Trench warfare in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Russians launch 'human wave' attacks in Ukraine: Putin's troops are cut down in continued WW1-style fighting for the town of Bakhmut......Fighting for the Ukrainian town of Bakhmut has intensified over Christmas after Russian armed forces deployed a fresh wave of troops and armoured vehicles on the front lines amid a barrage of new rocket attacks.   "

Lets Get Real:

The WAR in the Ukraine will only end when the US gets its finger out and sends troops, think 1917 and President Wilson's decision to declare War on Germany for making suggesting that Mexico enter the WAR and as a bonus getting some of the US States in return, well the WAR in the Ukraine is a even bigger threat to the US.  It only takes for the Russians to plant a dirty bomb in the Ukraine or for another stray missile from Russia to hit another NATO Country.  The security of the West is at stake, if it's going to happen it should happen when the US chooses to act, not being forces to ACT by events.   President Roosevelt was lucky after Imperial Japan bombed Pearl Harbour that Hitler declared War on the US, thus a two war front and of course the Allies were going to WIN with the power of the US.   President Biden if he had the courage would have sent US troops in to the Ukraine before the February invasion, the US and the West is being dragged in to a WAR, it did not chose and it will be costly.  One can say that 2023 will see more trench warfare and drone strikes, at some point the WEST, in this case NATO must act, human life is too precious to be left to politics wims of a US leader, there is the MORAL question at the end of the day. 

Constant BOMBING of KHERSON - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports "  Civilians flee Kherson as Russian attacks intensify...  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are doing to the Ukraine what they did to areas under those opposed to the Syrian Government in Syria, it's the same General in command.  The West should have three aims when it comes to the Ukraine, make sure that Russian can never WIN, and to arms the Ukraine Forces with what they need, also to feed and warm the people of the Ukraine, those in the trenches and those stuck in bomb shelters while the Ukraine bombs.  The WINTER WAR is still going, the troops in their trenches are still fighting, while the air war with drones has developed a new kind of warfare.  The Putin Regime knows it has to WIN in the Ukraine or its is finish.  The people of the Ukraine are fighting for their lives and their Country.  There is greater need for the Ukraine forces to win, as it is their country, the Russian conscripts are fighting to preserve the Putin tyranny, if that goes then the Soldiers can come home, the Russians need to LOSE as to get a chance to reclaim the freedoms they lost under Putin, it's that kind of WAR. 

Crisis Point 2 - South Korea and North Korea - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " North Korean drones 'violate airspace' - South Korea scrambles fighter jets and and fires warning shots in response "

Lets Get Real:

The new South Korean Government ran on pledge to be tougher on the North, the drone incursion response was the best defensive reaction, at some point the US and South Korea must deal with North Korea, no not a WAR, they have the ace card of having the bomb and in their own PR, they have an ICBM that can reach the US.  The US can not appear weak, it cannot appease North Korea, the US should get the Chinese Government to place pressure on the North to talk to the US, to give Biden his due he has tried talks but the North has not replied, also the US has to worry about China and Taiwan, either a WAR with North Korea or a WAR over Taiwan could lead to WW3.  The Chinese Government has friendly terms with Putin of Russia, in that EVIL AXIS is North Korea and Iran.  One just hopes they do not act as one, China invading Taiwan, North Korea making threatening moves on the South and Iran declaring to the WORLD that it has the bomb and Russia using a dirty bomb on the Ukraine, one gets the impression that the US thinks that Iran has the bomb already, and is just waiting for the right time to declare it, New Year would gets the World Attention.  2023 could be avery hot YEAR in so many areas. 

Crisis Point 1 - Ukraine Drones hits Russian Base in Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine war: Drone attack on Russian bomber base leaves three dead "

Lets Get Real:

This is BAD PR for the Kremlin, the Ukraine Air Forces is starting to hit Russia prober with Drones, just as the Kremlin is using Iranian Drones to hit the Ukraine.  As the article notes the Russians have used that base as a launch pad for their attacks on the Ukraine.  The WINTER WAR will be one of attrition on the ground, the Ukraine and Russian Forces will be fighting from the trenches, and will have to cope with the snow, mud, water, all the typical hallmarks of World War One is Western Europe.  The Ukraine Government has stated that they expect a Russian attack from the North and that Putin will try for Kyiv in the NEW YEAR.  There has been speculation that Belarus might join the War in the support of Russia, as their leader owes his time in OFFICE to President Putin.  President Biden must keep his nerve, he must not allow another Afghanistan, and the Reagan Republicans in the Republican Party have to support the funding of the Ukraine and its forces.  One does think about the poor people of the Ukraine, in bomb shelters, no power or light, to think this happening in Europe in the 21st Century. 

The First Christmas Message from the King - King Charles III

BBC News: Reports "  King Charles' first Christmas speech reflects cost-of-living crisis "

Lets Get Real:

It was a fine speech by the King, the first male Monarch to give a TV Message, the first Monarch to do a Christmas message via Radio was King George V.  As an indifferent Conservative voter I supported the King's praise for the public sector, if in No 10 might have had a my eyebrow up, as we know we have public sector STRIKES ALL over the place, thanking the public sector can turn to anger if Nurses, train employers and your Postie does not turn up with your Christmas cards or presents might rise the other eyebrow.   One assumes that that the King's speech was cleared or at least shown to the the No 10, as one can expect the Unions to bring it up in the new year with the Conservative Government.  One look forwards to a long reign by King Charles III and a more happy period, one can hope, the Ukraine is never far away from this blog's thoughts, something has to give, either the West is going to appease Putin or there is a Coup against President Putin, a peaceful YEAR ahead does not look likely, thus we have Russia in the Ukraine, North Korea and a expected nuclear test and Iran on the edge of getting the bomb. HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS FOR NEXT YEAR!

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year - Culture

Happy Christmas

Happy New Year

The Russian view of their WAR on the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.04pm post the following,  " 

Sergei Shoigu: Moscow wants to expand military as 'special operation' to continue in 2023....

Russia's defence minister has said the country's military must be expanded as he admitted "difficulties" during Moscow's partial mobilisation.....The defence minister also proposed raising the age range for mandatory Russian military service to cover Russian citizens aged 21-30.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that the Kremlin has learned from its recent call up of men to serve in the Ukraine, they are moving the goal post as to avoid having students do another run for the border, they have learned the lessons of the Vietnam War, one can speculate that the Kremlin thinks that older men will not do a runner as they will have left education.  This could be a costly mistake, in extending the age to be called up it could lead to protest from men who thought that they had escaped the draft, the first time around.  Sooner later the real death toll will come out in Russia, its makes the Afghanistan invasion of 1979 look like happy hour.  The amounts very, but it can be speculated it is in the tens of thousands.  Putin's Kremlin does not care about the number killed, it knows its head is on the chopping block, it is either wins in the Ukraine or Putin could find himself in the House of Special Purpose, it held the Imperial Family before their execution.  Thus expect the death toll to go up after the WINTER, EVIL has to be stopped, the Russian people cannot escape guilty for the War, the EVIL BEAR needs to be jailed and his claws removed.
