" President " Manchin SPEAKS on the filibuster - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

It seems that the Senate Democrats cannot count, they do not have the votes to get rid of the filibuster or to make major changes to it, Manchin has spoken, it is not going to happen, the West Virginian Senator wants co-operation with the Republicans, the Senator is right to be concerned, the Democrats could be in the minority after the Mid Terms, who cuts off their own legs for just short term base gain.  The Democrats have to remember, BIDEN is no LBJ or Bill Clinton, he cannot get BBB over the line, Obama got ObamaCare through at the cost of losing the Congress, Biden poll numbers are in the toilet and going down the to sewers, he might not have to think about running in 2024, his polls could be so BAD that he withdraws fearing what a LOSS would be like to his legacy.  The Democrats should be looking at smaller packages that have the support of Manchin not looking to the base that is FAR LEFT and not in the middle of America. Politics is about counting after all.

Russia creating reason to INVADE the Ukraine - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

The Russians are just playing this out, they want to show the Russian people that they tried all peace full means before going to WAR in the Ukraine.  President Putin wants to return to the World were the old USSR had influence and control of Eastern Europe, before the break up of the WARSAW PACT, this is not going to happen, its a ACT from Russia, they must know that if they tried anything in the Baltic States or Poland it could lead to World War 3.  The Ukraine is the best chance for Putin to rebuild the OLD USSR, he has a problem, Biden cannot afford another foreign policy disaster just before the Mid Terms in the US and he cannot promise anything in public or secret, Putin will be aware what happened to Khrushchev after his secret deal with Kennedy on the Turkish missiles after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Khrushchev was seen to have backed down to the West and was removed as leader of the USSR.   Thus Biden has to stand FIRM and block Putin, one has to blink or we could see a major WAR in Europe, nothing seen since World War 2. 

US REACTION to Russia Demands - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in it 10.48am post the following, " The US has promised to respond in writing to Russia's proposals for sweeping security guarantees it wants from the West, the RIA and Interfax news agencies cited a source as saying on Tuesday....However, RIA cited a source as saying that Washington did not want to discuss Ukraine's desire to join NATO without Kiev being involved in the talks.  "

Lets Get Real:

This shows that Biden does not want to do a Turkey sell out as JFK did in the Cuban Missile Crisis and it remind secret for decades, also he does not want to be another Neville Chamberlain, Ukraine will not be the Czechs who were sold out by the British in 1938.  The Russians or least Putin must understand that his demands cannot be met, that the history cannot be reversed back to 1997, before the Eastern European Members of NATO joined.  Thus it has to be postulated that Putin is looking for the TALKS to fail, and then to invade the Ukraine, well at least East Ukraine and absorb that in to the Russian Federation.  The question is what will the Biden Ova do, it has threatened heavy sanctions against Russia if it invades, and the sanctions would start at the top.  Also to send military equipment to the Ukraine as to allow it to defend itself, this final THREAT might make Putin think again, he doe not want to see hundred of dead Russians coming back; it has been reported that Russians have dug ditches for their dead should the Russians invade; that is something that he could not HIDE as he does now.  Of course there is always the chance that Putin has gone barmy and does not care about the reaction of the West, if that is the case, it will be a very COLD winter ahead.
