US Global Sanctions Against Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.19pm post, " US Treasury has begun 'unprecedented campaign' of sanctions against Iran 'and its enablers', says Bessent "

Let's Get Real:

Will see if this works and if Iran's enablers care what Trump does or what he says!  Trump has made big threats before and did not carry them out, will he follow through, this blog has its doubts.  The Trump Oval had lost whatever his Presidential Credibility he had over Iran, a war that was meant to last a few months is still on going, Military action has failed with Iran, now its economic, the US is fighting a conventional war, while Tehran is fighting a religious war, the only thing Iranian Regime has to do is survive to win, Trump needs a quick victory, its a matter of politics.

Putin divorced from reality when it comes to the Ukraine War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 1.11pm post the following, " Putin 'misunderstanding' revealed by deadline, say analysts "

Let's Get Real:

It can be said that President Trump is also delusional when it comes to Iran.  It can be postulated that Putin has not been told the truth of the casualties suffered or does not care.  Thus the recent report that Putin is to conscript another three hundred thousand troops from the out limits of Russia as not to cause protests in the town or young people running for the border.  The Russian needs to be told the truth, or he could fall from power when least expected.

UK to give blueprints of long range missiles to the Ukraine - PM Burnham- Update

BBC News: Reports in its 7.07am post the following, " Burnham to meet Zelensky and hand long-range missile blueprints on first foreign trip as UK PM "

Let's Get Real:

This is a good move by PM Burnham, the long range blueprints that the UK will give Ukraine, will make Putin's Kremlin furious, also it shows the new PM is committing to the Ukraine as has previous UK PMs, the UK has stood by the Ukraine while US has and is still wobbling over support for the Ukraine.
