Labour STABS Brexit supporters in the BACK - Brexit Update 1 - May Era

BBC News: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn has challenged the next Tory leader to hold another referendum before taking Britain out of the EU, saying Labour will campaign for Remain.  "

Lets Get Real:

The ultra elite Remain within the Labour Party has won the day.   Those Labour MPs representation Northern Seats that voted LEAVE in 2016 will have  a choice, if as expected Boris Johnson becomes a PM and develops a new deal with the EU, will these MPs take the Labour whip when it comes to voting on a new deal.  The Labour elite has stabbed its supporters in the back when it comes to BREXIT, it has gone from accepting the Brexit result to wanting to negate it, a sad day for the Democracy within the Labour Party.   It can be postulated that Corbyn was pushed in to this move by the fact that the Labour Party has a massive anti-Semitism issue, the Labour leadership is trying to divert attention from that to this issue.  One wonders how many MPs have the courage to quiet the Labour Party over both issues. 

Warren on the move in the POLLS and the MONEY FRONT - Election 2020

CNN - Politics: Reports " Elizabeth Warren raised $19.1 million in second quarter, campaign says "

Lets Get Real:

Let's postulate that Biden is one of the two contenders for the Democratic nomination, let's also postulate that the Sanders Campaign goes nowhere, the question is where does the Sanders voters go, they could end up supporting Senator Warren.   The Senator is full policy ideas and is also not taking big money but getting along from small contributors.  The Democratic voters must know that Trump will tear Warren apart, she is so LEFT, she makes Lenin look like a Adam Smith supporter.   Thus in essence the Democratic supporters have only once choice, they must support VP Biden.    Thus if the above is right, we have endless  months of a phony war, of course it depends on the above being RIGHT!!  This blog hates being WRONG!!

Iran in BREACH of the UN Nuclear Deal - Iran Crisis

Guardian: Reports " Iran has enriched uranium past key limit, IAEA confirms..Tehran breaches agreed 3.67% limit and hints it could soon start enriching to 20%  "

Lets Get Real:

The more than Iran breaks the nuclear deal with the UN/Europeans/China and Russia, the more chance that Saudi Arabia and Israel will see it as a threat to their common defence interests, and thus strike Iran before they get the bomb.   As noted in this blog and by many others, Israel struck Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007 when they perceived a nuclear threat from these countries.   The fact that Trump was so WEAK when Iran shot down a US drone might push these countries to form a very odd alliance, using Israeli and Saudi planes and Saudi Arabia as an airport to strike Iran.   In pure political terms, it would be easier if the US did hit Iran, otherwise you could see a regional war, with Saudi Arabia and Israel on the one side and Iran on the other.   This kind of war could close down the persian gulf, thus a threat to Western economies, as was the tanker wars in the 1980s.  The Trump Oval should place more economic pressure on IRAN, make Tehran come to the diplomatic table and to behave in the modern world. 

Trump Surges in Poll for WP - Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Registered voters give Trump all-time high approval rating of 47 per cent in historically lukewarm poll that now shows him more popular than he was on Election Day  "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats by their words at the debate have helped the Trump re-election campaign, the idea of giving medical cover to illegal immigrants is not popular, the fact that the leading candidates for the Democratic nomination want to get rid of private medical cover has gone down faster than the Titanic, and the Democrats do not stop.   After the mistake on debate of supporting such a move Senator Harris had a clean up operation the following day, but the damage was done.   The Washington Post/ABC News poll found that the only Democratic candidate that can beat Trump is former VP, Joe Biden.   The problem is that VP Biden has to get through the Primary contest, and it can be assured that the left wing candidates will go after Biden on race.  The fact that Trump has been so weak on foreign policy should help the Democrats, the Biden Campaign has jumped on the Trump weakness comes to North Korea, in fact Biden looks tougher on North Korea than Trump, that should help Biden with a moderate Democrats and even Republicans in the general election of 2020.

The EGO that is POTUS - Election 2020 - Trump Era

The American colonies, sorry our American cousins are celebrating something or other on 4th of July, something about the Founding Fathers.  This blog of course sees that the Americans did not pay for their Tea, thus the Boston Tea Party.  Throwing caskets of good tea in to the water, not British!!

Guardian: Reports " Trump to preside over Fourth of July celebrations with military show despite criticism..White House aides have reportedly been struggling to draw crowds to event because of last minute arrangements  "

Lets Get Real:

Is there any ending to the Trump EGO, he shuns the old friends of the US and bends over backwards to be nice to President Putin of Russia and the North Korea leader.   On the whole American Presidents do not do a Soviet Style celebration of themselves, they celebrate the meaning of the US and its armed forces, while this the Trump EVENT is about celebrating himself.   One can bet that the footage will be used in 2020 Election.   One's opinion of Lord North ( PM doing the American Revolution ) and Richard Nixon, ( President from 1969 - 1974 ) has gone up.  One's view of Trump never high has gone down the toilet, the most egoistical President in US history, when Americans elected Trump they lost the PLOT, depending if they ever understood the plot, the last great Presidents were Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama for being the first African - American President.   On this 4th of July thank goodness that President Trump is not our problem. 

US Northern Korean Policy, What is it? - Trump Era

Sky News: Reports " North Korea: US 'hell bent' on hostility and 'obsessed with sanctions'..The US accused North Korea of violating UN sanctions by importing more refined petroleum products than it is allowed.  "

Lets Get Real:

One the hand hand POTUS set up a meeting with the North Korean leader by tweet and crossed the border, the first sitting President to make such a visit, but then the US tries to further sanctions on North Korea.   One can assume that the hawks in the Trump White House have not been impressed with the foreign policy actions of their boss, from the lack of action when Iran shot down a US drone, to cowboy diplomacy of Trump when it comes to the US and North Korea.   It can be argued that the VP and US Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump and place VP Pence as ACTING President, while Pence tries to make some sense of the mess that is the present Trump policy when it comes to the enemies of the US.   Of course this will not happen, as long as Trump has the base he will not be removed either by the US Cabinet or the US Congress. 

Iranian Tanker Seized by UK Authorities - Iran Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Royal Marines have boarded an oil tanker on its way to Syria thought to be breaching EU sanctions, the government of Gibraltar has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

This will not go down well with the Tehran Regime, it will be seen by Tehran as the UK siding with the Americans against Iran.   The fact that the ship was carrying oil to a EU sanctioned nation will not matter.   One can expect a lot of shouting from Tehran over the incident.  One assumes the oil will be taken off and the ship allowed to go on its way, of course there might be legal issues, will the owners of the tanker be fined, will the crew face legal action for taking on illegal cargo.   It will be interesting to see what Iran does, it has the US on its back already it does not need the EU to place sanctions on Iran.   Developing story.
