Ukraine invades Russia - Russian-Ukraine WAR - Biden Era

 Guardian reports that the Ukraine has done a small invasion of Russia.


Lets Get Real:

This will embarce Putin, and show that he is a weak leader, if the Ukraine can divert Russian troops from the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, that is good on the strategical level and will uplift the morale of the people of the Ukraine.    This might force the Russian people to question the Putin leadership, also if it carries on, cause a coup by the Russian Army or the elites in Russia, this War needs to end with victory for the Ukraine before the November election in the US, just in case Trump wins.

UK Troops on standby to help UK Citizens stuck in Lebanon

BBC News Reports that UK has set a thousand UK troops on standby to help UK Citizens leave Lebanon. 

Lets Get Real:

At when it comes to this type of operation the British Armed Forces are the BEST, if needed they will get ALL the Brits out.  CNN reports that Iran is getting ready to take action, lets hope its limited and no one gets hurt, and Israel takes limited retribution, those are big If's.   Sometime the West will have to deal with a nuclear armed Iran, Israel will never allow that to happen! A NUCLEAR IRAN would be a danger to the Middle East and the West.


RCP Average of polls has Harris beating Trump by 0.5%- 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election

RealClearPolitics has the Average of the Harris 47.4%, Trump 46.9%, Harris leading by 0.5%.

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Harris/Walz ticket is on a roll, I want to see the VP do some though interviews on Foreign Policy, on the Ukraine and Gaza/Israel.  This blog does not mind if Harris is liberal, this blog has soft spot for LBJ, but President Johnson was tough on foreign policy, you can't be liberal at home and abroad.   The Democratic Convention next!

VP Harris choses Walz as her VP choice - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election -Biden Era

Guardian reports that VP Harris has chosen Governor Walz as her running mate.

Lets Get Real:

This is a shock,  Walz is liberal like Harris, two liberals on the ticket could be a gift to the Republicsns, they will point out that the other candidate Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania was not chosen because he is Jewish and a firm supporter of Isrsel, the polls on this should be interesting.  Thus the campaign properly starts, Trump will have a field day with this, even the Liberal elite might raise a eyebrow over this decision.  ALSO lets recall that Governor Walz of Minnesota is the Governor of the only State to vote for Walter Mondale in 1984 and years later voted not to put Walter Mondale back in the Senate, thus the joke that Mondale had lost every State of the Union, even I can think of the political adverts to hit the Harris/Walz campaign with, to Liberal for the fly over States!

Drone strike on Northen Isrsel - Middle East Crosis - Biden Era

Sky News reports on a drone strike on Northen Israel, the Drones  came from Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Lets Get Real:

This seems a  carry on of the border strikes between Israel and Hezbollah, not the expected strike from Iran.  It could be a signal from Iran to its allies in the region, to expect action from Iran, Tehran wants to catch Israel and the US napping, they have to be on ALERT over the next few days!

Some US Soldiers injured in ATTACK- Middle East Crisis- Biden Era

CNN reports that some US Soldiers have been injured by an attack on a US base in Iraq.

Let's Get Real:

The World is waiting to see what Iran does after the assassination of the Hamas political leader in Tehran.   Thus far nothing, could the Iraq attacks be a signal for various groups allied to Iran to take action.   The Iraq attack will force the Biden Oval to ACT, at some point, now is just the waiting to see, what happens, the crisis has its own internal logic, as always in the Middle East.

Iran says it has a DUTY to PUNISH Iran - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

Thus nothing from Iran, just the words of fury, it might mean that the some of the elite in Iran who want caution might be wining the argument about not jumping the gun.  On the other hand the latest statement might mean that Tehran is getting its ducks in the row before hitting Israel, and pushing the Israeli Government to take action that could lead to a regional war, LST TIME it took Iran 12 days to react, one does wish that the Biden Oval has some influence in the region, but the Biden Oval is weak, its is not running for re-election and the VP is not trusted in Israel, she is seen as more supportive of the people of Palestine than of Israel.   The next few days should tell us the direction of travel, its waiting that makes you worried that Iran will do something that forces Israel and the US to take direction against Iran.  Lets recall that the US Secretary of State has stated that Iran it two weeks from break out to having the bomb.
