Murder by another Name - Putin Regime - Update

Sky News: Reports that Russian Opposition leader Alexei Navalny,  was killed by the venom of an Ecuador poison frog, UK and Allies have found.

Let's Get Real:

Thus Russians must be tired of pushing people through open windows, when one hears a critic of Putin has fallen from a window, one assumes the worse, or when an ex Russian spy who defected to the UK, they used WMD to attempt to kill him.   Then there was a critical of Putin who was killed by nuclear material in his tea, the police traced it back to Russia.   Thus we come to the case of Mr Navalny, who the Russians tried to kill before, but he still went back to Russia and certain arrest and death.   How much does Russia have to suffer if you include the Ukraine War?  When will the Madness end?.

Prigozhin Speaks Out after attempted Coup - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog:  Reports in its 4.27pm post the following, " Lukashenko offered ways for Wagner to keep working - Prigozhin....Speaking about the conditions of the deal that was reportedly done in order to bring the Wagner rebellion to a halt over the weekend, Prigozhin claims the group was "categorically against the decision to close Wagner on 1 July 2023 and to incorporate it into the defence ministry"...Prigozhin also says that Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko played a part in the deal, stating that Lukashenko "extended his hand and offered to find ways for Wagner to continue its work legally" - without giving further details.  "

Lets Get Real:

This theatre production by Putin has gone on long enough, the 24/7 news networks have given it more time that the 100 hours First Gulf War.  They are missing the point, the fake coup attempt was a game played by Putin to see who he could count on should the worse happen, Prigozhin his self made lacky, did as he was told and backed off once the Kremlin gave the word.  The Kremlin knows that it will need to reform the Army from the top, where was the Russian Army when the coup was happening, they did nothing to stop it, so there will be Stalin type purges of the Army from the top down.  Those people that supported the Coup will find themselves in the Court process, Siberia or DEAD by falling from a window, poisoned by their clothes or door handles. The real war is the Ukraine, what next by Putin, blowing up the nuclear plant after the Ukrainian Dam was destroyed.   The Kremlin needs a way out, WMD might be the answer.  People keeps your eyes on the ball do not be distracted by the Russian Play. 

Did the Ukraine try to kill or Putin or False Flag Operation by Russia ? - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Kremlin accuses Ukraine of trying to assassinate Putin.....Russia says it downed two drones that targeted the Kremlin in Moscow last night and accused Ukraine of attempting to kill President Vladimir Putin.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is reported from Kyiv that it was not the Ukraine drones that attempted to hit the Kremlin, this could be a false flag operation by the Russians they might want to create a case in Russia for the Kremlin to use WMD in the Ukraine.  The Ukraine offensive is expected soon, Putin might be at the end of his tether when it comes to the Ukraine and might want to drop a small nuclear bomb on Kyiv, the Kremlin has remind the WORLD, that it was President Truman who dropped the two nuclear bombs on Japan in 1945.  Of course a tactical nuclear bomb could be used to STOP the Ukraine offensive, Putin has nothing to LOSE, and everything to win, end the Ukraine War, make the Russian held areas in the Ukraine a hell hole of radiation, the Russians have moved their troops back, even Putin does not want to wipe out his own Army.  The World awaits. 

Biden to send long range missiles to Ukraine ( Again ) - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

BBC News: Reports " US to send longer-range rockets in latest aid package..Its GPS-guided rockets are much more accurate than the equivalent Russian systems. It's also much quicker to reload and, as the name suggests, the launch vehicles can move quickly from one location to another.  "

Lets Get Real:

Yesterday POTUS stated he would not send long range missiles, NOW he does, one does wish the White House Staff would prevent POTUS from talking, he makes himself look a idiot and on the decline.  This is a good move by the Biden Oval, the fight in the DONBAS is HARD, and the Russians are gaining ground and cities, the West must prevent the Russian absorbing South East Ukraine in to Russia.  The Russians have the manpower while the West has the technology to prevent the Russians in their tracks.  The West has to make Russia pay for this invasion, that means and it is harsh to say, Russian body bags being sent back to Russia, the Kyiv Government has hundreds of dead Russian Soldiers that the Kremlin wont take back, the mothers of Russia need to see the truth of the WAR, and get on to the street and followed by the rest of the Russian population before Putin does something stupid with WMD. 

Is Putin about to declare WAR on the Ukraine ? - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 2.08pm post, " Putin could formally declare war on Ukraine on 9 May - report.....Mr Putin could officially declare war on Ukraine as soon as 9 May - known as "Victory Day" in Russia - according to CNN.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can see why President Putin would do this, the Russian Army has suffered heavy loses in the Ukraine, not something you can hide forever, thus the PR aim will be to make the Russian people support the WAR, even if its against their better judgement, also it will be interesting to see who he declares WAR ON, will it only be the Ukraine, could Putin want to expand his WAR AIMS, and go for Moldova and be a even greater THREAT to NATO Countries, could Putin warn NATO that any more military support for Ukraine could lead Putin to declare WAR on individual NATO Countries OR on NATO itself.  The declaration of WAR will be very risky for Putin, if he fails, his literal head could be on the chopping block, let's recall what happened to Tsar Nicholas 11 and his family in Siberia in 1918.  Thus will Putin really take that risk, and how far is he willing to push it, would he ever use WMD in Ukraine, low level nuclear weapons, its endless the ways Putin could cause death and destruction in Europe.  NATO better be ready for all things, Putin is after all EX KGB. 

Peace Talks Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.02pm post the following, " Kremlin accuses Ukraine of changing stance on peace talk issues....The Kremlin has accused Ukraine of changing its stance on issues that have already been agreed at peace talks.  "

Lets Get Real:

One does have to take a pinch of salt everything the Russians say, they LIE as they breathe.  The KYIV Government has made it clear if the Russians kill those still holding out in Mariupol the talks will come to an end.  The Russians have bombed ALL OVER the Ukraine in reaction to the Ukraine Army sinking their flagship with two missiles.  The Russian TV are all over the place, they say their ship went down to a fire that lit the ammunition on the ship, but also the action means that World WAR 3 has already started. Even the most simple Russia must smell a rat, that the Kremlin is using PR to justify that WAR that is illegal and is not going well.  The coming days should see heavy bombing of South West Ukraine and other areas that have not been bombed, the Russians are making a point, they have a might army and enough rockets to damage most of the Ukraine.   The West needs to supply the Kyiv Government with more military kit, the West cannot afford to allow Putin to win in the Ukraine. 

Biden calls Putin's War in the Ukraine Genocide - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

The White House: Remarks by POTUS on the Russian - Ukraine War, " Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank — none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide a half a world away.  "  POTUS later stated the following, " Yes, I called it genocide.  It has become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being — being able to be Ukrainian.....And the amount — the evidence is mounting.  It’s different than it was last week.  The — more evidence is coming out of the — literally, the horrible things that the Russians have done in Ukraine.  And we’re going to only learn more and more about the devastation....And we’ll let the lawyers decide internationally whether or not it qualifies, but it sure seems that way to me.  "

Lets Get Real:

At the Biden White House did not try to walk the above comments back, thus the next question is, what is POTUS going to do to STOP Genocide in the Ukraine.  There is a report that the Russians have used chemical weapons in MARIUPOL, a place they have destroyed, this has not been confirmed by the US or the UK.  The Kyiv Government now faces a MAJOR WAR in the East, there will be a lot of tanks and fighters jets in the action, the West has to supply KYIV with what they need, Putin cannot be allowed to have his celebration day on May 9th.  It has been reported that the Kremlin has ordered that the CENTER of Mariupol be cleaned up for the day of victory.   The US and the UK must do everything they can to prevent this, if Putin wins in the Ukraine then the Baltic States, and Poland come under THREAT from Putin.  The West needs the battle for the Ukraine to remain in the Ukraine, if Putin wins he knows he can try it again with Finland WHO might become a member of NATO after the WAR in the Ukraine. 

Possible Chemical Weapon used in the Mariupol - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " UK 'working urgently' to verify reports of possible chemical attack in Mariupol..Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says: "Any use of such weapons would be a callous escalation in this conflict and we will hold Putin and his regime to account."  "

Lets Get Real:

Would assume that any use of WMD in the Ukraine would have gone high up the pole of command, thus one can assume that Putin had given it the green light, if the Russians have used chemical weapons in the Ukraine.  Thus one hopes and expects that the CIA, NSA on the US side and in the UK, MI6 and GCHQ WILL know by NOW if such weapons have been used and will tell their political masters.  Also one hopes that  SIS and the CIA can get ground material from the area, to check out the claims, it will be interesting to see how this story develops.  One really hopes Putin has not gone this far just to announce victory on May 9th. 

Have the Russians used CHEMICAL WEAPONS in Mariupol ? - Russia - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog Reports the following in its 12.44pm post, " Ukraine says it's checking unverified information that Russia has used chemical weapons in its siege of Mariupol. The Azov battalion - a Ukrainian military unit with links to the far right - said its fighters had suffered minor injuries, including shortness of breath. The BBC cannot verify this allegation independently.  "

Lets Get Real:

One doubts that Russians would use WMD in Mariupol, they have already destroyed the place, the Russians might use WMD if they were trying to smoke out the final resistance fighters and the people stuck in the bunkers.  The Russians have Mariupol surrounded, why take the risk of using WMD and forcing the UK and the US to react, that is the problem in the FOG OF WAR, one would need confirmation from the US and the UK before the West would react.  The NATO Countries must build up the weapons that it sends to the Ukraine.  The Kyiv Government needs more tanks and planes, they will have a big fight on their hands in the East.  The Russians will need a few weeks to rebuilds their army units after the pasting they took in the North.  This time should be used wisely by the West. 

Talks carry on between Russia - Ukraine - No Ceasefire - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.34pm post the following, " Russia will not pause military action in Ukraine for peace talks, Russian foreign minister says  "

Lets Get Real:

The above shows that the Russians are using the PEACE TALKS in Turkey as PR, they think that the conventional land areas in the East for better use of their tanks and thus the ability to declare victory on May 9th, the day Russian celebrates the end of WW2.  This means NATO and the US and UK must really rearm the Ukraine Army, they need more weapons, weapons and weapons as the Ukraine Foreign Minister stated.  NSA and the CIA should be on FULL ALERT for a massive attack, the Russians or more to the POINT PUTIN cannot afford another loss.  One might even see the Russians going for WMD such as chemical or biological weapons, this is a fight to the death between the Ukraine and Russia. 

Russian response to PEACE TALKS with Ukraine - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.11pm post the following, " the Kremlin says there’s no sign of a breakthrough in the continuing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.....Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has been telling reporters that Russia had not noticed "anything really promising," adding there was a long period of work ahead....the governor of Ukraine's Chernihiv region says there is no let-up in attacks by Russia, despite its pledge to reduce military activity there....The Ukrainian governor in Donetsk also says there has been Russian shelling along all the cities and towns on the front line that separates the two sides. Shelling is also reported in the Luhansk region.  "

Lets Get Real:

The above shows that the Russians can never be trusted, they want a WAR of attrition , they want to wear down the Kyiv Forces, as stated this is going to be like World War 1, 1914 - 18, and let's recall the Germans were the first to use gas, so Putin might decide to use chemical weapons on Mariupol or Chernihiv, Putin has nothing to lose, the idea that he will be having a hand shake with the US President or the UK PM is for fantasy land, that is not on the cards in the future, it would look bad to Western voters, that their leaders are with a WAR CRIMINAL in a meeting, thus Putin has made sure he is the number one rogue nation, invading a DEMOCRATIC STATE and his LIES to the West.  The West has to find a way to get tanks and fighter jets to the Kyiv Government, also they have to keep up sanctions, the Putin inner circle might be all right but the Russian people on the street have seen their roubles hit rock bottom, and the economy is in the toilet. 

How the KYIV Government sees the Russian Ground operation - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.05pm post the following, " Kyiv sees no signs on the ground that Russia has given up a plan to surround the Ukrainian capital, according to Ukrainian defence ministry spokesperson Oleksander Motuzyanyk.  "

Lets Get Real:

What the Russians say and do are two different things, the have LIED, LIED since the start of the CRISIS, why the French President wants to keep talking to Putin is anybody's guess, of course he has an election coming up and wants to be seen as international stateman, nice try but he looks foolish, he is talking to a WAR CRIMINAL, who has lied to his face and make him look foolish when he made him sit at a very long table away from President Putin.   The Russians are past masters at fake news, they want the WEST to think that they are changing their bad strategy, it has been postulated that the RUSSIANS are refreshing their troops for a bigger battle over KYIV and to the WEST, it was suggested yesterday that the Russians are trying to create a West and East Ukraine, as in Korea.  The KYIV Government an Army have to stop that with the support of the West.

Russians firing on nuclear research facility in Kharkiv' - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports 8.25pm post the following, " Russian forces 'firing at nuclear research facility in Kharkiv'...."It is currently impossible to estimate the extent of damage due to hostilities that do not stop in the area of the nuclear installation," a tweet from the Ukrainian parliament said.  "

Lets Get Real:

Are the Russians trying to let lose massive radiation on the whole of the Ukraine, they keep shooting at nuclear installations, one of these days they will get unlucky and release mass radiation across Ukraine and the whole of Western Europe, radiation can also reach the Russian Federation, is Putin really in control of his forces or are his forces doing his bidding, with no idea on the damage they can cause to Ukraine and the World, one has to ask are they trying for another Chernobyl ( 1986 ), that helped bring down the USSR.  The Biden Oval has to warn Russia, that when it comes to nuclear issues and breaches of rules that could lead to another meltdown the US will take action, and it does not matter if the Kremlin likes or not.  The Ukraine is under threat from chemical attack and the Russians causing a nuclear breach by their shooting and missile launches, and this is happening in the 21st Century.

Russian - Ukraine Peace Talks Latest - Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.54pm post the following, " Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are continuing - but there has been little progress on the main political issues, according to a member of the Russian negotiating team.....However, he said they were coming closer to an understanding on secondary issues.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians thought they would have a quick victory over the KYIV Government, that has not happened, in fact Russian Forces gains are being reversed by the Army of the Ukraine.  The Northern part of the invasion has not gone to plan, the Russians are having problems taking small cities, it has destroyed Mariupol in the South, and are have abducted the citizens according to the UN.   The Russians have prevented food getting to Mariupol from the KYIV Government but are sending food and water supplies for the people, thus seeking base good PR.  The KYIV Government should limits its concessions to the Russians, what they might demand and get are two different things.  The Ukraine Army has the wind to its back, while the Russians are losing Generals all over the place.  The War will be one of attrition, who ever stands at the end is the winner. 

NATO to supply Ukraine with defensive equipment against WMD - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " Ukraine war: NATO to boost Kyiv's chemical and nuclear defences amid risk a Russian attack could drag alliance into the conflict....The 30-nation military alliance agrees to equip Ukrainians with the means to defend themselves against potential Russian cyber, biological, chemical and nuclear warfare, with the NATO chief saying there's a risk such an attack "will have a direct effect on people living in NATO countries". "

Lets Get Real:

If the Russians use WMD against Ukraine that should be a very RED LINE, Biden must inform the Kremlin in public or private that such a use would bring in the US and NATO.  The use of chemical weapons in Europe would be a disaster for the Ukraine and the West, as Putin is on the back foot he might think he has nothing to lose, let's recall that in 1905 the Russian Fleet was taken down by Imperial Japan, this lead to the 1905 Revolution that lead to the formation of the Imperial Duma in Russia, Nicholas 11 was forced to give on this issue due to the failure of the Imperial Fleet.   Thus a massive failure of the Ukraine WAR could get the people back on the streets, of course that is if they get to know about it, as Putin has blocked free and western MEDIA in Russia.  Putin has a LOST to LOSE, his alleged Yacht being the first target.  After that how much of the outside forces can Putin control, shops closed, places with no sugar, the Russian economy in the toilet, could this be Putin's 1905 OR 1917 MOMENT. 

North Korean launch ICBM Test - The Other Crisis - New Cold War 2

The White House: Statement by the White House Press Secretary on the North Korean Launch, " The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)  for its test of a long-range ballistic missile. On March 10^th, the United States Government publicly released information that the DPRK’s tests on February 26 and March 4, 2022 EST involved an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) system. We noted that there would likely be further tests in the future. The President and his national security team are assessing the situation in close coordination with our allies and partners.  This launch is a brazen violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions and needlessly raises tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region. This action demonstrates that the DPRK continues to prioritize its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs over the well-being of its people.  We urge all countries to hold the DPRK accountable for such violations and call on the DPRK to come to the table for serious negotiations.  The door has not closed on diplomacy, but Pyongyang must immediately cease its destabilizing actions. The United States will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the American homeland and Republic of Korea and Japanese allies.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Oval will do nothing, it cant because North Korea has a lot of nukes and has shown it does not care a bit what the US or the UN says.  The latest launches are to remind the Biden Oval that it has other other crisis points, it seems that the US has appeased Iran and the Obama nuclear deal should be back on, problem being that the Russians have thrown a great big wrench to the talks, they wont come around as long as Russia is in the Ukraine or PUTIN is still in power in the Kremlin.  The South Korean people have voted in a candidate for President who will be tougher on NORTH KOREA, of course the South can say this as there are US troops in South Korea and the US will protect the South should the North Invade,  what if Pyongyang invades while the Russians are in the Ukraine, this would mean that US troops would be in combat against North Korea and their ally China.  Also it can be speculated what if China goes for Taiwan at the same time, does anyone think that the Biden Oval could cope with a multi CRISIS event, this blog has great doubts.  Let's hope Biden and the West get lucky and its only the Russians in the Ukraine. 

Biden on the NATO Summit - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

The White House: Statement by President Biden on the Nato Summit Today, " Today’s establishment of four new battle groups in Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary is a strong signal that we will collectively defend and protect every inch of NATO territory. Between now and the NATO summit in June, we will develop plans for additional forces and capabilities to strengthen NATO’s defenses. We will adopt an updated Strategic Concept to ensure NATO is ready to meet any challenge in the new and more dangerous security environment.  "

Lets Get Real:

This confirms what the NATO Secretary General said yesterday, NATO will form four new battle groups on the EAST FLANK of NATO.  This should send a CLEAR signal to Russia, do not even think of hitting a NATO Country, also that NATO is united if Putin uses WMD.  The commentary sees the Russian - Ukraine War going on, back to the trenches of 1914, with Russia being Germany, and the Ukraine representing the Allies of the UK and France, the US and UK will supply defensive weapons to the Ukraine, but no fighter jets that the Poles have spare, they do not want to cross any of Putin red lines.  It can be speculated that President Putin is not a patient man, he knows every day he loses troops or ships ( latest report has the Ukrainian hitting a Russian Cargo Ship ) the his regime becomes under threat, thus one is sorry to say that one can see Russian using WMD, chemical or biological weapons, the the Biden will have to show nerve to back Putin off, otherwise he will think he can use anything he wants, nuclear even.   Long Days and Nights for this brutal WAR.

Russians and WMD - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.10pm post the following, " There is “a real threat” of Russia using chemical weapons against Ukraine, according to US President Joe Biden, who answered questions as he departed for Europe to attend the Nato summit.  "

Lets Get Real:

This issue must be on the mind of POTUS, as he mentioned this previously, the Russians would be MAD to use WMD in Ukraine, the images would be horrific and would force Western politicians to take drastic action, such as a NO FLY ZONE, that could lead to air combat between NATO and Russia, also peace keeping troops could be sent in, that could lead to actual hand to hand combat with the Russians.  One would like to assume that someone in the KREMLIN can speak TRUTH to power, that the use of WMD in Central Europe would make the Russians the number one enemy of the West and would remain so as long as Putin is in power.  The Biden Oval should be very clear with Russia, IF and WHEN WMD is used in Ukraine then ALL BETS ARE OFF, its their choice.  Also if you allow Putin to use chemical weapons in the Ukraine, what is stop him using battlefield nuclear weapons, tactical nuclear weapons, up to and including strategic nuclear weapons.  The West has to find its backbone and be very clear of the COSTS to Russia and its people.

NATO Upgrade - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.46pm post the following, " Nato leaders will agree to the deployment of four new Nato battlegroups in eastern Europe - in Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania - Jens Stoltenberg said.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is NATO showing its teeth to the Russians, its a warning, that any direct threat to NATO States close to Russia would invoke Article, an attack on one is an attack on all, and there are 30 States in NATO.  The Russians are digging in for the long haul, they are trying without much success to surround KYIV, and have done so many other CITIES in the Ukraine.  The poor City of Mariupol has become the symbol of the WAR, it has been destroyed and there are a few hundred thousand people still there, the Russians have demand that it surrenders, the KYIV Government has said NO.  The Russians have bombed a children's and maternity Hospital, also a theatre that was holding around 1,300 people underground, we still don't know how many lived, as the Russians are preventing any help getting there, also they are preventing supplies to get to the people.   The Russians are using barbaric weapons in this WAR, they are WAR CRIMINIALS, and the top WAR CRIMINAL is President Putin of Russia.

POTUS warns of chemical/biological use by Russia - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.01pm Ukraine Update the following, " US President Joe Biden has warned that Russian leader Vladimir Putin may be preparing to use chemical and biological weapons in Ukraine  "

Lets Get Real:

This should be a RED LINE for POTUS, he saw  how his former boss, President Obama failed to follow through with his red line in Syria, people after that were not afraid of Obama, once a President says something is a red line he has to follow through, problem with Obama he never go over his own ego, one hopes Biden gets something right on foreign policy after forty years.  The thought that Putin might be minded to use chemical or biological weapons in the HEART o Europe should worry the US and the Western Europe.  One can image the images, they would shock the WORLD, and if Biden did nothing would harm his reputation and the Democrats chances in the November Mid Terms.  The Biden Oval has to be very clear with the Kremlin, any use of chemical or biological weapons gets the US in to Ukraine, starting with a no fly zone.  The origins of WW3, shall see.
