US shoots down Iranian drone - Update

CNN: Reports that a Iranian drone that was threatening the Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier was shot down by the US.

Lets Get Real:

Events like this have caused wars in the past, Gulf of Tolkien incident in 1964, the shooting down by accident of an Iranian passenger jet in the late 1980's, as the US Fleet was protecting tankers from Iranian attack.  The Iranian theocracy is lucky, any other President would have struck Iran, but Trump is a WIMP, he will let the threat go, as there are planned talks in Turkey between Iran and th US.  The MAGA base does not want the US to be the World's Policeman, that is why Trump is a major WIMP.

Ukraine can WIN war with Russia - Trump47

BBC News: Reports President Trump has changed his tune on the Ukraine, he now thinks that Kyiv can win back ALL of its land back.

Lets Get Real:

It seems POTUS has realised that Putin was conning him all along, thus his new idea that NATO planes should shoot down Russian planes that incur on NATO Airspace, the Poles do not need to be asked twice.  The President is very mercurial, he could change his mind by tomorrow, are we on the road to WW3?

UK to confront Russian Planes if they have to - UK Foreign Secretary

Noted: Jimmy Kimmel to return to chat show after suspension.  Liberal Elites lost their so called minds over it.

Noted 2: UK and France recognised a Palestinian State.  The terrorists of October 7th got what they wanted.  Foolhardy by the UK and France.

BBC News: Reports in its 3.29 post that the UK Foreign Secretary has stated that the RAF will confront Russian planes if they have too.

Lets Get Real:

This is the type of language that can lead to WW3, it only takes a mistake by our Pilots, the best in the World verses a Russian pilot who jumps the gun to lead to WW3.  Of course our pilots would never fire in less they were under threat, it has not to be stated by the FCO, that  is clear, but one can see the Putin Russian media making hay over these comments, and a Russian Planes trying its luck in the skies.   There should be a no fly zone over the UKRAINE AND POLAND, if they Russian fighter jets incur on NATO space and do not heed warning they should be shot down.

RAF Fighters to Defend Polish Air Space - Ukraine - Russian War

 BBC News: Reports " UK jets to defend Polish skies after Russian drone incursion "

Lets Get Real:

This will show the Kremlin that the UK defends its obligations to NATO.   The Russian Bear is seeking weakness in the NATO WALL.  It would not shock this blog if the Kremlin tries something with the Baltic States, it wants to see if NATO will defend every inch of the NATO AREA.   President Trump HAS act with some measure to show that the US is still in the game, his lack of action could lead to WW3.  The Presidential ego needs some good advice or its arrogance could lead to WW3.  Otherwise one would have to say that Trump is the biggest APPEASER in history, it would make Neville Chamberlain look strong, that is some doing.  Easter Europe is on alert for war, the UK and the USA are still waiting, this should be reversed if the US and UK placed troops in the Ukraine, be ahead of the game, show that the Kremlin does not have all the tunes,

Ukraine Update - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election- Biden Era

 BBC News: Reports on how the Biden White House is dealing Ukraine invasion of Russia.

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine policy has been a success for POTUS, after the Afghanistan disaster and the on going  Israeli WAR in Gaza, Biden needs a success  before the November election, as it would help VP Harris in her fight with Trump.  The former President would give Putin what he wants,  Thus Ukraine has to win in Russia, defeat is not an option.

The Success of the Invasion of Russia by the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports "  Russia struggles to repel Ukraine's deep Kursk incursion....Russia's military has said it is "continuing to repel" a Ukrainian cross-border incursion into the western Kursk region - a surprise attack now in its fourth day.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can only hope that Putin is hiding under his bed as Stalin did when the Germans invaded in 1941.   The Ukraine Army has to go full throttle in to Russia, the people might want the freedom from the Ukraine, they live under a tyrant of the Putin Regime.  Of course the Russians have the manpower, the clever ones have a done a runner abroad.   There are those in the media that want talks at any cost, this war can only end when the Russians are either thrown out of the Ukraine or the leave because there has been a coup in Russia.  Lets hope the Western powers support this invasion and do not try to curb it, the Russians started this war in 2014 with the invasion of the Crimea, and President Obama  did nothing, Putin has to be stopped NOW, before either a Trump win or VP Harris weak with Putin if she becomes President.  

Biden to send NEW Military Kit to the Ukraine - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.55pm post the following, " Biden announces US and allies to provide Ukraine with air defense system...The US and partners will be providing Ukraine with dozes of new tactical air defense system, Biden announced.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was good speech by POTUS, yes it was the teleprompter, the real test for the press will be press conference, can he get though that with taking questions.   The White House press core feel burned by the Biden Oval they will be out for blood.  I can be postulated that POTUS has won the right to be the Democratic nominee of the Party, even if the Democrats have shown no profile in courage, what they think in private is different than what they say to the press.  This does blog does not want to hear morality lessons from the Democrats and the press again, the Democrats sold that out with the press when they did not cover JFK, and his women.    As for the Presidential speech it was good, showing before Trump, it was Reagan's Republican Party, and defended NATO.  The Ukraine will bet more military kit, this blog will postulated that it will take American troops to finish the WAR in the Ukraine, even President Wilson got that fact in 1917/18.   One hopes the press will go back covering the 2024 election, and go after Trump and his appeasement of Putin of Russia.

Ukraine Fighter Jet shoots missile in to Russia - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Ukrainian warplane fires weapon at target inside Russia for first time..."While damage assessment is still occurring, it is confirmed as a direct hit," a Ukrainian military source tells Sky News. "

Lets Get Real:

The article does not states if it was a Western fighter Jet that has been given to the Ukraine or if it was a Western missile, this latest development might be a RED LINE for Putin, let's say for argument sake that Biden wins in November and a Republican House also wins, the influence of Trump over the Republicans will be on the wane, then the Reagan Republican's can return the Republican Party to its past support for the Ukraine.   Thus more US military kit, drones, fighter jets and tanks.  The question is what will Putin do, would he really attack the WEST, NATO States, trying to se how far he can push a new re-elected Biden, that road to WW3 might have been set already.

Moscow Angry that Western Weapons can be used to attack Russia on the border - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Anger in Moscow after Ukraine allowed to hit Russia with Western weapons...Russia has accused Nato and the US of "provoking a new level of tension" after the US and Germany became the latest allies to let Ukraine's military use Western-supplied weapons to strike targets inside Russia. "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Administration has only modified its strategy, the Kyiv forces can only use their Western Weapons that are close to the border, the new Russian Offensive has been effective, it was a surprise, the Kyiv Forces have to push the Russians back and regain the last lost to the Russians.  The Biden Oval can not afford to lose the Ukraine, how ever much the Russians fume, the next development will be when the Ukraine Air Crew are trained on Western fighter jets the F-16s should five the Kyiv forces the back up they needed.  The day will come when NATO has to send troops in to the Ukraine, that will be the red line for the Russians, then the game will be become very interesting and tension filled. 

Has the New Russian Offensive Stalled in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian WAR - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.45pm post the following, " 

Russian offensive 'appears to have slowed'...

And the latest analysis from US thinktank the Institute for the Study of War suggests that the pace of the offensive "appears to have slowed over the past 24 hours". "

Lets Get Real:

The above could be because the delayed US military kit has finally arrived, the Russians have the men they have endless men, but they do not have the military kit, the Biden Administration has to be quick, if cannot allow the Ukraine to fall to the Russians.  The Russian Bear would not be just happy with the Donbas in the East of the Ukraine, they would go after all of it, what next Poland the Baltic States.  Also this is a Presidential Election year in the US, its Biden verses Trump, Biden might be senile but he is all we got to support US security and that of the West.   This cannot be another Afghanistan! The Debates will be interesting, all Biden has to do is turn up an not fall over, and he will be a shoe in November.  Biden has to attack Trump on national security, Trump is a puppet of Putin.

Russian Gains in Kharkiv Region of the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports " Ukraine in 'difficult situation' as Russian troops claim four more villages..After claiming five villages in the Kharkiv region on Saturday, Moscow now says it has taken control of four more - taking the total to nine. Meanwhile, Russia accused Ukraine of "criminality" as officials say at least eight died in a Ukrainian airstrike in Belgorod.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the cost of the West, in this case Republicans in the House playing the games, the Ukraine will need more military kit, also the question has to be asked, how much is the West willing to lose in the Ukraine, does it want RUSSIA to take over the Ukraine, does it want to follow the path of the 1930s with Hitler taking all of Czechoslovakia after the West appease him with his original demands.  The UK and the US should consider sending in troops or fighter jets to the Ukraine. Sometimes you are left with no choice, that is better sometimes, otherwise we could be on the road to WW3 sooner than people think.

New Military Aid from the US to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.22pm post the following " Zelenskyy thanks Biden after US announces $400m military aid package  "

Lets Get Real:

This is good timing by POTUS, he is in trouble for pausing military aid for ISRAEL over Gaza, at least he is helping a close ally, also he wants to stop the French or Poles sending troops in to the Ukraine to tackle the new Russian offensive.   After Afghanistan and the failure of the Biden Administration and Israel telling POTUS to get lost, he needs to show that he can really run US foreign policy, and be successful.  This is an election YEAR, and November is not that far AWAY, Biden leads in the latest poll by 4%, so he neds to keep a firm control of US national security.  Biden has to hold his ground OVER Gaza, as Reagan did with Israel when they were in Lebanon, also he has to be right, when he was Senator or Vice - President it did not matter what he thought, NOW it matters!!.

Secret Long Range Missiles to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia - Biden Era

CNN: Reports  " US secretly sent long-range missiles to Ukraine after months of resistance.....The US delivered long-range missiles to Ukraine earlier this month that the Biden administration had previously refused to send following a directive from President Joe Biden, the Pentagon said Wednesday.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Administration has to get out of its down way, the Kyiv Government has been begging for these missiles for months, the Biden Oval did not want to to cause problems with Russia and create more tension, when will it learn this is the 1930s all over again, Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL, and no politician with any self respects will never shake his hand again.  Putin's Russia is like Hitler's Germany pre 1939, it is only a matter of time before it strikes a NATO Country on purpose or by accident with intent.   The Baltic States should be a worry, Putin is trying to create the former USSR or Tsarist Russia,  when Finland was a Grand Dutchy.  The Ukraine must be allowed to hit within Russia, the people of Russia have to wake up, only they can overthrow Putin and his EVIL REGIME. 

The Military Kit the US is sending to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.11pm post the following,  " 

Biden immediately approves sending $1bn in military aid to Ukraine...

The package includes air defence capabilities, artillery rounds and armoured vehicles.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine forces in the field having growing short of ammo, the Russians just throw men at the front, its a meat grinder, the Russian Forces are using WW2 rule, if Russian Soldiers retreat they get shot, also Putin is using prisoners to throw at the Ukraine forces.   The West needs to increase the Military it to the Ukraine, Putin cannot be allowed to win, that could lead to WW3.  The Biden Administration will need more aid packages from the US Congress, well before the November election, Biden should be planning for that NOW.   There must be no restrictions on the Ukraine when it comes to fighting this WAR, the Kyiv Government should be allowed to use long range missiles and to hit Russia.   This would shock the Russian people and Putin.  Today is a god day for the Ukraine, there need to be more good days.

US Sending 1 billion military aid to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " War in Ukraine: US to send new aid right away, Biden says...US President Joe Biden has signed a $95bn (£76bn) package of aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.  "

Lets Get Real:

The aid from the US had taken months, the Trump wing of the Republican Party has bought the Russian line, and therefore does not want to spend a penny on the Ukraine and its WAR with Russia.   The Russian Forces have made gradual advances in the East of the Ukraine, taking back villages and towns that it lost to the Ukraine at the start of the WAR.   There is an expectation of a Russian offensive in May of this year, the new US aid is expected to arrive within this week.   The Russians have increased missile attacks on the Cities of the Ukraine, and have hit Odesa hard.  Kyiv Government was asking for the same defence at Israel has with the Western ALLIES, the UK is sending 500 million to the Ukraine, the Ukraine has to be defended against Russian aggression.   This is the 1930s  all over again.

NATO promises more Air Defences for the Ukraine - Russia - Ukraine War - Biden Era

The Israeli - Iran conflict has turned in to a draw, Israel hit Iran with 3 missiles, but the Tehran Regime is playing it down, does not want to escalation, neither does Israel or the Western Allies.   The Two Countries can go back to their shadow boxing, Israeli kills those close to Iran's nuclear project, and Iran can use their terrorist groups in Gaza and Lebanon to hit Israel.    THERE will be a next time!

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine war: Nato pledges more advanced air defences to Kyiv "

Lets Get Real: 

The Kyiv Government was asking for the same cover that the ALLIES gave to ISRAEL, as the Israeli Iron Dome and the Western Allies showed they could shoot down drones, missiles and have no real damage,  thus helping the West with its influence with ISRAEL and its limited and narrow attack on Iran.  The Russians are making small advances, but without Western support the Ukraine will lose in the long term.   The House of Representatives  in the US is expected to pass funding for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan, this has been a hard slog, and the Trump influence has not helped, he is so pro Putin, what would the Gipper have thought.   At some point Western troops will be needed in the Ukraine.

Iran threatens reaction to Syria Strike - Middle East - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Iran vows to avenge deadly Syria strike blamed on Israel...Iran has vowed to respond to what it said was an Israeli strike on Monday that destroyed an Iranian consulate building in Syria's capital, Damascus.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Tehran Regime would be MAD to strike Israel or the US, anything that combine these forces would cause a major threat to the Tehran Regime.   The US might take the chance to remove the threat of a nuclear Iran.  One can expect an increase in low level attacks by rockets and drones, on US bases and Israel.   The Israeli Government should be on ALERT for such an attack, the same goes for the US.  The Biden Oval might see the political benefits of attacking Iran, it would help Biden in November and it would be warning to China, Russia, North Korea, to be very careful in what they do.  One doubts that the assassinations in Syria will lead to a wider regional war, the Axis of Evil is to weak to take on the US at the moment.

Russia believes the Ukraine was behind the Concert Hall terror attack - Putin Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.36pm post the following, " 'Extremely hard to believe' Islamic State would carry out attack, Russia says....Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said it's "extremely hard to believe" Islamic State would have had the capacity to carry out last week's attack on a Moscow concert hall.... It claims Ukraine was behind the attack - which Kyiv strongly denies - and Russia's FSB chief yesterday also accused the UK and US of helping. "

Lets Get Real:

Surly even the Russian people must know that the Kremlin is pushing BS, it seems that Putin wants to cover for HIS failure to listen to the US over their alarm of a future terrorist attack, also for the failure of his security service to ACT.   One gets the feeling that if a REAL COUP happened, then the whole Putin structure would FALL APART.   The Kremlin wants a reason to use tactical nukes in the East of the Ukraine, then declare VICTORY.   The US and the WEST must arm the Ukraine, Putin cannot be allowed to win, where are the Western fighter jets promised and the tanks, the West should consider sending in troops to the Ukraine, that would STOP Putin and Russia.

500 New Sanctions or Russia by the US - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " US targets Russia with more than 500 new sanctions......The US has announced more than 500 new sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. "

Lets Get Real:

It is two years to the day that that the Russians invaded the Ukraine, the land war is frozen, due to the FACT that the West has been slow to arm the Ukraine with the tanks, planes and rockets it needs.   The WHITE HOUSE has been dragged by events, where are the combat planes it stated it would send to the Ukraine, the KYIV Government needs long range missiles, this would counter the Russians when it comes to number.   As the article notes Putin's Russia is the most sanction nation on earth.   Putin has had some success on the ground, as long as the Russian Bear is winning, Putin is secure in the Kremlin.  The people of Russia have to STOP being afraid of Putin and his regime, hundreds or thousands have been arrested by the security forces, the people of Russia need to get off the fence in their hundreds of thousands and bring down this EVIL REGIME.

Israeli Tanks in Southern Gaza - Middle East - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 0.13am post the following, " Over a live video feed from Israel's boundary with the Gaza Strip we've been hearing what sound like the occasional boom of an explosion and roar of a jet from the direction of the territory....Israeli tanks and other armoured vehicles are now reported to be operating close to Khan Younis, the largest city in the southern Gaza Strip  "

Lets Get Real:

The BBC has been one sided with its coverage of the Israel - Gaza War, the blog has watched the BBC NEWS sometimes, and wonders if the BBC get the fact that HAMAS is a terrorist group, they lie and use the people of Gaza as hostages, every time Israel hits a building, the people do not blame Hamas, the BBC should, Israel was attacked on 7th of October, the terrorists killed men, women and children , even a family pet.  Those they did not kill they took hostage, and they are keeping women and children as hostages, they know Biden is WEAK, and will place pressure on Israel to lower the level of attacks on Gaza, Europe just wants to appease Hamas, they do not have to live next door to HAMAS, and they would turn down sending troops as peace keeping forces, that goes for Europe too. Israel has to hit hard, get the operation over quick.  This is War Israel cannot lose.
