Obama Vs Trump - The contest that never was - Update

BBC News: Reports the following "Obama attacks Trump as he campaigns for Democrats ahead of midterm elections "

Let's Get Real:

The dream match up would have been Obama vs Trump, one bringing HOPE the other would be FEAR, to be fair it can be stated that both Barack Obama and Donald Trump hate each other, it was joke at the expense of Trump at the Presidential Press Dinner  that allowed Trump to run 2016, there had been reports in earlier cycles that he was running, but he bided him time, it was reported that Trump thought he would lose in 2016 to Hillary Clinton but wanted to start his own TV Channel.  But the Trump was lucky in  2016 and he beat Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College.  That luck did not last in 2020 when he was beaten by Joe Biden, but Trump enjoyed BEING President, and he ran in 2024 and at first against Biden who was forced out due to a very bad debate performance, then VP Harris who become the Democratic Nominee.  Trump won the electoral college and beat Harris by taking the swing states.  If we go back 2009 when OBAMA won his First terms against the War hero John McCain, he was about hope, he was lucky the US Special Forces killed OBL of 9/11 infamy and saved the American Car industry.  The election of the first African - American President was seen as confirming that the US had come long war from the 1960s.   Then reality bit, enough to make it a real contest between Obama vs ROMNEY, although Obama won in the end he stated that Romney was fighting the Cold War, this was hostage of for the future, when Putin took over the Crimea with a soldiers in green uniform, OBAMA did not rate the Russian Federation, it was seen as a petrol station with Oil, thus when Putin invaded the East Ukraine it was down to President Biden to act, it was reported that Biden had thought Obama was weak for not acting in a tough with Putin, Trump stated that would solve the Ukraine - Russia on his 1st day as President, we are still waiting for that outcome, it is reported today that the parties Ukraine, Russian and the US will meet in November for new fresh talks.   In 2016 it was reported that Obama thought his VP, Joe Biden should not run because he was still affected by the death his son.  Thus HRC got the nomination of the Democratic Party and was the first woman to head the ticket, the problem was after 8 years Obama voters  wanted a complete change thus Trump.  Only VP to move to the Oval Office after being VP was Bush 41 under the great  Ronald Reagan, if take in to account the assassination of JFK who's  Vice - President was LBJ.  Then the Resignation of Richard Nixon in 1974 and the succession of VP Ford.   At the end of Presidency Obama had 58% job approval, Reagan and Clinton had higher Job approval ratings.  Thus if Obama had been more popular Clinton could have won and Biden could have challenged Trump.  Thus US election cycles made it impossible for great politicians Trump and Obama to face each other, one dares to think what kind of fight it would be, hope or fear winning,

Ukraine Satellite links to be restored - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its 5.03pm post " Rubio told us Starlink will be fully restored in 48-72 hours, Zelenskyy says "

Let's Get Real:

One had assumed this troubling issue had been solved, 48 to 72 hours can be an age in military terms, and with a City ceasefire one can assume that the Russians will launch heavy attacks on the areas not covered by a ceasefire and if the Ukraine reacts the Russians will say it was the fault of Kyiv.  The Russian Bear can never be trusted, its paws want the whole of Ukraine.

First Lady, First Diplomat - Update

BBC News: Reports " US First Lady Melania Trump has "successfully secured" a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, the White House has said. "

Let's Get Real:

What is the point of the US State Department?  The First Lady can get a ceasefire but Trump and Rubio have failed, one doubts that Putin will play around when the US First Lady, she seems the only one to frighten Trump, it seems she not that impressed with Putin, and tells POTUS that when he comes home from Oval Office.  The details of this ceasefire is important, when it starts and also when does it finish.  If it can hold, on doubts that by the way, the First Lady should try her hand at the bigger picture, getting a ceasefire for the WHOLE of the Ukraine.

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.
