Ukraine ATTACKS St Petersburg - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Russian authorities say Ukraine has launched an "unprecedented attack" on and around St Petersburg, "

Let's Get Real:

Russia is on the backfoot, people in St Petersburg have been told to stay indoors while the Ukrainian attack goes on, regions in the Donbas under Russian control have also affected.  The article points out that people in the region have been told not to use public coaches.  The question is when will the people rebel, and get rid of Putin and his rich friends.

US takes down Iranian drones and Radar sites - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " CENTCOM says US forces shot down 4 Iranian attack drones near Strait of Hormuz: 'Immediate threat'.....CENTCOM said U.S. forces later struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island “to defend against further attacks.” "

Let's Get Real:

What ceasefire, these low level attacks is WAR by another name.  That being self defence.  The Trump Oval has a duty of care to the US Navy in the Middle East, Trump if he was not chicken should restart the WAR with Iran.  They have made it clear that the WAR will not stop as long as Israel is in Lebanon.  There is only so far that Trump can stop Israel.  Thus time to finish off the Tehran Regime, while it's weak, even if that means GROUND TROOPS in the end.

Putin on Zelensky Meeting - Update

Let's Get Real:

This shows that President Putin has interest in finishing the Ukraine War.  The Ukraine Army is gaining in the Donbas, the Russian economy is on the back foot and there are reports that Putin is not getting accurate reports from the front.  One has to ask if Putin is losing it, he has been in power for a long time. There have been reports about his health of late.

Iran 's condition for ENDING the US War - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Iran war ‘will end only when it ends in Lebanon as well,’ foreign minister says "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime is playing Trump, they can see the War is not popular with the American people and the Democrats are playing games with the War Powers Act, Trump wants out but cannot control Israel, conditional blank cheques are still blank, in less enforce your will, Reagan did when Israel was bombing Beirut in the 1980s.  Trump can not afford to lose the Israeli lobby is the US before the Mid Terms. DEADLOCK in the Middle East.

US could take Iranian nuclear stockpile any time - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.09am post the following, " Trump warns US doesn't need a deal with Iran to get enriched uranium "

Let's Get Real:

Another delusional statement by POTUS, that the US could take Iran's nuclear stockpile anytime, as there is no need for a deal, as the stockpile is entombed after the US bombing.  This could be a way for Trump to end the War before the November Mid Terms, the TACO President is delusional and erratic. One can't wait for the 2028 cycle to start, even then Trump will want to be in the news.

Daily Mail: Reports that the Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham on BBC's Question Time has admitted that if he wins the Makerfield by - election he will run to replace Sir Keir Starmer as PM and Labour leader.

Let's Get Real:

This was not even a secret, the sole purpose for Andy Burnham running in Makerfield is to be the next PM.  Thus if Andy Burnham does win he will be challenged by Wes Streeting, also there is the possibility that Angela Rayner, the former Deputy PM could run, she has cleared her tax problem.  One doubts Sir Keir Starmer will run, no matter what he says now, Polls of Labour members show that Andy would beat Sir Keir and Wes.  If this blog was advising Sir Keir it would be to announce his resignation after the Makerfield by election if Burnham wins, and give the in till the Labour Conference for the candidates to have a good run, then announce the result at the conference.
