Trump wants 200 billion to fight Iran War - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.28pm update the following, " Trump confirms he will ask Congress for $200bn to fund war on Iran  "

Let's Get Real:

The Democrats in Congress will have fun with this, they have to be careful that they are not seen as stabbing their soldiers in the back while the US is at war.  This spending request, could be a major fight up to the Mid Terms in November.  The Trump Oval will have to fight those in the MAGA base who oppose any war.  Interesting time ahead for Congress.

No US troops on the Ground - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.59pm post the following, " US president also says: "I'm not putting troops anywhere - and if I was, I wouldn't tell you. (Press )"

Let's Get Real:

POTUS is right, never tell the press what you are doing, they will only spin it in a negative way, they are Liberal Elite press after all.   The use of ground troops should be selective, as in taking Kharg Island or going after Iran's nuclear stockpile.  If the Elite press had been around in WW2, they all would have been thrown in the Brig by President Roosevelt and PM Churchill.

US is working hard to reopen the Strait of Hormuz- Israeli PM

BBC News: Reports in its 7.28pm post thec following " US is working hard to open Strait of Hormuz, Netanyahu says "

Let's Get Real:

The US and Israel are working hard to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Allies should have made sure it was not closed in the first place, they should have warned that any such action would lead to the fall of the Regime and US ground troops.  The Tehran Regime is still there, and its nuclear stockpile, both must be removed, or the operation is a FAILURE.   POTUS needs to understand that end leads the destruction of Presidential credibility. Trump should recalled what happened to LBJ, Bush 43, Obama, and finally his predecessor Biden and Afghanistan.
