BBC News: Reports in its 6.46am post that the US Government has shut down because the White House could not come to agreement with Democrats the on their demands.
Lets Get Real:
This is what Trump wants, he can now fire thousands, even hundred of thousand of civil servants. The Democrats think that the civil servants will be re-hired by Trump. The Oval Office will not budge and the Democrats will have to cave in the end, the Democrats have learned nothing from the 2024 Presidential Election.
Guardian: Reports in its 7.59pm post the following, " Trump demands Hamas to accept US plan to ‘end Gaza conflict’.....“We’re not quite finished,” Trump says. “We have to get Hamas, but I think they’re going to be able to do that. So now it’s time for Hamas to accept the terms of the plan that we’ve put forward today.” "
Lets Get Real:
The question is will the terrorist group Hamas agreed to the deal with giving up power to the Board of Peace headed by POTUS, with Tony Blair on board. It really depends how much Israel has hurt them and if they still have a structure. The agreement by first glance works for ISRAEL, they have agreed to a Trump idea, if Hamas say no the President has given them full support to take out Hamas. Also Israel has made it clear it will never allow Palestinian State, whatever Europe wants, and this view they are supported by Trump 47. If Hamas had a brain cell, it would agree to the plan and try to change the plan in the tent than throwing water on to the tent. The White House and the media await news from Gaza.
Sky News: Reports in its 8.19am post that the US Envoy to the Ukraine has stated that the Kyiv should be able to use long range missiles on Russia, the final decision is down to POTUS.
Lets Get Real:
POTUS thus far has failed to place the toughest sanctions on Russia, he has been a lapdog to Putin, he has been tough of late, but Trump is very mercurial, depends on the last person to speak to him, that leaves an impression. I will not hold my breath for POTUS to say YES to the above move, at least Biden was consistent with his views on Putin, even if was slow to give Ukraine what it needed.
CNN: Reports on the book tour done by former VP Harris.
Lets Get Real:
Either Harris is burning down Rome, sorry the Democratc Party because she has given up politics or she is running in 2028. The former VP has been honest that it was reckless for Biden to run in 2024, that any success she might have had was seen as negative by Biden's West Wing, that Biden called out her perceived disloyalty before her debate with Trump, that her campaign let her down sometimes, so yes Harris is trying to blame everyone else for her defeat to Trump. Thus main problem this blogger has found is that she never moved beyond her base, no move to the centre, and she was to loyal to President Biden. If Harris had been more open in her campaign as she is in her book, she might have won.
BBC News: reports on a 12 hour attack on Kyiv with 600 Drones.
Lets Get Real:
This is an outrageous attack on Kyiv, people stuck in shelters and people killed. The Oval should DO SOMETHING, Putin is wrecking the Ukraine, the cost of rebuilding will be billions, and the psychological impact can be counted in years. The EU must increase military aid to Kyiv, they must be able to counter the Russian Bear, and it's WAR CRIMES, the US Eagle must fly high and with vengeance.
Sky News: Reports that Tony Blair, the former UK PM, could lead Gaza Government after the Israeli offensive ends.
Lets Get Real:
By some Blair is considered a WAR CRIMINAL because of the Iraq War, not by this blog, Blair did the right thing in cooperation with Bush 43. The Baghdad regime was a threat to the region, with or without WMD. This choice would be an excellent choice, it would give the Gaza a World renowned Statesman to lead them for a temporary period. Depends on who Trump47 wants and trusts.
BBC News: Reports Russian has had a CALM reaction to President Trump's opinion of the War in the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
The Kremlin is astute, it knows that Trump is very mercurial and can change his mind within a day. DOES the Oval actually do anything? More sanctions on Russia, more arms for the Kyiv government. Putin can wait Trump out, he has before with other US Presidents, time will tell.
BBC News: Reports President Trump has changed his tune on the Ukraine, he now thinks that Kyiv can win back ALL of its land back.
Lets Get Real:
It seems POTUS has realised that Putin was conning him all along, thus his new idea that NATO planes should shoot down Russian planes that incur on NATO Airspace, the Poles do not need to be asked twice. The President is very mercurial, he could change his mind by tomorrow, are we on the road to WW3?
The Hill: Reports " Democrats express frustrations with Harris for picking fights in upcoming book "
Lets Get Real:
There are those that think that former VP Harris will not run in 2028, they are wrong, she argues that President Biden was not as helpful as he could have been, phoning her before the debate with Trump, to scold her from his point of view for not being 100% loyal, just before her debate with Trump. The former VP also argues that the Biden West Wing though that if she had a good day that Biden did not, she argues that the West Wing should should have seen seen her success as his success, as he did want her for VP. All that is from extracts from book, this blog gets his copy tomorrow, always support your local bookstore. A rare honest book from a politician is refreshing and shows that Ms Harris is running in 2028, she can argue that she was loyal but was hindered by the Biden West Wing and the President, thus she can call them out in 2028. Other politicians will have to be honest about the Biden Years.
Noted: Jimmy Kimmel to return to chat show after suspension. Liberal Elites lost their so called minds over it.
Noted 2: UK and France recognised a Palestinian State. The terrorists of October 7th got what they wanted. Foolhardy by the UK and France.
BBC News: Reports in its 3.29 post that the UK Foreign Secretary has stated that the RAF will confront Russian planes if they have too.
Lets Get Real:
This is the type of language that can lead to WW3, it only takes a mistake by our Pilots, the best in the World verses a Russian pilot who jumps the gun to lead to WW3. Of course our pilots would never fire in less they were under threat, it has not to be stated by the FCO, that is clear, but one can see the Putin Russian media making hay over these comments, and a Russian Planes trying its luck in the skies. There should be a no fly zone over the UKRAINE AND POLAND, if they Russian fighter jets incur on NATO space and do not heed warning they should be shot down.
Guardian Reports that NATO German fighters were launched to counter a Russian plane over the Baltic Sea.
Lets Get Real:
One of these days something will go wrong, either a Russian plane will be shot down or a NATO plane will be a victim. Trump47 has to do something, he is leading the World in to WW3 by mistake, it does not matter how many WARS he has solved, his Appeasement of Putin could end bally, he is no Kennedy or Reagan, great Presidents who knew how to be tough and how and when to talk to the Kremlin.
BBC News: Reports that Russia has violated Estonian Air Space. Estonia is a NATO member.
Lets Get Real.
The Kremlin is being very aggresive, it wants to see if NATO has any weak spots, it is pushing the envelope as far as it will go. It is waiting for NATO not to act, the Baltic States are next, NATO must do a No Fly Zone around the Ukraine and the Baltic States. NATO JETS must be on ALERT, and ready to shoot down Russian Fighter Jets.
Sky News Reports in its 3.24pm post that President Trump has stated in a press conference with Sir Keir Starmer that President Putin has let him over the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
So POTUS feels slighted by Putin over the Ukraine, what about the poor people of the Ukraine, they are droned and bombed daily by Russia. The Oval has done NOTHING, ZERO to help Kyiv, how about sending in US troops, the 101st Air born, to show this has to STOP, that the Ukraine WAR will no longer be run by Moscow. This blog is not holding its breath. POTUS returns to the US today.
BBC News: Reports on remarks by former President Obama on the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Lets Get Real:
President Obama is great at rhetoric, and has charisma to spare, but it was a mistake to say such remarks with President Trump on a State Visit to the UK, if nothing else it will annoy Trump, who has a very thin skin to insults from Democrats, and from Obama specifically. Lets recall that the American people had a choice of a third Obama term in 2016 with Hillary Clinton, and they elected Trump45, Obama left OFFICE with a 58% approval raring in a Gallup poll, well behind Reagan on 63% and Clinton on 66%. Also Reagan saw his VP became President, Bush41, no two term President following has had that success. BIDEN was thrown out by his own Party.
Guardian: Reports that Air Force One has landed in the UK, carrying President Trump on his 2nd State Visit to the UK.
Lets Get Real:
Thus the lefties are out, typical University nonsense out of them, one thinks that the extreme right are bad, but the left makes one's skin crawl. POTUS is the guest of the King, the student nonsense is rubbish, the leader of the Liberal Democrats will snub a State Dinner in honour of Trump, this shows why the Liberal Democrats should never have power. On this Sir Keir is right, better to be in the tent than out side. GOD SAVE THE KING.
CNN: Reports how Ronald Reagan was tough on the USSR, how this appalled the left in UK on his State Visit and how weak Trump47 via Putin on his State Visit to the UK.
Lets Get Real:
Ronald Reagan was a great President, he was tough on the USSR because he saw it as an EVIL EMPIRE that had to be removed and thrown on ash heap of history, within a year of Reagan leaving office, the Berlin Wall came down, and in 1991 the USSR dissolved itself. TRUMP is helping Putin, and this could lead to WW3 due to the WAR in the Ukraine. Evil has to be thwarted, and Trump is not up to the job, a modern day Neville Chamberlain in the Oval Office.
BBC News: Reports " UK jets to defend Polish skies after Russian drone incursion "
Lets Get Real:
This will show the Kremlin that the UK defends its obligations to NATO. The Russian Bear is seeking weakness in the NATO WALL. It would not shock this blog if the Kremlin tries something with the Baltic States, it wants to see if NATO will defend every inch of the NATO AREA. President Trump HAS act with some measure to show that the US is still in the game, his lack of action could lead to WW3. The Presidential ego needs some good advice or its arrogance could lead to WW3. Otherwise one would have to say that Trump is the biggest APPEASER in history, it would make Neville Chamberlain look strong, that is some doing. Easter Europe is on alert for war, the UK and the USA are still waiting, this should be reversed if the US and UK placed troops in the Ukraine, be ahead of the game, show that the Kremlin does not have all the tunes,
BBC News: Reports that a Russian Drone made an incursion in to Romania Airspace, Romania is part of NATO.
Lets Get Real:
The Kremlin is seeking any NATO weakness, the Ukraine is just the first test for Putin, he wants the USSR back, or even the Russian Empire of Tsarist Russia. In His potted history of Russia the Communists stabbed Russia in the back in WW1 with the 2nd revolution in 1917, but end of the USSR in 1991 was the greatest tragedy of the 20th Century, yes Putin is that wrong and crazy.
NATO has to be on guard, it must act against any incursion by Putin and Russia, the Russisn bear is on the MARCH, as was Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Sky News: Reports that the UK is to join NATO's Eastern Defence of Poland.
Lets Get Real:
NATO had to do something after the Russian Drones entered Polish airspace and NATO planes had to shoot them down. The Oval Office is already playing them down the Russian incursion, Trump is acting like a Russian Lap dog or Russian asset. What will it take to shake Trump out of his delusional state, his Cabinet is full of YES MEN, thus the 25th Amendment is out, we are on the road WW3!
BBC News: Repots in its 4.26pm post that the 2nd State Visit of President Trump will still go on as planned next week.
Lets Get Real:
The departure of Lord Mandelson will not change plans. The media in the UK is all over the story, this blog sees no need to add to it, just be careful who your friends are. Mandelson has been in and out of power more times than this blog has had a very healthy meal, he always comes back!! This time he might have cancelled himself for good.
Guardian: Reports in the 4.21pm post, " 'Here we go!,' Trump says in response to Russia's incursion into Polish airspace "
Lets Get Real:
What does POTUS mean, will he finally act on Putin or will he remain a lap dog to Putin, this would make the US weak, and NATO would be undermined. POTUS is so mercurial, that last person speaking to him leaves the impression. Thus lets hope that Trump looks at the picture of President Reagan in the Oval Office and asks what would that great President would do, he would act, Russia cannot get away with flying their drones over Poland, it is a test for Trump and America. We shall see the outcome over the next few hours and days.
BBC News: Reports " Prince Harry meets King Charles for first time in more than a year "
Lets Get Real:
The Duke of Sussex has been a silly boy with his frank biography, in that book the King came out well, the Prince of Wales, or as the Duke of Sussex called him, his arch nemesis got most of the negative flak, the Prince of Wales made the mistake of being born first, that is something that the Duke has never gotten over, the fact that Prince William will be out next King. Thus the name of the biography " SPARE ". The Royal Family has a history with this, the Duke of Windsor vs King George VI, King Charles vs the Duke of York, that is a lot of history. Thus the War between the brothers should not be that much NEWS, well we do have a Monarchy, thus this kind of petty arguments get a lot of Press. The King with his ill health does not need this, the brothers should make up, the Duchess of Sussex is the problem, does she have to come with the Duke when he visit's his father and family.
CNN: Reports "Kamala Harris says it was reckless to let Biden make reelection decision on his own "
Lets Get Real:
The VP is looking for someone to blame, she has such a short period to get her campaign ready and she also complains that the White House did not see her as part of the team, she suggests that her success would have been a success for the President. One can not think that Bush 41, the most loyal Vice - Presidents in history making such remarks. It could be that former VP Harris is thinking about 2028, she would be able to say that she did not get a fair crack of the whip due to the late drop out of Biden after the debate. At the end of the day its down to the President should he run again, Nancy Reagan did not want Ronald Reagan to run for 2nd term, but Gipper wated it and it was successful with the exception of Iran - Contra, the Cold War came to end in Iceland, almost all nuclear weapons were nearly banned, Reagan was more of a dove than people give him credit for. Within a year of Reagan leaving Office, the Berlin Wall came down and then the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, under Reagan's chosen successor, Bush 41.
Sky News: Reports in its 9.35am post, that the Polish PM has stated, Poland is closer to WAR since WW2.
The Poles are taking this seriously, thus invoking Article 4, thus NATO discussion. The Russians are saying that it has nothing to do with them. The Russians LIE a lot. Lets see if the Russians try this again, either Poland again or the Baltic States. ARE we on the road to WW3?
BBC News: Reports in its 8.17am post, on the remarks by the Polish PM, that the incursion was a large scale provocation by Russia.
Lets Get Real:
Is this the road to WW3?, its always Poland that is the trigger, the Poles are part of NATO, this time NATO is not considering it an attack, the Kremlin is being quiet, thus far nothing from the US. One only hopes that violation of Polish air space opens Trump eyes to his friend Putin. We shall see through the day!
BBC News: Reports in its 7.08pm post that President Trump is not happy about the Israeli attack on Doha ,Qatar and its attempt to kill Hamas leaders.
Lets Get Real:
The Oval wants peace in Gaza and will try any method, the Jerusalem Government wants to kill and remove Hamas from Gaza. The Israeli Government has gone outside the rules of the game, so did Hamas on October 7th, it can be argued that Israel is following a JUST WAR principle, Terror matched by terror, just keep the OVAL OFFICE informed.
CNN: Reports that Lt. Colonel Oliver North ( Marine Retired ) has married his former Iran - Contra Secretary Fawn Hall.
Lets Get Real:
Thus happly end to Iran - Contra, the couple were widowers, thus gives us all hope of finding love later on in life. As President Reagan stated Ollie North is an American hero, he kept the Contra Freedom fighters going in Nicaragua by selling arms to Iran by and diverting profits to the freedom fighters. When the news broke, Ms Hall destroyed documents in the shredder to cover the operation. The right thing to do at the time, whatever the Democrats said at the time. The operation was a costly mistake for President Reagan, it took time to recover from, in the end Bush 41 won in 1988, the American people forgave the Gipper, thus 1st Vice President to succeed his boss in over a hundred years, with the exception of assassination or resignation.
BBC News: Reports in its 5.59pm post that the French Parliament has OUSTED President Macron's PM.
Lets Get Real:
The problem is like Bush 41 and Margaret Thatcher, politicians who were see by the Voters as more interested in foreign affairs than the costs of every day life, and the French like to protest on the streets. This remind's one of the 1930's when governments did not last long and Hitler was on the move, now we have Putin in the Ukraine, can France match the rhetoric of Marcon as part of the coalition of willing, Putin must be rubbing his hands with glee. The Ukraine will be worried.
Sky News: Reports that President Trump is ready for the second round of sanctions against Russia after it bombed the main Government building in Kyiv.
We shall see if Trump acts, so far hot air out of the Oval Office, how many more people have to be killed before the US does something. POTUS has appeased Putin through out his 2nd term, the Kremlin must laugh every time that Trump makes a threat against Russia. The WORLD awaits with beated breath for the next statement from Trump, NOT.
The Hill: Reports " Trump blames ‘wokey’ Defense Department for US losing wars in agency rebrand "
Lets Get Real:
On this issue this blog will give Trump 47 some benefit of the doubt, if his history is a bit Putin in content, in other words WRONG. The US won in the First Gulf War, it removed Iraq from Kuwait, in the 2nd Gulf War the US won the War but lost the peace in Iraq, the failure in Afghanistan was down to President Biden and his obsession with getting out, on the other hand, the US had been in Afghanistan for over 20 years and the Kabul Government fell over the weekend, the Saigon Government survived for two and half years before falling in 1975, and that was the fault of the Democrats in the US, who would not fund a rescue package. Thus the far in the 2nd Trump term, the US has not gone to war, just the be the lap dog to Putin.
BBC News: Reports " Putin rejects Western security in Ukraine, warning troops would be target "
Lets Get Real:
The Russians are still being stubborn that there can be no NATO troops in the Ukraine should there be a ceasefire. This is time for the US President to be firm with Putin and the Kremlin, they do not have a VETO on what troops the West might send in to the Ukraine, they are the security guarantees that Kyiv will need to agree to a CEASEFIRE or PEACE DEAL with Russia. Let's get real, Putin will try this again in the future, he cannot be trusted, his word is no good, and Kyiv will never agree to a deal and should not agree to a deal without a NATO 5 clause that would bring the West to the defence of Ukraine. The UK let down Poland in 1939 and after WW2 finished allowed Stalin to get his murderous hands on Poland and Easter Europe. NEVER AGAIN!
Sky News: Reports " Ukraine war latest: Trump says 'you'll see things happen' if he is unhappy with Putin decision .... Donald Trump issues a warning to Vladimir Putin, and says he expects to talk to him over the coming days. Earlier, Putin claimed there was "light at the end of the tunnel" for the conflict in Ukraine. "
Lets Get Real:
There have been rumours of late about the health of POTUS, the liberal media was not that concerned about President Biden and only noticed in his debate with President Trump. One would suggest that Trump have a full medical to see if all is all right, NO US President would have appeased Putin the way Trump has, he seems his ego cannot take the fact that he was played by Putin, this has happened to Bush 43, Obama, and Trump in his first term. The US must bring the Russian economy to its knees, make the Russians pay for the WAR, over a million dead and no mass demonstrations in the street, even the people of Imperial Russia managed that in 1917 and bought down the Tsar. What has happened to the backbone of the Russian people, has decades of Tyranny under Soviet Regime and Putin made them cower in their homes.
BBC News: Reports " Putin has rejected calls for a truce and his troops have intensified attacks on Ukrainian cities. More than Russian 500 drones and 24 cruise missiles were launched on Wednesday night alone. "
Lets Get Real:
The new Axis of Evil that meet in China on the anniversary of the end of the WAR is Asia in 1945, it shows that the West is faced with Russia, China and North Korea as the counter to Western Democracy. Trump has to get his head out of his backside and do something about Russia, they will not give up in till the US puts more weapons and men if needed on the front line in the Ukraine. The Russians see Trump as a lap dog to Putin, the only way out for Putin is to win in the Ukraine, anything else and he faces a coup in Russia. Thus Russians will only come to the peace table on their terms, a Ukraine that in many respects sees it back within the Russian fold, thus to prevent WW3, Europe must give security guarantees to Ukraine, and in some way the US must face pressure to do the same.
Sky News: Reports in its 8.05pm post that President Trunp is very disappointed in President Putin over the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
Thus more empty words from Trump, in his former business trade Trump would have never accepted such treatment from a suppose friend. What is so special about Putin? What does the Kremlin have on him, there is no other explanation for Trump's appeasement of Putin. It is time for the US Congress to investigate the hold that Putin has on Trump.
The US Mid Terms come in 2026, lets hope the Democrats take the House, then we can have real investigation of the Trump Oval.
Guardian: The Tehran Government has accused the UK, France, Germany of giving the Trump Oval a VETO over the return of sanctions.
Lets Get Real:
The last thing that POTUS wants is Iran to return as an issue on the news, the Trump Oval nightmare is that Israel bomb Iran again because the Israeli intelligence, the Mossed finds out that Iran still has nuclear material that can make a nuclear bomb. It could force Trump to face reality over his minds reality. Lets recall that the 2026 mid terms are coming up, also the 2028 Presidential Election, Trump wants to hand the Oval to his chosen successor, as Reagan did for Bush 41 in 1988.
BBC News: Reports that President Putin has stated that he has an understanding with President Trump over the ending of the Ukraine war.
Lets Get Real:
What understanding, neither Putin or POTUS has what it is, does that mean that Ukraine has to surrender and become part of Russia again. This is not what the Ukraine wants, neither the Baltic States or NATO. TODAY was another Trump deadline for Russia to start peace talks with the Ukraine, so far nothing from the Trump Oval, Appeasement on a grand scale.
BBC News: Reports in its 8.36pm post that Russia has hit Southern and Central Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:

Putin is playing Trump, he is not the friend of Trump's, he is his main enemy, if only Trump could see it, Ukraine knows the reality of Putin.
CNN Update: 3 dead, 37 injured.
Sky News: Reports that President Trump has revoked the secret service protection for former VP Harris.

Everything is political folks, 2028 Presidential race is about to heat up leading to 2026 Mid Terms. The former VP has not ruled herself out for 2028, if she runs she will face VP Vance, he will hold the Trump torch. Thus far this blog is not impressed with the Democratic bench, VP Harris might be a safe bet for the Nomination.
BBC News Reports that President Zelensky of the Ukraine has rejected an EU idea for a buffer zone in the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
The idea was rejected due to the development of drones, that mean in fact there is defacto a buffer zone already and heavy weapons do not go to the front line because the threat of Drones. The EU has to accept this is a modern war with new weapons. At least EU thinking about a ceasfire or a peace deal, Russia is still thinking in warlike terms and winning at any cost.
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.
Sky News: Reports in its 12.52pm post that 17 people have been killed in a massive Russian strike on Kyiv.
Lets Get Real:
The West must do more, Ukraine needs more Drones, China has factories that just produce Drones, the US and the UK must go on war alert, Russia can only be beaten by Western technology and it must go in to advance production. POTUS has his head in the clouds and wants that Nobel Prize at any cost, even if that cost equals the Ukraine.
CNN Update: 21 people killed and 60+ injured in Russian strike on Kyiv.
BBC News: Reports in its 12.25pm post that the Russian Ambassador to the UK has been summoned to the FCO after the strike on Russia.
Lets Get Real:
The Russians kill 15 men, women, children and the FCO gives them a dressing down over tea and coffee. The Russian Bear understand its claws being slapped, Putin is a killer whatever Trump thinks, PUTIN only wants the whole of the Ukraine, that is why he is WAR CRIMINAL. The West must wake up!
Sky News Reports that the Russians are producing Drones that can't be jammed.
Lets Get Real:
The West has to help the Kyiv out, as the article notes the Chinese have big factories thst are producing the latest Drones, while Ukraine is almost like Blue Peter in its development, they need the West to produce better Drones that can match the Russians and its Chinese and Iranian Allies. The cost is less than losing the War.
Guardian: Reports in its 6.05pm post that President Trump has stated he would like Presidents Putin and Zelensky to meet first before he joins them.
Lets Get Real:
Trump has stated his worthless threat to see what happens in the next two weeks. The Kremlin will play Trump for a fool, play along and win on the ground in the Ukraine. PUTIN can out last Trump and his successor, Putin is a tyrant and killer, he wants the whole of the Ukraine. CHINA wants Taiwan, also a tyranny, and Trump considers them friends.
Guardian: Reports in its 12.40pm post that Russia has stated that there will be no Summit between Presidents Zelensky and Putin in till an agenda is agreed.
Lets Get Real;
This is Moscow slowing the process down, as to allow the Russian Army to make gains on the ground, and trying to avoid the blame from the Trump Oval, Trump is a Russian lap dog, his weakness is clear to the World, Putin is laughing his backside off with the weakness of Trump.
BBC News: Reports that Israel has started the invasion of Gaza City.
Lets Get Real:
It is about time that Israel finish this WAR in Gaza, its nearly three years since the WAR started on the 7th of Octobet 2023, let's recall that the terrorist group started the WAR, why should Israel take up any ceasefire agreed by Hamas. Enough is Enough, Israel has to win this WAR, let it be done quickly and with the minimum loss of life on both sides.
Guardian: Reports that President Trump has stated the US may give air support in any security guarantees to the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
This might annoy MAGA base of the Republican base and Moscow, the coalition of the willing. the UK and France and others will have boots on the ground, to defend the Ukraine against Russia, what will be the rules if Russia attacks, will the security forces be able to fight back. So many questions to answer in a short time.
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.
Guardian: Reports in its 10.38pm post that the Summit meeting between President Trump and European leaders has come to end.
Lets Get Real:
According to President Trump on his own website the President phoned President Putin of Russia to arrange a summit between Presidents Putin and Zelensky and later the three will meet. Still no specifics on the security guarantees for the Ukraine and what Kyiv has to give up for the deal to work. Thus a great political success for Trump, the after glow might leave a bitter taste, it did after 1938 Minich Agreement.
Sky News: Reports in its 6.28pm post that POTUS has stated that there would be security guarantees for the Ukraine with the support of the US.
Lets Get Real:
This will not make Russia happy, the Russians have said NO to a NATO like force, what will he think if the US is present in the Ukraine. Thus far no major blow ups, we shall see how the rest of the day turns out, be prepared for major rows, Trump is very mercurial, anything can set him off.
BBC News: Reports in its 6.58pm post that President Trump has negated his threat of secondary sanctions against Russia in his meeting with President Zelensky of the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
This shows that POTUS has taken Russian talking points to his heart, he has no understanding of history or leadership of the free deal. One can only hope that the Europeans have backs of steel and can say NO to Trump. The security of Europe and Ukraine is at stake, Russia has stated that there can not be NATO Troops in Ukraine as security force after a peace deal. Putin cannot be allowed to dictate terms.
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.
BBC News: Reports in its 5.43am post that President Trump has stated that the Ukraine can end the War by not joining NATO and giving up the Crimea.
Thus Trump has shown himself to be a total appeaser and no friend of Ukraine and Europe. The Oval is spouting Russian TALKING POINTS, JFK and Reagan will be spinning in their graves! The Europeans must show that they can lead, Trump has abdicated Leadership of the of the FREE West, SHAME.
BBC News: Reports in its 3.06pm post that President Putin has agreed to a NATO like security agreement for the Ukraine should there be a peace deal.

This blog would be very surprised if Putin agreed to that, the Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is not an expert in diplomacy, he might have heard what he wanted, by the way WHY should Putin have a VETO on security guarantees to the Ukraine, does he have a VETO on the Countries that can supply a security force, this blog wants to hear from Moscow on this development.
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.

Thus President Zelensky is going to meet POTUS on Monday in D.C, the European Allies want to make sure that Zelensky knows that the UK will stand by Ukraine with others if there is a good ceasefire. The problem is you never know what Trump might turn up, the appeaser or someone ready to place harsh secondary sanctions on Russia.
BBC News: Reports in its 12.11am post that President Trump has stated in his press conference that there is no deal in till a deal.
Lets Get Real:
What a odd press conference, no questions taken by either President, the press won't be happy, no CEASFIRE was announced, a chance of a further meeting in Russia. We wait to hear what the leaders agreed to, what will Europe and Zelensky agree too, and what will they VETO, if they have that option.
BBC News: Reports in its 7.07am post that President Trump has stated that President Putim won't mess around with him.
Lets Get Real:
Trump is hoping for a deal, any deal, he will and push the Ukraine and Europe to accept any deal. It has been noted by commentators and this blog, that it could be another Munich 1938, that lead to Czechoslovakia losing land to Germany and a few months later being invaded by Nazi Germany.

BBC News: Reports that President Trunp has stated that there is a 25% chance of a failure in his talks with Putin in Alaska.
Lets Get Real:
Trump is very mercurial, you never know what he is going to say from one hour to the next, thus you have a 75% chance of a bad deal in Alaska, that could damage the Ukraine and Europe. Ukraine and Europe must be ready to say NO to Trump and Putin if the Summit produces a BAD DEAL, that means the Ukraine giving up its Sovereign land to Russia. The world awaits the results from Alaska.
