Trump, Iran and the Mid Terms - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 5.40 am post  the following, " Trump acknowledges Iran war played a role in midterms "

Let's Get Real:

This time the polls were right, even Trump acknowledges that the Democrats won last night. It shows that even Trump can show some Presidential grace sometimes! The point of this post, it seems that the US will hit Iran hard, the Trump Adminstration has shown mixed messages when it comes to Iran, VP Vance the dove and more tough approach at the moment from Trump.   The US Navy is ready to attack Iran, they wait the command from Trump, he is lame duck on the domestic side but has more freedom in foreign affairs, so as to this post, he is getting ready to strike!

Russia Attacks Energy sites in the Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.50am post the following, " Russia launches 'massive strike' on Ukraine's energy infrastructure "

Let's Get Real:

This is typical the Russians and of Putin, Moscow wants to freeze the Ukraine in to submission, thus every year an attack on the Ukrainian energy facilities in the on coming Winter, Putin does not care about the people of the Ukraine or his own soldiers, never mind the troops from North Korea.  The coalition of the willing has to stand firm, the US under Trump cannot be trusted.   One hopes the Democratic control of the US Congress will shame Trump to do the right thing, support the Ukraine! .

Limited US strikes in the Strait of Hormuz- Updare

BBC News: Reports the following, " The US has launched strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, US officials have told CBS, the BBC's US partner. "

Let's Get Real:

Why a limited strike today, why not tomorrow after the Mid Terms, there has been speculation and reports that the US and Israel are going for another massive strike, so far we have seen a weak President react, big promises before Trump cancel plans for a major strikes and the stressing the talks, the Oval does not get the fact that Iran will never give up its nuclear stockpile to the US.   Thus faces two options, talks and appeasent or take decisive military action against Iran the theocracy Regime.

Nuclear Alert in the Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.36am post the following, " Ukrainians received fake alert warning of nuclear and chemical threats after 'hack' "

Let's Get Real:

This is the Russians playing games, they want to make the people of Ukraine fearful that Russia had gone nuclear after not winning with Drones and Ballistic missile attacks and a ground invasion of East Ukraine.  Putin must have considered it, one likes to think common sense had taken over or threats from the Biden and Trump Administrations had paused the hand of the Kremlin.  It is reported that the Trump Administration has agreed to give 500 Patriot missiles to the Ukraine over the long term.  One hopes if the Democrats take the US Congress that they fund the Kyiv Government and get the Trump Oval to be more supportive.   It has been reported that Russia will move on a NATO Country  in the new year, time for the US and Western Europe to have their eyes and ears open and be on ALERT.

The last hours of the Mid Terms in the US - Update

BBC News: Reports the following in its 11.25am post, " Democrat endorses Republican in key Michigan Senate race "

Let's Get Real:

These are the final hours of the US Mid Terms, if you believe the polls it should be a Democrat wave, taking the US House and Senate, every US President faces this happening, Reagan lost the Senate in 1986, Clinton in 94 and Republicans taking over the House, Obama lost the House in 2010 due to ObamaCare.  These are considered good to great Presidents.  The more interesting question is how will Trump take this development, one hopes with grace or will he accused the Democrats of cheating, also interesting who will be running for President in 2028, the candidates should be turning up in NH and Iowa, for the Republican Party and North Caroline for the Democrats.  The 2028 cycle starts on Wednesday!

Deadliest month for Russia - Update

Sky  News: Reports in its 10.56am post the following,  " Russian forces suffered 54,400 casualties in October, the most in any single month since the 2022 invasion, Ukraine's military says. "

Let's Get Real:

The Russian soldiers are paying the price for the hubris of President Putin, the Russian Leader does not care about the lives lost in the Ukraine, his own soldiers or those serving in the Ukraine Army! The Russian Leader has warped view of history, in fact he would not get 3rd in any UK University, he is a neo Russian Imperialist, he sees the dissolution of the USSR as the greatest tragedy in history.  On the other hand he blames Lenin and the Soviet Regime for Russias defeat in WW1 and Revolution.  The Russian President sees Stalin as a great leader, not as he really was, a mass murder.   The WAR in the Ukraine will only end when Putin is overthrown by a Palace Coup, at some point the Russians must see Putin as he is really, a WAR CRIMINAL.  YOUNG Russians are paying for Putin's folly.

The King, the PM and Slavery - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " King Charles III is to speak with "unflinching honesty" and "sincere sorrow" on the lasting pain of the transatlantic slave trade, during the final leg of his Caribbean tour in Antigua, Buckingham Palace has said. "

Let's Get Real:

The boy wonder our new PM Burnham wants to be liked to much, his great coverage as Mayor of Manchester has gone his head, the Lefties in the Guardian and the BBC want a full apology and reparations, the British public are not on the same page, slavery was hundred of years ago! The UK covered the any debt that it owed by standing up to Nazi Germany in 1940, does any think that if Nazi Germany had won what Hitler would have done to the Commonwealth Countries! It is beyond imagination.  The PM should 📚 some history, so he is a Cambridge English Graduate, so one assumes he can read, reading and understanding are two different things, should the UK ask for repartions from the old enemy 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 for their WARS of aggression in the 19th and 20th Centuries.  The boy wonders need to be liked will be his downfall.
