Tanker Decline in Strait of Hormuz - Update

Guardian: Reports the following in its 11.02am post, " Traffic through strait of Hormuz plummets after US-Iran strikes "

Let's Get Real:

This can't go on, it will effect the Western economy sooner or later.  Tehran has shown its word cannot be trusted, it lies as it talks, the are playing a crafty game of waiting out Trump and the US Navy.   The Mid Terms are coming and the Democrats should win the House of Representatives, then we have two years of Trump investigations and Impeachment, followed by the 2028 Presidential cycle.

US could take Iranian nuclear stockpile any time - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.09am post the following, " Trump warns US doesn't need a deal with Iran to get enriched uranium "

Let's Get Real:

Another delusional statement by POTUS, that the US could take Iran's nuclear stockpile anytime, as there is no need for a deal, as the stockpile is entombed after the US bombing.  This could be a way for Trump to end the War before the November Mid Terms, the TACO President is delusional and erratic. One can't wait for the 2028 cycle to start, even then Trump will want to be in the news.

More Threats from Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.46am post the following, " Revolutionary Guard threatens US with 'war beyond the region' "

Let's Get Real:

Thus more threats from Iran, whatever peace Terms the Tehran Regime has sent to the US are delusional and made to confuse Trump.  The President is erratic and wants to end the War, he wants to open the Strait of Hormuz, he needs gas prices to go down.  The Democrats are breathing down his neck, the Gulf Allies are afraid if the war restarts they will become targets.  The TACO President must act or be seen as a chicken.  The 2028 Presidential cycle will start soon, his VP needs the war over and for it to be successful. 

Iran will TALK with US - Trump-

Guardian: Reports in its 2.57pm post the following, " Trump says Iranian leaders will 'soon be in negotiations' with US "

Let's Get Real:

One presumes that POTUS knows for a fact that the Tehran delegation will turn up in Pakistan, any humiliation climb down should not have the face of the Trump Oval behind it, that is the job of the VP, he wants the nomination in 2028 and Trump's support.  It will depend how poor deal goes down in Washington DC, will the Republicans in the Congress support the deal, even if the US gives concessions to Iran over its nuclear stockpile and the Strait.  The Trump Oval will sell ANY deal as a victory, it choose this war, did not build support for a War or sell it to the American people.

Update: Sky News reports that Pakistan is still waiting for confirmation from Tehran that they are coming to Pakistan for talks.

Update 2: Sky News reports via the New York Times that the US VP's trip to Pakistan is on hold.  This is Tehran being rude to the US and Pakistan.

Will Trump WIMP out of Iran ? -- Update

Guardian: Reports the following,  " Trump says Iran war is ‘very complete, pretty much’ as economic toll rises "

Let's Get Real:

Trump remembers the 1970's and the Carter Presidency, and effect the oil crisis and hostage crisis had on Jimmy Carter re - election bid against Ronald Reagan, he lost.   Thus Trump does not want a LONG WAR in Iran, he wants his VP to have clear run for Presidency in 2028, Trump does not want lot of body bags returning to the US.    Thus Trump will not probably go for a long war, just enough destruction to warn Iran off going nuclear.  Trump keeps eyes on the Markets, as we all should today.

President of Venezuela charged with pushing drugs in to the US- Rubio

Guardian: Reports in its 12.27pm post that the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio has stated that President of Venezuela will be charged with pushing drugs in to the US.

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats are still fighting the Iraq War, that is a political mistake, it seems like a clean victory for POTUS, why are the Democrats so flaky when they are out of power, if Democrats had been power during the Cold War, the USSR would be still be around.  Thank God for Reagan and Bush 41.   The Democrats have to be careful they are not seen as flaky, more international law than winning for the US.  The political cycle is coming, 2026 Mid Terms and the big one in 2028, the Presidential Election.

Bad Job Numbers for VP Harris - 2024 Candidates/24 General Election - Biden Era

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.24pm post the following, " Trump says latest job figures are 'bad news' for Harris...He calls the report "bad news", blaming Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for driving the US economy "off of a cliff". "

Lets Get Real:

This is the the biggest beef of the American voter with the perception that US economy is BAD, in fact the Americans are having the best economy they have ever had, low unemployment and low inflation, but the cost of daily life that it has hard of them.   In any other political cycle, Harris should win in a landslide, and she might still.   The Blue Swing  States look good for Harris, she just must make sure that her ground game is good and she gets her voters out, in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, everyone says the Democratic ground work is great , the Trump has franchised  this out.  Only a few days to go and it will be over for a year before Candidates starting go  to Iowa and New Hampshire to be the Republican nominee to face then President Harris in 2028.  It never ends!
