Lets Get Real:

POTUS has lost his mind, he is attacking Allies and more specific NATO Allies.  ONE does hope that the US Congress will ACT, they must oppose such a daft and dangerous idea, they do have the power to curtail Trump. The KÅ•emlin will be overjoyed, they want to see the destruction of NATO.  




Tony Blair appointed to the Board of Peace for Gaza - Update

Sky News: Reports that Tony Blair has been appointed to the Board of Peace for Gaza by President Trump.

Lets Get Real:

This will not go down well on the Arab Street, they still remember the Iraq War and the failure of the peace.  That is not the fault of Blair, more the Bush 43 Administration, and the removal and sacking of the previous Iraqi Administration and the attempt to start a new and Democratic structure, Trump has not done that with Venezuela.   The question, who will remove the weapons from Hamas, the terrorist group still runs Gaza.

Iran's Supreme Ruler admits thousands killed during protest - Update

BBC News: Reports that Iran's Supreme Leader has admitted thousands were killed during the protests and blamed President Trump.

Lets Get Real:

The Oval WIMPED OUT, Trump called on protesters to take over Institutions and help was on the way!  The Cavalry did not come and thousands faced death by machine gun, and thousands more are in JAIL being tortured as you read this blog.   When US President does not follow through on a red line then he loses credibility with the World.  TRUMP never had much credibility to start with, in his 2nd Term.
