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!

Biden and the Domestic Economy - Biden Era/2024 Candidate for POTUS

The Hill: Reports " Biden calls on Congress to prevent rail shutdown: ‘The economy’s at risk’....."

Lets Get Real:

This move by a DEMOCRATIC President will not go down well with some of the trade unions that backed Biden in 2020, if he decides to run he might have to rebuild his relationship with the LABOUR movement in the US.  It should be noted that when the Air Traffic Controllers went on strike in the 1980s, President Reagan gave them a date to return to work or they were fired, when the day came, those that didn't give up the strike were fired by Presidential Decree.   This might look like a small issue, but the events got the attention of the Kremlin, they saw Reagan was tough and would follow through.  Of course Biden cannot fire all the train workers who want to go on strike, it would take time to train new people, also he has to look at 2024 and also he cannot look weak to Putin, let's be honest no one has really called Biden OUT YET, this blog is waiting for North Korea to have another nuclear test, or Iran to declare it has the bomb, or for Putin to use a dirty bomb in the Ukraine or some other violent action that would require Biden to act.  One does really wonder what Ronald Reagan would make of Biden, in his diaries Reagan had not time for Biden and called him demagogue, let's see how Biden gets out of this domestic threat to the economy. 

NATO calls for more WINTER AID for the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.40am post the following, " 

Ukraine set for 'terrible winter', NATO admits as it discusses what it can do....

The bloc's chief Jens Stoltenberg will call on allies to pledge more winter aid for Kyiv, after Ukraine's president told residents to brace for another week of cold and darkness due to Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated by this blog and many others the Russians will take any chance they can to WIN their WAR in the Ukraine during the WINTER, they are want the people of the Ukraine to suffer through a BAD WINTER, they want the people to call for an end to the WAR on Russian terms.  The Kremlin is not reading the people of the Ukraine in correct way, the people of the Ukraine KNOW that if they lose this WAR they lose their Country, while in Russia, the Putin Regime would fall if it lost, but the Russian State would go on.  The West has to support the people of the Ukraine, through military aid to the Ukraine Army and battery operated heaters for the people of the whole of the Ukraine.   The Winter Battle might be the hardest for the people of the Ukraine, the Russian support for its troops is not that great, from ammo to winter kit. The Russians should recall the Finish War of 1940, when the Russians in military terms had their backsides kicked, although they won the war in the end.

What Europe thought about the early stages of the Russian Invasion of the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.54am post the following,  " Boris Johnson suggests Germany wanted war to be over quickly even if Ukraine had to 'fold' - and that France was 'in denial "

Lets Get Real:

Why is it always the Germans and the French you cannot trust to preserve the security of Western Europe.  If the Europe has listened to Berlin and Paris then the Russian Forces would have been in KYIV in days, it was the British who lead Europe on this, as we have dealt with tyrants before ( this is not a dig at the Germans and French ) and we have won.  If Putin had gotten way with the invasion of the Ukraine, then the Baltic States would have been next or Poland.  Let's recall that the Putin demands were for the roll back of NATO, and a weakened Europe.  Thus back to the present, the US and the West has to defend the Ukraine, it will be a testing time this winter for the people of the Ukraine, the Russian Bear has gone a destruction spree, the people will need support with energy so has to have heat and food.  Western Europe could also face problems with power, due to the sanctions on Russia.  Winter will show the true character of Europe, has it learned past lessons, does it have the character to deal with the NEW EVIL EMPIRE.

Iran and the bomb - Developing Crisis - Biden Era

CNN: Reports  " Nuclear watchdog says Iran enriching up to 60% at underground Fordow nuclear facility...Weapon-grade uranium is considered to have been enriched above 90%.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Tehran Regime is sending a CLEAR MESSAGE, that it is going nuclear, one can assume that Iran has been enriching weapon grade uranium in secret, the Tehran Regime has shown that it can lie and kill its own people will ease.  This is a fast developing crisis, one would not be shocked to wake up with breaking news that Iran has the bomb or that it has been bombed by the US or its Allies, in this case being Israel.  It can be stated that Israel will never allow IRAN to have the bomb, they have being saying this for years, one has to assume that Iran already has the bomb, and the latest news above is an attempt to slow walk to the the acceptance that Iran has the bomb.  The Biden Administration has failed to appease Iran with getting the Obama - Iran nuclear deal back on track, in that time Iran has used its time well.  The Tehran Government faces mass protests in the streets due its religious rule, the Tehran Regime might want to divert attention by going or getting the bomb.  The Biden Oval does not want another North Korea, thus better to deal with the problem NOW, and not regret it later.

Germany worried about escalation in the Ukraine War - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.50pm post the following, " Germany ‘must be ready for an escalation in Ukraine’, warns Scholz.....The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has warned his country must be prepared for the situation in Ukraine to escalate.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Germans are closer to the action, if they are worried about escalation then should ALL of Europe should also be, the Russians step by step are destroying the infrastructure of the power grid of the Ukraine, they want the people of the Ukraine to go through a HARD WINTER, make them turn on their leadership, the Russian level of EVIL has no bounds, they have as stated started an illegal war, committed and allowed their Soldiers to committee WAR CRIMES against the people of the Ukraine and are trying to destroy the structures of the STATE of the UKRAINE.   The West has a moral obligation to save the people of the Ukraine, if need be we have to consider sending in troops to protect the nuclear power stations of the Ukraine, it could lead to WW3, also it might force the Russians to STOP.  The West has allowed the Russians to set the agenda, it's about time we showed the BEAR a RED CARD. 

Division between UK PM and Chancellor over Brexit rewrite - After Boris/After Brexit

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.09pm post the following, " The Telegraph’s Christopher Hope suggests Jeremy Hunt himself was the source of the Sunday Times story saying the government wanted a Swiss-style relationship with the EU.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we have the allegation that it was the Chancellor pusing for a Swiss - style relationship with the EU, the TREASURY agenda is to get us back in to the EU, they were firmly in the REMAIN CAMP with their scare stories in the 2016 vote, and they are using the after effects of COVID - 19 and the WAR IN THE UKRAINE as a diversion to get us back in to the EU.  UK recent political history is full of rows between the No 10 and No 11.  The PM if he wants to keep the loyalty of the right of the Conservative Party needs to have a word with his Chancellor, the PM can't sack him, it would make the UK look MAD as  HATTER to have gone through a few Chancellors in the last few months, 3 at the last count if I recall, when Sunak resigned, he was replaced by PM Boris, after Liz Truss was elected she had a new Chancellor, and finally Sunak has placed Jeremy Hunt at No 11.  If there are rows between both me, it should be done behind close doors, otherwise the media will run with the story that the Government is falling apart.  Sunak is not my favourite PM, he backstabbed Boris, but he should be given a chance, if nothing else the economy needs stability.  Thus UK population has a HARD WINTER coming, in economic terms, thus they should expect stability in Government or the Conservatives might as well hand power to Sir Keir Starmer. 

No Changing the Brexit Deal - PM Sunak - After Brexit/After Boris

BBC News: Reports " Brexit: Rishi Sunak rules out deal that relies on EU law alignment  "

Lets Get Real:

The worry about Government policy towards Brexit started with the Sunday Times, it was TRIAL BALLOON for getting the UK closer the EU, one can assume that it came from the Treasury and the REMAIN ELITE in the Government.  The reaction to the idea was very negative, the hard right of the Conservative Party can take tax hikes that takes back to World War 2, but they will bring down a Government that tries to rewrite the BREXIT DEAL, that gets us close to the EU.  The Democratic vote of 2016 is still in effect also the 2019 general election, the voters did not know about the COVID - 19 then, or that the Russians were going to invade the Ukraine, it's up to the Government to work around these problems, not for the voter to change its mind.  The next election could be in January 2025, thus the Conservative Government has time to cut taxes and get BREXIT WORKING for the whole of the UK, and to hold its ground over the Northern Ireland Protocol. 

Iran DRONES to be BUILT on Russian Soil - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.09pm post the following, " Russia reaches agreement with Iran to build drones for Ukraine war - reports....Russia has reached an agreement with Iran to start making hundreds of drones on its home soil for use in the Ukraine war, according to The Washington Post.  "

Lets Get Real:

This DEAL shows how Russian is no longer a SUPER POWER, it has to cap in hand to Tehran and North Korea, the Putin invasion of the Ukraine has shown that the billions that Putin has spent on defence was a mirage, also when does a super power have to get people from jail to fight their WARS. Putin is on thin ice, one has to ask how long the Russian people will put up with WEAK LEADERSHIP from the Kremlin, if they demonstrate in 1917 and 1991, what is stopping them NOW, they now bear the guilt of the WAR CRIMES committed by Russia and Russian Soldiers.  If the people really cared about Russia, they would be out on the streets, trying to get rid of Putin, all they do is watch the PR from the Kremlin on their TV.  The Axis of Evil, Russia, Iran and North Korea have to be stopped, we need a new Reagan and Thatcher, great leaders who faced down the USSR and led to its downfall. 

Shelling at Zaporizhzhia, the Biggest Nuclear Plant in Western Europe - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Zaporizhzhia shelling: UN demands stop to fighting at Ukraine nuclear site "

Lets Get Real:

This could be a false flag operation by the Russians, after the Russian withdrawal from Kherson the Kremlin is looking to change the subject, thus it could be them bombing their own troops, create enough noise without causing a REAL PROBLEM.  Why would the KYIV Governemnt bomb their own nuclear plant, they want it back, also they would be in the Western bad books if they bombed a nuclear plant and their was a meltdown, you have to assume that the Russians are up to something ALL THE TIME.  Putin has created a disaster with the illegal invasion of the Ukraine, the Russians have lost ten of thousands of men, also they are going through their military kit at speed, thus the deal with the Tehran Regime for drones, cheaper and effective on the battlefield.  The US and the Ukraine has to stop Tehran sending the missiles to Russia if they can, otherwise this could be a very long war, and there is always a chance of World War 3 breaking out due to an attack on a NATO Country by accident or design. The new COLD WAR 2 is getting very frosty this WINTER.

Other Crisis - North Korea launches ICBM that could have reached the US - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " North Korea has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile with enough range to hit the US mainland, Japan's defence minister says.....The US has condemned the launch, while South Korea has ordered stronger deterrence measures against the North.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US really has to do something about North Korea, the Pyongyang Regime is pushing its luck, how many short and long range missiles does it have to launch before POTUS does something.   The security of the US is the main job of the President of the United States, the Biden Oval should make it clear, that if North Korea launches another long range missile then the US will shoot it down, and that if the North Korea has another nuclear test, the US will bomb the testing site, it's easier to have talks with North Korea when they understand that their games aver, and the US will not tolerate the actions of the Pyongyang any longer, the Bidne Oval has tried to TALK to North Korea and the reaction has been negative, North Korea thinks as long as China backs it, then the US will not do anything, the problem is that they are right, China is already fostering a NEW ASIA COLD WAR with the US over its military ambitions for Taiwan.  Thus  it is in the interest of China for the US to be diverted by the military games of North Korea, the US in their view will be weaker and thus might allow China to invade Taiwan, that would be a massive mistake by China, they would not be reading the tea leaves.  Biden wants a 2nd term, thus cannot allow for Chinese ambitions, thus the Biden Oval has two problem, North Korea and China, if the Biden Oval is strong with North Korea then China might get the message and back off. 

Trump declares 3rd Run for the US Presidency - Biden Era/General Election 2024

Sky News: Reports " Trump says he's back to 'make America great again' - now prepare for the mother of all fights....Mr Trump has made the first move; the first Republican to announce his candidacy for president. Prepare now for the mother of all internal power struggles. "

Lets Get Real:

NO,NO,NO, PLEASE NO, not another Trump campaign to become POTUS, 2016 was bad enough and he won, he lost 2020 to Biden and has never accepted the votes of the US public.  The Republican Party will go in to civil war, the D.C Establishment has to Crown ONE candidate to take on Trump, if there are lot of candidates then Trump wins, he holds around 30% of the Party, and that could be enough to give him the nomination.  The thought of another Biden vs Trump match up drives this blog to drink.  They are both to OLD and it is showing, Biden is not all there, and Trump is just self deluded and dangerous to the US national security.  If it comes down to these two candidates, then this blog will be supporting Biden, God Help the US and the West.

No World War 3, YET, over Polish Strike Last Night - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.09pm post the following, " The head of Nato - a military alliance of Western countries which opposes Russia's invasion of Ukraine - said there was "no indication" of any deliberate Russian attack, adding that the blast was "likely" caused by Ukrainian defences. His view echoes that of the Polish president  "

Lets Get Real:

As suggested in my post last night, the incident in Poland was down to a errant Ukraine missile that was chasing a Russian missile.  The West can breath again, but this might happen again, the Ukraine Forces need better air defences, also the West has to be careful that the Russian Bear does not understand the lesson of last night, they might think that the lack of a reaction shows that the West is WEAK and will not respond should Russia try to attack Western Defences.  President Putin is on the back foot after Kherson, he has sent another waves of missiles yesterday, this the problem last night, the Kremlin might try a direct attack on Western Assets to see what President Biden and the rest of the Western Leaders do, no quarter can be given to the Russians.  The Russian Bear is hurt, and wounded after Kherson, thus expect more reaction from Putin. 

The Biden Administration on the Polish Attack by Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

White House: Statement by the Biden National Security Council, on events in Poland, " We’ve seen the reports out of Poland and are working with the Polish government to gather more information. Shortly after receiving these reports, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with Chief of the National Security Bureau of Poland Jacek Siewiera...We cannot confirm the reports or any of the details at this time. We will determine what happened and what the appropriate next steps would be.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US and Allies will be checking with Poland as to how they view the debris from the missile hits, was it a errant Russian Missile, or a Russian Missile hit by Ukraine Forces that went over the border.  The US will be having close talks with KYIV, to see if they have any information of one of their missiles hitting a in coming Russian missile and that one going off course.  The Biden Oval has stated that it will defend every inch of NATO land, thus this incident might lead to an escalation if it was a planned Russian strike, if it was by accident, a Russian missile that was hit by Ukraine defence forces then it can be ridden out in public terms, the Allies might have to upgrade the Ukraine Defence Forces rockets, if the Russians are lying we have a WORLD OF TROUBLE, even WW3 can not be discounted, so in depth investigation by the Poles and the Allies. 

Russians DENY Missiles Attack on Poland - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.07pm post the following, " Russia denies any involvement in 'missile strike on Poland'....Russia has denied statements from Polish media outlets and officials that Russian missiles fell on the Polish village of Przewodó near the Ukrainian border.  "

Lets Get Real:

The hope is that the Ukraine hit the Russian missiles heading its way and the debris fell on Poland, killing two people, if the ATTACK was deliberate to see how NATO would react, then we have a problem, POTUS has stated over and over again that the US will defend every inch of NATO ground.  The impression one gets from the early news, is that the commentary wants it to be an accident, how two missiles is a accident is open to question, is the Russian tech that bad, or dated.  If this was attempt to see the NATO reaction, when we have a problem, Poland could it wanted to invoke Article 5, an attack on one is an attack on all, one hopes London and Biden Oval are in deep talks with the Poles, they do not want to be the new Czech Republic of 1938, the Russians pushing to see how far they can go before NATO reacts.  The Russians are already blaming the West for this incident, one has to recall that Putin wants to divert attention from Kherson, a fight if only in language would go down well with the Russian public.  This is a developing story, one does really hope that it does not lead to World War 3.

A NEW wave of Russian Missile Attacks on the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 2.14pm post, " The US ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget A Brink has described the series of attacks launched today by Russia on Ukraine as “another round of cruel attacks.”....She has tweeted to say....We will continue to stand with Ukrainians who have stayed strong in the face of Russia’s needless onslaught for months - and with those fighting to defend Ukraine.”  "

Lets Get Real:

The US NSA gives the impression that he wants to talk to the Russians, that is what the Russians want, they just want to talk to the US, they want to go back the old days, when the super powers alone decided what happened next.  The Ukraine victory in Kherson has to be countered in the view of the Russians, thus this new wave of attacks.  There can only be two results to the WAR, either the Ukraine wins with the support of the West, or the Russians win and we start the road to WW3.  The Biden Oval will have to get the drinks out if the Republicans take the House and get the moderate or Reagan Republican over for a drink, get them to support Biden Aid package to the Ukraine.  It can be argued that a lot of the new Republican members are on the same page as Trump, thus slow to pay for aid for the Ukraine, they might need Presidential pressure to support the US against Russia.  Also it  is expected today that Trump will announce his third run at the White House, the Biden Oval has to frame Trump as weak on national security and danger to the DEMOCRACY of the US, if Biden runs then this blog will support him against Trump any time.

The Republicans to TAKE the HOUSE - 2022 Mid Terms - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Republicans are one seat away from securing the 218 members they need to take control of the House chamber with key wins projected in Arizona and California late Monday.  "

Lets Get Real:

Let's assume the Republicans pick up the one seat they need, the CNN Label is starting to get on my nut, why are they behind RCP and the LIBERAL New York Times, they both have the Republicans on 2017 and CNN on 215, it is as if they do not want to displease their viewership.  CNN's early show is the toilet anyway WITH its ratings, they need to be seen as the Channel that gets the NEWS first, not waiting for everybody else to announce the results.  One can assume that the Biden Agenda is DEAD in the HOUSE, in less Biden can pick a few Republicans to support his aid to the Ukraine.  One still hopes that there are Reagan National Security types in the HOUSE after the Mid Terms.  The Winter is coming to the Ukraine, one can expect the WAR to calm down a bit, that allows the Russians to train their troops and give them update weapons, while the Kyiv Government can get new supplies from the West.  The Biden Administration should be ready to be investigated every way possible, HUNTER BIDEN should get some very good and expensive lawyers, the HARD NUTS of Republican membership will be looking to charge him for something, and if possible link it to his FATHER, POTUS.  The 2024 Race starts today, if as expected Donald Trump announces that he is running for a 3rd time, his losses during the Mid Terms would make most politicians wait, not the Donald, he needs the spotlight, the Republicans need a new face, what about the Governors of Virginia and Florida, thus that would be an interesting race. 

The Democrats KEEP the SENATE - Mid Terms - Biden Era/2024 Cycle Starts

BBC News: Reports " The Democrats will retain majority control of the US Senate after winning a pivotal race in the state of Nevada.....Republicans could still take control of the US House of Representatives as votes continue to be tallied... "

Lets Get Real:

The Mid Terms were a rebuke for Donald Trump and the Republican Party, the Trump has destroyed the national security, low taxes, small government agenda of Ronald Reagan, a great President.  The Republicans could still take the House, but his blog is not counting on that, the results so far have been dire for the Republicans.  On the whole POTUS can smile, the best result a President has had in decades, but, and there is always a BUT, the Democrats have to worry if Biden is heads the ticked in 2024 and the Republicans chose any one but TRUMP, this blog endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, if the Republican Party can get its ACT TOGETHER, then this blog might look again at the Republicans.  POTUS has a 40% approval rating, the US has high inflation, and wages are not matching inflation.  POTUS should have LOST THE CONGRESS, the US voter did not trust the Republicans in charge and under the influence of Trump, thus the vote in the Mid Terms for the Democrats.  Both Parties have a lot of soul searching to do before 2024.

Surrender Terms for Putin from the West ? - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Putin 'has been offered surrender terms by the West' as he loses control of Kherson - and 'his cronies have reacted positively because it allows them to stay in power and avoid criminal charges'...Plan would see Russia give up all territory in Ukraine except Crimea, which would become demilitarised zone  "

Lets Get Real:

One doubts that Putin would agree to such a DEAL, he would be finished in Russia, how will he explain the deaths and wounding of at least a hundred thousand soldiers.  This is the kind of number that is HARD TO COVER UP, and the idea that he would give up the Crimea is for the birds, Putin invaded the Crimea in 2014 and he sees CRIMEA as the real part of Russia, it was only given to the Ukraine in 1954 as a matter of friendship.  Also the Ukraine was part of the USSR, thus Russia was the USSR in political terms.  Of course Putin might want to take such a DEAL, the sanctions would go away, and he could rebuild his Army, the destruction of Russian Forces in the Ukraine has greatly damaged Russian stores of tanks etc, they are getting drones from another terrorist state, that being Iran, also North Korea is helping them out with ammo.  The War with the Ukraine has shown that Russia is no longer a superpower in the convention sense, it has nukes, but one hopes that never comes up for discussion in the Kremlin. 

KYIV Gov urges Russian Soldiers in Kherson to give up - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.58pm post the following, " 

Ukraine urges Russian troops to give themselves up...

Moscow is saying its troops have left the city of Kherson, but Ukrainian officials appear suspicious. ....Reports have emerged of some troops being left behind during the withdrawal, with some changing into civilian clothing.   "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians have gotten out very fast, a bit to fast, it does leave one with the suspicion that Putin is up to something no good, he could use the new Russian positions to fire at Kherson day and night, he could have placed Russian Special Forces in Kherson to cause havoc when the Ukraine troops come in to the area.  Also we have to look at the extreme, that a dirty bomb could be tested in Kherson, on the logic, if Russian cannot have it, then the Ukraine Forces will have to deal with a radiation falling on them.  The Ukraine Forces will also have to deal with Russians who have not gotten over the river, will they fight or swim for it, thus can be taken out by Ukraine drones.  The Russia Bear is sneaky, it will react to this defeat, also Putin has to show that he is STRONG MAN, he will do something nasty in the future.  This is one of the worst moments in in Russian history, and that includes the USSR invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.

Kherson taken by Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 1.47pm post, " Ukraine has hailed an "important victory" after Russian troops withdrew from the southern city of Kherson....In the centre of Kherson Ukrainian flags fly high above the regional administration building - it isn't fully clear who is in control in Kherson but the Ukrainian flags suggest Russian presence in the city is no longer visible  "

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine Forces should be careful when they enter Kherson, there could be Russian Soldiers in ordinary clothes ready to shoot at them, also there might be mines placed around Kherson, it will take time to clear the City of these threats.  Also the Ukraine Forces should be ready for the Russian Forces to shoot missiles at Kherson from their new defence position, this is just over the Dnipro River, also one has to keep in mind that the Russians just might use a dirty bomb in Kherson, and try to blame the Ukraine Force.  One can see why the Biden Oval is trying to get the KYIV Gov to talk to Putin's Russia, the Russian leader might want a way out that it not a total disgrace, the Kyiv Government should be clear with the West that it will not be pushed around, the Ukraine Government wants ALL of its land back, and that includes the CRIMEA.  The Winter will come soon, then battles should cease due to the winter, the Russian Army will need to be rebuilt, the new troops should be trained before being sent in to battle.  The Ukraine Forces special forces should try to hit the Russians at their back, this is a long WAR OF ATTRITION. 

Do the Russians really want talks with the Ukraine ? - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog:  Reports the following in its 5.14pm post, " 

Russia 'ready to negotiate with Ukraine'.....

While Russia has insisted for some time that it is keen to enter into negotiations with Ukraine, the news of its imminent withdrawal from Kherson casts the more recent statements in a different - and potentially more significant - light.  "

Lets Get Real:

At the start the Russians wanted to keep the areas they had invaded in the Ukraine, also the CRIMEA, that NATO would roll back and that new NATO members would be forced out of NATO.   The idea that Russians want REAL TALKS, is for the birds or appeasers in the Biden Oval.  There can only be two outcomes, either the West wins, e.g the Ukraine gets its land back, and that includes the Crimea or Putin wins.  Anything else is just giving what Putin wants, he is on the back foot, he might need a way out, he might be in a tight spot after leaving Kherson ( if that is a real withdrawal ) or will it be a justification for Putin to use a dirty bomb in the Ukraine.  Even Putin one assumes does not want to drop the BOMB on his own soldiers.  The Ukraine Forces are taking the fight to the Russians, why should they back down, if they make a mistake, they lose their Country, while Putin just adds more land to the his Great Russia mindset.  The West should not place pressure on the Ukraine to surrender. 

The Kherson FACTOR Part 2 - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Russia's military has been ordered to pull out of the Ukrainian city of Kherson, the only regional capital it captured after invading in February....their decision to pull back across the Dnipro river was treated with caution by Ukrainian officials.  "

Lets Get Real:

The KYIV Government should be be very wary of this action by the Russians, it was done staged and public manner, it has been reported that Russian Soldiers have removed their uniforms in Kherson and have gone back to their civi clothes, this would allow them to shoot on in coming Ukraine Forces and then record the Ukraine Forces firing back at buildings.  The Russian Bear does not play by the rules of WAR, they have done horrid WAR CRIMES in the Ukraine, so this move could be a very smart faint, draw in Ukraine Forces and make them fight for every building in Kherson or declare that since Russian Forces have been removed and the people have been warned to leave, that Kherson is open to a free fire order.  The Ukraine Forces should send it Special Forces to check the area out, also use their drones to check on if they will be fired on if they entre Kherson. 

Republican House Control ? - US Mid Terms - Biden Era

NBC News: Reports  on its projection for control of the House, " Though NBC News cannot project control of the House at this time, the Decision Desk has released its estimate for the U.S. House of Representatives as a whole, which reflects the most probable outcome for partisan control.."

Lets Get Real:

In their projection based on the present vote the Republicans take the House my a very small majority, in fact 4 SEATS, thus the if the NEW Speaker is a Republican he will have to keep a tight control on is members.  It only takes four or five of them to join the other side on different issues for the majority to disappear.  One can assume that Ukraine funding is SAFE, the Democrats it would assume can count on old style National Security Republicans, not followers of Trump to support the AID from the US to the Ukraine.  Also with such a small majority it will survive for two years, people resign, get ill etc, thus the Democrats should be ready to take back control.  The Biden Oval will be very happy, if the results follow through this will be smallest loss by President in decades, one can assume that the Senate will go Democratic, either by Seats or by the VP have the final vote should it be a 50/50 split.  Thus the race for 2024 starts NOW, Biden might like his chances for re-election, even more so if the Republican nominee is Donald Trump, that would be a mistaken conclusion, two years is a long time, and Biden might lose support, thus POTUS really has to think, does he want a 2nd term, what if the Republicans chose the newly re-elected Governor of Florida, younger than Biden, more the Trump agenda, without the FLAWS of TRUMP. 

US and Russia in TALKS to prevent a nuclear accident happening in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has confirmed communication channels between Washington and Moscow remain open......Mr Sullivan - who is said to be one of the most senior advisers to US President Joe Biden still pushing for discussions with Russia  "

Lets Get Real:

This has the whiff of appeasement, there were diplomats that believed they could talk to Hitler, and later with the USSR, they were both wrong, thus we had World War 2 and the Cold War.  It took leaders like Churchill and Reagan to show the right path, Churchill by winning World War 2 and Reagan calling out the USSR as an EVIL EMPIRE and out spending the Soviet Union.  There were reports in the US press that the Biden Administration was seeking to have the KYIV Government talk to Putin's Kremlin, we know who that came from, does Mr Sullivan not see an EVIL REGIME when he sees on, has he not seen the WAR CRIMES in the Ukraine, no wonder Biden WEAK, the Oval has to be firm with Putin, any weakness and the Putin will wait out the Biden Administration and use even more violence in the Ukraine.  This blog had hoped that the Democrats had turned over a new leaf, and were strong on national security, that has to be in question NOW.

Sky looks at the Presidential Approval other Presidents during the Mid Terms - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.43pm post the following, " Democratic strategists have admitted they are limiting President Joe Biden's appearances in battleground states.....They are worried about his abysmal approval rating, which is the lowest on record for any president ahead of their first midterm elections. Mr Biden has now been president for just under 660 days.  "

Lets Get Real:

If you looked at past Presidents, only President Reagan had the lowest level support during his first mid terms, before Biden came along.  Thus Biden White House can argue, that Reagan came back in 1984 and won 49 States, 59% of the vote and 525 electoral votes, and Biden can do the same, from his 40% approval at the moment.  LET'S BE CLEAR, Biden is not fit enough to clean President Reagan's old golf shoes, Reagan was a great President, he would have made sure that the Ukraine was never invaded and called the USSR the EVIL EMPIRE, neither Obama or Biden did this before the Russian invasion in 2014 and now in 2022, there are reports in the weekend press that that the Biden appeasers want KYIV to talk to Putin's Kremlin, they are worried about the allies, that some are weaker in their support than the US.  One can postulate that this is down to Foggy Bottom, in other words the US State Department, they always want to appease.  It would be wise for Mrs B to tell Joe it's time Joe, you have been Vice - President and President, do not run again. The Democrats should have a fair chance to nominate someone else, younger! 

Endorsement for the Democratic NY Governor by POTUS - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.50pm post the following, President Biden in New York, " He was there to support Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul who faces an unexpectedly strong Republican challenge from Lee Zeldin to become the state's first Republican governor since George Pataki left office in 2006.  "

Lets Get Real:

The fact that POTUS has to be in a BLUE STATE, a very BLUE STATE, shows how the Democrats might have missed managed this campaign, they hoped that abortion was the ticket to win for them, but when people cannot afford food from the store and inflation is outpacing their wages, the voter will be looking for someone to BLAME, and since the Democrats are in power the buck stops with them.  It would be a foolish to make a prediction, but that is what political blogs DO:  Thus one can postulate that the Republicans will take the House, I do not think a balanced Democrat  would argue with that, if the losses can be kept under 30 that might be a good night for the Democrats, over 30 or 40 and it's a wave for the Republicans, in both cases the Republicans take the House.  In the Senate it's even a present, with the casting vote for the VP when each side vote together and need a tie breaker.  It can be postulated that the Republicans MIGHT take the Senate by ONE or TWO Seats.  Either way POTUS should expect to be investigated every day for the next two years, Hunter Biden should hire very good and expensive lawyers, the Republicans will be after him in till 2024.  For political geeks, ( this blog ) it will be fun night, let's see who wins. 

The Axis of Evil, Russia and Iran - Biden Era

CNN: Reports " Exclusive: Iran is seeking Russia’s help to bolster its nuclear program, US intel officials believe  "

Lets Get Real:

The growing relationship between Iran and Russia should make those appeasers in the Biden Administration be very wary of a renewal of the Obama - Iran nuclear deal, the Tehran Regime was never going to play fair, it has been stated that it would take weeks for the Tehran to get the BOMB, well that comments was weeks ago, one can postulate that Tehran NOW has the bomb, the problem being how to place it on a missile.  One assumes MOSAD is on the tail of Iran's nuclear progress and will tell the CIA, MI6 when Iran has a the ability to place a nuclear warhead on a missile.  The Russians have been getting very effective drones from Iran in their WAR in the Ukraine, neither side can be trusted, one is just waiting for the last member of the Axis of Evil to have a nuclear test, that being North Korea.  The World could get very dangerous over the Christmas period, one just feels it in one's bones, something is going to happen, a Russian dirty bomb in the Ukraine, North Korea doing a nuclear test or a military operation against South Korea or Iran declaring to the World that it is a nuclear power, that would be good PR for the Tehran Regime, it will counter the protests on the streets. Does anyone believe that POTUS is really up to the above mentioned. 

Other CRISIS Part 2 - North Korea - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " South Korea scrambles fighter jets after detecting 180 North Korean warplanes near border......The manoeuvres came after North Korea fired more than 80 rounds of artillery into the sea overnight.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the tensions in Asia have grow, North Korea has launched missiles, a ICBM test that failed, and NOW they are putting planes close to the Southern Border.  This can only mean one thing, that the North is about to a NUCLEAR TEST, the first in five years.  This endless show, is just that, if North Korea ever attacked the South, it would break the Armistice between UN Forces and North Korea, it would lead to the fall of the North Korean Regime, plus there are US troops there, at present the US military and South Korea military are having military drills, the US and its Allies would destroy North Korea if it used its vast army.  If North Korea was to hit South Korea with the BOMB, then the US would destroy North Korea, even the sand left would have radiation that would last hundred of years.  The North Koreans are ALL SHOW, and no substance, they will never act, the West and South Korea should just ignore North Korea.

The Kherson FACTOR - Ukraine - Russian War - Bide Era

BBC News: Reports " The city of Kherson on the Black Sea coast was the biggest prize seized by Russia in the first month after its invasion on 24 February. Now there are suggestions that Russia might be about to give up at least part of it as it prepares defensive lines for the winter.  "

Lets Get Real:

The reports from the Ukraine state that the Kyiv Forces are weary of the talk that suggests that the Russians Forces have left Kherson or about to leave.  They see it as a Russian TRAP, get Ukraine Forces to commit then attack them by having secret forces in Kherson, getting rid of their uniforms and looking like the civilians of the CITY.  Also they could be waiting to get the Ukraine forces in and then attack them with their heavy forces outside of the city.  It has been reported that North Korea is sending defence equipment to Russia, this could be useful to Putin, the Russians must be running out of their own military kit.  Thus KYIV should be very wary, it might be a good idea to send in covert forces, to check out Kherson, let's see if the reports are on the up, and that the Russians are not just waiting biding their time.  Also KYIV has to deal with the problem of DRONES from IRAN, the AXIS of EVIL has grown, North Korea, Iran and Russia, one fears one day to hear that they have formed an alliance.   North Korea has a nuclear test, Iran declares itself a nuclear power and the Russians drop a dirty bomb on the Ukraine, the West has to be very wary. 

The Republicans and the Ukraine War - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 3.33pm post about the up - coming Mid Terms in the US, " Public support for US assistance to Ukraine as it battles Russia's invasion is becoming a highly partisan issue, with a new poll showing that nearly half of Republicans believe the US is doing "too much" to help.  "

Lets Get Real:

We are through the looking glass folks, when the Democrats mostly are the hawks on US National Security and the Republicans voters are the doves when it comes to defending the Ukraine and therefore western security.  The Republican Party is not the Party of Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, they would be appalled to see that the Republican Party has become a CULT OF TRUMP, there are reports that the Donald will declare he is a candidate after the Mid Terms.  The Democrats cannot have Biden as their nominee, even hard core Democrats must have doubts about Biden, is he up to the job, it's the same argument they used about Trump, when you open that pandora box you cannot be shocked if the arguments you used then come back and bite you on your backside, in the 2024 Presidential Election POTUS cannot hide is his Delaware bunker, what if the Republicans have the sanity not to nominate Trump but a younger version of Trump, someone who is stable and does not frighten the horses or the dogs.  POTUS cannot wait till then, the Democrats who want to run, will need some advance warning, so POTUS will come under pressure to decide after the Mid Terms, if the Republicans win the House, then they will start to investigate how much money goes to the Ukraine  and how it is spent. Also they will investigate Hunter Biden, if they find anything illegal, he parked his car in a wrong manner, they will go AFTER HIM, the same detail search as the Democrats have done over January 6th. Both Bidens better be clean, or expect the Republicans will hit hard back.  The Democrats will need to fund the Ukraine in the lame duck session of the Congress, that means spending billions on the Ukraine, to prevent the Republicans halting the process.
