Trench warfare in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Russians launch 'human wave' attacks in Ukraine: Putin's troops are cut down in continued WW1-style fighting for the town of Bakhmut......Fighting for the Ukrainian town of Bakhmut has intensified over Christmas after Russian armed forces deployed a fresh wave of troops and armoured vehicles on the front lines amid a barrage of new rocket attacks.   "

Lets Get Real:

The WAR in the Ukraine will only end when the US gets its finger out and sends troops, think 1917 and President Wilson's decision to declare War on Germany for making suggesting that Mexico enter the WAR and as a bonus getting some of the US States in return, well the WAR in the Ukraine is a even bigger threat to the US.  It only takes for the Russians to plant a dirty bomb in the Ukraine or for another stray missile from Russia to hit another NATO Country.  The security of the West is at stake, if it's going to happen it should happen when the US chooses to act, not being forces to ACT by events.   President Roosevelt was lucky after Imperial Japan bombed Pearl Harbour that Hitler declared War on the US, thus a two war front and of course the Allies were going to WIN with the power of the US.   President Biden if he had the courage would have sent US troops in to the Ukraine before the February invasion, the US and the West is being dragged in to a WAR, it did not chose and it will be costly.  One can say that 2023 will see more trench warfare and drone strikes, at some point the WEST, in this case NATO must act, human life is too precious to be left to politics wims of a US leader, there is the MORAL question at the end of the day. 

Constant BOMBING of KHERSON - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports "  Civilians flee Kherson as Russian attacks intensify...  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are doing to the Ukraine what they did to areas under those opposed to the Syrian Government in Syria, it's the same General in command.  The West should have three aims when it comes to the Ukraine, make sure that Russian can never WIN, and to arms the Ukraine Forces with what they need, also to feed and warm the people of the Ukraine, those in the trenches and those stuck in bomb shelters while the Ukraine bombs.  The WINTER WAR is still going, the troops in their trenches are still fighting, while the air war with drones has developed a new kind of warfare.  The Putin Regime knows it has to WIN in the Ukraine or its is finish.  The people of the Ukraine are fighting for their lives and their Country.  There is greater need for the Ukraine forces to win, as it is their country, the Russian conscripts are fighting to preserve the Putin tyranny, if that goes then the Soldiers can come home, the Russians need to LOSE as to get a chance to reclaim the freedoms they lost under Putin, it's that kind of WAR. 

Crisis Point 2 - South Korea and North Korea - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " North Korean drones 'violate airspace' - South Korea scrambles fighter jets and and fires warning shots in response "

Lets Get Real:

The new South Korean Government ran on pledge to be tougher on the North, the drone incursion response was the best defensive reaction, at some point the US and South Korea must deal with North Korea, no not a WAR, they have the ace card of having the bomb and in their own PR, they have an ICBM that can reach the US.  The US can not appear weak, it cannot appease North Korea, the US should get the Chinese Government to place pressure on the North to talk to the US, to give Biden his due he has tried talks but the North has not replied, also the US has to worry about China and Taiwan, either a WAR with North Korea or a WAR over Taiwan could lead to WW3.  The Chinese Government has friendly terms with Putin of Russia, in that EVIL AXIS is North Korea and Iran.  One just hopes they do not act as one, China invading Taiwan, North Korea making threatening moves on the South and Iran declaring to the WORLD that it has the bomb and Russia using a dirty bomb on the Ukraine, one gets the impression that the US thinks that Iran has the bomb already, and is just waiting for the right time to declare it, New Year would gets the World Attention.  2023 could be avery hot YEAR in so many areas. 

Crisis Point 1 - Ukraine Drones hits Russian Base in Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine war: Drone attack on Russian bomber base leaves three dead "

Lets Get Real:

This is BAD PR for the Kremlin, the Ukraine Air Forces is starting to hit Russia prober with Drones, just as the Kremlin is using Iranian Drones to hit the Ukraine.  As the article notes the Russians have used that base as a launch pad for their attacks on the Ukraine.  The WINTER WAR will be one of attrition on the ground, the Ukraine and Russian Forces will be fighting from the trenches, and will have to cope with the snow, mud, water, all the typical hallmarks of World War One is Western Europe.  The Ukraine Government has stated that they expect a Russian attack from the North and that Putin will try for Kyiv in the NEW YEAR.  There has been speculation that Belarus might join the War in the support of Russia, as their leader owes his time in OFFICE to President Putin.  President Biden must keep his nerve, he must not allow another Afghanistan, and the Reagan Republicans in the Republican Party have to support the funding of the Ukraine and its forces.  One does think about the poor people of the Ukraine, in bomb shelters, no power or light, to think this happening in Europe in the 21st Century. 

The First Christmas Message from the King - King Charles III

BBC News: Reports "  King Charles' first Christmas speech reflects cost-of-living crisis "

Lets Get Real:

It was a fine speech by the King, the first male Monarch to give a TV Message, the first Monarch to do a Christmas message via Radio was King George V.  As an indifferent Conservative voter I supported the King's praise for the public sector, if in No 10 might have had a my eyebrow up, as we know we have public sector STRIKES ALL over the place, thanking the public sector can turn to anger if Nurses, train employers and your Postie does not turn up with your Christmas cards or presents might rise the other eyebrow.   One assumes that that the King's speech was cleared or at least shown to the the No 10, as one can expect the Unions to bring it up in the new year with the Conservative Government.  One look forwards to a long reign by King Charles III and a more happy period, one can hope, the Ukraine is never far away from this blog's thoughts, something has to give, either the West is going to appease Putin or there is a Coup against President Putin, a peaceful YEAR ahead does not look likely, thus we have Russia in the Ukraine, North Korea and a expected nuclear test and Iran on the edge of getting the bomb. HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS FOR NEXT YEAR!

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year - Culture

Happy Christmas

Happy New Year

The Russian view of their WAR on the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.04pm post the following,  " 

Sergei Shoigu: Moscow wants to expand military as 'special operation' to continue in 2023....

Russia's defence minister has said the country's military must be expanded as he admitted "difficulties" during Moscow's partial mobilisation.....The defence minister also proposed raising the age range for mandatory Russian military service to cover Russian citizens aged 21-30.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that the Kremlin has learned from its recent call up of men to serve in the Ukraine, they are moving the goal post as to avoid having students do another run for the border, they have learned the lessons of the Vietnam War, one can speculate that the Kremlin thinks that older men will not do a runner as they will have left education.  This could be a costly mistake, in extending the age to be called up it could lead to protest from men who thought that they had escaped the draft, the first time around.  Sooner later the real death toll will come out in Russia, its makes the Afghanistan invasion of 1979 look like happy hour.  The amounts very, but it can be speculated it is in the tens of thousands.  Putin's Kremlin does not care about the number killed, it knows its head is on the chopping block, it is either wins in the Ukraine or Putin could find himself in the House of Special Purpose, it held the Imperial Family before their execution.  Thus expect the death toll to go up after the WINTER, EVIL has to be stopped, the Russian people cannot escape guilty for the War, the EVIL BEAR needs to be jailed and his claws removed.  

President Zelensky of the Ukraine arrives in the US - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports on remarks by the US Secretary of State on the arrival of President Zelensky to the US, in its 5.35pm post, " Blinken welcomes Zelensky with $1.85bn military aid package....US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has released a statement welcoming the Ukrainian president - and outlining new military aid...Blinken confirms the US will provide Ukraine with the advanced Patriot air defence system to help Kyiv counter Moscow's missile attacks.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine President will be wanting carry on the relationship with the Biden Oval but also make an impression on the in coming Republican majority in the House.  It is clear that Trump supporters in the Republican Majority want to scale back the money and military kit that the US gives to the Ukraine.  Thus the Ukrainian President will have to bring his top game to his meetings with Biden and to the speech before the US Congress.  There are still Reagan Republicans and moderates, who have not fallen in line with Trump, also by recent polls is a busted flush, a LOSER BIG TIME.  The US and the Ukraine Presidents meeting will upstage Putin, the Kremlin is still going on with its WAR in the Ukraine and blaming the West, there hardly seems any real opposition to Putin in Russia, not many stories of people going out in the street to protest the WAR on the Ukraine, it only happened at the start of the War and when Putin called up men to fight in the Ukraine.  It seems it will take a Court Coup to get rid of Putin, his very rich friends have seen what happens to those that oppose Putin, either they end up DEAD by falling through windows or they find that their assets and taken away from them, or they end up in jail.  The all cannot be fleckless cowards!

Obama's nuclear DEAL with IRAN is DEAD - Biden

Daily Mail: Reports " Video: Leaked footage captures Biden ADMITTING that Obama's Iran nuclear deal is 'dead' but say his administration is 'NOT gonna announce it': Warns Tehran 'WILL have a nuclear weapon'  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a leaked from a event taking place in November, interesting that it should be released when Iran is pushing for an agreement, it seems that the Tehran Government wants to divert attention from its economy being in the toilet and the mass protests that Iran has faced.  The theocracy in Iran will have to face the FACT that most of its people were born after the Revolution in 1979 and they are fed up with the years of sanctions and the Tehran Regime making Iran the No 1 rogue nation on earth, in that basket is North Korea and as of February Russia.  An agreement can never come from the Biden Oval, since Iran is backing Russia in the Ukraine with killer drones, and the Biden Oval is not going to LIFT sanctions that allow Iran to gain billions in dollars.  Also President Biden is on a roll, with the Democrats just losing the House in the US Mid Terms and keeping the Senate, and his agenda on the whole being passed within limits.   Biden will have been burned by the mess that was Afghanistan, one can bet that the in coming Republican House will make sure that the events leading the US to leave Afghanistan will be front and center in 2023, being nice to Tehran is never a vote getter, for a President running in 2024.  It is reported that the First Lady, Mrs Biden is now for HER husband to run, the Democrats should pray that the Republican nominee is Former President Trump, then Biden will win, if it is not Trump, then Biden is in BIG TROUBLE, he WILL LOSE.

The Russian - Iran THREAT to WORLD SECURITY - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.20pm post the following, " Russia intends to give Iran advanced military components in exchange for hundreds of drones, British defence minister Ben Wallace said on Tuesday.....(Wallace stated) " “In return for having supplied more than 300 kamikaze drones, Russia now intends to provide Iran with advanced military components, undermining both Middle East and international security.”  "

Lets Get Real:

The growing defence relationship between Russia and Iran is a threat to European Security through their building of drones for the Russians and what the Russians give to the Tehran Regime.  As stated by this blog, it's a new Axis of Evil, and one that could be very dangerous in 2023.  One does hope that the CIA has agents in the structure of the Iranian nuclear build up and can inform the WEST should and when Iran gets the BOMB.  There is no WAY that there can be a DEAL with Iran over its nuclear structure, one can postulate that IRAN has the bomb already or will have, its up to the US and Israel if takes action, a major threat would be IF Iran gets the bomb and the West does not find out in till it's threatened use by IRAN in the Middle East or in Europe.   As noted by this blog and many others, the WAR in the UKRAINE is not going well, and Putin knows that the tick is ticking, he has to do something drastic to WIN, thus a the threat of a DIRTY BOMB or the actual use of tactical nuclear weapon in the Ukraine, the Russian people do not like LOSERS, and his rich friends will be annoyed that their assets have been frozen, Putin can have only so many of his " Friends " having accidents when it comes to open windows.  At the end of the day the Russian people have to get off their backsides and march against Putin, as they did in 1917 and 1991.

The Democratic Charges against former President Trump - Democratic House - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports  " January 6 committee recommends criminal charges against Donald Trump...Former president Trump's behaviour during the January 6 US Capitol riots has been branded an "utter moral failure and a clear dereliction of duty" by an investigating committee, who say he is "unfit for any office".  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the worse thing the Democrats could have done, the new House Republicans majority will be looking for ways to rubbish the Committee, it had only had Republicans who hate Trump anyway, and its reports will be seen as Partisan by many US voters.  The Democratic House Committee it can be argued has done a good job of showing what President Trump did after the 2020 Election and on January 6th, by adding charges the outgoing Democratic House has lost the plot.  The House Committee is not the US Senate Committee of Senator Ervin that looked into WATERGATE that had Republicans, who's Republicans LOST after a through investigation.  The Biden Democratic Department of Justice, does not need referrals from the US House, in fact it causes problems, if the DOJ does bring charges it will be open to charges that it was forced on it by the Democrats and the Court cases could take years, and God forbid Trump could be President again.  The Democrats have shot themselves in the foot, a bad day for DEMOCRACY, at the end of it all POTUS might have to PARDON Trump as President Ford did for Nixon, that is the way of political reality, in less he wants Court Cases going on through 2024.  

THE Belarus Question ? - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine to boost Belarus border defences as Putin meets Lukashenko....Ukraine is tightening up the defence of its border with Belarus over fears that Russia may be preparing a fresh attack, a government official has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

This could be President Putin trying to distract from his failed WAR in the Ukraine, on the other hand as the article noted, Putin went to the Belarus, it could be Putin trying to force an ally of his to send his troops North down to Kyiv, one does hope that the President of Belarus does not allow himself to be pushed to invade the Ukraine, it could cause opposition at home, Lukashenko is a dictator and is not that popular with his people.  Also Putin wants to force the Ukraine Government to divert its small forces from the direct fight with the Russian Forces to the protection of the North.  It should be noted that Putin has millions of men, he does not care about the death total at end of the day, as long as he wins.  Failure is not an option for Putin, there are rumours that he is very ill, or that his Court is turning on him and he does not want to be overthrown.  It is going to be a LONG WINTER in the Ukraine and the West.

Another Offensive against Kyiv - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports "  Ukraine war: Putin meets generals as reports of offensive grow.....Russian President Vladimir Putin has met with his military chiefs, amid reports that he is seeking to launch a new wave of attacks in Ukraine.  "

Lets Get Real:

According to reports the new Russian offensive against Kyiv could come between January and March of next year, as the article notes the US does not see that kind of readiness on the ground, one should never write off the Russian Bear, they can throw hundred of thousands of men in to the attack, Putin does not care about of men killed as long as he has a victory in the Ukraine.  If Putin losses the Ukraine then he is finished, thus the US and its Western Allies need to arm the Ukrainian Force up to the hilt, they need air defence, ground defence, a hell lot of ammo, and Western Drones to attack the first assault should Russia try another War from the North, to take Kyiv and to place a new leadership in there.  President Biden cannot afford to have another Afghanistan on his hands, if the Ukraine goes down, thus goes the Biden Oval.  The Cold of the WINTER will stall the forces from the Ukraine and Russia, this will be short delay, a good time for the West to arm the Ukraine Force and allow them to attack first when the weather changes. 

Prince of Wales vs the Duke of Sussex - The Royal Soap Opera

The King really needs to strip the Sussex's of ALL their TITLES -

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 1pm post, " Prince Harry described how "it was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me" during a family summit at Sandringham in 2020, when the Royal Family discussed his plan with Meghan to step down as senior royals....Harry also described an occasion when he was blocked from seeing the Queen - saying this showed "when a family and a family business are in direct conflict"

Lets Get Real:

Enough is ENOUGH, the King need to put a stop this ROYAL SOAP OPERA, the Duke of Sussex makes the Duke of Windsor look like part of the ESTABLISHMENT.  That comment should tell you enough on how this blog views the action by the Duke of Sussex.  If the Sussex Family are show critical of the British Royal Family, well then it's time to cut bait, remove ALL the TITLES, let them be Mr and Mrs Windsor, if that is what they want.  As for the Sussex children if later on they want to be part of the firm, they can get the titles they should have had, but for the actions of their parents.  The latest episode of the Royal Soap Opera is a diversion when the UK needs it attention the public sector strikes, the cost of living crisis, inflation, the people on the whole support the Royal Family, but the Royal Firm needs to deal with the issues of the Sussex once and for all, either they shut up from now on or allow the House of Commons to remove their TITLES. 

Patriot missile defense system being sent to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

CNN: Reports " Exclusive: US finalizing plans to send Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine....Ukraine has been calling for the US to send the advanced long-range air defense system that is highly effective at intercepting ballistic and cruise missiles... "

Lets Get Real:

President Putin in the Kremlin will be fuming over this latest move by the Biden Oval, the Kremlin will argue that it shows that the US is running the show in the Ukraine.  The Kyiv Government will state that it is because of the wave of missile attacks on the Ukraine that the Country needs it, as the people in WINTER are going without POWER or HEAT.  As the trench warfare stalls for boths sides this WINTER, the Ukraine and Russia will carry on the WAR in the air.  Thus we are seeing the age of the drone war, a very modern war in some respects, the question is how long the Russian people will put up with a WAR that they are not winning and how long will Putin stick to his guns when it comes to his demands, that demands that the Ukraine and NATO can never meet.  It is cold in the UK, what must it be like on the ground in the no man's land between Ukraine and Russian Forces. 

George Orwell's 1984, BEST SELLER in Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - End of the PUTIN Era?

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.53pm post the following, " 

Orwell's 1984 tops Russian bestseller lists...

George Orwell's novel 1984, which is set in an imagined future where totalitarian rulers deprive citizens of all agency, has reached the top of the electronic bestseller lists in Russia, the state news agency TASS reports.....The novelist said he had used Stalin's dictatorship as a model for the all-seeing Big Brother, whose "thought police" force cowed citizens to engage in "doublethink" in order to believe that "War is peace, freedom is slavery".  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russian people on the whole are a very cultured people, one does not have to read minds to see that the Russian people have found themselves in a modern 1984, Putin will not allow the WORD War to be used in tell the story of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, his Special Military Operation is the only words allowed to be used about the WAR.   The Kremlin directs what the TV AND PRINT media say about the War, if you say the word WAR you can find yourself joining Oscar Wilde doing hard time in a GULAG for 15 years, if you are critical of Putin you might find yourself DEAD, people seems to have accidents from windows, death being the result.  At some point the Russian people as they did in 1917, the First Revolution and 1991 have to get up and leave their houses and get on the streets to protest, the Russian people if they knew the TRUTH would be appalled by the WAR, if the Ukraine Forces dared, they should lop a missile at the Kremlin, just hitting the walls as not to hurt anyone, jus to send a message, that might bring Putin back to reality and also the poor Russian people. THIS MUST END, IF Holy Russia is the return. 

North Korea to have a Nuclear Test - South Korea - North Korean Crisis - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " North Korea 'ready' to test a nuclear weapon, claims South Korean PM Han Duck-soo...The comments come in the closing weeks of a year that has seen the isolated state fire more missiles than at any other time since leader Kim Jong Un came to power in 2011.  "

Lets Get Real:

North Korea already a rogue natio, has gone further this year, North Korea has fired missiles and has tested a ICBM that could have reached the US this year. The North Korean nuclear test will be another crisis for the Biden Oval, North Korea also plays in to the the Ukraine War, the North Korean Government is giving military kit to Russia in the form of ammo, and one does wonder what the Kremlin is giving North Korea. One can assume that North Korea is getting political cover from China and Putin's Russia. The new South Korean Government was elected on being tougher with North Korea, the border between South and NorTH is full of tension most days, so what can South Korea really do, send more planes to the air border, increase it Naval protection of its borders.  One would think that South Korea and the US allies in the area, that would be Japan would agree on how to react to a nuclear test, the worry is that both South Korea and Japan might want to go nuclear, as they fear a nuclear armed North Korea.  Let's recall that the end of the Korean war in 1951 was an Armistice, no peace deal has ever been signed, thus should a WAR break out UN States would be dragged back in, this includes the UK, that would affect how much support the West would give to the Ukraine if the US and the UK faced a War in Korea again!!

Ukraine HITS Russian Barracks in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.47am post the following, " Ukrainian missiles hit barracks in Russian-occupied Melitopol....Ukraine has attacked a barracks in the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol, with some Ukrainian sources claiming scores of Russian casualties....Explosions were also reported overnight in the Russian occupied Crimea, including Sevastopol and Simferopol.  "

Lets Get Real:

On the Ukraine side this is the chance to HIT the Russians Forces hard while they set up for the WINTER, with WINTER, the Ukraine and Russian Forces will be stuck in their trenches.  One does hope that the West has sent proper military kid to the Ukraine Forces, it seems from reports that the Russians conscript barely have guns never mind the proper military kit for the WINTER.   In the winter period one can expect a lot more drone and cruise missile strikes, it has been reported that the Russians are low on drones and cruise missiles, thus the military partnership with Iran and North Korea, it's not what these two countries are giving the Russians that matter, it is that the Russians are giving back, could Moscow give the Tehran help in its nuclear ambitions, does it want a nuclear armed Islamic Regime on its border, that is another question.  On the North Korean side, it does not have any friends, if you exclude China, thus Russia becomes an important ally, the world is still expecting a nuclear test form North Korea, one is sure that Russia will support that, as it will cause another CRISIS POINT for President Biden.   At least the winter will freeze the trench warfare for a while.

Tehran/Moscow Military Pact - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " US says Iran now Russia's 'top military backer'....Russia and Iran's relationship has warmed to a fully fledged defence partnership, the US has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

The development of a military pact between the US and Iran should worry the whole WORLD.  This is a threat to the national security of the West and the Middle East.  The EVIL Tehran Regime is giving Drones to Moscow, and the Kremlin is using them to attack the Ukraine civic and military structure.  One would very much like to know what the Russians are giving to the Tehran, information on how to place a nuclear warhead on a missile, could be one of the things that Moscow trades.  One does hope that the CIA, NSA have their eyes and ears open and can prevent the EVIL Moscow Regime from getting these drones from Tehran, there was a report that Moscow and Tehran were coming together to build drones in Russia, this would cut the time needed from their building to their use in the Ukraine.  This has the feeling of the 1930s, when Germany, Italy and Japan were allies, the build up to World War 2.

Kyrsten Sinema Leaves the Democrats in the US Senate

BBC News: Reports " US Senator Kyrsten Sinema says she will leave Democratic Party "

Lets Get Real:

This in effects makes Senators Sinema and Manchin the most powerful Democrats in the US Senate, the Democrats have a nominal  51 to 49 majority over the Republicans, thus if the past is an indicator, these two Senators will not support scrapping the filibuster, thus helping the Republicans to block the Democratic Agenda.   The Senator has been a wildcard for the past few years, she will sit as an Independent in the US Senate, when difficult votes comes up, it will be she and Manchin who decide its fate.  The Republicans should be taking Senator to a lot of dinners, to try to butter her up, and stress the fact that the Democratic Party has gone HARD LEFT with Biden in the White House, and if she wants to get re-elected in 2024 she will need the backing of the Republicans is she cannot win a Democratic Primary.  Thus on the whole not good news for POTUS, he has had a good winning streak, so far, the economy is good when it comes to jobs, it looks like former President Trump wants to be the Republican nominee in 2024, thus far he is burning up his own candidacy, he has gone extreme right, he wants to suspend the US Constitution, and has had a dinner with a racists, he seem to have LOST THE PLOT. Thus good chance Biden can win in 2024 if keeps up this winning streak and does not do another Afghanistan. 

The RISK of Nuclear WAR on the RISE - President Putin - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 3.36pm post, " Putin warns risk of nuclear war ‘on the rise’....Putin insisted Russia had not “gone mad” and that it saw its own nuclear arsenal as a purely defensive deterrent.  "

Lets Get Real:

If President Putin is the moderate what about the rest of his COURT, the Russian Government and that includes Putin has been getting the nuclear sword out since they invaded the Ukraine.  There is FEAR in Western Capitals that the Russians will use a dirty bomb in the Ukraine, a false flag operation what would blame the Ukraine for such an incident,  that would allow Russia to go nuclear on the battlefield.   The West has to keep arming the Ukraine forces, the Kyiv Government should use the WINTER as way to attack the Russian troops in their trenches, any temporary ceasefire suggested by the Russians would be a diversion as they build up their forces.   The French President has showed that he cannot be trusted, few days ago he suggested security guarantees for the Russians if they agreed to talks.  One is somewhat shocked the Kremlin did not take him up on the offer, as a way to get the French to split from the Western agreed agenda for the Ukraine WAR.  The Russian Bear and his WAR CRIMES cannot be trusted, Russian needs a new leader, or more people will die in the Ukraine and Russia. 

The Biden OVAL denies it supports the Ukraine bombing Russian Airfields - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 2.21pm post, " 

White House says it has not encouraged Ukraine to escalate war....

The US appears to have distanced itself from a series of apparent drone strikes within Russia thought to have been carried out by Ukraine....Ukrainian officials will likely argue they have a right to defend themselves by attacking military targets within Russian territory.  "

Lets Get Real:

This smells like the US State Department and the US National Security Advisor acting as appeasers, the NSA has already stated that he wants to keep channels open with the Russian Bear. The Kyiv Government can argue that if it can produce home grown long distance drones, then it has the right to attack Russia proper, that is Russia not including the Crimea.  One would love to be a fly on the wall if the US suggested to the Ukraine that it could not fire on bases on Russia that are shooting at the Ukraine.  The talk would be secret for about five seconds, the President of the Ukraine would be on the TV, suggesting that Biden was WEAK in a Presidential election cycle, also it would be used by the Russians to show that the Ukraine did not have the US as an ally.  The Kyiv Government has the right to defend its own land, and even the President of the United States does not have a VETO if he wants to get re-elected in 2024.

Right Wing Coup ATTEMPT thwarted in Germany - Modern Germany

BBC News: Reports " Germany arrests 25 accused of plotting coup "

Lets Get Real:

This is shocking news from modern Germany, one would have thought after World War 2 that the Germans would have learned the historic lessons from that nightmare, one can now see why they take their school age children to concentration camps SO that future generations do not go through the same process, ( this blog thought that it was a bit extreme to take modern Germans back to that period, it seems this blog was wrong ).  The German State has to keep its eyes and ears open to such threats, as the US showed in 2020, Countries that would never think of such things happen can happen if the left or right are not kept a close eye on. NOTHING like that can happen in the UK, we fought to World Wars to prevent that, the centre right might complain about the usual suspects, the BBC over Brexit, the Guardian over everything, Channel 4 News etc, but we accept its part of DEMOCRATIC Country to listen to the other side, even if your eyebrows do go up sometimes, we would never put them in the TOWER OF LONDON, we are better than that, one does hope that MI5 and GCHQ have their eyes and ears open, such threats must be ended before they become a THREAT.

The Defence of the Ukraine by Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.06pm post the following, " Ukraine shoots down most missiles launched by Russia, air force says....Ukraine shot down more than 60 of over 70 missiles launched by Russia in a massed missile strike on Monday, Ukraine’s air force command said.  "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes that the transfer of Western air defence equipment is helping the Kyiv Government in takin down the Russian missiles.  The Kremlin will be worried that it is running out of missiles and that the Ukraine feels free to attack Russian bases in Russia itself.  The West has to keep supporting the Kyiv Government through the WINTER, it will be tough in the Ukraine, both Ukraine and Russian forces will be stuck in their trenches, one hopes there is no Christmas TRUCE as in 1914, the Russian Bear cannot be trusted, also Christmas comes later for the Russians culturally.  The attacks on the Russian airfields will alarm the people of Russia and the Kremlin, Putin fears he will be the  TSAR that lost the WAR, the last one and his family were executed in 1918.  The failure in Afghanistan, the Chernobyl meltdown lead to the destruction of the USSR in the end.  The people of the Ukraine are fighting for their freedom and the right to exist, while Putin is fighting to save his own neck and that of Russia.

You CANNOT TRUST the FRENCH - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.15am post the following, " 

Macron criticised for suggesting West consider 'security guarantees' for Russia....

French President Emmanuel Macron has been criticised for suggesting that the West should consider Russia's need for security guarantees if Moscow agrees to talks to end the war.  "

Lets Get Real:

The FRENCH are up to their old tricks, stabbing the WEST in the back, the French President thinks himself a great political leader, he has been on the phone to Putin more than any other LEADER is Europe, he wants to bring the War in the Ukraine to an end, thus he and France gets the glory.  The West has to be UNITED, neither the French or Germans should allowed to do their cowboy diplomacy, they are not very good at it, if the past is anything to go by.  The French it seems have a problem with holding the line, if WW1 and WW2 are anything to by, also the French for years were not in the NATO Command structure.  The Biden Oval needs to get on the phone to Macron and tell him to back off, the US and the UK are the lead powers when it comes to the Ukraine, we do not need the French pushing the noses in to the business of the Ukraine, however much the French President thinks he knows the solution.

Have Ukrainian Forces hit airfields in Russia ? - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Explosions hit two military airfields in Russia - reports.....These reports - of two explosions at two different military sites - will fuel speculation that Ukraine may be behind them... "

Lets Get Real:

As the military sides go into trench warfare the battle will be done by drones and airplanes, thus one can expect more attacks on Russia from the air and by special forces.  The Russians it seems have endless cruise missiles, and thus their constant attacks on the Ukraine and its power infrastructure, and the aim to force the people of the Ukraine to press their government for a ceasefire, this is the last thing that the Kyiv Government should be thinking about.  The trench battles will go through the winter, one doubt that much ground will be taken, if WW1 is any example.  That only changed in 1917 when the US entered the WAR and their troops arrived in France.  The WAR in the Ukraine will only stop when the Russians lose the war and are seen to lose the war.  That is the only protection for the Baltic States and Poland.  Ukraine must not buckle and that goes for the West too. 

The Latest Sanctions on Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in it's 2.40pm post the following, " The price cap on Russian seabourne oil has been expanded to the G7 and Australia, after it was agreed by EU countries. Poland had held out on a lower amount than the $60 a barrel that was agreed....Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia would “not accept this ceiling”.  "

Lets Get Real:

The point of this move by the EU and other Western hemisphere powers is to curb the amount of money that Russia gets for its oil and restrict its actions in the Ukraine.  A total ban on Russia oil would be to risky for the West, as it is now, Putin can pull the plug anytime he wants, and one expects this kind of move in the WINTER should it be bad.  It is reported that the this WINTER will be mild, one never knows with British weather ( this blog went through three phases on a bus trip, rain, snow and the sun at the end ) thus one can hope, but the UK Government should make sure that the UK  and the West has enough reserve oil for the winter should it be rough.  A harsh winter in the Ukraine should lead to a WAR of ATTRITION between the Ukraine and Russia, the Ukraine and Russian trenches remid one of World War 1, one can only hope that the WAR does not escalate into WW3.

Biden FIXING the Democratic Nomination for himself in 2024 - Biden Era/Candidate for 2024

BBC News: Reports  " US presidential election 2024: Biden pushes to re-shuffle early states....Mr Biden owes no particular debt to the voters in the two early states. In 2020, he finished fourth in Iowa and fifth in New Hampshire.  "

Lets Get Real:

This could be POTUS stacking the nomination process for himself, as stated above Biden did not do well in Iowa and New Hampshire in 2020, this could be POTUS creating a field for himself should he run, but also getting even with these two states.  The problem might be down the road, on the Democratic Side, the good people of IOWA and NEW HAMPSHIRE might decide to jump the Biden calendar,  and have their time in the SUN.  Also overall the people of these States might vote for the Republican Nominee who respect their right to be at the head of the calendar in 2024.  If POTUS does not run ( he will run, otherwise why FIX the Field ) the other candidates might want these two States to keep their position, it might help them win in that State, thus in 1980 Bush 41 won Iowa, but Reagan took New Hampshire and won from there on.  The 2024 has started with this latest development, while Trump is burning his nomination attempt before it starts. 

Moscow is angry with Paris over War Crimes Trials SUPPORT - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 1.35pm post, " 

Moscow 'outraged' by French decision to back war crimes tribunal....

It is likely this would involve a handful of people, potentially including Vladimir Putin, the foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and the defence minister Sergei Shoigu.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians will go up the wall over the French supporting WAR CRIMES TRIALS, the French and the Germans are seen as the weak points in the Western WALL.  The last thing that Putin wants is to be dragged to a European Court and to face he the crimes he has committed in Russia and outside Russia.  One does hope that this idea is a WESTERN PLAN to get the attention of the Kremlin, to make them consider WESTERN TERMS for the end of the WAR IN THE UKRAINE.  One can see a DEAL, were the Russians get out of the Ukraine proper, but stay in the CRIMEA ( it can be argued that the Crimea is a long term Russian interest, the Crimean War in the 19th Century, Russians against the Brits )  The benefit for the Russians, is they get to keep the CRIMEA, and its accepted by the WEST and no WAR CRIME TRIALS, while the Ukraine is allowed to join the EU and NATO in time. That would be real politic at its best. 

Russia MAKES DEMANDS before talks with the West - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Russia says the West's refusal to recognise "new territories" seized from Ukraine makes peace talks harder, after President Joe Biden indicated he would be ready to meet Vladimir Putin.  "

Lets Get Real:

As the above article notes any talks between POTUS and Putin would be conditional on Putin wanting to end the WAR IN THE UKRAINE.  The West will never force the Kyiv Governemtn to give land to the Russians, and the Russians will have to show they mean peace by getting out of the whole of the Ukraine, the sticking point might be the Ukraine.  The West has to much invested in the Ukraine to allow the Russians to have a win, a Putin win would allow him to move his eyes to the Baltic States and Poland, that would lead to WW3.  The Kremlin knows that if it was really honest with the Russian people about the loses that the Russian Army has faced in the Ukraine, then the Putin regime would come under threat.  Those Russian Soldiers killed in the Ukraine is thousands more than those killed in the Afghanistan War from 1979 - 1989, that helped bring down the USSR.  One does worry there are appeasers in the US State Department and that the US NSA wants to keep lines open with Moscow, that might be seen as a weakness by Putin and his Court. 

High Level US and Russian Talks - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.34pm post the following, " 

Putin's spy chief discussed nuclear issues with CIA director....

Russian foreign intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin said in an interview that he had met CIA director William Burns on 14 November...He also confirmed the two countries had a channel to manage risks and that it would be possible for another such conversation to be held in future.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be postulated that the US and Russia had such high level talks is good, it would be interesting to know who asked for the talks, and what in detail they asked for.  On the other hand the Biden Oval should be careful it is not played by the Kremlin, the Russians do not want the US and vice versa for both sides to start fighting each other, but the talks allow the Russians to mislead the Biden Oval as to what it wants and might bluff the US that it will never use a dirty bomb and then it does effect use a dirty bomb in Kherson, or starts another front to take KYIV.   The people of the Ukraine are being tested, the Russians are hitting the energy infrastructure of the Ukraine, they are trying to WEAR the people down, they do not a long term WAR in the Ukraine, they have the manpower but the West and NATO have the weapons, in the end Putin cannot win, and he knows that, he also knows that he is toast if he loses the WAR.  Thus what will Putin do is the sixty four thousand question, when his back is against the WALL, he hopes it is not a firing squad. 

US and NATO to support the Ukraine over the Winter Period - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.55pm post the following, "  US and Nato allies pledge continued support for Ukraine....Nato foreign ministers today pledged to step up support to Ukraine and help repair its energy infrastructure amid a wave of Russian attacks that have repeatedly knocked out power supplies and heating for millions of Ukrainians, Reuters reports.  "

Lets Get Real:

The winter war in the Ukraine will be tough, the Russians want to keep the people of the Ukraine in the dark and very cold.  One can expect more attacks from the Russians, they want to keep the WHOLE Ukraine DARK at night.  Also Western Europe should expect cyber attacks on their own infrastructure, the Russians want to make the West pay for its support of the Ukraine.  One hopes the CIA, NSA in the US is on form to prevent such attacks, also the MI5/6 in the UK and GCHQ have their ears open.  It might be a MILD winter in Europe, one hopes, but one has to plan for the worse.  The Russian plan for a quick war has turned into something out of World War one, the Ukraine and Russian Forces are in the trenches, keeping each other at bay.  There is no time for a Christmas truce as in 1914, the Russians cannot be trusted, well Putin might try something, he really needs as win in the Ukraine or he is finished. Games of Thrones had it right, Winter is Coming!
