EU reaction to the changes in the Northern Ireland Protocol - After Brexit


Lets Get Real:

This is an overreaction by the EU, it is typical of them, they still cannot get the FACT that the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016 and did so after the 2019 Election.  The UK House of Commons has the final say.  There will be those on the LEFT who expect the 140 Conservative MPs who voted no confidence in the PM to come out against the new changes.  That would be a mistaken view, the Conservative MPs voted in secret, and voting to support the EU will not go down well with its local associations, and if Tory rebels are thinking of rebelling the PM should state its a confidence vote in the Government, in other words you are voting to bring down the Government. MPs on the whole do not putting their political careers on the line, and the vote will be recorded, so they cannot hide, if some do rebel they can be thrown out of the Party, and not allowed to stand as a Conservative MP in the 2024 General Election or when the PM decides to call the election, the Conservative Government removed the Fixed Parliament Act, thus the power is in the hands of the PM.  The UK voter does not have much time for the EU, thus a TRADE WAR, is what the PM could need to unite the Party and force MPs back in to line.   

Severodonetsk Update - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2


Lets Get Real:

If POTUS wants to run in 2024 he better get his head out of the sand when it comes to East Ukraine, he has already lost Afghanistan to the Taliban and in the process got 13 US military service personnel killed.  If Putin's Kremlin takes the South East Ukraine and absorbs it in to Russia then Biden can kiss goodbye to 2024 and the Democrats holding the Congress this November.  The US Defence Department needs to send billions of more arms and weapons, even the heavy stuff, long range missiles otherwise the Ukraine will be split, the West will have to deal with a BROKEN Country and help rebuild it, while the the Kremlin tries to destroy what is left of the Ukraine.  Thus political and moral action go hand in hand, POTUS must ACT and FAST or he and the Democratic Party are toast. One does hope that the Biden political staff in the White House know something about international politics and the consequences of FAILURE, they should have a word with Jimmy Carter, the failed President that none of his successors wanted to be, a one term President.  In that One term club have been Hoover, Carter, Bush 43 and Trump.  It should be noted that LBJ did five years, becoming President on the death of JFK in November 1963,  and winning in 1964 but deciding not to run in 1968 due to the Vietnam War, Nixon won a 2nd term in 1972 but resigned in 1974 due to Watergate, Gerald Ford become President after the resignation of Nixon, going down to defeat in 1976 to Jimmy Carter.  The second set of Presidents can be seen as failures, that no one wants to follow.
