Germany to bring in Voluntary Military Service - Update

BBC News:  Reports that Germany is to bring in Voluntary Military Service for those 18 and over.

Lets Get Real:

This is a needed development, France is doing the same thing.  The threat of the Russian Bear is growing, if they take the Ukraine, Baltic States are next, also Poland, Eastern Europe has to wake up to the fact we have a 2nd Cold War with Evil Putin of Russia.   The Trump Oval cannot be trusted, would you take Trump's word to the bank, NO if you have a brain cell.  The UK should follow the TREND of Europe, this blog can think of a few that could do with it, they might even learn to write and do maths.  

Either leave the Donbas or Russia will take it by Force - Putin

BBC News: Reports that President Putin has stated the view, either the Ukraine leaves the Donbas in Eastsern Ukraine or will take it by military force.

Lets Get Real:

PUTIN is making it clear he has not changed his demands, he wants the WHOLE of the Donbas in Eastsern Ukraine, and no US security guarantees from the US for a reduced a Ukraine.  The West, in this case Europe has to defend Ukraine or Eastsern Ukraine is next, that means the Baltics and Poland.

Not total rejection of US peace plan - Russia

Sky News: Reports in its 9.37pm post that Russia has stated it would be wrong to say Russia rejected the US peace Plan for the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The Russian Bear is playing games, it does not want to annoy POTUS, it accepted some parts of the US peace Plan but stated some parts we're unacceptable to the Kremlin.   It will be interesting to see what Trump says and who he blames.  The grind of WAR goes on.

US and Russian talks bring no solution to Ukraine War - Russia

BBC News: Reports in its 10.14pm post that the US and Russia have not reached a compromise deal on the Ukraine in talks in Moscow.

Lets Get Real:

The 28 point plan produced by Moscow is in the bin, there is no way that Zelensky in Kyiv could have agreed, his Government would have fallen, thus the European version has also been rejected by Moscow.  The Kremlin is sabre rattling again, they want to divide Europe from the US.  Italy is going through panic attack, as in WW1 and WW2, you cannot trust Rome, they had been supporting the Ukraine, now they have frozen arms supplies to the Ukraine.   This endless war carries on in Europe.

Venezuela and Trump 47 - Update

 CNN: Reports  that President Trump is to hold a Oval Office Meeting on Venezuela tonight.

Lets Get Real:

The drums of war are already going on, it seems that POTUS might want to go to  WAR with Venezuela over its trafficking of drugs.  The liberal Media is more concerned about drug smugglers  than defending the good people of the US and Venezuela from Drugs, the Democrats have gone of the political reservation, the extreme left could allow the Republicans to win the 2026 Mid Terms, EVIL has to be fought in Southern America and the Ukraine.   

US Envoy Steve Witkoff in Russia on Tuesday - Update

Sky News: Reports that US Envoy Steve Witkoff  will be in Russia on Tuesday for discussions on the peace plans for the Ukraine - Russia War.

Lets Get Real:

One has to ask if this is a good idea, it was Witkoff who produced the first peace plan that was very favourable to Russia, it was a Russian wish lit for Christmas.  It has been reported that the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio is more of a hawk on the Ukraine - Russia War and that different branches of Trump's foreign policy term as doing their own thing, and it will come down to whom Trump favours and what Russia will give concessions on, if any.   The Kyiv Government under President Zelensky  will not give up land, it would fall if he was pushed in to any agreement.   Steve Witkoff has never visited the Ukraine, and seems to view the War through the eyes of Trump, the President is very pro Russia, thus Europe has to be firm with the White House, they have to support Kyiv, and be ready to send troops from the coalition of willing in to East Ukraine, as a buffer zone between the Ukraine and Russia.

The issue of Ukrainian land the most difficult - Zelensky

BBC News: Reports that President Zelensky has stated that the issue of concessions on Ukrainian land is difficult.

Lets Get Real:

This will be difficult issue, there is no way that Zelensky could sign a deal that gives away Ukrainian land still under control of Kyiv, his government could fall, the Ukrainian Parliament would say NO, the thing that Trump could offer would be security guarantees that  are approved by the US Senate. Everyone knows that Putin will come back for more in the future.
