Ukraine will strike Russia's energy sources if they carry strikes on Ukraine Energy sources - Zelensky

Guardian: Reports the following, " Zelenskyy vows to retaliate if Russian strikes on Ukraine’s power grid continue. "

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Energy ceasefire came from nowhere, it seems neither Putin or Zelensky agreed beforehand, Zelensky stated that he will agree but will hit Russian energy sources if Putin carries on with his attacks.  The West  and Canada have been critical of Trump and his energy ceasfire, it is Appeasement to the level of Neville Chamberlain in 1938.  The Ukraine is modern Czechoslovakia, the West should send troops in to the Ukraine, that would stop Putin games, where is the Churchill of today,  the West needs to be resisting Putin and support the Ukraine.

2nd Houthi Strike on Saudi Arabia Airport -

BBC  News:  Reports "   One person has been killed and 11 injured in a second strike on the international airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh, officials have said. "

Let's Get Real:

The US should support Saudi Arabia should it react to this double ATTACK by  the Houthi of Yemen who support Iran.  This is a fundamental threat to the Western economy, higher the price oil, the more customer has to pay at petrol stations, thus increase in inflation,  its a vicious circle, the West in the shape of the US and UK should be part of any military action.

Russia broke Energy Ceasefire - Zelensky

Sky News: Reports in its 7.28pm post the following, " Russia hit Ukrainian power plant after Trump's 'ceasefire' announcement, says Zelenskyy "

Let's Get Real:

The Russians cannot be trusted, they promise and fail to delivery, to miss quote a great President, don't trust and verify.  POTUS has said that he is a great deal maker, in 6 years of power he has shown that he is flaky and likes tyrants.  The worse thing from the Trump perspective is being an ally.  In the 2nd term Trump has done nothing for the Ukraine, but make to coalition of willing so important to the security of the Ukraine.  Thank goodnes the Democrats will be in power after January 20th, they will try impeach Trum again, let's hope the Republicans support it and let's see if a President Vance will be different.

Canada critical of US - Russia Deal - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 9.44pm post the following from the Candiam Prime Minister, " US-Russia diesel deal 'in direct opposition' to Ukraine peace efforts, Carney says "

Let's Get Real:

POTUS has pulled a masterstroke in bad Diplomacy, he has knifed the Ukraine in the back with the diesel deal, and because the Ukrainian President was critical,  Trump has stated that Zelensky should go, then the 51st State as POTUS calls the Kingdom of Canada has called the deal out, how Trump ever got to higher education is a mystery.   The World should be critical of Trump and the US.

Trump's move to increase support before the November Elections - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " US President Donald Trump says he has reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin allowing Moscow to "immediately release" diesel into the global market. "

Let's Get Real:

This is a naked political ploy to keep the House and Senate Republican, its to late, the Iran War started the rise in diesel, thus Trump wants to solve his political problem, by allowing Putin out of the sanction box, the Ukrainian Government is not happy, what will Putin demand in exchange, lesser sanctions, pressure on Ukraine to fold.  Thus to gain a narrow political advantage Trump has stabbed Ukraine in the back, Moscow will jump for joy, they have what they wanted, Ukraine freezing in the cold and Russia making dollars from the easier sanctions, a bad day for the Ukraine and the coalition of the willing.

New US plan to solve the Ukrainian War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.24am post the following, "  US to present 'new proposal' in talks with Ukraine today " 

Let's Get Real:

The new plan will benefit Russia, one can say that before the plan is released, the Trump Oval is the puppet of President Putin, the plan is always the same, Ukraine will have to give concessions to Russi!  Trump must have the state of mind that great powers deal, and small countries have to obey, this is not the Yalta conference of 1945, when the US and UK gave major concessions to the then USSR.   The Kyiv Government has a VETO, its cards are the coalition of the willing countries that support the Ukraine.  One awaits but without hope that Trump finally get the message, Modern Russia is not the USSR! Its 2026 not 1945.

35 killed in Kramatorsk, Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its  7.13pm post the following, " Number killed in Kramatorsk today rises to 35 after evening strike hits car "

Let's Get Real:

The War in the Ukraine is at a deadlock phase, very much like in 1918 and the First World War, it took the arrival of the Americans under General Pershing to smash the Germans, at least Woodrow Wilson acted, Trump does nothing, he is never critical of Putin and the Russians, Wilson had run for a 2nd term on the US keeping out of WW1, when he acted it was decisive, Trump does nothing.  The American people support a leader, JFK and Reagan are great examples of this, Trump is so afraid of Putin that he is seen as a puppet of the Russian Leader.  If the Oval acted it would frighten Putin.
