VP Biden the next Secretary of State - Clinton Era

BBC News: Reports " Vice-President Joe Biden is being considered for the secretary of state job if Hillary Clinton becomes president, US media are reporting. "

Lets Get Real:

This is an interesting leak by the HRC Campaign, it is a message to the base that a Clinton Era will follow the policies of President Obama, also the unsaid message is that Kerry is OUT, the Oval Office under Hillary Clinton will run foreign policy with help from Bill Clinton.  Thus a Secretary Biden will attend ALL the funerals etc, be the Secretary of State in name only, as Biden is older than HRC he might like the perks of the job without any of the real stress.   Thus we have the first Clinton Cabinet member on the cards.

NATO warning to Russia - New Cold War 11

Guardian: Reports " In particular, Nato wants to signal to Moscow that it is prepared to defend the embattled Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In May, Britain will send an 800-strong battalion to Estonia, supported by the French and Danes. By next summer around 4,000 troops from Nato countries will face off against 330,000 Russian soldiers stationed on Moscow’s western border. "

Lets Get Real:

The New Cold War 2 started with the invasion of Georgia by Moscow, the actions after that Crimea, East Ukraine, Syria, show that President Putin wants to get the old USSR back or at least a Greater Russia.   The Capitals of the West have to be aware that in the between the November election and January 20th 2017 the US will be in limbo, the Kremlin could decide it would be safer to take action will Obama still in the White House before HRC gets the Oval Office.   The question is WHERE?   The Russians have sent their fleet to launch a major attack on Syria, there could be more action in East Ukraine or Russian subversion in the Baltic States.   The Oval Office must be worried that Moscow will try something in between Obama and HRC, so it should send its fleet down to Syria, just to keep eye on the Russian bear.  The Putin regime started the New Cold War, the West has to finish it, with Putin in JAIL would be a nice end, or throw from power by the people due to the dire economic structure of Russia, the home disaster and the prospects faced by Russians is diverted by building up the the threat of the West, thus Washington D.C, London and Paris have to careful how they play the Russian bear!

HRC and World War 3 - Trump - Election 2016

Telegraph: Reports " Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton's plan for Syria would "lead to World War Three".  "

Lets Get Real:

The Donald might be a racist fool who happens to be a billionaire, but on this subject of placing a no fly zone in Syria he could be right, someone has to be right at some time.   HRC after she is elected will have to be seen as tough, yes because she is a woman, but also because she has been forceful over the no fly zone.    Thus the question does she really mean it or is she bluffing, on this I would not want to call her bluff.   The Russians are of course supporting the Donald, they might have good reasons, HRC is one tough cookie as they say in the United States.

HRC and the Syrian No Fly Zone - HRC Era - Election 2016

Guardian: Reports " Many in national security circles consider the risk of a confrontation with Russia to be severe: ‘I wouldn’t put it past them to shoot down a US aircraft’ "

Lets Get Real:

The toughness of HRC on Syria is one of the reasons that this blog is supporting her over Donald Trump.  Secretary Clinton has been firm on this policy from the start, the Russians have to be taken on, it would be better in the Middle East than having to defend the Baltic States against a Russian threat.   One would not be shocked if Putin tried something on between the November 8th and January 20th.   It is almost to perfect a time not to chance your arm, you would have limbo President, and a new President - Elect trying to form a new Administration in the eye of a crisis between the US and Russia.   The Russians could try to take over some of the Baltic States or place their private army there to cause problems, or increase the Russian presence in Syria as a threat to any US action, these could be interesting weeks.

The US Election - The Reality - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Republican candidate Donald Trump is taking a break from campaigning to open a new hotel bearing his name just blocks from the White House. "

Lets Get Real:

They say in politics follow the money, well the Trump is taking care of business, that shows that he has thrown in the towel, he understand his Hotels that bare his name are more important than a limbo election before HRC gets the White House, at leas that is honest.   Of course the irony that new Hotel and its closeness to the White House is not lost on anyone, as the Trump said he would get the same road as the White House, one way or another!   Less than two weeks to go, this feels like a VERY long race, and not fun either.

Clinton - Trump's problem with his own words - Election 2016

Lets Get Real:

The HRC Campaign have to do something over the next two weeks, they are already getting the transition in place for after November, thus they are taking funny attacks on Trump and his pass mistaken opinions on various subjects.    This race has been long, just about time for it to be finished.  It has gone from interesting, to farce, to ugly, this is the kind of race no one will want to go through again.

The LIMBO before HRC becomes President - Elect - HRC Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " The most dramatic and unpredictable presidential election in decades is suddenly slipping into a strange state of suspended animation....But unless there is an abrupt Trump revival, another October surprise that could once again upend the race or a cataclysmic miss by the majority of pollsters, the Republican nominee seems to be on a glide path to defeat on November 8. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog called the election ages ago, the press can now move on from the election and look at what the first HRC term will look like, the domestic and foreign policy problems that the new President will face in January.   On the domestic front we have ObamaCare falling apart, the OVAL will need the new Congress to reform the Act, then we come to the international field, HRC will have to be tough with Russia and Putin, the US could enforce a new no fly zone in Syria, also Putin might try something between the election and the new Administration taking over in January, thus lets hope NATO is on alert.    It  will not be boring, that is for sure.
