US and Iran in talks in Geneva - Update

BBC News: Reports that  President "Trump said he would be "indirectly" involved and suggested Tehran was motivated this time to negotiate."

Let's Get Real:

This is POTUS wobbling, as stated in the article Trump thinks that Iran wants a Deal as it understands the consequences of not making a deal.   IN the view of Trump Tehran does not want another War like the 12 day WAR last year.  This Trump appeasing Tehran, the theocracy know now that if they appear to give concessions, then Trump will fold like a cheap suit.  The World will face an Iran crisis within a few years, Iran will have the bomb and West cannot do a thing, like North Korea.

Update:  BBC News reports that the talks between the US and Iran have finished, the articles states the following, " Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said the two countries had reached an understanding on the main "guiding principles", but work still needs to be done.  " This is the Iranian side taking the US to the cleaners, their Chief Negotiator has written a book on the art of a deal, everyone these days thinks they are Donald Trump.  It will be interesting to see what the US side say about the talks, as they are appeasing, they will be positive, the talks with go on endlessly, the Tehran Regime is good at that, and Trump is such an easy mark as they say in the con game.

Mass Blackout in Russia border Towns - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.00am post of a mass blackout in a Russian Border towns after attack by Ukraine.

Let's Get Real:

This shows Ukraine has cards  to play, and can cause the same destruction as Russia has done all over the Ukraine.   The Munich Security Conference showed that the European Allies think the June deadline by POTUS is nonsense, more months of death and destruction in the Ukraine War to come.


Geneva talks between Iran and US - Update

CNN: Reports that the US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the President Trump's son in law  Jared Kushner will represent the US in talks with Iran.

Let's Get Real:

When has this worked, has not worked with the Ukraine War, these two gentlemen are not DIPLOMATS, we are talking about nuclear weapons here, they have no experience of NUKES, Iran  it seems from the article is talking about allowing the US oil concessions, it has worked for the Regime in Venezuela, one can see endless talks going nowhere, while protesters rot in prison, Heaven Help Us.

Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier located near Oman - Update

BBC News: Reports the Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier has been located near Oman.

Let's Get Real:

Trump is shadow boxing with two aircraft carriers in the Middle East, as the article notes there are further talks with Iran, Tehran can play this game for years, just give enough to give Trump the appearance of a good deal, that all he wants at the end of the day! This blog will be shocked if he does anything, he is to afraid of a long war, he wants short wars with great headlines, as was the case with Venezuela.  Then there are the Mid Terms in November, he does not want the Democrats in charge of the House and Senate.

Murder by another Name - Putin Regime - Update

Sky News: Reports that Russian Opposition leader Alexei Navalny,  was killed by the venom of an Ecuador poison frog, UK and Allies have found.

Let's Get Real:

Thus Russians must be tired of pushing people through open windows, when one hears a critic of Putin has fallen from a window, one assumes the worse, or when an ex Russian spy who defected to the UK, they used WMD to attempt to kill him.   Then there was a critical of Putin who was killed by nuclear material in his tea, the police traced it back to Russia.   Thus we come to the case of Mr Navalny, who the Russians tried to kill before, but he still went back to Russia and certain arrest and death.   How much does Russia have to suffer if you include the Ukraine War?  When will the Madness end?.




The Ball is is the American Court - Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports that Iran has stated the Iranian- US talks on Iran's ambitions are in the US Court.

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime know that Trump is a TWACO, Trump will always Chicken Out, he does not have Presidential credibility, he likes quick  OPERATIONS, no loss of American lives, such as in Venezuela, likes good headlines, also there are elections in November, the Congress is up for elections, he is NO Reagan as mentioned in previous post, also to be honest the MAGA base after Afghanistan and Iraq do not like long and costly wars.   The exception is weak Presidents, Carter, Biden, will Trump add his name to weak holders of the Oval Office.  Trump's predecessor,  Joe Biden never recovered from the mess of the US leaving Afghanistan, image's that are iconic now! So what will Trump do about Iran.

Regime change in Iran would be best - Trump

Sky News: Reports that President Trump has stated Regime change in Iran would be best, as he sends the USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East.

Let's Get Real:

If POTUS backs down NOW, he will have no Presidential credibility, the World will see him as a major WIMP who chickens out when the US is needed.   ONE hopes Oval understands that, he has set the game, he must follow through and take out the Iranian Regime.  ONCE Trump stated the US would support the protesters and come to their rescue, he has no choice, to miss quote Margaret Thatcher, don't WOMBLE Donald!
