Guardian: Reports in its 10.57am post that President Putin praises President Trump for his views on Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
This is typical of Putin, pandering to Trump and his ego. The Oval has shown it is a Lap dog to Putin, this blog has never seen a politican like Trump, the constant need for praise, and if he does not get it, will praise himself, thus the Presidential Address he gave a few days ago. With Trunp in the Oval and Putin in the Kremlin, the World will be lucky to avoid WW3.
BBC News Reports in its 9.38am post that the EU is to loan the Ukraine 90 billion Euros to fight the Russians.
Lets Get Real:
This is a way of doing it, it is not Russian frozen Assets held in Belgium. This will annoy Putin, he is making claims that Ukraine is retreating on all fronts, typical Russian false claims, the WAR is costing Russia in men and resources, as long as the West, in this case Europe funds Ukraine by whatever means then the WAR can go on. Russia cannot be allowed to win.
BBC News Reports that President Zelensky has stressed the need for frozen Russians to be given to Ukraine, they need it for the WAR effort.
Lets Get Real:
The Belgium PM has great reservations about the plan, this blog has a long memory, the UK supported Belgium in 1914, thus the start WW1, also Belgium during the First Gulf War would not give missil parts for the UK, they said SORRY, its the first reaction that is important, the European Countries are trying prevent WW3, while Belgium is playing politics, if they are ever invaded again then the UK should consider its position. Let's hope Europe gets its act together over the next few hours and days.
Sky News: Reviews of the Presidential Address by President Trump.
Lets Get Real:
It's best to review a speech after a good night's sleep. The speech was angry, POTUS defended is domestic agenda, he seemed to get more angry as he went on, his poll numbers have gone down, every 2nd term President has this problem, it should be noted Reagan's polls went down after Iran - Contra, his polls only went up after he admitted the policy mistake from the Oval Office. Let's note Reagan left OFFICE with a 63% approval rating and his VP becoming President. One wonders if Trump can do the same.
Sky News: Reports in its 11.33pm post on remarks by Putin of Russia, the Russian President has stated that Western Leaders are causing War hysteria about Russia.
Lets Get Real:
This is further Russia distortion of the truth, finally the West is taking the Russian threat seriously, the Appeasement of Russia over Ukraine could lead to WW3, the Russian Bear is a tyranny, and the autocracy controls Russia, as did the USSR did during the Communist era. The UK lion and the American Eagle has to be on guard, whatever Putin and Trump say about the issue.
Sky News: Reports in its 9.05am post that Russia has stated it has no understanding of the new and REVISED Peace plan.
Lets Get Real:
The Russians are stuck in their previous demands, they must have seen the news from Berlin, they will NEVER accept Western Troops in the Ukraine or the US security guarantees from the US and Europe. Thus the Trump will have to make a choice, does he support Europe over Russia, did he have balls of steel to go up against Putin, his tyrant buddy. The next few days will be interesting.
Sky News: Reports in its 6.57pm post that European leaders have agreed to supply a multi national force for Ukraine às a security guarantee.
Lets Get Real:
Moscow will reject this move and the US security guarantees, they will see this as threat, NATO Troops in East Ukraine, thus preventing Russia from doing another attack in future. This will force Trump to blame Russia, of course he could go back the Russian approved peace plan and place more on Ukraine. This would force Europe to take a firm stand against Trump and Putin. Thus more talks to come, talks are better than War as Churchill would have said, in the meantime the poor people of Ukraine suffer.
