Trump's Committed to NATO

Guardian: Reports that President Trump has committed US support for Collective Security of NATO.

Lets Get Real:

This will make Europe happy, it should not, Trump can change his mind in a second, Spain has irked him by not agreeing to a 5% increase in defence spending, Trump in his own eyes is the Sun Kimg in his political universe, everyone is lesser, he loves praise, he needs it to breathe. Europe has to defend the Ukraine from Russia, it can't count on the US, POTUS is the lap dog of Putin of Russia.

Did the US destroy Iran's Nuclear Facilities- Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 9.16 pm post that American Intelligence suggests that the US did completely destroy Iran's nuclear facilities with its bombing.

Lets Get Real:

If this assessment is correct then it will cause POTUS to be very angry about the assessment and that it was leaked to the Liberal CNN, who he called scum this morning.  Mossad, Israel Intelligence will find out first, this blog would go with its assessment, if they find that Iran can still make Nukes, then Israel will strike again, no matter what Trump says or does.

Trump casts DOUBT on Article 5 of NATO - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 7.42pm post that President Trump has cast doubt on the US supporting members of NATO if they are attacked.  POTUS stated that there are many definitions of Article 5.

Lets Get Real:

Trump is pro himself in the first instance and then pro Putin.  ONE has to hope that a NATO member is not invaded by Putin's Russia in the next few years that Trump is President.  EUROPE has to get its ACT together and spend 5% of its GDP on Defence, a war could arrive in a few years, the Russian Bear is on the lose in the Ukraine, it could come for Poland or the Baltic States or both, BEWARE THE BEAR.

Trump to meet President Zelensky st NATO Summit- Trump47

CNN: Reports that President Trump will meet President Zelensky of the Ukraine at the NATO Summit.

Lets Get Real:

Thus we come to the European Crisis that is the Ukraine WAR, while the World has focused on the Israel- Iran WAR, Russia has carried on with its strikes on the Ukraine, the NATO Summit is shorter than expected as POTUS does not like long meetings, also as the article states the official statement at the end will cover up any tension between Europe and the US over the Ukraine, as in Europe is for the Ukraine, while Trump is pro Putin.

Israel - Iran War Update

BBC News: Reports in its 11.57am post that POTUS has told Israel not to react to Iran's breaking of the CEASFIRE.

Lets Get Real:

There is a ceasefire, it can expected that both Iran and Israel will throw a few missiles at each, both want the final missile sent, both have to keep their bases happy, it's a lot easier in a tyranny, less so in a democracy.  NOW will cover the NATO Summit and the Ukraine.

Update 1:

POTUS is visible frustrated at the violation of the ceasefire, he swore on TV, that will be replayed on TV.  CNN and MSNBC also got it in the neck!!

Update 2:

Trump states that Israeli planes will return home without bombing Iran.  Thus keeping the CEASFIRE in place.

Israel- Iran Agree to Ceasfire- Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 11.13pm post that Israel and Iran have agreed to total  Ceasefire.

Lets Get Real:

If this is true, then its a win for Trump47 and for Israel, Tehran gets to keep its theocracy Regime without its nuclear ambitions, the CIA has to keep an eye on Tehran, they might try to rebuild its nuclear facilities over time.  The Middle East Crisis point is over for now, back to the Ukraine.

POTUS thanks Iran for warning over attempting a missile strike on US bases - Trump47

Daily Mail: Reports in its 8.58pm post that POTUS has thanked  Iran for its warning of an attack on Qatar.

Lets Get Real:

This was a show that Iran had tried to answer the US attacks. Thus the reports that Israel wants to end the War in a few days, thus a return to Diplomacy.   THE Tehran Regime should return to Diplomacy and make deal with Israel and the US, give up its nuclear ambitions and facilities, allow the UN's nuclear watchdog access to ALL government buildings.  The US should be wary in case Iran cheats!

Regime Change in Iran ? -Trump47

BBC News Reports in its 9.23am post that POTUS has bought up the idea of Regime Change in Iran.

Lets Get Real:

As the article notes Trump has gone further that others in the Trump Administstion in suggesting Regime Change, he came up with MIGA, Make Iran Great Again by getting rid of the theocracy, Trump himself has gone against his own rhetoric on the Campain Trail, he opposes Forever Wars, such as Afghanistan and Iraq.  One hopes that Trump know has some respect for Bush 43, Obama if not Biden.  One hopes that the Iranian people hear his call for change.

Israel hits Fordow Nuclear Facilitie - Trump47

Guardian:  Reports in its 10.30am post that Israel has hit the Iranian Fordow nuclear facilitie after the Weekend bombing by the US.

Lets Get Real:

The Israeli Air Force is making sure that the US bombing did the job.  It will take time for independent verification of effect of the bombing at Fordow nuclear facilitie, as the World awaits the Tehran retaliation to the US bombing.  IF Tehran was smart it will DO NOTHING, Iran cannot win against the US.

Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz- Trump47

The Hill: Reports " Iran reportedly moves to close Strait of Hormuz after US attacks  "

Lets Get Real:

This would be a massive mistake by the theocracy in Tehran, it would destroy their funding through the selling of oil, and cause damage to the World economy, the Trump Administration would be forced to act as did the Reagan Administration in the late 80s when the US had to convoy tankers through the Gulf.  It is more likely that the Iranian Regime will target one of the US bases in the region, this would be a mistake, this would also force the US to act.  If Tehran was smart it would DO NOTHING, complain yes but nothing, Iran cannot win a war against the US, Iran is not Iraq, there would be no US troops in Iran, as Tehran killed US Soldiers through the region since 1979 revolution.

Former Trump NSA supports Iran bombing -Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 7.40pm post that John Bolton one of Trump45 NSA and frequent critic has supported the bombing of Iran and wants more.

Lets Get Real,

The bombing decision has created strange bedfellows, the extreme right of MAGA and left wing liberals who oppose the bombing and are critical of Trump47, if you have these groups in opposition then you must be doing something right.  JOHN BOLTON a critic of his former boss, shows the division with MAGA, a rare time when Trump has been Presidential in either terms.

BBC News: Reports in its 6.39pm post that Trump  will decide his Iran policy after two weeks.

Lets Get Real:

Trump has bottled it over Iran, his political base is divided, between Isolation and hawkes.  POTUS is waiting to see what happens in the Israeli- Iran War, the excuse for the delay is that there might be talks, in other words Trump wants to claim victory whatever happens, Trump is an appeaser of the first order, God help the US and Israel.

Iran will not surrender- Supreme Leadèr - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 12pm post thar the Supreme Leader of Iran has stated Iran will not surrender.

Lets Get Real:

This has to be a bluff by the so called Supreme Leader, if the US goes in and takes out the Iranian nuclear facilities, and then Regimes foundations, it will all be over for the Regime.  The West needs the people of Iran to overthrow the Regime, its evil and one of the worst Regimes in the history  of the Middle East.

Iranian TV hit by Israel - Trump47

BBC News; Reports in its 5.11pm post that Israel has hit Iranian TV.

Lets Get Real:

The Jerusalem Government is telling people to leave Tehran! This attack on the TV station is an element of regime change, it wants people to rebel against the Govenment, thus hitting Regimes PR.  The Israeli Government is on a winning streak, it should follow through, take OUT the Regime and free the people.

Trump said No to Israel plan to kill Iranian leader- Trump47

Guardian: Reports that President Trump said NO to an Israeli plan to kill the Iranian leader.

Lets Get Real:

It is against US law for an American President to order such a hit, it goes back President Ford, after the murky history of the CIA came out and the plots against Castro in the 1960s.  The Israeli Government is going for regime change, they have taken out military Commanders, 20 in all, and nuclear Scientists, today they took out the head and deputy in charge of Iranian intelligence.   The Tehran Regime is evil, the sooner it ends the better for the World.

Explosions heard in Tehran - Israeli- Iran War

Sky News: Reports in its 4.10pm post that explosions have been heard in Tehran.

Lets Get Real:

The Government in Jerusalem is going for Regime change in Iran, it has been decades in coming, the 1979 Revolution has been a disaster for Iran and the World, a terror theocracy that kills without thought, a Regime that wants to go nuclear.   There is no peaceful way to end the Tehran Regime, Iraq, Libya, and Syria shows what happens to tyrants.

Israel and Iran will make a deal- Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 3.08pm post that President Trump has stated that Iran and Israel will make a deal, he is the only President that could do it.

Lets Get Real:

The President used the examples of the Ukraine and Gaza of his diplomatic skills, does Trump have a dark sense of humour!  Those WARS are still going on, part of his base is very isolation in view and want to appease Russia in the Ukraine, and another part wants to be Reagan Republicans, the Policeman of the World, thus help Israel beat the theocracy in Iran.  Trump straddles both camps, thus his changing mind.  The UK is sending planes to the Middle East to defend UK interests and bases.

US,UK and French bases under threat - Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 8am post that Iran has threatened US bases, due to its Defence of Israel in the present crisis

Lets Get Real:

The fact that Iran has threatened the US, UK and France shows that the Israeli strikes have undermined the the Regime, also the targeted assassinations of military leaders and nuclear Scientists , places extra pressure on the Regime, who is next?, the Regime has lost Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, they were meant to stop Israel taking such action.  The HOURS ahead will be interesting.

Iran confirms cruise missile strikes on Israel- Trump47

 BBC News: Reports in its 8pm post that Iran has confirmed Cruise Missile attacks on Israel.

Lets Get Real:

The drone attacks were a flash in the pan, Sky News reports that a third Cruise Missile attack is coming to Israel, the Israeli Missile Defences are good, they have not asked for help from the Western Allies.  IF the Allies are not in the room, they lack influence with Israel.   

Update 1:

Thus the US has confirmed that it is helping Israel in its Defence.

Update 2: 

78 people killed in Israeli strikes and 320 injured.  The Israeli strikes took out Iranian Commanders and nuclear Scientists.   Thus the hap hazard reaction by Tehran.  Who is running the show in Tehran.   The Regime states that those killed have been replaced, that takes time.

Update 3:

34 people injured in Israel after Iranian attack.  Thus far.

 

' Excellent ' Trump on Israeli attack on Iran - Trump47

Lets Get Real:

POTUS likes to be on the winning side, at this moment it's Israel, also he wants to carry on with talks with Iran.  One hopes that Oval understands that the Trump base is full of Republicans who support Israel and loath Iran since 1979, the year it became a theocracy, There is time for talks and a time for war, you go for maximum win, losing is not an option.

Iran states that Israel has declared WAR- Trump's

Guardian: Reports in its 10.41am post that Iran has stated that Israel has declared WAR.

Lets Get Real:

The Iranian reaction has been feeble or no reaction, there were Reports that Iran had launched a 100 Drones towards Israel, as of now nothing, either Iran's defences are great or Tehran might be still hoping that the US will place pressure on Israel to back off.  The Trump Oval has to be careful, the Trump base is full of Israeli supporters, they expect when push comes to shove, that Trump will support Israel.

Israel hits Iran's nuclear facilities Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 1.21am post that Israel has targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and also Tehran the Capital was hit.

Iran not in nuclear compliance with UN - UN

 BBC News: Reports that a UN nuclear watchdog has found that Iran is not in compliance with previous agreement.

Lets Get Real:

This could be the trigger for Israel to take action, Jerusalem will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons, whatever the Trump Oval might think, you never know with Trump, he might join with Israel on attack on Iran, it would make him popular in the US, no love lost between the US and Iran, on the other hand he is desperate for the Nobel Peace Price, we shall see!!  There are talks between Iran and US on the weekend, Diplomacy might win through, as Churchill said talks are better than war.

 

Israel could arttack Iran within days - Trump47

Sky News: Reports Israel could attack Iran within days without US support.

Lets Get Real:

Something is up, the US is removing US diplomats from the Middle East, as the  article states a UN watchdog has found Iran is not in compliance for the first time in 20 years.  There is a meeting on the weekend between the US and Iran, doubts any action before that, Iran still has time to deal, doubt Israel will take action alone, you never know with Trump47.

US to cut military aid to Ukraine - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 8am post that the Trump Adminstration is to cut military aid to the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

This news will be greeted with joy in Moscow, its Appeasement of the first order, very much like Munich 1938, well shall see if the Defence Secretary is overruled by either Trump47 or Reagan Republicans in Congress.  This will give Democrsts an issue to attack Trump47 and Republicans in Congress.   It will be interesting to see if candidates for 2028 take up the issue.

Marines to stay in LA for 60 Days - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 4.58pm post that the US Defence Secretary has stated before Congress, thar the US military will stay in LA for 60 Days.

Lets Get Real:

This is what Trump and his base want, troops on the ground in Blue States, and the Bluest State is California, home of the Liberal media on the West Coast.  The US in 2024 voted for Trump to expel illegal immigrants from the US, thus this move by Trump.  Except more protest in Blue States, more US military on the ground, the political battle for 2028 has started.

700 Marines to LA - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 8.58pm post that LA can expect the deployment of 700 Marines.

Lets Get Real:

This appeals to the Trump base of support and puts the Democrats behind the 8th ball.   They will need to show that they do not support those that commit crimes, but support peaceful protests, not an easy path to travel.  POTUS will exploit any violence to justify the placing of troops on the streets and keeping them there.  The hours ahead will be an interesting  lecture on Civics in the US.

479 Drones hit the Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.48am post that 479 Drones were launched against the Ukraine by Russia, the biggest of the War.

Lets Get Real:

This could be the reaction to the Ukraine using Drones to attack Russian military bases in Russia.  This blog predicted such action over the last few days.   ONE feels Trump is frustrated and bored by the issue, he could not solve the war in 24 hours of getting elected, Trump is not a details man, he just wants the headlines in the 24 news cycle.   As long as Trump allows the Ukraine to buy military kit, then it has a chance against Putin's Russia.

Unlawful Assembly in Downtown LA - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 5.20am post that it is unlawful to Assembly in Downtown LA.

Trump's call with Putin Update - Trump47

Sky News Reports in its 5.44pm post, that President Trump has had a call with President Putin of Russia, Putin stated that Russia will respond the drone attacks by the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine should expect a heavy drone and Missile attack, quite severe, one doubts that Putin would use a NUKE, that could lead to WW3, he is of course quite mad, thus the War, he could drop one tactical NUKE on Kyiv, to scare the World, one has great reservations that he would do that, that would force NATO to act, winds do not recognise State Borders, thus Poland and Russia would be contaminated by radiation.  An endless War!

Crimea Bridge hit be explosions- Ukraine - Russia War

BBC News: Reports that the Crimea Bridge that connects occupied Ukrainian land to Russia has been hit by explosions.

Lets Get Real:

This will hurt Putin, he personally drove the first lorry over when opened, taken with the drone strikes on his bomber fleet, it is a clear message that the Ukraine will not yield to the tyranny of Putin and his Russian raping thugs.   The Trump Oval has been very quiet these last few hours, Trump likes to lead the news cycle, what will he say, Ukraine has a few cards yet to play.

UK on War Footing - Sir Keir Starmer

BBC News: Reports that Labour Government will spend billions to put the UK on a WAR footing against Russia.  There will be 12 nuclear powered Subs and new mutions factories.

Lets Get Real:

The problem with Labour Government is show me the money, already the Government is backtracking on how much money it will spend on Defence, the Labour left will not be happy, all they care is about welfare, and will the Russians or China be that impressed, also the UK has to give financial aid to the Ukraine, if Trump cannot be trusted with the defence of the West.  

US - Iran Talks latest- Trump47

CNN: Reports that Tehran is disappointed with the US plan, allowing Iran to have nuclear material  but in combination with other powers in the region.

Lets Get Real:

This looks like the Trump Oval is appeasing Tehran, they having nuclear material as the article states will make US Hawkes deeply mad and not trust Trump, does Trump stand up against any rogue regime.  Its the same with Russia, if you're a tyrant or a theocracy then Trump appeases you, Reagan will be turning in his grave, what happened to Reagan's Republicans.   A nuclear armed Iran cannot happen, Tehran cannot be trusted, what will Israel think? The Mossad should get the latest update on Tehran's nuclear facilities and show them to the Israeli PM and the US President, talks yes but not APPEASEMENT.

Silence from Russia after Ukraine Attacks - Ukraine - Russia War

Sky News: Reports that Putin's Kremlin is being very quiet about Ukraine's attack on Russian bases in Russia, as far as Siberia.

Lets Get Real:

Russia has ever reason to be quiet, the attack has been called Russia's Pearl Harbour, let's see the reaction, as stated in previous post, there have been calls for Nukes to be used on the Ukraine, this would be a wild over reaction, but then again the West needs to send a message to Putin, a use of a NUKE would change the War, it could lead WW3.  The West and the Ukraine awaits a reaction from Putin.

Russian reaction to drone strikes - Ukraine - Russia War

Daily Mail: Reports on calls in Russia for Putin to drop the BOMB on the Ukraine after its strikes on the Russian bomber fleet.

Lets Get Real:

This won't happen, famous last words, even Putin knows this would be a wild overacting, he would lose Trump and could lead to WW3.  Thus the Russians have the BOMB, but cannot use it, they have estimated to have lost a million soldiers in the Ukraine WAR, Putin has control of the Media in Russia, how long will the people support this murderous Regime in Moscow, it must fall.

Mass Ukraine drone strikes on Russian bombers - Ukraine - Russia War

BBC News Reports in its 1.35pm post on a massive Ukrainian drone and Missile strike on 40 Russian Bombers.

Lets Get Real:

This will uplift the mood in Kyiv, a massive successful strike on Russia, its a kick in the backside for both Putin and Trump, how will Russia react, more drone strikes one assumes on the innocent people of the Ukraine, it will show that Ukraine has some cards it can play, thus making Trump WRONG that the Ukraine had no cards to play.  One hopes Trump gives more military aid to the Ukraine, and stops being the lapdog of Putin.

Trump CRITICAL of Putin - Ukraine- Russilia WAR - Trump47

Sky News; Reports that President Trump has given Russia 2 weeks to get ceasefire talks started with the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

This Trump fudging the issue, how many times has he given Russia the benefit of the doubt, he is never completely critical of Putin, he seem more than ready to be critical of President Zelensky of the Ukraine, his hatred of Zelensky goes back to his impeachment in the 1st term. POTUS must blame Zelensky for his loss in 2020.   Trump can't see his own failures, the greatest enemy of Trump is Trump.

Fibre Optic Drones - Ukraine-'Russian War - Trump47

BBC News: Reports on a upgrade to Russian Drones, that make them harder to destroy.

Lets Get Real:

One thing about the Russians, they change the rules, when they are losing, the Kyiv Government need the tech of the West to out pace the Russians, Trump should place more sanctions on the Russian shadow fleet that sells Russian oil and helps Putin carry on the War in the Ukraine.   The Germans have agreed to fund Ukrainian long range missiles, the Kremlin is not happy, the US and Europe have to wear down Putin and Russia.

Putin Playing with Fire - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 4.48pm post that US President Donald Trump has stated that President Putin of Russia is playing with fire.

Lets Get Real:

PUTIN has played Trump like a fiddle, POTUS has been a Lap dog for Putin, the Russian leadership has no respect for Trump, even Chamberlain got that fact after Munich 1938.  Trump has the power to bring Russia to its knees, about time Trump placed tougher sanctions on Russia, POTUS has the power, the question is will he use it, is he Chamberlain or  Churchill?

Kremlin calls Trump EMOTIONAL after Russian strikes on Ukraine - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that the Kremlin has called President Trump EMOTIONAL after Trump called President Putin  crazy after strikes on the Ukraine.

Trump not happy with Putin - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 11.12pm post that President Trump is not happy with Russian President Putin over attacks in the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

Has POTUS finally woken up, being nice to the Russians never works and is a vote loser.  How can Trump have Reagan's picture in the Oval Office and not worked that out.  PUTIN is no Gorbachev, Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL, power is the only thing that matters in Putin's Russia.  Even a mass murder, Stalin is being sold as a Russian hero.  The invasion of the Ukraine in 2022 and the refusal to stop the War is a WAR CRIME. POTUS needs to place sanctions on Russia.

Israel preparing to Attack Iran - Trump47

CNN: Reports that Israel is prepared to ATTACK Iranian nuclear sites.

Lets Get Real:

This is someone trying to place pressure on Israel not to attack Iran, it is saying that the Trump Oval knows what Israel is up too, And wants Israel to back off, it has enough problems with Gaza.  The sources who leaked the information are also telling Iran to make a deal with US before Israel attacks.  Everything is political these days in D.C

The New SDI, the Golden Dome - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 9.11pm post that Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile Defence system will be funded from his big beautiful Bill that is going through Congress.

Lets Get Real:

This is an upgrade of Reagan's SDI shield for the Defence of the US homeland, it scared the Soviet Union, it was one of the reasons that Communists threw in the towel and thus ended the COLD WAR, they could no longer match US spending on Defence.   ONE hopes that Putin takes notice, with the Ukraine War going on, Russia cannot match the US, that might be the point of the Dome.  Time will tell.

UK and EU place more sanctions on Russia - Ukraine- Russia War

Sky News: Reports that the UK and EU are placing more sanctions on Russia, all told it will be 100 new UK sanctions.

Lets Get Real:

The Russian economy is a total war economy, as the article states, 40% of its budget goes on the War, the West needs to spend more, it did during the Cold War, thus the West won the Cold War, this lead to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.  PUTIN seems to have forgotten that lesson, WW1 lead to the downfall of Imperial Russia and the Russian Revolution of  1917.    Its time to remind the Russian Bear, that it can be beaten.

Trump stepping away from Ukraine War - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 8.40pm post that President Trump is stepping back from the Ukraine WAR.

Lets Get Real:

In this analysis piece the post suggests that POTUS is stepping back from the Ukraine WAR, he cannot solve It, he promised during the campaign it would take him 24 hours to solve the conflict if re-elected to a 2nd term.  Thus the coalition of the willing must act with others to bring peace to the poor people of the Ukraine, and end the WAR.

The suppose big event of the day was Trump call with Putin to end the War, the result, Putin agreed to talks about a ceasfire, in other words Putin is stalling, and POTUS goes along with it, like a lap dog.  The War will carry on and more Ukrainian men, women and children will die! Trump is the chief appesar of Putin, the coalition of the willing must act on sanctions, even tougher on Russia, AMERICA has abdicated its leadership of the West.

Biden has Aggresive Prostate Cancer - Joe Biden Era

BBC News: Reports that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with Aggresive Prostate Cancer.

Lets Get Real:

One has to ask have they caught it in time, what were his Doctors doing during his Presidency, could it have been caught at an early stage.  The American people have the right to know, was his ill health known and they did not dare to investigate it, as it was an election period.  ONE hopes the former President can get through this, OUR King is also fighting Cancer, it will effect most men in their lives.

Two Hours of Talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that Russia and Ukraine only had two hours of talks, they only agreed on a prisoner swap.

Lets Get Real:

It was a pointless meeting, the sides have agreed POW swaps before, the meeting in Turkey. PUTIN should his contempt for the talks by sending the B team.  The Kremlin wants only a meeting with Trump and not with Zelensky, the President of the Ukraine.  Thus the Felon will meet the wanted WAR CRIMINAL, and Putin will be in charge.

Talks between Ukraine and Russia start in Turkey - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 11.45am post that the talks between Ukraine and Russia have started in Turkey.

Lets Get Real:

A low level meeting between Russia and the Ukraine, Putin did not come, thus Trump did not turn up.  POTUS is really the lap dog of Putin, the Russian leader says jump, and Trump says how heigh.   In the meantime the poor people of the Ukraine suffer.

Trump NAIVE on Iran's nuclear ambitions- Iranian President - Trump47

Sky News:Reports in its 8.58am post that Iran"s President has stated that POTUS in naive about Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Lets Get Real:

You cannot trust a theocracy like Iran, it has seen what happened to Ukraine after it gave up its Nukes at the end of the COLD WAR.  NO amount of pressure will get them to yield their nuclear material, whatever POTUS wants will not happen without the real threat of military action by Israel and the US, that is the STARK TRUTH.

President Trump on Iran - Trump47

Sky News Reports in its 9.16am post that President Trump has set his conditions for Iran, 1. End supporting terrorists? 2.No more Proxy Wars.,3. No Nukes.

Lets Get Real:

None of the above will happen, all Diplomacy has been tried with Iran.  They are a rogue theocracy, will try to stall Trump and prevent Israel taking action.  This blog will trust Mossad to know what is happening in Tehran.  Trump Diplomacy will not work, it has not in the past  by previous Presidents.

Trump could fly to Turkey to meet Putin - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 12.20pm post that President Trump could fly to Turkey tomorrow if President Putin turns up.

Lets Get Real:

Trunp will only go if Putin turns up and agrees to a ceasefire in the Ukraine, thus far no word from Moscow, more likely that Putin will send his Foreign Secretary for endless talks, he will try to stall, and blame the Ukraine.  The coalition of the willing have to decide on harsher sanctions for Russia and place pressure on US to join them.   The other problem is the gift of a 4 hundred million dollar plane to the US from a Gulf State of Qatar, what do they want, Trump does not see the problem, political nightmare for the Republicans, he thinks he can keep it, madness.

Update: Putin not going to Turkey, neither is Trump.  The Russians are sending a junior delegation to Turkey, not even the Russian Foreign Minister, Trump looks weak, he has been played by Putin again.

New Book on the decline of Joe Biden - Trump 47

The Hill: Reports " Book excerpts paint dim picture of aging Biden in last year’s campaign "

Lets Get Real:

The book discloses that the Biden team thought that Biden would have needed a wheelchair, but did not dare have him in one before the election.  Also the close staff to POTUS prevented others in the White House knowing how bad Biden was, thus it can be argued that the White House staff lied to the American people and even worse to themselves.   They had seen to many episodes of TV's West Wing, the Staff had a duty to the American people and to the US Constitution, they should have talked to POTUS about his health condition and had real primaries in 2024, what they did was to short run the system, thus the mess that VP Harris had a short time to get her campaign started, she made her own mistakes but the fault has to start with President Biden.   A sorry tale to end the Presidency.

Biden not recognize George Clooney at fundraiser in 2024 - Trump 47

 CNN: Reports " Biden didn’t recognize George Clooney at 2024 fundraiser, new book says "

Lets Get Real:

The books have started on how President Biden was on the decline during his first term.   How can you not recognize George Clooney, an A Lister if the term mean that much in Hollywood these days.  This adds to the argument that President Biden should not have run in 2024 that he was protected by the Democratic machine and by the liberal media, the media should have been all over this during the primaries, when DNC moved South Carolina to the front of the pack and prevented a proper primary challenge.  The disastrous debate performance was seen by over 51 million Americans, the elites for a few weeks tried to say that the people had not seen what they had seen.   It was the WORSE debate performance in US Presidential history, worse even than when President Ford in 1976 debate said that Eastern Europe was not under Soviet Control.  Let's look at the future, none of the Democrats impressed at the moment, its only 2025, how about George Clooney for 2028, he as made his political bones with his letter, he has the backbone, time for another actor in the Oval. 

Zelensky Agrees to talks with Russia on Thursday - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that President Zelensky has agreed to talks with President Putin of Russia in Turkey, after pressure from Trump.

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine and the coalition of the willing yesterday demanded a 30 day ceasefire, Putin then announced talks for Thursday in Turkey on a ceasefire, will Putin turn up in person after agreeing to a ceasefire.  The Donald is desperate for the Nobel Peace Prize, forget it POTUS, the Nobel Committee would rather give it to Dr Crippen than him, its very left, it gave the prize to Obama for doing nothing, just getting elected in 2008.  Interesting few days ahead.

Ukraine and Allies call for a 30 day ceasefire- Trump47

Sky News: Reports that the Ukraine and the coalition of the willing are calling for a 30 day ceasefire.

Lets Get Real:

The ball is in the Russian Court, they are having their end WW2 anniversary and a so called Ceasefire in the Ukraine, that ends soon.  The Ukraine and Allies have threatened more sanctions on Russia if they refuse the ceasefire, this blog expects a negative reaction from the Kremlin.   Putin sees himself as modern Tsar, he wants Imperial Russia back, not just the USSR, thus his mangaled reading of history.  The Russian Bear has his nose in the basket, and that is called Europe.  IF only the Ukraine had not given up its Nukes! This War might never had happened.

India Confirms Ceasfire with Pakistan - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 1.31pm post that India has confirmed a ceasefire with Pakistan after both sides escalated the War.

Lets Get Real:

As CNN reports the US Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubion was instrumental in bringing this ceasefire to the Indian subcontinent.  This shows the power of Nukes, the US suddenly found that a World policeman was needed.  One hopes Trump and Trump Administration has learned an important lesson.

US calls for India and Pakistan to work together over tensions- Trump47

Guardian:  Reports in its 3.40pm post that Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State has called on Pakistan and India to work together to decrease the tensions between the two.

Lets Get Real:

RUBIO is Secretary of State and interim National Security Advisor, and other job titles.  It seems for now that Trump trusts him to deal with the issue of Pakistan and India.  Rubio should fly to India and Pakistan and tell both sides to decrease the military tensions, its getting to risky, there is always the threat of nuclear war, both sides have Nukes.  EVEN a cricket ground has been hit by a drone, and both sides love  Cricket, enough is enough.

Trade Deal between UK and US - Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 3pm post thar Sir Keir Starmer will give a news conference on the new trade deal between the US and UK at 4pm.

Lets Get Real:

The first trade deal with the US since Trump47 introduced major Tariffs for the World.  Also 2nd one since Brexit, the first was with India.  At least Sir Keir Starmer is getting things done, he might be a firm remainer, but even he has given up that ghost.  On the whole good news for the UK and Brexit.

EU calls for decrease in tensions between India and Pakistan - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 11.23am post that the EU is calling on India and Pakistan to decrease tensions between the two countries.

Lets Get Real: 

Three words, Fog of War, both sides are stating information as FACTS, its background noise, only check with the BBC News or Sky News, as long as the sides are giving doing unverified, they are not using NUKES, the US and the UK should be on the phone or sending their Secretary of States who deal with foreign affairs to do some shuttle Diplomacy, warning both sides to cut it out, D.C and London does not have the bandwidth to deal with more crisis points, Ukraine and Gaza are enough.

Trump APPEASING Putin - Joe Biden - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that former President Joe Biden has called Trump47 a modern day appeaser over the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The former President is a bit late to this game, he should have dropped out of the 2024 Election at an early stage, then VP Harris would have had a chance against Trump in the 2024 election, his ego would not allow it, even now he thinks it would have made no difference.  If Trump forces Ukraine to appease Putin, it will be the FAULT of the Biden Oval.  Trump Haa spent 100 days being critical of Biden, the former President must be angry and hurt, ego comes before the fall.

India STRIKES Pakistan - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 9.32pm post that India has hit 9 terror targets in Pakistan and Kashmir.

Lets Get Real:

The tension has been building for days, the attack was an response to a terrorist attack on Indian controlled Kashmir, over 20 people killed.  The worry is that both countries have Nukes, thus the US and others have attempted to reduce the heat of the Crisis.    One hopes that Pakistan does not react, the world and neither country can afford it, India has shut down water to Pakistan and stopped the mail between the two sides, enough is enough.

US WW2 Veterans in Moscow for end of war anniversary- Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 2.09pm post that US veterans of WW2 will be in Moscow for the anniversary of the end of WW2.

Lets Get Real:

The Kremlin is daring the Ukraine to use Drones against them in Moscow.  Who are these veterans, did the US State Department know they were going, at last Trump didn't go, has he gotten the memo that he was played by Putin, as other US Presidents have been, the Ukraine on this should not take any action in Moscow itself, bad PR.   President Zelensky should keep his forces on ALERT, the Russian Bear is wily and has no morals, never trust Putin.

Moscow Accuses Kyiv of Drone Attack before ceasfire- Trump47

BBC News: Reports that Russia is accusing Ukraine of drone strikes before the Russian announced ceasefire.

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine has made it clear it will not follow the Russian ceasefire as it is PR by Putin's Kremlin.   The front line will carry on with its battles, the Russian Bear cannot be trusted.  President Zelensky has made it clear that no one safe in Russia this week, whatever the Russian ceasfire, time to neuter the Russisn Bear, before it invades another country and causes WW3.

Israel to capture Gaza and remove Hamas - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that the Israeli Government has decided to capture Gaza and take out Hamas.

Lets Get Real:

This could end in one way, that would make Israel feel secure, it was a mistake in 2005 for Israel to leave Gaza.  The security of Israel is all important to the right wing Israeli Government, after October 7th, the Government had no choice, Hamas has to be removed and destroyed, the borders of Israel have to be secured against the threat of Hamas and Hezbollah, as saying goes, what needs to be done, should be gone quickly with minimal loss of life on both sides.

The King won't speak to me - Duke of Sussex - The Reign of King Charles III

BBC News Reports that the Duke of Sussex has stated in a BBC interview that the King won't speak to him due to the security issue.

Lets Get Real:

The Duke of Sussex gave a powerful interview after losing his court case over his security.  The problem is that the Duke LEFT the UK for the US, it was his decision, he left the country not the other way around.   The King is the King fighting cancer, he does not need these kind of headlines before VE Day, the Duke should have done this privately and through the family, not in public for everyone to see, forgiveness is a two street, the Duke has not helped himself or his reputation with this move.

US out as Mediator in Ukraine War - Trump47

Daily Mail: Reports that the US will withdraw as a mediator in the Ukraine War.

Lets Get Real:

This not shocking news, Trump is not a details guy, he likes winning the news cycle.  Diplomacy takes time, Trump is not an expert on Foreign Policy, he knows how to make economic deals, thus the mineral deal with the Ukraine, as long as Trump allows the Ukraine to buy weapons, then the Ukraine has a chance against Russia.

Trump Allows Ukraine to buy Military kit - Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 11.08am post that President Trump has allowed the Ukraine to buy weapons from the US, the first time the post notes.

Lets Get Real:

Thus you can buy weapons from the US if you give them half your mineral deposits, at least Trump has moved on the ISSUE, the Russians are not happy, that is good, anything that is upsetting to the Russian Bear is good, thus not a complete disaster after a 100 days.  The Ukraine and the West can not afford to lose to Russia.

Was Signal chat the end of Waltz - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 4.31pm post that the NSA was a moving target after the Signal leak to a reporter.

Lets Get Real:

Trump likes good news, he loves and hates media, fake news as he calls it, as the above article states, he was not going to sack Waltz when the press wanted his scalp, he has waited past his 100th day and the signing of the mineral deal with the Ukraime, the one foreign policy success of the Administration.   There still the Ukraine War out there and Gaza, also Iran.  Who will be the new NSA?

NSA to leave the White House - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 4.02pm post that Mike Waltz is to leave his post as National Security Advisor.

Lets Get Real:

This is the price of failure in the Trump White House, no success in the Ukraine War, Gaza, no chance of taking over the Panama Canal, the same with Greenland.  Trump wanted a success on his 100th day in OFFICE, and didn't have one.

UPDATE: Waltz has been nominated to be the US Ambassador to the UN.  MORE a sideways move, keeps him in the camp, just needs Senate Approval.  After Signal scandal could be a problem!

UPDATE 2: Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be the NSA also, another Henry Kissinger, could be, never know with Trump.

King Charles on Cancer - The Reign of KING Charles III

 Sky News: Reports "  King says cancer diagnosis is 'daunting' and 'frightening' experience....Reflecting on his own cancer journey, he said it has "certainly given me an even deeper appreciation of the extraordinary work undertaken by... remarkable organisations and individuals". "

Lets Get Real:

The King has been brave about his cancer, in the past it would have been hidden from public view, that the King has been so open about, shows that people need to be aware of it, and not be afraid to go to the Doctor to check out any worry.   Also the various organisations out there to help people with cancer. God Save the King.
