OPEC+ BACKSTABS the US over Oil - Biden Era

The White House: Has a Statement by the White House on the decision of OPEC+ to reduce Oil in the system and thus increase prices, "  The President is disappointed by the shortsighted decision by OPEC+ to cut production quotas while the global economy is dealing with the continued negative impact of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. At a time when maintaining a global supply of energy is of paramount importance, this decision will have the most negative impact on lower- and middle-income countries that are already reeling from elevated energy prices......At the President’s direction, the Department of Energy will deliver another 10 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the market next month, continuing the historic releases the President ordered in March. The President will continue to direct SPR releases as appropriate to protect American consumers and promote energy security, and he is directing the Secretary of Energy to explore any additional responsible actions to continue increasing domestic production in the immediate term.....In light of today’s action, the Biden Administration will also consult with Congress on additional tools and authorities to reduce OPEC’s control over energy prices.....With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. is now poised to make the most significant investment ever in accelerating the clean energy transition while increasing energy security, by increasing our reliance on American-made and American-produced clean energy and energy technologies.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can assume that the Presidential visit to Saudi Arabia did not build bridges with the regime, that is what happens when you castgate its leader in your Presidential campaign, as Biden did in 2020 and then go and ask for a favour.  Less oil in the system, helps Russia with its fight with the West, Putin's Kremlin will be very happy, thus the Biden Oval will have to make sure that oil prices do not go up before the November Mid Terms, and also that Western Allies have enough power to prevent power cuts, in that case this would be Germany.  It could be a very cold winter in Europe.   Thus one can see the Putin strategy, weaken Europe through the Winter, force them to place pressure on Ukraine to give up areas to Russia, also if that does not happen, have a low yield nuclear bomb ready to go if the Russians take more losses, even Russia State media is starting to brake, the Russian people cannot say they do not know what is going on, the young men of Russia are heading for the borders, the gossip about the deaths will get through, this happened during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s.  Putin does not have all the time in the World. 

Guardian Review of the Liz Truss's speech to the Party Conference - Liz Truss Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.55pm post the following, " Truss's speech - verdict from Twitter commentariat.....And this is what political journalists and commentators are saying about Liz Truss’s speech. “OK” would be a reasonable summary, in so far as there is a consensus.   "

Lets Get Real:

This is the LEFT WING Guardian, thus an OKAY from them means it was a great speech and went down well with the Party Conference and should with a pity of luck go down well with the Country.  It will be interesting to see how the speech is treated during the day by the 24/7 news networks and by the later BBC News at 10.  The PM was damaged by the need to abandon the 45p tax cut, she did not have the numbers in the HOUSE OF COMMONS, the Whips have to do a better job, put the fear of God in to MPs, they are there because they had the Conservative symbol by their name, that can be removed if they get out of line.  The Cabinet needs to recall collective responsibility, the Government should speak with one VOICE, and that is the PM voice.  On the whole a good day for the PM, let' see how the Markets are at the end of the day. 

Key moment of PM Liz Truss Speech at the Party Conference - After Brexit/After Boris

Guido Fawkes: Reports on a key part of PM's Truss speech to the Party Conference, " I will not allow the anti-growth coalition to hold us back… Labour, the LibDems, the SNP, the militant unions, the vested interests dressed up as think tanks, the talking heads, the Brexit deniers, Extinction Rebellion, and some of the people we had in the hall earlier… the fact is, they prefer protesting to doing. They prefer talking on Twitter to taking tough decisions… [they] peddle the same old answers. It’s always more taxes, more regulation and more meddling. Wrong, wrong, wrong!  "

Lets Get Real:

The above are great lines, but can the PM get her agenda through the House of Commons, can she get the support of Conservative MPs, far to many like to see their own pet agenda in headlines, Young Tobias or OLD Gove, that is the problem when you have been in power for 12 years, there are to many former Ministers on the backbenches who see their political careers as over and those that have pet projects, like Young Tobias who wants to get the UK back in to the EU or OLD Gove who is being the opposition because he can, he had backstabbed to many PMs for him to be taken seriously, but he is by the left wing press.  PM Truss has to be like Lady T, make sure she has supporters in the House of Commons, she should visit the tea rooms, get to know her MPs.  The Truss agenda can not be just imposed, it needs to become part of the Party agenda .

US Support for the Ukraine could LEAD to Conflict - Russia - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.03pm post the following, " Russia warns US of direct military clash risk....The US's decision to send more military aid to Ukraine "increases the danger of a direct military clash" between Russia and the West, Russia's ambassador in Washington has warned.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are losing in the Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army is pushing the Russians faster than they can run, and there must be a FEAR that Putin will use a low yield nuclear bomb in the the Ukraine sector.  The Russians are moving their nuclear train close to the Ukraine border, one does hope that Putin has not gone MAD, is there any one in the Kremlin bunker to tell him to STOP.  The reason the Russian soldiers could be moving to fast could be they think that Putin has decided to use a nuke, and they do not want to fall victim to that, that is just a THEORY of this blog.  Putin is like a cornered rat, he might bite at any time and any direction.   KYIV Government has the Russians on the run, they should push hard before winter comes and the ground and weather makes it cold to fight, very much like World War 1 over again. 

Is the nuclear Russian Bear on the Move - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Russian nuclear military train is seen on the move in 'possible warning to the West' that Putin is prepared to escalate his Ukraine war...Military analysts claimed this could be a sign of escalation in Ukraine conflict on behalf of Moscow, or preparation for large-scale nuclear readiness tests  "

Lets Get Real:

This could be Putin's move to counter the success of the Ukraine in areas that were under Russian control since their invasion of February.  The Kremlin might be thinking that their Army is not up to much, and their partial call up of troops has frightened Russian males, from published photos of those called up show old men in their 40s and 50s, if the Russian Leadership has to scrap the barrel for Soldiers then they have a problem.  Also it must be hundred of thousands of Russian men are heading to the borders to get hell out of dodge.  It is somewhat of shock that the Kremlin has not closed the borders, one must postulate that Putin would rather have the opposition outside of the Country than on the streets calling for Putin to go.  The question is will Putin really set of a low yield tactical nuclear weapon in the Ukraine, the West would react, but the land lost to Ukraine would be clouded by radiation, thus no one can live there, much like Chernobyl after 1986.  The forests around Chernobyl are still full of radiation, it would take years to clean up an area if a tactical nuclear weapon was used in the Ukraine, Putin might call that a WIN, no one could use the land, is Putin really that MAD ?  What would the NATO DO, that is the question at the moment. 

A Major U - Turn on Tax by the Truss Government - Liz Truss Era

BBC News: Reports on the decision not to abolish the 45p tax rate and the political ramifications, " So what state is the government in this morning? Battered and bruised? Definitely humiliated? Probably. Unable to recover? Some Tories think so, but time will tell.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a major U - Turn by PM Liz Truss, the great Lady T would never have done this kind of U - TURN, but then the late PM was more careful, she had to put up with the WETS in her Cabinet for a few years, and she was sure of the loyalty of a FEW.  This is not the POLL TAX, and a week is a long time in politics, and the Government can come back if it gets PR operation in better shape, also the Chief Whip needs to get his/her whip out to make sure backbench MPs are loyal to the Party, names should be taken who have rebelled, also a warning to the new ones, that disloyal MPs do not get Government jobs or favours.  Liz Truss has lost one of her political lives, she has to be careful, there is a general election in two years time.  Also there is a warning that during the winter we could face power cuts, it would be like 1978 ALL OVER AGAIN.  After the Party the Conference the PM has to get her ship on the right course, otherwise we face a Labour Government in 2024.

Another Nuclear THREAT from Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.02pm post the following, " 

Former Russian PM believes Putin's speech included veiled nuclear threat..

Mikhail Kasyanov....Speaking to Sky News, he pointed out that Mr Putin promised to defend the annexed territories as new sovereign territories of Russia "by all means" necessary.   "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are sabre rattling again, this has to STOP, the best way to is to say that should Putin use a tactical nuclear weapon on the Ukraine then NATO and the EU will accept Ukraine as member on the hour that the bomb goes off. Putin is mad bully, talking to bullies gives them more power, they have to be countered, even at the threat of WAR.  One hopes that the Biden Oval has made it clear, that should Russia use a tactical nuclear weapon then ALL BETS ARE OFF, the West will react with the placing of NATO troops in to the Ukraine, and will upgrade the weapons that NATO Countries give to the Ukraine.  Putin thinks the West is WEAK, that it cares more about Trans rights than the people of the Ukraine, this is the time to show him, that he is WRONG.  The Biden Oval can defend trans rights, but also defend the Ukraine, its about rights at the end of the day, and Putin is a modern Hitler, at least Stalin had communism in his mind to justify the mass murder.  Putin needs to be seen to be defeated, or this problem will come again.
