Trump has a final vote on the Iranian succession as Supreme Leader- Trump

Sky News: Reports in its 4.25pm post the following, " Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader  " 

Let's Get Real:

The powers of the Presidency has gone to Trump's head, he thinks he can follow the example of Venezuela, someone needs to talk to him and fast, this will not go down well in Iran, the students have been taught about the 1953 CIA/MI6 inspired Coup that replaced left winger PM with the Monarchy, the Iranian people are a proud people, the theocracy will use these  remarks against Trump.  

The House to Vote on War Powers Act - Update

Guardian:  Reports in its 12.13pm post the following " House to vote on war powers resolution after Senate measure fails  "

Let's Get Real:

It will be interesting to see this vote, the House in nominally Republican, but some are very American First, thus can be expected to support invoking the War Powers Act (1973), the Senate has said no, so it's academic, also Trump can VETO any resolution, the Congress does not have the two thirds to override a Presidential VETO.  It will be interesting to see the mode of the House and the American people.

Iran attacks Kurds in Iraq - Update

BBC News: Reports  that Iran has started to attack Kurds in Iraq.

Let's Get Real:

The Kurds will want firm promises from the Trump Oval, as the article notes the Kurds do not match the theocracy when it comes to Militarty Kit, thus they will want the air to be dominated by the US, and cover for ground operations.  They answered the call from Bush 41 to rebels against the Iraqi Regime, in the first Gulf War, but got no support, they do not want that again.  This War could take a long time.

Kurds on the move in Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Thousands of soldiers have taken position in Iran as part of a military offensive, according to Jennifer Griffin, Chief National Security Correspondent of Fox News, after being secretly armed by the US.  "

Let's Get Real:

This could be the breaking news tomorrow, with the US and Israel pushing deep in Iran, they could bomb ANY resistance to the Kurds.  The US and Israel cannot win a war with just bombing, it has to take out security structures in Iran, to allow the people to protest. Air and Ground attack by the Kurds could mean the end of the Islamic Republic, that is the hope!

War Powers Act Vote - Update

Fox News: Reports " Operation Epic Fury survives Senate challenge as Republicans close ranks behind Trump " 

Let's Get Real:

The Senate voted 53 - 47  invoking the War Powers Act, it now goes to the House, it  be interesting to see  HOW moderate Democrats vote, it does not matter if the House passes the War Powers Act, as the US Senate has spoken, President Trump could VETO any future resolution as you would need two thirds of the Congress to override a Presidential VETO, the Dems do not have the votes from Republicans.

White House does not rule out Troops on the Ground - Update

Guardian  Reports " White House doesn't rule out possibility of US boots on the ground in Iran "

Let's Get Real:

This is the last option for Trump, he made his political career on being opposed to forever wars in the Middle East.  The left would love US troops on the ground, then they would run clips of Trump being critical of Iraq and  tAfghanistan deployment, BUT no war is the same, Iran could be different and is a State, the left should be careful for what they wish for, Trump could WIN in Iran.

Phone Call that decided War - Update

Sky News:  Reports in its 2.55pm post the following, " One phone call from Netanyahu convinced Trump to strike Iran  " 

Let's Get Real:

This proves the Mossad is good, they knew that the Supreme Leader was meeting with his important staff, the CIA confirmed this, thus the start of the WAR.  It had been speculated that the CIA knew first, they are good, but as good as Mossad?  It's their back yard, they will make a movie of this later.
