The Other Crisis after the Ukraine - Iran and the bomb - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Israel warns over Iran uranium capability with nuclear talks at halt....As IAEA board meets, Israel says Iran will be able to produce enough material for three warheads in weeks  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog and others have been warning for weeks that the Tehran Regime is playing games with the World Community, it can be postulated that Iran already has the bomb or is a few weeks from making them.  The Biden Oval if it waits to long for action of some kind, might find that Israel does not wait and takes action and that could lead to a regional war.  If the US takes action, there is more chance that Iran does nothing if attacked, a reaction could lead to a regime collapse, the US has no love for Iran, so it might decided to take out the whole regime.  That is a good thing to run on 2024, everything is political.  The West has delayed for YEARS, the time might just have arrived, for the West and the US to give IRAN one final chance to tell the whole truth about its nuclear abilities or ELSE. 

Queen's Coffin in Westminster Hall - King Charles III Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.03pm post the following, " Queen’s coffin reaches the Palace of Westminster.....Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin has reached the Palace of Westminster - the home of the UK Parliament - after a solemn procession through the streets from Buckingham Palace.  "

Lets Get Real:

It was so moving watching the Queen's coffin being taken from Buckingham Palace down to Westminster Hall, the coffin was followed by the King, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex.  The death of the Queen has bought the family together, that was good to see after the last few years.  Seeing the coffin, with the Imperial State Crown on top bought the reality that the Queen is dead, after her long service she can join her husband, Prince Philip, who died last year.  The responsibilities of the Crown now fall on King Charles IIII with the help of his Queen.  After a short service the people will be allowed in to see the coffin, sometime time during the day the Queen's children will do a vigil by the coffin, it will be a very moving sight.  

GOD SAVE THE KING

Ukraine Update Today - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News:  Reports " We've retaken 6,000 sq km from Russia, says Zelensky  "

Lets Get Real:

Even in Russia the success of Ukraine Forces has been noted and the general opinion is that the Russian Defence Department has let Putin down.  The Ukrainian Forces are fighting for their Country, the Russians are fighting for Putin's ego, that is not something you can explain at the Pearly gates if you get killed in Ukraine.  The question is what will Putin do in reaction, he has gotten men from prison and those walking the street to fight for his WAR.  At what point does Putin go nuclear, it can be argued that Putin if he wants to, could drop a low level nuclear bomb on the areas that the Ukrainian Forces have retaken, he might think if Russia cannot have them, then no one will, its always an option he has, would he do something like that, that is a open question.  How would the West react should Putin go nuclear, that would change the game in the Ukraine, that would bring in NATO, the War in the Ukraine is not over yet. 

After the Queen's Funeral, Budget on the Way - After Brexit/After Boris

Guardian: Reports " Liz Truss likely to visit US and hold mini-budget next week.....PM expected to attend UN meeting after Queen’s funeral, with ‘fiscal event’ likely to follow before end of next week  "

Lets Get Real:

The Truss Government has to follow through with TAX CUTS, the PM promised that in her leadership bid, the National Insurance hike will be dropped, also the PM should look at cutting business rates and individual taxes.  The UK PM has to jump start the economy, before the Conservative Party conference, that is open to question, the Conservative Party will show respect due the death of the Queen.  In other words politics comes back, the cost of living crisis has to be dealt with, also the PM needs to go to the Ukraine to support the Ukrainian people against Russia.  It is going to be a rough and hard winter, and one never knows that Putin will do, if he is running out of options he might used a low level nuclear device, Putin will feel like a caged animal and he is under critical review from his right, who want tough action. 

Brexit Update - After Brexit/After Boris - Liz Truss Era

Daily Mail: Reports " EU's Brexit chief Maros Sefcovic claims Northern Ireland border checks could be reduced to a 'couple of lorries a day' as he bids to end Protocol row with offer to new PM Liz Truss  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus finally the EU is coming around, this shows if you are tough with the EU they will back off, if you are weak they will walk all over you.  The PM should consider the above offer, but make sure that only couple a lorries a day, is one or two, no more than that, the EU might being tricky, we a agree the deal and they go back on their word.  Thus any new agreement has to be agreed in writing and signed off by the EU, those on the ground would have to follow the rules.  If the EU is just playing games, then the PM should follow through the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill and wait the EU out.  Also the DUP has to agree to the deal, it is the only way that the DUP will go back in to Government in the province with the Nationalists Leader.  This shows that the moaning remainers cannot even count on the EU, they have been left on their own. 

Ukraine TRICKED Russia on its Counter - Offensive - Ukraine - Russian War

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.33am post the following, " The Russians appear to have been tricked by Ukrainian military strategists, according to the former head of the UK armed forces...It comes after Ukraine's attack in the Kharkiv region came as a surprise for Moscow, which had relocated many of its troops from the area to the south in expectation of the main Ukrainian counter-offensive there.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Kyiv Government has the US and its Allies on its side, thus one would assume they are getting military advice, one can assume the US NSA and CIA will be keeping the KYIV up to date on the the positions of Russian Forces in the North.  The Russians do not have that many allies, and thus it find itself according to reports with Putin talking to Soldiers on the ground as he does not trust the competence of his Generals.  The Russian Army has to deal with the fact that Russian conscripts do not want to fight in the Ukraine, and thus Russia is getting prisoners and others on the street to sign up, that kind of move never ends well. If Putin had a brain cell he would ask for PEACE TERMS, and to stop the advance of the Ukraine forces, he major defeat could cost him his job.

Massive Success of Ukrainian Forces in Counter - Offensive - Ukraine - Russia War

BBC News: Reports " Ukrainian forces outnumbered Russians by eight to one in last week's counter-attack in the Kharkiv region, Russia's top occupation official there says.  "

Lets Get Real:

The success or Ukrainian Forces in the North has come as a shock to the Kremlin, the Russian Forces have run for their lives, leaving their equipment, also the quick retreat could be seen that the Russian Forces had left during their meals.  The WINTER is coming soon, the fighting will then freeze on the ground, the Kyiv Government wants to get a much land back as possible.  In the winter it can be expected that the Kremlin will turn their gas supplies in to a weapon, they have already stopped sending gas to Europe, they are hoping that freezing citizens will force their government to place pressure on on the Kyiv Government to deal on Russian terms.  This is a risky move, the UK will never place that kind of pressure on a ally.  The rest of Europe is open to question.  One hopes that Kyiv has further success in their counter offensive, but they must be careful that Putin does not go for broke and use battlefield nuclear weapons, that is always a risk.
