Trump frustrated about Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 12.14pm post " Trump reportedly frustrated as he waits on envoys’ judgment over Iran strikes  "

Let's Get Real:

The deadline is THURSDAY, the Americans will meet with Iran in Geneva.  That should decide the outcome, this blog still thinks Trump is WIMP and will chicken out, he does not like long wars, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, he was critical of Iraq at the time.  The Oval will try to weasel out of action, he might accept a 2nd hand deal from Iran or Tehran will cave, if it had a brain cell it would.  It will interesting to see the State of the Union tonight ( Wednesday morning here in the UK ) will POTUS mention Iran in the speech, give them another ultimatum, its 10 days and counting down so far.

Russia has not achieved its goals in the Ukraine - Updare

It's four years since Russia invaded the Ukraine.

BBC News; Reports in its 10.55am post that Russia has stated it has not achieved its goals in the Ukraine.

Let's Get Real:

The WAR was expected to be short, destroyed Russian tanks had dress uniforms for the the tank soldiers who expected to get to Kyiv within a week! The Ukraine fought back, thus fours years of Trench Warfare, Europe has not seen it since WW1.  The Biden Administration and Europe supported the Ukraine, of 2025 Trump Administration has been a hindrance, demanding that NATO countries pay for the military kit and not signing security guarantees, thus the frozen front line in the front line.  The War goes on.

Dark Prince, Lord Peter Mandelson arrested - Update

BBC News: Reports " Peter Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office "

Let's Get Real:

This is a shock, this blog thought the Mandelson  case had gone quiet.  It was just a matter of time, it is reported that former PM, Gordon Brown is furious with Mandelson, he made the Dark Prince his Deputy after all, did the security services check him out at the time.  Have noticed Tony Blair has been very quiet about Mandelson, he was his friend, bought him back to government after he was forced to resign.  ONE does question the judgement of Blair, Brown and Starmer, the present PM.  The cases of Mounbatten- Windsor( Australia has agreed to drop Andrew from the line of succession to the Crown ) and Mandelson will take a long time, both arrested on the same charge.

Update: Lord Mandelson was released last night on bail.  There were no remarks from the disgraced Peer.  This is a surprise, New Labour was all about spin! 


US Targets in Iran

CNN: Reports  " Trump’s riskiest move: What led Iran to this moment — and what happens next  "

Let's Get Real:

There are talks on Thursday in Geneva as reported by Sky News, neither side want to compromise, Trump wants Iran's nuclear material, limits on its Ballistic Missiles, and freedom for those in Iran to protest.   The Tehran Regime only wants to talk about its nuclear material and keeping it in Iran, only short term limits for its nuclear programme and the end of sanctions.   The Oval needs more than that, it has moved two aircraft carriers in to the region, and other ships and subs, the greatest naval armada since the WAR in Iraq.  The Oval cannot WIMP out if it wants to keep Presidential credibility, look at what happened to LBJ over Vietnam and Obama with Syria, once lost credibility  is hard to get back.  Tehran is afraid to look weak to its oppressed people and to neighbours in the Area.  Thus clock is counting down to Trump's deadline.

Iran a week away from the bomb - Update

 Fox News: Reports "Witkoff warns Iran is ‘a week away’ from 'bomb-making material' as Trump weighs action......Steve Witkoff says Iran has violated Trump's 'zero enrichment' red line with uranium enriched up to 60%  "

Let's Get Real:

If the above is TRUE, one assumes the information came from Mossad's Israel, they have their spies and tech people to keep themselves and US informed at the latest state of play when it comes to Iran. Thus the US bombing last year had not the desired outcome, Tehran still has its nuclear stockpile, it has to be destroyed by either the US or Israel.  The 15 day countdown has been ticking for a few days, the Tehran Regime must fancy their chances of riding out a US attack, one hopes sanity will return to Tehran, they need to cave, they should not play Trump, either he wimps out, or goes 100% and removes the Regime! 

Iran willing to dilute its nuclear stockpile - Update

Guardian:  Reports " Iran willing to dilute uranium stockpile as fresh protests erupt  "

Let's Get Real:

This is a WEAK offer by Iran, you don't send two aircraft carriers to the Middle East to be bought off so easily, what will Trump DO? WIMP out or take firm action, he has not sold a WAR to the American people, he said last year that American bombing had destroyed Iran's nuclear stockpile, it seems that is not the case, can he walk that back?  The State of the Union is on Tuesday, what will Trump say about Iran, if anything.  The MAGA base does not want another WAR, what will Trump decided. The clock is counting DOWN.


Students Protest in Iran - Updste

BBC News: Reports that Iranian students have been protesting around Iran.

Let's Get Real:

These are brave students, specially after the Government crackdown in January.   The students are the future of Iran, the Regime is the PAST.   The article also notes that President Trump is frustrated why the Tehran Regime has not caved, that is easy to answer, they would be hung from the nearest yard arm if they gave up power and they know that, the Regime is EVIL. Evil has to be destroyed, a new Iran has to be reborn, let's hope Trump does not wimp out this time, the future is at stake!  Iran cannot be allowed to have Nukes or nuclear material, they could give a dirty bomb to their terrorist Allies.
