Security Guarantees discussed in US, Russian and Ukraine talks - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.20pm post the following, " Security guarantees discussed 'in detail' at Abu Dhabi talks "

Let's Get Real:

President Zelensky has stated that the talks were constructed and quite positive as the article notes, but one has to see the World through the eyes of President Putin, he has lost hundred of thousand men killed and over a million wounded, and the War is hurting the Russian economy, there is only so much Russia can take.  PUTIN wants the Donbas and wants the world to accept that he has taken the Crimea and the Donbas in East Ukraine.  Also Putin does not want NATO Troops in the Ukraine and line he cannot cross thus starting WW3, that is why he against the idea.  TRUMP cannot be trusted, he is appeaser of the first order, he makes Neville Chamberlain look strong.  Thus the coalition of the willing must be worried about NATO and its collective security of Wester Europe, uneasy times ahead.

Ukraine, Russia in talks with the US - Update

 BBC News: Reports the following, " Trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US aimed at ending the war in Ukraine have begun in Abu Dhabi.  "

Let's Get Real:

The article states that the Ukraine and Russia have shown some flexibility in their demands.  This blog won't hold its breath, the Kyiv Government wants the Donbas back and Western Forces in any security guarantees, while the Russians want to have the entire Donbas even land they don't controll and no Western Security Guarantees to be enforced by NATO forces.  The BBC has just reported, that neither Kyiv or Moscow want to make concessions.  It all could be in Trump's mind.

Trump on Iran - Update

 Sky News: Reports the following, " There is "positive momentum" towards an end to the Iran war, Donald Trump has said. "

Let's Get Real:

Trump has no bottle to take on Iran before it gets a nuke.  The iceberg of the Mid Terms has knocked the chance of finishing the Theocracy in Tehran.  ONE can postulate that the next President will have to deal with a nuclear armed Iran.  The Tehran Regime has been very clever, it used the Strait of Hormuz against the American people, Trump's Republican Congress could not sell the War vs. the cost of gas, the next President will have to sell the War, it is coming as day follows night, Trump is a weak lame duck President.

Trump now doubts Mid Term Election Results - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " US President Donald Trump has questioned the legitimacy of the midterm election results in which Republicans suffered sweeping losses, days after saying he would accept the outcome. "

Let's Get Real:

This is the Trump we know well, doubting the results of an election that went against him, its the 2020 debate all over again.  On election night he took the losses with some grace that surprised Trump watchers, the above is what we were expecting.  This Trump being Trump, never a loser and more clever than anyone else!  The reverse being true.

Ukraine's new shape - Trump - Update

 Daily Mail: Reports the following, " Trump says Ukraine will have a 'different shape' after the war and says 'Russia was treated very disrespectfully' ahead of proposed meeting with Putin and Xi "

Lets Get Real:

This is Trump trying to sell out the Ukraine again, he wants a big 3 meeting with Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China and he wants another Yalta, were FDR and Sir Winston Churchill agreed to Eastern Europe being a Soviet area of interest.   The President again came to the defence of Russia stating it has been disrespected by the West.   The Ukraine and the Coalition of the Willing has to say no to Trump, if the voters in the US can then the leaders of Western Europe can tell the US President to get lost.  It is about time that Europe lead, the coalition of the willing must place troops in the Ukraine, to defend the Ukraine from the Russians and to show the US that Europe can take of its own defence without the US.  Our PM and Europe cannot be another appeasement cycle, PUTIN must be stopped before it to late.

Former President Biden to make limited appearances for Memoirs - Update

CNN: Reports the following, " Former President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he “won’t be apble to do as many conversations” about his upcoming presidential memoir due to his fight with prostate cancer. "

Let's Get Real:

It Former Joe Biden wrote his own memoirs is up for debate, he had a ghost writer for his last memoirs as a Special Prosecutor found by listening to his taped talks with his chosen ghost writer.  A good ghostwriter can make the book come alive as the Duke of Susssex found, his book sold out around the World.  It will be interesting to see he blames for the Afghanistan debacle, the perception  that the US economy was poor, his views on Putin and the Ukrainian War and finally his decision  to run for a 2nd debate and awful debate with Trump and who in the Democratic Party forced him out, let's hope he is honest with the people about his ill health during his Presidency.

Immigration stand will stay the same - White House

BBC News: Reports the following, " US President Donald Trump's administration has vowed not to change course on its mass deportation plans after last week's midterm elections defeat. "

Let's Get Real:

This is the Donald Trump we know, he has come out fighting, on immigration, as the article notes it was a top issue for voters in the Mid Terms.  The appointment of the Immigration Tsar, Stephen Miller as the new Chief of Staff in the White House shows that POTUS had not listened to the concern of voters, and is listening to his own head.  Trump is a lame duck President, he has freedom of action in foreign policy, but he does not have the bottle to take action as shown by lack of action over Iran.  Thus we enter the 2028 cycle now.
