US Hostages held in Russia - New Cold War 2 - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports in its 7.19pm post the following, " 

Why won't the Russians let go Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich?......

A Russian judge earlier upheld the pre-trial detention of jailed American journalist Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested on spying charges in Ukraine..... The Wall Street Journal reporter is the first US correspondent since the Cold War to be detained in Russia on spying allegations.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Kremlin wants hostages, enough for the US to start talks that allows the Russians to win in the Ukraine, so far they hold 2, if the Ukraine can force the Russians back to the Crimea, the Kremlin will look for a way out, the best way out is to take Americans reporters as hostages, that gets on the nightly news back home, and places pressure on the Biden Oval to do something, the White House staff should keep the issue away from the Oval, Carter had his Iran hostages, and even the great Reagan had the hostages in Lebanon in the 1980s.  Thus the Iran Contra scandal.  The President cannot become distracted by the issue, the State Department should deal with the issue, the Department should warn Americans in Russia to get out, also the West should consider telling its reporters to get out, just in case the Kremlin wants to place pressure on Europe.  This is a nasty business, and the Russians actions are a stain on its character, but for Putin it might be a way out, he wants a major summit with Biden and the result  from the Kremlin point of view would be the US telling KYIV to talk to the Russians and make concessions and the Russia will release its hostages.   This must not happen, the security of the West is at stake. 

Putin visits Russian occupied Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine war: Putin visits occupied Kherson region in Ukraine....He attended a military meeting to hear reports from commanders, according to the Kremlin.  "

Lets Get Real:

The No1 War Criminal on the lose checks out how much damage his Army is doing to the Ukraine, also checking to make the Army is still loyal to him given the disaster that the Ukraine has been for Russia and the aim of Putin to return to the Glory years of Imperial Russia and the USSR.   One is surprised that Putin has not tired something BOLD to change the news on the ground, his loses his mouth to threaten nuclear war, but does nothing, and has not really reacted to Finland becoming part of NATO.  The Unity of NATO must has been a shock to Putin and the Kremlin, in fact Putin has made the NATO foundation stronger, Germany has finally given tanks to the Ukraine and Eastern Europe has given the Ukraine some old fighter jets.  Thus the question when will the Ukraine offensive take place, this might be their one chance of victory, the Russian offensive has failed so far.   It is time to push the Russians back to the Crimea. 

US Leaker Found - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Jack Teixeira: Suspect in Pentagon documents leak named....he is a 21-year-old member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard.  "

Lets Get Real:

How in the hell did a 21 year old get access  to top secret information that is seen by Senior Officers and the President, also how did the leaker know that the SAS was in the Ukraine.  This is treason, one hope's that Mr Teixeria has very expensive lawyer he can call.   The Leaker should be placed in a black hole, and feed bread and water when the Guards recall about him.  The leaker has placed the soldiers of the Ukraine in danger, helped the Russians, and made the West suspect the US security of not being safe.   The liberals will shout that he is young and it was attempt to impress his friends on line, that doe not matter, Treason is TREASON. The US Courts should come down HARD on the Traitor. 

How the Irish won their Independence, beating the Black and Tans at Rugby - Joe Biden - US Presidential Election 2024

Guardian: Reports " Joe Biden confuses All Blacks with Black and Tans during Ireland trip.....White House edits transcript after US president referred to military force rather than New Zealand rugby team  "

Lets Get Real:

This should make Democrats have a serious chat if they want to defend this kind of mistakes over the next five and half years.  As the Guardian notes in the article, the gaff did not cause a diplomatic incident in Ireland, what if Biden had made the mistake in Belfast.  Also the Black and Tans has  a lot of WELSH TROOPS as part of their membership, could have caused an incident.   It is best to leave the past in the PAST.  The above mistake in the future could cause WW3, the Ukraine is brewing for the Ukraine offensive in the spring, also China could invade Taiwan at any minute.   The Oval needs a POTUS who doe not have these problems, Biden is no Reagan. 

Duke of Sussex to Attend the Coronation of King Charles III

Guardian reports ( Internet) that Prince Harry the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation of his father as King Charles III.

Let's Get Real:

At least that clears one problem for the new King and Queen.  It can be postulated that Prince Harry can be managed without the Dutchess around, and will behave, all eyes will be on him, he has no formal role in the Coronation, how will he feel to see his arch nemesis, the Prince of Wales having a role and his son Prince George, it is sure to grate, also will the King and Prince of Wales have the private talk with him, as SPARE has shown he does not keep private chats confidential.  God Save the King

Taiwan sees China WAR Threat - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports ( Home Page ) that Taiwan sees a real threat from China after its President met the US House Speaker at the Reagan Presidential Library in the US.

Let's Get Real:

China could be serious this time, they see the US weak with Biden in the Oval, and distracted by the Russian WAR in the Ukaine, and the best time to invade as the US supplies Kyiv with military kit.   The US should be on ALERT for future developments in Asia. Of course China could wait in till 2024 to see who wins the 2024 Presidential Election, and hope of better results.  It should be noted neither Republicans or Democrats have a positive view of China.

Biden supports The Good Friday Agreemeny -- Biden Era

Sky News/BBC News/GB News: Reports on Biden' Speech in support of the Northen Ireland Assembly.

Let's Get Real:

The visit to the province was shorter than expected, as the Assembly was meant to be in session by now, the DUP are the hold outs!!  POTUS will spend most of his time in the Republic, locking down the Irish vote for 24 and meeting long distance family.    On the whole a good picture opportunity for the White House.
