Trump considering LIMITED STRIKE on IRAN - Update

Fox News: Reports that President Trump is considering a limited strike on Iran to get them to the Negation Table.

Let's Get Real:

This is the REAL TRUMP, he wants a limited war and Tehran caving to what he wants, no nukes and access to their oil.   The biggest build up of US military forces is to send a warning to Iran, the problem is everyone has Trump's number, limited WAR with GOOOD TV HEADLINES.   The Oval does not want body bags of US Military Personnel, it does not want to place land forces in Iran, after the perceived and actual failure in AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, Biden's polls never recovered after the failed departing of American from Afghanistan, Trump does not want that before the November Elections.  IF Tehran had a brain cell it would cave, and the Regime would be safe from Trump, that is the question will Tehran cave to US demands.

US Supreme Court strikes down Trump's Tariffs - Update

 

Sky News: Reports in its 3.03pm post that " the court has now struck down the tariffs, meaning the administration could face huge financial consequences. "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS will hit the roof, he has used tariffs as a gun, forcing Countries in to DEALS, and he will have to pay back billions, a lot of billions.  This will hit hard before the Mid Terms in November, the Democrats and the liberal press will stuff this down the Oval's throat.  This could have consequences, Trump will feel this decision by the Court and will try to work around it, this shows that the American system does work, Congress might not keep Trump in line, but the Courts do at the end of the day ACT.  POTUS might need to feel to show that he is still strong, by attacking Iran, before the Democrats take charge o the Congress and use the WAR POWERS ACT of 1973 against him, in that ACT a President can act for six weeks but then requires Congressional approval, a split Congress, the HOUSE in the hands of the Democrats and the Republicans in charge of the Senate, might complex the case for WAR. Events, boy Events can hinder any political leader when he least expects it.   What will Trump do to show he still in control.


Long Military Campaign in Iran Planned -Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Trump is considering 'weeks-long campaign' in Iran that would look 'like full-fledged war' and be 'existential for the regime', with 'dramatic influence on the entire region' "

Let's Get Real:

Events, boy Events, when asked by a Junior Minister asked a great British PM, what could go wrong.  POTUS will be bruised by the US Supreme Court struck down his tariffs, he will want to be seen as strong, and not look weak, thus POTUS might go for a limited strike on Iran, a long war could be costly, he has not sold the idea to the American people, he said that last attack had destroyed Iran's nuclear capacity, also Sir Keir Starmer is playing games with the US over the use of their bases on UK soil, that is a bad move, Trump has thin skin and holds a grudge, we need the US to give security guarantees to the Ukraine, the PM should be careful, he is the British PM not the Director of Prosecutions any more, he cannot be both.  This blog does not expect an attack this weekend, we are still in the 15 day window that Trump has set as a deadline, in less he goes bonkers and attacks to make point, he has to wait for the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier to get to the Middle East, it should be there by the Weekend.  Events, boy Events, turn history.

Trump's Deadline to Iran - 10 Days and Counting Down - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Donald Trump warned the US could bomb Iran if a deal isn't reached in the next 10 days "

Let's Get Real:

This is a way out for TRUMP, his deadlines change many times are women change their clothes - A lot.  Trump is a wimp, but he is costing the American Tax Payer a fortune, he has two aircraft carriers in the Middle East by the Weekend, and other US Ships and Subs who can launch cruise missiles.  It would be interesting to see the COST of this vast deployment, all that Trump can look tough.  CNN has stated that Trump has added 5 days to is deadline.  It has become a truism that Trump Always Chickens OUT, the tax payer has to pick up the bill.   If POTUS does not act, he will be seen as WEAK, on the reverse side that non action will go down well with his base.  The MAGA base are tired of long WARS, they see AFGHANISTAN and IRAQ as a failure, and are tired of the US being the World's policeman, and Trump the showman has not stated why the US has to go WAR, he stated in the past that the US had destroyed Iran's nuclear capacity, was that true or false, if FALSE, the Oval should explain WHY, if he wimps out, no one will be afraid of Trump on the World Stage. What an irony!.

Could Trump strike Iran on the Weekend? - Update

CNN: Reports  US could strike Iran this weekend.

Let's Get Real:

This blog has predicted that POTUS will not strike, he will want to give Iran time to make a deal.  Any deal will be weak, a light version of Obama's deal with Iran, Tehran must know that if they give the impression of submission the Trump Oval will back off.  Trump wants good headlines, and if need be a short war, and then declare victory, Trump is a WIMP, he will not want a long war before the elections in November, thus no strike on Iran.

Update: CNN Reports on the Trump dilemma " He can either enforce his red line — however belatedly — or do something quite politically fraught. " The American people do not want WARS, on that CNN is right, Trump was elected to be a domestic President not the Policeman of the World.   Of course the problem is that he would be following President Obama when it comes to red lines, the infamous red line that Obama set in Syria, when the Assad Regime used chemical weapons on his own people, and President Obama did not ACT, he lost Presidential credibility after that, so what will Trump do, he is a wimp, he will take a 2nd rate deal on Iran's nukes, there are elections in November, he needs to keep the House, if he loses the Congress there will be endless investigations and impeachment and then 2028 cycle will start and Trump will be a lame duck President, and there is nothing he can do about it.

The WIMP and Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.30pm pm the following, " White House says 'diplomacy' is 'always' top option for Trump on Iran .

Let's Get Real:

Trump will wimp out of doing anything, he will take a bad deal over real action.  It has become a truism that Trump always chickens out, he is a natural bully, when someone stands up to him, he backs down.  This blog knows bullies.  JUST look at the case of Greenland and how the Oval back downed when Europe says no, or the ICE missions when the people said NO.   Tehran are beyond bullies, they are murders and EVIL, killing their own people, they know they just have to run clock down with Trump, the November elections are coming, Trump does not want a long WAR.
