Duchess of Sussex in Netflix Deal - Update
Aircraft Carrier to be named after Trump - Update
Guardian: Reports in its 1.29pm post the following, " Navy considers naming carrier for Trump instead of Black war hero as planned - report "
Let's Get Real:
This is either coming from the White House or Trump officials in the Defence Department are wanting to get bonus points with Trump. This is a bad idea, the Democrats have jumped to attack Trump and the Republicans will have to defend it before the Mid Terms in November. The original name was to honour an African - American Naval hero of Pearl Harbour 1941. The honour is well deseved, Trump should rule it out, he is trying to change Washington D.C to honour him, Trump is delusional and needs someone to show him reality.

Duke and Duchess of Sussex move back to the UK - Update
BBC News: Reports " The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to move back to the UK, BBC News understands. "
Let's Get Real:
Why NOW, has US fan base for the Sussex brand gone down, the American people like Royals to be Royal and not semi detached as the Duke and Duchess have been, have the kids started to have American accents. That would be bad enough or is the Duke worried about the King's health and his cancer treatment. The Duke and Duchess should go back to Royal duties, the press would soon get bored of them they did traditional Royal visits in the rain. It would make the Royal couple popular again, and the Duke can wear his military uniforms for Royal events. The problem might be the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke burned his bridges with couple after the publication of his memoirs SPARE, the King got away lightly, everyone else got burned from the Queen, the Duke called his brother his arch nemesis, even the Princess of Wales was scolded. The King might have to put his foot down with Prince William, at least show for the public some type reconciliation between the brothers.

Putin ADMITS Ukrainian strikes have damaged the Russian Economy - Update
Sky News: Reports in its 1.55pm post the following, " Vladimir Putin has admitted Ukraine's drone campaign against its oil refineries and infrastructure is affecting the economy. "
Let's Get Real:
The Ukrainian military strategy is working, the deep drone strikes is starting to have an effect on the Russian economy, inflation is going up and as reported people are taking billions of Russian roubles from their banks under the fear that the Putin Regime will use it to support the War in the Ukraine, thus whatever domestic problems Zelensky is in this should not change the strategy of the war. At least the Ukrainian people can protest, in Russia you end up in jail or dead.

Russians taking billions from banks - Update
Sky News: Reports in its 1.46pm post the following, " Russians 'withdraw billions' from banks over fears Kremlin could seize deposits to fund war "
Let's Get Real:
Are the Russian people smelling the coffee of defeat, they could be thinking as the post suggests that the Russian Government under Putin might take their savings to pay for his WAR in the Ukraine. It can also be postulated that the Russian people fear that Putin could fall because he falls ill or there is a couple in Moscow. The Russissns can only take do much deaths in the front line and economic mess due to the WAR.
Burnham states 100% support for the Ukraine - Update
BBC News: Reports " UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said London will continue "to support Ukraine 100%", after Moscow warned of "consequences" following confirmation that British-made drones were used in recent Ukrainian strikes in Russia. "
Let's Get Real:
The new UK PM is following the past policy of previous UK Prime Ministers as the article states. Even the Cambridge English Graduate can see the threat from Putin's Russia and the threat of appeasing Putin. The Russians have made threats to the UK due to the UK helping the Ukraine, UK should worry about cyber threats and even drone strikes, the major worry should be Russian action in the Baltic States or Poland. This is coming, and the UK population is not ready, no government has woke them up to the threat. An East Wind is coming as Sherlock Holmes to Dr Watson during WW2, its out turn now.
