The US and its Allies and North Korea - Trump Era

Telegraph: Reports " Theresa May warns Donald Trump against unilateral action on North Korea "

Lets Get Real:

The Western Allies are concerned that a political wounded Trump after the failure of ObamaCare will try to gain his spurs on the international front, when it comes to Foreign Policy there are less Congressional restrictions on a Trump Oval.   The US intelligence Agencies have been worried by North Korea through various US Administrations.   As the article notes a quick strike would not deal a deadly blow to North Korea, as it has hidden its defence assets under ground, also they could attack South Korea, there is a large presence of US troops in the South, thus if attacked this would bring the US more into the action.  Thus the problem of North Korea, no easy answers or results.   One day North Korea will have an ICBM, then what will the US and its allies do about this thorny problem. 

Trump vs. North Korea - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " The Guardian view on Trump and North Korea: the risks are growing "

Lets Get Real:

The left wing Guardian more afraid of Trump than of North Korea, that is typical of the left, when things get hard they place their heads in the sand.   The new Trump Administration has to be tough with North Korea, or get China to be tough on North Korea, otherwise they will have an ICBM in the near future.   The Trump policy should be two fold, the defence of South Korea with a missile shield, also Japan, place even more pressure on China to control its neighbour.   The worry for the left should be if North Korea gets ahead of itself, and starts a small scale war with South Korea or for that matter Japan, the US would need to come to the support of an ally, from Small Wars lead to Big Wars, thus China needs to control North Korea. 

Rice means President Obama Knew - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Susan Rice requested to unmask names of Trump transition officials, sources say "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has been curious why Former President Obama has been VERY quiet about the subject, thus we know now, if Susan Rice knew then so did POTUS, poor Rice was the constant Administration nominee to take the political arrows for President Obama.  Of course the Republicans should have Rice appear before the House intelligence and Senate intelligence Committee and should be asked did President Obama order Rice to unmask the names of those close to the Trump Campaign.   When it comes to Chicago politics one has to understand, they do not play fair, they play dirty. 

The US Supreme Court - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Trump Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch faces Senate showdown "

Lets Get Real:

What the article fails to say is the fact that is was the Democrats who started to break down the Senate, they revoked the need for a President to get 60 votes for his Judge picks for the lower Court.  Also in 2016 the Democratic VP Nominee suggested that the Democrats should use the nuclear option if HRC won the Presidency and wanted a liberal Judge on the Court.   The issue of the Court has become a base issue, the Democrats Senators are afraid if the do not block the Trump Nominee the base will come after them at the next election.   President Trump should get the Republicans to change the rules, any nominee by him would get this reaction.
