25 Years since 9/11 - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.30pm post " Watch: George Bush recalls being told news of 9/11 attack during school visit

Let's Get Real:

This blogger saw the 2nd plane hit the Tower on TV, at thought it was a film at first, then as the day developed saw the Towers falling and people running for their lives.  Thus as a consequence of that attack we saw the Afghanistan War, the the Iraq War, Allied lives lost due to the War of Terror, to add to the near three thousand lost on 9/11.  Also added should be the innocent people killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.  For many 9/11 was the real start of the 21st Century, we will never forget that day.

Russian advance in the Donbas, East Ukraine - Update


Let's Get Real:

The Kyiv Forces are barley hanging on in the Donbas, the Russians have as the article states increased pressure with heavier Drone strikes.  It is reported that Putin has given his military to the end of the year to capture the Donbas.  The Kyiv forces have to hold on to the remaining part of the Donbas that they control.  Western Europe needs to do more, the US is out, to prevent more Russian gains and prevent WW3, Europe needs to support Kyiv.

Deep Strikes in to Russia - Ukraine

Sky News: Reports in its 8.30pm post the following, " Ukrainian special forces launch 'deepest strike of war' approximately 1,850 miles into Russia "

Let's Get Real:

No place in Russia should be safe from Ukrainian drones, the Kyiv targets assets that are help the Russisn military from oil facilities to the Russian version of Amazon, the Russian people are starting to feel the pain, fights in petrol stations, and long ques for petrol, the Russian military hit civilian assets, Tower blocks, hospitals, they do care about human life.  Western Europe needs to support the Ukraine even if the US does not at present, you never know with Trump.

Trump might need to bomb suspected Iranian nuclear site - Update

CNN: Reports " Surge in construction’ at suspected Iranian nuclear site, analysts say, as US considers ways to strike deep underground "

Let's Get Real:

Of course Iran has another nuclear site, one doubts that the first bombing did the trick.   The US Airforce will have to attack again with even bigger non nuclear bombs! It might take Ground Troops in the end, Trump is always stating Iran can't have a nuke, this time he will have to keep to his word.  A nuclear Iran is a threat to the region and the World.

Duke and Duchess of Sussex want to be seen as public figures - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Harry and Meghan yesterday hit out at the King's decision to label them 'private citizens' – because they want to be known as 'public figures' instead. "

Let's Get Real:

It can be postulated that the Duke and Duchess are wanting a new deal from the King, they want to be seen as public figures and non serving members of the Royal Family.  The late Queen ruled that out, the Duke and Duchess want a NEW DEAL, they also want security from the government.  The King has to be firm with his younger son, there is IN or OUT, he made his bed and has to live with the consequences.

US hits Iranian tankers near Kharg Island - Update

CNN: Reports " Tehran threatens vessels in Bahrain, Kuwait after US strikes Iranian tankers near Kharg Island "

Let's Get Real:

This is pointless by the US Navy, as the article notes this is in response to an Iranian attempt to shoot at a US Navy vessel.  These strikes do not win the War and help Trump in political terms before the Mid Terms in November! It has been postulated that Iran will increase these attacks before November, they hope to hit a US Navy ship, they want to pull a Tet offensive of 1968 but at sea.  Trump has blundered in to the Iran War and won't follow through, it needs ground troops in Kharg Island, otherwise Trump is big loser.

Sussex's cause TROUBLE again - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex says the couple were surprised to see a letter sent on behalf of King Charles clarifying that Prince Harry and Meghan remained non-working royals. "

Let's Get Real:

The Sussex's are hardly back and they causing problems, one can know see why they came back, they want to bounce the the King and Government to give them security, they want the cause fear, that should there be a security incident, and no Royal protection that the King and Government would be to blame, if they wanted privacy they should have stayed in the US or come back in private manner.  The King must be tearing his hair out, the Prince of Wales will be peeved even more.  GOD SAVE THE KING.
