middle East - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Israel ‘making decision to act’ after Iran attack, says Cameron on Jerusalem visit...UK foreign secretary is probably first non-Israeli politician to admit military reprisal is inevitable but urges Israel not to escalate "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we wait for the Israeli Government to ACT, one can postulate that Israel will hit, if it is going to on the weekend, no sovereign state could tolerate the recent attacks by drones, cruise missiles and ballistic  missiles and not go on the offensive, deterrence only works if the other side is afraid of the reaction.   The Israeli Government has the Iron Dome, it can shoot down drones, cruise and ballistic missiles, it is very much like Reagan's SDI, a shield to protect Israel, and makes any reaction by Iran a near failure.   If Israel hits Iran's nuclear facilitates  it could set Iran months back from having the bomb, and allow Biden not be an appeaser is the Oval Office.   Time will tell.

Israel to act in narrow and limited IRAN STRIKE - US - Middle East - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.05pm post the following, " US believes Israel planning 'narrow and limited strike' inside Iran - reports...The US is expecting Israel's military response to the Iranian strikes to be limited in scope, sources have told CNN.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be postulated that Israel will not ACT in till the weekend, the UK Foreign Secretary is coming for a visit, also Germany.    The Israeli will not want to embarrass the UK or Germany.   A narrow and limited strike will remind the Iran Regime, that there is a PRICE for its attack, this blog would not be surprised if Israel hits Hamas in Gaza hard but also Hezbollah in Lebanon rather than hit Iran.   It can be argued that Israeli honour would be served but without an escalation in the Region.   The nagging thought that this blog has, what happens next time, and there will be a next time, when the US and the Allies are dealing with the Ukraine or China invading Taiwan, who will defend Israel then?   That is a open question, Biden and Sunak could be OUT of office THEN, the West it can be argued is in 1930s mode, they want to appease threats, that never lasts, is WW3 around the corner.

UN Body concerned that Israel will hit Iran's nuclear facilities - Israel Answer to Iran Attack - Middle East - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.39am post the following, " 

UN nuclear watchdog 'concerned' Israel could target Iranian nuclear facilities.....

The United Nations nuclear watchdog chief says he is worried Israel could target Iranian nuclear facilities. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog doubts that Israel will hit Iran's nuclear facilities, the Israeli Government would only hit those if the US went along with it, the Oval Office has an appeaser at the moment, well when it comes to Iran, Biden has made it clear that the US will not joint any attack on Iran.  The more likely targets are Iran's Command and Control structure or its terrorist groups in Gaza or Lebanon, of course time will tell, the Israeli special forces might be used or a cyber attack on Tehran.   The World is calling out for restraint from Israel, no Country would not do something, let's recall that Iran shot 320 drones, cruise missiles and Ballistic missiles at Israel, there has to be a response, Israel has many options on the table.  

What will Israel do after it was ATTACKED by Iran? - Middle East - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " All eyes on Israel's response to Iran drone and missile attacks....The Israeli military says 99% of the missiles and drones fired by Iran overnight were intercepted without hitting their targets. Iran said the assault was in response to a deadly attack on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria two weeks ago. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog got it WRONG, it never thought IRAN would attack Israel, the question next, is what will Israel do? No Sovereign Country could accept last night's attack and DO NOTHING, Biden says take the WIN, no one was hurt, no buildings destroyed, a child is in hospital, it could have been a lot worse, Israel has its IRAN DOME, to take out incoming attacks from DRONES, CRUISE MISSILES, and BALLISTIC MISSILES, ALSO Israel had help from the UK, US, and Jordan. In all Iran threw 320+ of the above at Israel, 99% were shot down.   This blog would not trust Biden with foreign policy advice, but and of course there is always a but, Israel should hit Israel back, a limited attack, the US has said will not join in any attack, thus Israel has to be careful, Israel could take out military bases that launched the attack last night, the Command and Control structure of Iran, or go fir the BIG ATTACK, take out Iran plans to have the BOMB.  This is a developing story. 

Biden to defend Israel if ATTACKED by IRAN - Middle East - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Biden vows ‘ironclad’ US commitment to Israel amid fears of Iran attack.....US president and allied officials fear ‘significant’ strike within days in retaliation for Israeli bombing of consular building in Damascus  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog will bet that Iran will not strike Israel with a direct missile from Iran, that would mean ALL BET ARE OFF, Israel would counter any strike, with a strike on Iran, let's recall ISRAEL hit Iraq's nuclear site in 1981 and did the same with Syria in recent years.   Also let's recall that Israel has the BOMB, it could wipe out Iran if it wanted too, or if Iran become a MAJOR THREAT to Iran.   POTUS has to say the above, he has stabbed Israel in the back over its war in Gaza.   This blog could be wrong, it is not unknown, a terrorist attack on an Embassy is more likely, enough to hurt Israel, but without giving them reason to attack Iran Itself.  The Tehran Regime is not stupid or suicidal at the present. 

Israel withdraws from South Southern Gaza - Israeli - Gaza War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Gazans return to scenes of devastation in Khan Younis..On Monday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had set a date for a planned military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where many of those returning to Khan Younis had been sheltering.  "

Lets Get Real:

The IDF has been removed to please the Americans, Biden read the riot act to the Israeli PM, he has taken his time, the hope is that his polls will improve in the swing states.  There are a lot of Americans of Arab Decent there.  On the other hand the Biden Administration is sending arms to Israel, we shall see if Biden is all rhetoric and no substance over the next few days.  It has been clear to those that read this blog that it supports Israel, with the exception when British Citizens or interests are hurt, Israel has made it point to Hamas, NOW is the time for hard peace talks for both sides.  

Trump on Abortion - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Trump says abortion law should be left to states....Trump reiterated his support for exceptions allowing for the procedure in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is at risk.  "

Lets Get Real:

Donald Trump has made a political decision, he knows he will not win in less he can get the women of the suburbs to VOTE FOR HIM, the Democrats have made it  clear that they will use abortion as major issue in the 2024 race, thus Trump is going half way, leaving it up to the States, those women in the Suburbs have the money to Liberal States for an abortion, but also states he supports exceptions, this is aimed at poor women.  As a CNN report stated, the left will not be happy, they want abortion on demand, while the right want to ban abortion.   The polls over the next few days will be interesting, will it cost Trump or get him more support. 

The Swing States - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Here’s where the Biden-Trump polls stand in 7 swing states....Biden swept almost all of them on the way to his victory four years ago, but polls have mostly shown Trump in the lead in each of them so far. "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Campaign should send Biden out to the swing States every month in till November, the campaign will have to take the RISK that he will say or do something stupid, the blog does not care if Biden is on his death bed, or senile, if POTUS wants a 2nd term he needs to fight Trump in the Swing States.   The Gaza - Israeli War has damaged Biden with the Arab and Progressive voters in these States, he has stabbed Israel in the back before, he will need to so again, cut arms sales, pass a UN Resolution that accepts that Israel is doing WAR CRIMINAL actions, that could be effective with Israeli voters.   The security of the West is at stake, Trump cannot be allowed near the Oval Office AGAIN.  If POTUS wants to remain POTUS, he needs to be on the Campaign Trail.

UK Citizens killed by Israel - Israel - Gaza War - Middle East - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports "  Middle East latest: Israeli PM Netanyahu should be removed now, predecessor says - as he condemns 'disgusting' airstrike that killed three Britons...Benjamin Netanyahu has "failed" the country and his handling of the war has been "outrageous", a former Israeli prime minister has said. It comes after seven aid workers, including three Britons, were killed in an IDF strike on their convoy.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is a strong defender of Israel, but there as limits, when UK Citizens are killed and they were charity workers, Israel has crossed the line.  The UK Government should demand an investigation by Judicial sources in Israel, the Israeli Government is charge of the actions taken in Gaza, enough is enough, the good guys always tell their friends the TRUTH, the War in Gaza should be OVER, Israel cannot act like its viewpoint is all that matters. Time for ISRAEL to rethink this War, the EVIL done by one side, does not give Israel to do what it likes. It is just after Easter after all.

Iran threatens reaction to Syria Strike - Middle East - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Iran vows to avenge deadly Syria strike blamed on Israel...Iran has vowed to respond to what it said was an Israeli strike on Monday that destroyed an Iranian consulate building in Syria's capital, Damascus.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Tehran Regime would be MAD to strike Israel or the US, anything that combine these forces would cause a major threat to the Tehran Regime.   The US might take the chance to remove the threat of a nuclear Iran.  One can expect an increase in low level attacks by rockets and drones, on US bases and Israel.   The Israeli Government should be on ALERT for such an attack, the same goes for the US.  The Biden Oval might see the political benefits of attacking Iran, it would help Biden in November and it would be warning to China, Russia, North Korea, to be very careful in what they do.  One doubts that the assassinations in Syria will lead to a wider regional war, the Axis of Evil is to weak to take on the US at the moment.

Israeli ATTACK on Syria - Middle East - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog:  Reports in its 9.43pm post the following, "  A suspected Israeli strike has destroyed the Iranian consulate building in Syria's capital, Damascus, Syrian state media report.. .Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps says seven of its members were killed in the strike....Senior Revolutionary Guards commander Brig-Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi was among the dead, according the IRGC statement  "

Lets Get Real:

One presumes the Biden Oval NOW knows it was Israel that staged the attack, this shows that the THREATS to Israel in not just Hamas in Gaza, its the operations of Iran in the Middle East, done through the Iran's revolutionary Guards, a major THREAT to Israel, the Tehran Regime has promised a reaction, one doubts they will go to far, because they cannot take ON Israel and the US.  Israel has the right to defend itself, even take action first if it is under threat in the future. One does wonder how they allowed the 7th of October terror attacks to be planed under their nose, it is about time that Israel investigated this failure.  The attack today is a clear warning to other Countries in the region.
