A State Funeral for Gorbachev ? - Putin's Russia


Lets Get Real:

The above article is right, the idea of Western Leaders going to Moscow is out of the question, how could they go with the WAR IN THE UKRAINE, also this blog does not trust that the leaders would be secure in Moscow, Putin does not play fair or understand the rules.  Of course Putin could play games with the West, declare that Gorbachev will have a State Funeral, thus forcing Western Leaders to decline going, so Putin gets the benefit of looking to Russians like a Statesman.   The Western Leaders should hold a memorial for Gorbachev either in Washington D.C, London or Berlin.  This would show that the West was showing respect to a great leader, while showing to Russians that their leader is a rogue leader in charge of a rogue nation.  Reagan, Thatcher had a State Funerals, so Gorbachev deserves his to be a State Funeral, the West was lucky in the 80s to have Reagan in the Oval, Thatcher in No 10 and Gorbachev in the Kremlin, what ever the majority of Russians think. 

    Will Former President Trump need a Presidential Pardon ? - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    It will not be the US Attorney General who decides to charge the former President, it will be the current President, who should remember that if the Republicans take the House, they can start to investigate Hunter Biden, that is the last thing that President Biden should want, if any criminal leads from Hunter Biden goes to his father, then Biden could be in a HOT WATER, deep trouble.  Thus as the grown up in the room, Biden should offer to PARDON Trump if he promises not to run in 2024, and then Biden will not have to run.  If the above were to happen then the Republicans will not have the need to impeach Biden if they take the House.  The above asks for grown ups to be in the room, Reagan in his diaries called Biden a demagogue, thus his recent remarks that the Republicans are fascists, who in the room is going to tell Biden to grow up, American democracy could be at stake.

    Gorbachev is DEAD at 91 - End of an Era - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    Gorbachev was a great leader, who tried to reform and bring openness to the USSR, the USSR could not be saved, this is why the old Communists tried a Coup in 1991, Gorbachev was arrested, the Russian people rose up and defeated the Coup, Gorbachev on his return from arrest was to slow to see that the number was up for the USSR.  Thus the end of the USSR in 1991. In his short years in power he and President Reagan ended the Cold War and with their agreements on a INF Treaty, the first nuclear treaty to abolish nuclear weapons.   This Treaty Lasted in till the Putin Regime cheated on it.   Let's be honest, the old Russian Guard who appointed Gorbachev wanted to challenge Reagan on charisma, and Gorbachev had that in spades, the problem was that the USSR could never match the Reagan defence spending, thus threw in the towel, also they could not cope with the Reagan's ideas for taking the Cold War in to Space, with SDI or Star Wars as it was called by its critics.  Reagan, Gorbachev and Thatcher were the last great leaders of the 20th Century.  It has been reported that Gorbachev was horrified by the WAR in the Ukraine, Putin has thrown all the Gorbachev ideas for reform away, there is no democracy in Russia, also Putin controls the printed press and the airways.   One does hope that Gorbachev is given a State Funeral, he was a great leader, the World owes him and Reagan a great debt, ending the First Cold War with words and not a hot WAR.  Reagan trusted Gorbachev, Putin is not in his class at all. 

    Kherson Update - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

    Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.57pm post the following, " 

    Russian official in Kherson tells locals 'everything is fine' – but his video shows he's left for five-star hotel in Russia  "


    Lets Get Real:


    This shows that the Russians officials placed in charge in Kherson do not

     fancy meeting any Ukrainian Troops should they take the Kherson region, Moscow is already playing down the Ukrainian Offensive, but as stated before they would say that.  The Kyiv Government has the Russians on the back foot, if they re - take the Kherson region this would be a major blow to Putin and Moscow.  The people of Russia have to smell the coffee at some point, the Russian people have a rich cultured history and one expects better of intelligent people, they should be out in the streets, opposing the Putin Regime, the Moscow PR has stated that the Kyiv Government is Nazi, well the truth is that PUTIN is using the Hitler plan, Putin is a gangster, he kills when he wants too and does not care about the thousands of Russian soldiers killed.  As Stalin once said, a single death is tragic, after that it becomes numbers.  The Mothers in Russia need to get out in the street, shame the rest of the population, even the Russians Army will not resist hundred of thousands on the street, the Russian people did this is 1917 ad 1991, this is the Russian TIME for FREEDOM, otherwise they will be tarred as being the same as Putin. 

    The Ukraine OFFENSIVE at Kherson - Ukraine - Russian War - Bide Era


    Lets Get Real:

    The new Ukraine offensive will annoy the Kremlin, they have stated that it has not worked, well one would expect them to say that, the WAR IN THE UKRAINE has been a disaster for Putin and Russia.  It can be stated that Russia is the most sanctioned nation on earth after IRAN, the the Russian War was meant to be quick, with a victory parade in Kiev after a few days, in fact the WAR has become a WAR of attrition, in the shape of World War 1.  One has stated that it will need for the US to pull its finger out and send in the their troops as happened in 1918.  The West has the money and the technology, while Russia has the manpower, if only Putin would call it WAR, in fact the Putin regime has placed people in jail for even calling the WAR a WAR, the Russian PR has been successful when it comes to the Russian people, they as a whole have been conned, the truth will come out someday.

    No More Russians in to Europe - Ukraine - Russian War


    Lets Get Real:

    The EU should have done this at the START, the Russian people must be forced on to the streets, with sanctions like this and economic sanctions, thousands have been arrested over the WAR in the Ukraine, the Russian people as a whole must be gotten on to the streets, they did this in 1917 at the end of Imperial Russia and in 1991 with the downfall of the USSR under Gorbachev, the Russian economy has recovered some since the sanctions, the Putin Government trying to developed its Asian contacts and in the Middle East, with China and Iran.   There can only be one ONE OUTCOME, Putin MUST LOSE AND BE SEEN TO LOSE, otherwise we face WW3 down the road, this is our late 1930s moment, failure cannot be allowed to happen, the Ukraine must be supported at ALL COSTS.  Even if this means that we have a " War Economy ", the Government should consider paying the extra 100 billion pounds to cover the costs of energy to the UK population.   This is OUR MOMENT to show the courage of our grandfathers and great grandfathers. 

    US Warships travel through Taiwan Strait - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    The Biden Administration has shown restraint when it comes to China and its military moves around Taiwan after the visit by Speaker Pelosi.  This is the big stick to remind China that the US safeguards Taiwan and that China cannot do what it likes when it comes to Taiwan, that the US will protect an ally.  One would have thought that China would have waited, but with the invasion of the Ukraine by Russia, the Chinese Government might think this is its chance, with the Biden viewpoint stuck with the Ukraine, the on going talks with Iran over its nuclear ambitions and the threat from North Korea of a nuclear test.  If President Biden wants to do well in the Mid Terms, he needs to show that he is a strong man when it comes to international events, weakness gets you Jimmy Carter Mark 2.

    UK PM Johnson in KYIV with the President of Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War


    Lets Get Real:

    Whatever you think about Boris he knows how to leave OFFICE on a his idea of a HIGH, he has been on holiday, he has been in the back of a fighter jet, and now he keeps his support for the Ukraine.  Those that bought him DOWN, will be lucky to get a footnote in history, while BORIS will be back as PM, give it a few years and the Country will call on him to become PM again, by then Johnson enemies will have gone from the House of Commons.  Is it expected that Liz Truss will become the next PM, it would not be a BAD IDEA to make the former PM a Ambassador to KYIV, that will not go down well with the KREMLIN, that is GOOD.  Also it will give Boris something to do, and keep him out of the Country, everything is political.  This blog salutes OUR BORIS. 

    US gives more MILITARY support to Ukraine - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    This will not go down well with Putin's Kremlin, the Russians cannot win in the Ukraine, they have the manpower to go on forever, but they lack the high tech weapons and the money, let's recall President Reagan outspent the USSR and forced them to lose the COLD WAR, the Russians could never spend as much as the US.  There is a worry with the COST OF LIVING crisis that the West  will cut bait with the Ukraine, one hopes not, otherwise Putin wins and then the whole of Western Europe comes under THREAT.  The US and the Europe has to support the Ukraine, there is no other choice, otherwise we are back to the appeasement of the 1930s, who wants to be the next Neville Chamberlain. POTUS is following that road with his actions over Iran.

    Will Trump be CHARGED over Classified Files at his Florida Home ? - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    Why would former President Trump need to keep 700 pages of secret materials, and that is just the documents that was taken away from the Trump home in January, the President would have known that he could have looked at them at any time, in a secure manner, the security of the the Trump Home would hardly be up to the standard of what the Government does to keep documents secret, what if foreign intelligence bodies had found this out and tried to get copies, the fact that Trump had them is not the problem, its the bulk.  It should be noted that in 1969 when LBJ left office he took information that showed that the Nixon Campaign had placed pressure on the Saigon Government in South Vietnam not to go to the Paris Peace Talks.  LBJ could have blown up the 68 campaign with this hacked information, but he kept it quiet and stated that the information would be held in his Library, in a envelope to be opened decades later.  It has been postulated that the WATERGATE break in was Nixon looking to see what the Democrats had on the 68 campaign, why otherwise break in, the Richard Nixon won the 72 election in a landslide, he did not need to break in to the Watergate.  The Saigon connection makes sense of the break in.  The point being that Presidents do take secret information with them, well LBJ and Trump did, so let's not get pious about it, its the volume that is the problem.  One has to say that Trump should face charges, but the Biden Administration should not do that, it should be the grown up, CNN and the liberal media want that, it would be disaster, it would make Trump a martyr to the course, the information from Jan 6 is bad enough to stop from running, let's not give Trump a OUT, the Democrats would never be forgiven. 

    US warns Citizens to Leave Ukraine NOW - Russian - Ukraine War - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    It has been reported for days that Moscow is up to something and might do something drastic, the fear was that Moscow would try a false flag operation at the nuclear plant they control.  The assassination in Moscow by whoever might give Moscow a reason to do something drastic, a low level nuclear explosion at the nuclear plant, or a low level nuclear attack on Kyiv as they celebrate their independence from the USSR.  One hopes that the CIA, NSA, MI6, GCHQ have their ears and eyes open, there is nothing that the Russians bear will not do if it thinks it is losing the WAR, and the attacks in the Crimea are hitting the confidence of Russians, Moscow might control the media, but gossip gets about, if the Ukraine is right then Moscow has lost over forty thousand troops in this six month war, that will get about, women will want to know what has happened to their sons, they will want answers, the USSR lost less troops in Afghanistan and that helped bring down the USSR. The next few hours and days will be interesting. Putin creates a crisis, and then want to be seen as dealing with it, there is the grain deal after the fear that the Africa would starve, what will Putin want to avoid Russian drastic action, the Russian bear cannot be trusted. 

    Ukraine not behind Russian Assassination - Ukraine - Russian - Ukraine War


    Lets Get Real:

    Of cause MOSCOW is going to blame KYIV for the murder, the thought that there might be other Russians factions who do not agree with the WAR IN THE UKRAINE cannot be allowed to be suspect, it would show that Putin does not have complete control of Russia.  Also the KYIV Government is having luck at the moment with its strikes in the Crimea, an assassination would not be needed, also the victim was not that important enough, she had been sanctioned by the West, its her father that would be important, also KYIV needs to keep a clean hands in this WAR, thus it would keep its fighting to the battlefield, in East Ukraine and Crimea, not terrorist acts in Moscow. It can be postulated that the CIA and MI6 would have stopped any such action by the KYIV Government.   As the article notes the Russians solved the case in a quick manner, while other such cases have never been solved.   It can be postulated that the Attack was a false flag operation that went wrong, and that the culprit is in the Kremlin.

    Red Alert Time at Nuclear Plant - False Flag Operation Time? - Russian - Ukraine War


    Lets Get Real:

    This should be a warning to the White House and No 10 Downing Street, the Russians could be up to something, the Biden Oval should be on the hot line to the Kremlin, to see what they are planning, or be ready to send in NATO TROOPS to protect the plant, if the Ukrainian workers are not there, how will the plant operate.  The Kremlin could be feeling the pressure on the economic and military front and could have decided to go for broke, blow up the plant and blame the Kiev Forces and their Western supporters.  On the other hand it might be something else, the question is WHAT?  Trying to connect the CRIMEA to the plant, but how, the workers are not there, this sounds very iffy.

    UN must SECURE Nuclear Plant - Ukraine - Russia - Ukraine War - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    The Russians have already said NO to the idea that the UN can secure the nuclear plant, the Russians either want to use the plant as a nuclear shield to prevent the Ukrainian Forces firing back or they want to use a false flag operation to blow up the plant and blame the Kiev Government.  The West should be very worried, the Russians cannot be trusted, they have showed by their actions in the Ukraine that they lie and their word cannot be trusted.  It is a matter of urgency that NATO have Forces on Alert to take the plant, the Russians cannot be allowed to blow up the plant or re - direct its power to the annexed Crimea.  In doing that the Russians by accident might blow it up either way.  This is a endless WAR, the West must rearm the Kiev Forces and allow them to stall the Russians forces and take the WAR to the Crimea.  One hopes the Biden Oval is awake to the THREAT TO WESTERN SECURITY.

    The Iran Nuclear Deal - Update - Biden Era

    CNN - Middle East: Reports " Iran wants compensation if US pulls out of nuclear deal again, diplomatic source says "

    Lets Get Real:

    President Biden if he goes with this DEAL, will be showing the same arrogance as Neville Chamberlain did in 1938 at Munich, history has shown that Joe Biden knows nothing about international politics or history, this was shown by the US Departure from Afghanistan, Biden is desperate to bee seen as a Master of World Affairs, a bit like Woodrow Wilson and Richard Nixon, those Presidents were flawed, but they were right when it came to ending World War 1 and the War in Vietnam, Biden was opposed to US troops being in Afghanistan during the Obama Presidency when he was VP, at least Obama overruled him then, last year there was no one to overrule Biden, he is the President.  Thus we come to the Obama - Iran deal, if the Biden Oval goes for this DEAL, he will be seen as a Appeaser, in the same mould of Chamberlain.  The US allies in the Middle East will get the message, that the US is WEAK and they must act together to prevent Iran getting the bomb, no matter what the Biden Oval wants.  Thus will WORLD SECURITY come down to Israel and its new Allies, that is the future Debate.  Iran cannot allowed to have the bomb, it has shown that it is either close to the bomb or has the bomb, the only person not getting that message is POTUS. 

    Liz Truss the NEXT UK PM - After Boris - After Brexit


    Lets Get Real:

    If the former Chancellor Rishi Sunak had any common sense, he would withdraw from the race, he is NOT GOING TO WIN, if he pulled out of the race then Liz Truss could form a new Government and do something to help with the Cost of Living Crisis, the Conservative Party will never give the keys on No10 to someone who stabbed PM BORIS in the back, the members still want Boris to be PM.  It is reported that Liz Truss has stated that that she would have Sunak in her Cabinet, one presumes it is about keeping your enemies close.  The Conservative Government needs to get the public back on their agenda, this means TRUSS and her support for tax cuts.  The Conservative Party over the last few years has not been Conservative enough, we have the highest tax rate since 1949 and the Labour Government.  Thus the Country expects tax cuts from Truss, and to be tough with the EU. 

    Truss and the Northern Ireland Protocol - Conservative Leadership Contest - After Brexit


    Lets Get Real:

    If the Conservative Leadership contest polls are right, then Liz Truss is our next PM, the Foreign Secretary lead the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill through the House of Commons.  It is expected that the Remainers in the House of Lords will try to take apart the Bill and thus forcing the House of Commons to block their rejection.  After a YEAR the Government can use the Parliament Act, that means that the House of Commons can force the changes to the Northern Ireland Protocol through the House of Commons and then Royal Assent.  A Truss premiership should be TOUGH ON EUROPE, the EU thought that Sunak would win and would back off any direct fight with the EU, that plan might not have worked.  The EU has failed to se the basic fact that Northern Ireland is part of the UK not the EU.

    Nuclear THREAT to Ukraine - Russian - Ukraine War - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    There are reports that the Kremlin wants to create a false flag operation at the nuclear plant they hold, its has been reported that the Russians have placed dynamite around the plant to blow it up if the WAR does not go well for the Russians.  If it looks like the Kiev Government is winning, they plant will be blown up and the Russians will try to blame the Kiev Government, a nuclear meltdown would be a disaster for the Ukraine and the West.  The Kremlin does not care about that, or the cost in lives, there worry is that the Kiev Government with its arms and weapons from the West can STOP Putin in his tracks and allow those opposed to PUTIN to take action against him.  The CIA, MI6, NSA and GCHQ in the UK must have their eyes and ears open, if it looks like Putin is willing to dare such a action, then the West, in the shape of NATO must take the plant and prevent another Chernobyl. 

    Ukrainian Forces HIT the Crimea - Russia - Ukraine War - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    The Crimea was take over by the Russians in 2014, the Obama Administration did nothing, thus this was seen by Moscow as a GREEN light for their invasion of Ukraine.  The Kremlin failed to understand that the West would back the Kiev Forces with the equipment it needs to fight back against the Russians. There would be NO 1938 Munich sell out or the White House doing a secret deal as JFK did over Cuba.  Putin took a risk and that risk has failed.  The Russian people have been brainwashed by the the Moscow controlled media, all opposition has been shut down, but for a few brave individuals.  The Kiev Government is taking the fight to the Russians, good for them, they were invaded, they have the right to fight for their democratic freedom.

    Europe AFTER Brexit - After Brexit

    On the lighter side today!!


    Lets Get Real:

    The above is from a Guardian writer, the remain remoners have never gotten over Brexit, it was the finest day in UK Democracy since the end of World War 2.  The people are the final judges on the future of a Country, it should be noted that WALES voted for Brexit, as noted on TV at the time, buildings built with EU money does not give long term jobs.  Also what has the EU ever done for the poor areas of WALES, NOTHING is the answer, it was reported that the Queen had stated whatever has the EU done for me, as the Queen is sovereign, that means what the EU done for the whole of the UK.   The EU is for the elite and run by the elite, that is why the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill is so important, the UK Government should decide on OUR borders.  Thus it is important that goods going to Northern Ireland from mainland UK do not need to be have extra paperwork or taxes.  The UK is now alone, as it always should be, Europe is Europe, it can be argued as individuals they should be judged, as a Political Unit they are threat to DEMOCRACY, and the UK has defend democracy during two world wars, we are now the symbol of the democratic spirit in this crisis World.   Who wants to go to France anyway! They do not have English Tea!! Once the Ukraine War is over, and the area is at peace, UK Subjects should visit Kiev.

    Breakdown of Diplomatic Relationships between the US and Russia ? - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    This is just the Russians playing up again, if its not nuclear threats it is this, there will always be communication between the US and Russia, they are nuclear armed and there is a need to prevent accidents.  The Russians thought they would have an early victory in the Ukraine, they FAILED, the Russians have the manpower, while the West has the weapons.   The Russian losses has be counted as high as eight thousand, this shows had badly the WAR has gone for Russia.   At least in the First Cold War, there were adults in the room, there is no one alive in the Kremlin to tell Putin to back off, there are reports that he is ill, but this has not been confirmed.  The Russians made a massive mistake by going in to the Ukraine, one does really wish for Palace Coup in the Kremlin, someone who will arrest Putin and get Russia back on the road to democracy. 

    The Political Ramifications of the FBI raid on Trump's House - Biden Era

    BBC News: Reports " The FBI seized top secret files in a search of former US President Donald Trump's estate in Florida this week, documents show.  "

    Lets Get Real:

    CNN really wants the FBI to charge Trump with breaking the LAW, that shows how out to lunch the CNN network is, the Biden Administration is not going to go in to a long battle in the Courts as to when a President can declassify Top Secret Documents, there has never been such a case in US legal or political history.   The Biden Administration is on a good roll, it has gotten its narrow domestic agenda through the US Congress when everyone thought it was DEAD IN THE WATER.  China has not invaded Taiwan, the reports from the region has slowed down.  In the Ukraine the Kiev Forces have stopped the Russians and pushed them back.  Thus the Mid Terms in November do not that bleak, reports suggest that the Democrats could hold the Senate but lose the House.  That is a problem, the Republicans will go after the Biden Oval, and that includes the President's son Hunter.  This blog still projects that Biden will not run in 2024, he will be to old, even the Democrats know that at this point.

    Ukrainian Nuclear Plant and the G7 - Ukraine Update - Biden Era

    BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.24pm post the following, " Foreign ministers of the G7 nations have called on Russia to immediately hand back full control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to Ukraine...They say the actions of Russia's armed forces are significantly raising the risk of a nuclear accident or incident and endangering the population of Ukraine, neighbouring states and the international community  "

    Lets Get Real:

    The Nuclear plant in question is being run by its Ukrainian staff under the guard of the Russians, there have been claim and counter claim on who is bombing it or placing bombs on site, this is to serious for the Western security for the West to keep its distance from it, there needs to be a NATO force there to protect the plant, Western Europe does not need another Chernobyl of the 1980s.   The Russians must be forced to hand over the plant to NATO or other forces that will protect the plant and makes sure that there are no attacks from Russia.  What happens if a rocket hits the plant or the Kremlin decides to blow it up, as to show how far it will go to WIN.  One does wonder where the grown ups in the Kremlin are, does no one in Russia have the nerve challenge Putin and the Russian Army.

    Nuclear Arms Control between the US and Russia - Ukraine Crisis - Biden Era

    This blog has not forgotten the WAR in the Ukraine, on the whole it has become a WAR attrition - 


    Lets Get Real:

    The Russians BROKE the INF Treaty by cheating, one would not be shocked to LEAR that the Russians have or will cheat on the New Start Treaty.  The Russian word is no good with Putin in the Kremlin.  President Reagan said in essence in his farewell address to the American people in 1989, when the then USSR ( Russia ) pulls a stunt, pull your first punch, when they carry on pull the plug.  The Russians are daily making nuclear threats over the Ukraine,  the nuclear sabre rattling could go WRONG, what if the Russians use a low yield nuclear device does POTUS then move in, the Biden Oval would have too, it would send the WRONG message not to ACT.  As President Reagan said, " Trust but verify " when there is good relationship, but do not be afraid to see the truth.  Putin is a rogue Leader leading a rouge Nation, one cannot excuse the Russian people, they are hardly on the Streets in protest.  They are being feed lies and have swallowed the PR from the Kremlin. 

    One of Trump's Houses raided by the FBI - Mid Terms - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    This was very thin ground for the FBI to raid the home of a former President, they did not do that to NIXON even after Watergate.  As President, Donald Trump could do what he liked with the documents, he could have handed them to the Russians and it would not have been illegal.  The President decides what happens to security documents while he is President, after he left office, that could be more tricky for Trump, he could argue that he had packed in a hurry, or someone else had packed them without telling him, anyway you look at this, this case will go to the US Supreme Court, and the Biden Administration better have a good case, also what happens if the Republicans take the House next year, the Democrats might regret doing this, the Republicans could go after Hunter Biden HARD, some boxes should never be opened, you never know what might be in this Pandora Box.

    The Obama - Iran Nuclear Deal Update - Iran Crisis - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    IF President Biden takes this DEAL, then the World will know that the US has a even more dangerous President than Trump in charge, the Tehran Regime has made it clear that it has the bomb or will get the bomb soon, any deal with Iran is not worth the paper its written on, Tehran will carrying on cheating, and this will force ISRAEL and its Gulf Allies to think that the US cannot be trusted with their security as long as Biden is in the Oval Office and they might be forced to take action.  On the other hand a smart Biden should reject the deal, whatever he wants he will face opposition from Republicans and even members of his own Party in the US Senate.  This could be damaging in the Mid Terms in November and could lead to POTUS facing a challenge from the left in 2024.  This could be the worse time for POTUS to have to take the decision on the deal, China is acting up over Taiwan, the Russians are looking for weakness from Biden when it comes to the Ukraine.  The Biden Oval has to look and act strong, otherwise it is asking for trouble down the road. 

    POTUS on Taiwan Crisis - China Crisis - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    One does hope that POTUS does not come to regret these words, what the Lord giveth, a good Hill victory the Lord taketh away with Afghanistan and China might invade Taiwan, thus forcing the US and the West to support the Democratic Island.  This blog has argued that you can be liberal or conservative when it comes to your domestic agenda, but you have to be STRONG when you are President, one only looks at what happened to Jimmy Carter, the Russians going in to Afghanistan and the Tehran hostage crisis, American President need to be feared by the World, being like does not matter, that was the problem with President Obama, when he drew a red line if Syria used chemical weapons and they did and Obama did nothing.  That what happens when you get the NOBEL PRIZE for DOING NOTHING.  The personal ego takes over the Presidential ego.  At the end of his two terms, President Obama had a 58% approval rating with Gallup, while Reagan had 63% and Clinton had 66%, with the CBS poll both had 68% even after their policy and personal scandals.   A President needs to be feared more than loved, and respected, China is seeing how far it can push Biden and Taiwan. 

    China's blockade of Taiwan Update - China Crisis - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    As stated in my last post on the Taiwan Crisis, the Chinese Government is pulling a fast one, it wants to see how the Biden Oval reacts before it goes further, the Lord giveth to Biden with a good victory on the Hill and the Lord taketh away on the other hand, what if China sees Biden as WEAK after the Ukraine and Afghanistan, and it tries to invade Taiwan or some other mischief, the Biden Oval needs to find its backbone and send in the USS Reagan to Taiwan for a friendly visit and not friendly message to China to back off.  The Chinese drills cannot go on forever, if it looks like China want to place a permeant blockade on Taiwan then the US must act, its a matter of national security.  Developing. 

    Big Win for Biden on the HILL - Climate Change - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    This is a big win for the Biden Oval, but its not the great win that the Left wing Democrats wanted, they wanted to spend 6 trillion on EVERY Democratic wish, the Democrats could not get two of their own to support that, thus this is a limited bill.  This blog was a bit iffy about CLIMATE CHANGE, but the hot weather of the past few years has convinced this blog that the West and the World needs to DO SOMETHING to prevent the weather getting ANY HOTTER, the new Act will get people to go for electric cars and other policy favourites of the Democrats.  Of course the question is NOW, who will tell the Chief not to run for a 2nd term, a 2nd terms for modern Presidents has been rough, that goes for Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama, it could be advised that Biden gets out while he is winner, and not defeated for a 2nd term.  Who will be the man/women to tell Biden its over after a one term.

    Flogging a DEAD HORSE - US Talks with Iran - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    The Tehran Regime has already given the US its Nuclear Calling Card, either they are close to having the bomb or they already have the bomb.  What does it take with the Biden Oval, is POTUS so out of it, he wants a DEAL that is a threat to US and Israeli security.  If Iran was serious it would be a different matter, they are holding the UN Nuclear Agency at bay of the UN's on the ground video feed from Iran's nuclear sites.  What will it take with the Biden Oval, does it want to wake up one day and find that Tehran has done a nuclear test or has ICMB's that can reach the US.  Talking is good, but then there are bad talks, Munich 1938 and Reagan's and Gorbachev's talks from 1985 to 1988 that helped finish the First Cold War.  Iran is playing the US, it wants endless talks before it goes nuclear, and the blame will be on President Biden. 

    Pelosi LEAVES Taiwan - China Crisis - Biden Era

    BBC News: Reports  " US Speaker Nancy Pelosi has left Taiwan after a brief but controversial visit....In response to the trip, China announced what it called "necessary and just" military drills in seas around 10 miles (16 kilometres) from Taiwan.  "

    Lets Get Real:

    As stated by this blog, China has not really responded, military drills at sea and in the air is a way for China to avoid looking weak.  China will NEVER take on Taiwan as long as the US is there to protect it.  The angry noise from Beijing is just NOISE, the Chinese Government would be MAD to take on the US and its Allies.  The US at the moment is facing a Russian invasion of the Ukraine, Iran has the bomb or will get the bomb and it has been speculated that North Korea will have another nuclear test.  The Biden Oval does not need this whining from China, any WAR between China and the US would WREAK the World economy and cause major internal worries for the US and China.  Thus China should be seen as a paper tiger, in both military and economic terms.  Thus one crisis placed in the LONG GRASS, Biden as stated has other worries.

    Pelosi and Taiwan Update - China/Taiwan Crisis - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    There is no way that China will do anything in military offensive terms, its hardly a Presidential visit by President Biden, any attack on Taiwan or the Speaker's plane would be a matter of extreme risk.  The US will not allow China to run its Foreign Policy, it can be assumed that any US President will defend Taiwan, no matter what China wants or thinks.  Thus what will CHINA do, push North Korea to do a nuclear test, sell US bonds at a loss, China will do something, but nothing close to WAR, they are not that stupid, and are quite risk averse when it comes to the US.  If they do take action ALL BETS are OFF, the Biden Oval would have to react, the security of the US and the West would be at stake, China would not like the result. 

    Ayman al-Zawahiri, Leader of Al - Qaeda Dead - US Drone Strike - Biden Era



    Lets Get Real:

    A terrorist Leader is killed, the 2nd to OBL during the 9/11 attacks.  It seems that President Biden chose the same path as former President Obama, that is good, terrorists leaders need to be removed or killed.  They are a threat to Western Values.  A good job by POTUS, this should help with his poll ratings, and he needs some help, they are in the toilet at the moment.

    IRAN AND THE NUCLEAR BOMB Update - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era


    Lets Get Real:

    This is Tehran giving the WEST its nuclear calling card as news that they have the bomb already, does anyone still believe that Iran does not have the bomb, one can hope that even the Biden Oval gets the message that Iran has become a nuclear armed power, there were reports over the years that North Korea had been helping Iran with its rocket and nuclear help.  Thus one can assume ( without being proven wrong ) that IRAN has nuclear missiles.  The question is what will Israel do, also its new Gulf Allies, as noted in previous posts on this subject, Israel has acted alone, in 1981 over Iraq and 2007 over Syria.  The SECURITY of Israel is at STAKE, there is only one option if Tehran does not give up its nuclear material, and we all know the hurt that will bring to the Middle East, what will Israel, Biden do, the QUESTION has to be asked.
