CNN: Reports that the Trump Administration is selling 3,350 long range missiles to Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

This is the type of news that POTUS should be shouting about from the Oval Office, it would shut up CNN, and show that Trump gets the fact that Putin is not his close friend.   Thus far nothing from the Oval about last night's attack on Kyiv by Russian drones and ballistic missiles, killing 21 people, including 2 children.  There are the Mid Terms coming, Trump cannot look weak on foreign policy, Gaza does not help.  Time for POTUS to smell the coffee of reality.

Lets Get Real:

This blog stated that there would be a bitter taste after the Alaska Summit between Presidents Putin and Trump.  The Russians now want a say on what kind of security guarantees that the Ukraine gets, their idea of security is for the Ukraine to surrender with no conidiations, Putin just wants to con Trump along and gain more land in the Donbas and force the West to accept them.   It is really time for Trump to wake up, he looks like lap dog of Putin's than President of the United States, the most powerful man in World.  Trump should really carry an umbrella, he is acting like Neville Chamberlain ( who carried an umbrella, all the time these days.

Doubts on Moscow Summit - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that Moscow is playing down the idea of a Summit between Presidents, Putin and Zelensky.

Lets Get Real:

As the article notes Putin has called the Regime in Kyiv a neo Nazi Regime in the past, so it would look odd if agreed to a meeting in the eyes of the Russian people.  Also one is sure that Zelensky security people might fear for his safety, Putin is know for his killing of his opposition, it is reported that Russia has tried to kill Zelensky in the past. It will show the Trump Oval that Putin is conning him all the time.

Putin cannot be allowed to dictate terms.

European Leaders want details on any security guarantees for the Ukraine - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 2.42pm post that the European Leaders want the details of any security guarantees to the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The European leaders and the UK need to back up President Zelensky of the Ukraine.  IF Kyiv has to give up land to the Russian Bear the Security guarantees have to be rock solid, in legal terms a TREATY passed by the US Congress and the UK Parliament, so if Russia does break the TREATY there will be military action.   This will cost Trump, he might need Democrats to support such a move, the MAGA base of Trump supporters are very isolation in views.

Sky News: Reports in its 3.17 post that European Leaders will be invited to the Oval Office meeting between Zelensky and Trump.

Lets Get Real:

From Reports it seems that Putin wants all the Donbas  in return for peace.   The Ukraine and Europe should say no way, make it clear that Trump is flogging a dead horse with this idea.  The coalition of the willing should say that they will provide ceasefire force under US security guarantee for the Ukraine.   No wonder Putin was going on about Europe at the suppose press conference.

European Leaders and Zelensky to talk to Trump -- Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 8.42am post that European leaders and President Zelensky of the Ukraine are to talk over the phone.

Lets Get Real:

Let's hope that all the European leaders make it clear to POTUS that he does not have legitimate mandate to trade Ukraine land without the consent of the Ukraine.  All the leaders should mention Munich 1938, and how Appeasement lead to WW2 and how appeasing Putin today could lead to WW3 in the future.

Zelensky could be invited to Trump - Putin Summit- Trump47

CNN - Politics: Reports that President Zelensky of Ukraine could be invited to the Summit between Trump and  Putin on US soil.

Lets Get Real:

How can POTUS have talks with Putin about the Ukraine without President Zelensky.  This smells like another Munich 1938, with Trump47 as Neville Chamberlain and Putin as Hitler.   The Secondary Sanctions promised by Trump have not happened, a win for Putin, also if Zelensky is not invited another win for Putin.  The Europeans might have to fund the Ukraine War if the US stops arming the Ukraine, 80 years since the bombing of Japan with Nukes, and the US has learned NOTHING.  WE could be on the road to WW3, and Trump is a fool if does not understand history.

Trump HAILS talks in Moscow with his Special Envoy - Trump47

Guardian: Reports " Trump hails ‘great progress’ after Witkoff meets Putin for talks on Ukraine....US president calls meeting ‘highly productive’ amid unconfirmed reports on halt to long-range strikes "

Lets Get Real:

Good talks in White House talking point, but the secondary sanctions will still go in to place on Friday, as far as we know, the article states that there might be a deal to halt long range strikes, the truth will be in the pudding.   Thus far Putin's Kremlin has played Trump like a fool,  it could be that Trump is praising the talks while still keeping the sanctions on board, thus his secondary sanctions in India.  Of course Trump could fold and allow himself to be played, and not place the extreme secondary sanctions on Russia, the US Senate Bill is on the extreme side, we shall see on Friday.

This blog is a firm supporter of Israel, and support this move to end the War, win the WAR by winning, did the Allies pause after Hitler DIED, no, this WAR can only have one end, the victory for Israel after 7th of October, and the return of the Hostages that are still alive.  Israel must shown that when it attacks it will strikes back hard and wins.  Israel is the sole DEMORCRACY in the Middle East, the reason for the full taking of Gaza might be political, to keep the Israeli PM in power, but both political and Military secure the same result, a secure Israel, not under threat from enemies in the region.  This winning in Gaza might not be a popular view, but it is the right stand to take.
