Mother of All Bombs for Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports the following, " Nightmare for Trump as oil prices rocket with 12 days to midterms after report reveals president plotting 'Mother of All Bombs' Iran blitz "

Let's Get Real:

Iran is a constant trouble for POTUS, he started the War which saw oil prices go through the roof and could be the reason that Trump will lose US Congress to Democrats.   The Trump Oval has blamed Ukraine for the pain of the pump to voters who have a car, not his WAR of choice being Iran.  Both Trump and Putin have started WARS they cannot finish, Trump does not have the guts to finish of the theocracy in Iran, it takes ground troops and nerve of steel, Trump talks big  but never follows through.  If the report is true it will come to late for the Republicans to save their majorities in the US Congress.  Trump should wipe the theocracy away from Iran, it would benefit in the long term and the West.  It could bring peace to the Middle East, since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 the cancer of Iran has grown, and is a constant threat to the Middle East and the West and been a constant to the Man behind the Oval Desk. 

Zelensky critical of US Envoy Steve Witkoff- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.56am post the following, " Zelenskyy takes swipe at Witkoff's 'humanitarian' remark to Putin "

Let's Get Real:

This was after a night of heavy bombing of the Ukraine by Russia.  Steve Witkoff this week has called President Putin a humanitarian, so was Stalin if we used the Witkoff logic, the fact that Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL and murder seems to have been forgotten by the US Special Envoy.  The fact that the Russians are killing Ukrainians on a daily bases, almost as it does not matter to Trump and Witkoff, both are deluded!

Trump supports Witkoff calling Putin a humanitarian - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 8.20pm post the following, " Trump defends special envoy Witkoff calling Putin a 'humanitarian' "

Let's Get Real:

If one is throwing those terms around, Stalin was a humanitarian because after Nazi Germany invaded he becomes a ally for Roosevelt and Churchill.  Lets be clear Stalin was a mass murder, only became ally after Germany invaded Russia in 1941 after breaking the Nazi - Soviet Pact, thus Stalin had nowhere to go but became Ally of the US and the UK.  Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL, his invasion of the Ukraine and those who have been killed on the orders of the Kremlin! Why Witkoff used the term one can only guess, it seemed even Trump was surprised by the comments!!  Diplomacy should be done by diplomats not a friend of Trump, Trump is major appeaser in the same league as Neville Chamberlain, but the UK had Churchill, when can we a Churchill for today! 

Russia Agreee to NEW TALKS - Update

BBC News: Reports " Russia says it is ready to resume talks with Ukraine and US to end war "

Let's Get Real:

This is Russia play acting, it has no interest in giving concessions, but wants one man to believe what it says, that is President Trump.  Over the last few years Trump has shown total loyalty to Putin, and been highly critical of the Ukraine President.  The Trump has stated that the Ukraine needs a new President, who will do as he is told BY Trump and Putin.   Thank the lord that Trump was not around for WW2, the US would have supported Germany, as it would fit with America First doctrine.  The supposed technical talks will start in November 10th, after the US Mid Terms and the start of the 2028 Presidential cycle.  In a Washington with the Democrats in charge of the House and even the Senate, the Democrats can be a force to support Ukraine, passing laws that will fun the Ukraine, it will be curious if Trump has the will to VETO such laws and how much Republican support that he will have to sustain a VETO, where are the Republican Reagan supporters, they used to care for national security of the US and the Western Alliance.

US Envoy in Moscow after Ukraine talks - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its 10.26am post, " US negotiator asks Putin to resume three-way Ukraine talks during meeting "

Let's Get Real:

The above is pointless, the Ukraine will not give up parts of the Donbas it controls and Russians still has its maximalist demands.  As the article notes Trump has been placing pressure on the Ukraine to give UP the Donbas in East Ukraine to Russia and Zelensky has said no.  The coalition of the willing will have to have a presence at the talks, as they don't trust Trump alone with Putin! This will be opposed by Moscow, the Kremlin does not want foreign troops as a security presence in the Ukraine.  Thus pointless talks

Why can't the Duke of Sussex shut up - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " Prince Harry says he wants to reconcile with Charles and William.....Duke of Sussex says ‘there’s enough drama in the world’ without continuing to have issues with family "

Let's Get Real:

It is a simple question, why can't the Duke of Sussex SHUT UP, one assumes the King is a push over, just want his kids talking, while the Prince of Wales is made to look bad, that is not fair! The Prince of Wales is not happy with Harry, he left, then a Netflix series then his memoirs that painted the Prince as his arch nemesis and violent, pushing him to the floor and breaking a dog bowl.  Then we have the frosty relationship between the Duchess and the Princess, who had her own health worries with cancer.  

It was the decision of the Duke and Duchess to come back, no one forced them, if they want back in to Royal Family they will have to do the work the rest of the family do, Royal engagements in the rain with few people around and for the Duke to say SORRY for his memoir and for calling the family racist.




Good Talks between US and the Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.14pm post the following, "  Talks were 'constructive' - and Witkoff is going to Russia tomorrow "

Let's Get Real:

The Russians still have their maximalist demands and the Ukraine will not give the Donbas to the Russians.  There have been false dawns in the Ukraine War, the Russians want the whole of the Donbas, the Ukraine to become a pawn of Russia, no NATO membership, no foreign troops on the ground, they also want some NATO States not to be part of NATO, like Poland and the Baltic States, thus no concessions from Moscow, thus back at the start.  It will take a new President in the US for the Ukraine to win.
