Sir Keir Starmer is CRITICAL of Trump over Greenland - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 1,50pm post the following, " Starmer says Trump's Greenland threat 'completely wrong' but plays down retaliatory tariffs "

Lets GET Real:

At least Starmer has come off the fence when it comes POTUS, he has tried to keep Trump sweet, and has got nothing for it, he did not threaten tariffs back, that was wise, we have to defend the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland from Trump.  If you live LONG enough to see everything, this blog's defence of Europe, Brexit seems a long time ago, all this is because the Donald did not get the Novel Peace Prize, he got a State Visit in the UK what more does does he want,  a honouree Knighthood that Presidents Eisenhower and  Reagan got, for been a firm friend of the UK.  This far the State Visit by the King to the US should be called off, not a wise move considering Greenland.

VP Harris is running in 2028 OR I will eat my words - 2028 Race

 Fox News: Reports "Kamala Harris hints at possible 2028 run, says some call her 'most qualified candidate ever'....Harris said she was 'just speaking fact' after claiming some called her the 'most qualified candidate ever' to run for president  "

Lets Get Real:

The former VP and the Democratic Nominee is running in 2028, as if that is wise, the simple answer is NO, she is not the most qualified candidate ever, let's see from the modern period, the nuclear age, Truman in 1948, he dropped the bomb on Japan, the only President that has used nuclear weapons, Eisenhower planned D - Day and was a crafty President, he gave the impression that he played golf all the time, his hand was on the tiller so to speak.  Then in 1960 Nixon was the most qualified to be Ike's successor, Vice - President for 8 years and had a great mind, but he lost to the charming JFK.  LBJ has been President for a year before 1964 and was firm supporter of civil right, Senator Barry Goldwater was to right wing, in 1968 Nixon came back and beat LBJ's VP, of the two on cv it was Nixon. Thus Nixon swamped the Democratic Nominee in 1972.   In 1976 Reagan nearly beat President Ford for the nomination but lost by a 100 votes, Ford was beaten by Carter, neither was fit to be President.   In 1980 Reagan beat Carter by 44 States, he had been Governor of California and  and was more suited to being President since 1968, he was a dark horse candidates but lost to Nixon.  In 1984 Reagan beat former VP Mondale by 49 States, 525 Electoral College votes and 59% of the vote.   In 1988, Bush 41 Beat the Democratic Nominee because it was seen as Reagan's third term.  No future President has managed that kind of victory not even Obama.  In 19992 Clinton was the better politician if not the best man for the Presidency.   In 2000 VP Gore lost to Texas Governor Bush 43, either would have been a good fit for the Oval.  The 2004 election saw Bush 43 beat Senator Kerry, he was the better politician and he had been President on 9/11.   The age of Obama came in 2008 when he beat a WAR HERO, ego better than actual President, in 2012 he won re-election even if he had misjudged  Putin.  Thus we come to 2016, the election of Trump 45, he lost in 2020 to better candidate at the time, former VP Biden.   The President made a mistake of running in 2024 and the rest is history.

No Summit Meeting in Jordan - Israeli - Gaza War - Middle East - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

The King of Jordan has to worry about the Arab Street after the bombing of Gaza and the latest bombing of a Hospital.  One expects Egypt to also cancel the Summit, in other words what is the point of the President going to the Middle East.  The President has shown that he supports Israel, the big crunch will should Israel invade Gaza, that might drag in Iran and Syria.  The OVAL has made it clear who they support by sending in two aircraft carriers, the new USS Gerald Ford and the  Eisenhower.  Iran has to be warned off, the World does not want a regional WAR in the Middle East, that would help Iran, Russia and not the West. This could be a long year of WARS.
