China ANGRY, France peeved - A Good Day - Aukus Defence Pact

BBC News: Reports " The pact, announced on Wednesday, will see the US and UK provide Australia with the technology to build nuclear-powered submarines for the first time.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is an interesting move by the UK, US and Australia, these allies can now counter China in the Indo - Pacific and make sure that China is prevented in taking more of the South China Sea under its DOMAIN.  This shows why POTUS wanted out of Afghanistan, while the Chinese have investments in the resources of Afghanistan.  The question is will this push China to try and take over Taiwan, if it did would lead to a regional WAR and WAR with the US, would the Chinese think that Biden does not have the guts to defend Taiwan after Afghanistan, the Chinese Regime might be miss reading the political situation  in the US, Biden would have to defend Taiwan after the failure of his Afghan policy, otherwise he would risk losing the  House and Senate in 2022 and the Oval in 2024.   Of course China might be thinking long term, wait out the US as the Taliban did, one never knows in International Politics.  Everything is political even in China. 

The French are peeved because they lost the billion dollar contract to supply the Australians with non nuclear subs, they French Foreign Minister called it a stab in the back, not sure if he meant the UK or Australia. No ever trusts the French, so their anger can be placed in the rubbish bin. 

What does Manchin WANT ? - Biden Agenda - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " The fight over Democrats' $3.5 trillion spending bill is reviving one of Washington’s most perennial questions: What does Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) want? "

Lets Get Real:

If you can take the Democratic Senator at his word, he wants a lower spending, 1 to 2 trillion, and wants to get some any Republican supporters.   The question is will the extreme left BEND or are they willing to lose the Biden Agenda and risk the House and Senate in 2022.  Of course Manchin might be bluffing and fold when the pressure comes from the White House and the rest of this Democratic Colleagues, the Republicans are united against the 3.5 trillion bill, might one of them fold, that would be a shock.  Interesting few days ahead in D.C. 

POTUS has talks with Senate Democrats who oppose 3.5 trillion Bill - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.38pm post the following, " Senator Kyrsten Sinema met with Joe Biden for about an hour at the White House to discuss the $3.5tn spending package, according to CNN.  "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes these moderates hold out for a lower number, 3.5 trillion on anything from welfare to tax cuts is to high, also they should oppose tax hikes that make it more simple for companies to leave the US and go to a lower tax level Country.  Also the problem with welfare, and its always welfare with the the extreme left is that it GROWS, it never goes down, the more welfare the more people you put on welfare and they get stuck in that cycle.   One can argue that WELFARE is un - American, the US only grows because individuals have ideas and they bring them to market, they either work or they fail, with welfare people get stuck in a cycle of dependence on it. Would the US be the only super power today if at its start everyone was on welfare, look at the UK, British Empire, once we had welfare, no EMPIRE, there is a link. 

Arms RACE in Asia between North and South Korea - Asia/Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " North and South Korea have tested ballistic missiles hours apart from each other, highlighting an arms race on the peninsula as nuclear talks with the North remain stalled.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we have a Asian Arms race in Asia, this should concern the US, Japan and China, the ballistic test by North Korea is against a UN Resolution and creates tensions in the area, yesterday NK tested a cruise missile, that fly's lower and could contain a nuclear bomb.   The US has to be very firm with North Korea and China, the Chinese should show they want better relationship with the West by pulling in its ally, if it can, otherwise it shows that China is impotent when it comes to Pyongyang ( Capital of North Korea ), the North Korea Regime needs food for its people, it has shut it self off from the World due to the pandemic, one can assume whatever the Regime says that COVID - 19 has reached NK.  There must be many deaths it the poor Country.  One can assume that North Korea is trying to send a message, what that message is might be complex, it wants talks with the West but on its terms, it wants to keep its nukes and for the West to feed it people, that is a no go, or should be by the West. 

Open Warfare between Moderate and Left Wing Democrats - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports on the political fights between moderates and progressives when it comes to the Biden Agenda, "The fights increasingly are taking place in public, with various members sparring in television interviews and on social media.  "

Lets Get Real:

The LEFT WING of the Democratic Party really want to pass the 3.5 trillion bill, in that bill it contains spending on welfare, climate change and tax hikes on the rich.  IT will be up to moderates such as Senator Manchin to keep to his word and vote on NO on the package.  Any bill worth 3.5 trillion is not good, it does not matter if it s welfare or tax cuts, some day someone else has to pay the piper, and that is normally the middle class and the working class.  The rich always have good lawyers and accountants who get them the best deal, while the rest get shafted.  One hopes the moderates keep a firm bat and say NO, it is expected that all the Republicans will all vote NO, interesting few days ahead. 

The Royal Prerogative returned to the PM - General Election 2023/4?

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson moved a step closer to taking back powers to call a general election whenever he wants, after MPs gave their backing to government proposals.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Fixed Term Parliament was a massive mistake by the the Coalition Government of the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, it blocked a PM from asking the Queen to dissolve Parliament when the polls were good for the PM.  Thus it can be postulated that the PM is looking for a early election in 2023 or 24, it depends how the COVID - 19 booster shot goes and if the pandemic is nearly over.  The Labour Party also supports getting rid of the Fix Term Parliament, should they win a general election ( it can happen ) or lead a minority Government they want to call an election when the polls are good for them.   POLITICS never stop, we are going much like the US.   

A Cruise Missile Test by North Korea - Asia/Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " North Korea has tested a new long-range cruise missile capable of hitting much of Japan, state media said on Monday.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be argued that this is North Korea wanting to get back in to the headlines, after the debacle that was Afghanistan and the anniversary of 9/11.  The North Korean Regime might think it has the number for POTUS, a weak and feckless President, and a appeaser.  They could be RIGHT.   The test of a cruise missile has not caused a major news development, perhaps that was the point, the North Korean Regime might want to get the attention of the Biden Oval, what next a ballistic missile test, that would get the attentions of the Americans, specially if it could get to the US mainland or other areas.  The US has to be FIRM, it has to support South Korea and Japan, they are the major allies of the US in Asia. It can be postulated that NK is up to something or wants something, an interesting development.
