US and Iran Navies Clash in the Strait of Hormuz - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " US Navy warship fires warning flare after Iranian fast attack boat almost CRASHES into it: Three military speed boats buzz the USS Sirocco in latest tense stand-off in Strait of Hormuz  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden White House has told Senators from both Parties that the Obama Nuclear Deal is on the way out.  While the Biden Oval dithers about what to do, one assumes that Israel will never allow IRAN to go nuclear, in that view one assumes the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia also agree.  The US under Biden would like a DEAL, but the costs outweigh the benefits at present, the Tehran Regime wants the US to remove ALL sanctions, and allow it to fund terror groups, while Biden must know that that Iran is close to getting nuclear material for the bomb.  At some point something has to give, either the Tehran Government gets real and does a proper deal or the US and its ALLIES will have to take action, that could lead to a reginal war, if the US acts alone, one assumes that Tehran will not try to drag in other Countries, the US is bad, a US having to defend its ALLIES could be worse, the very existence of the Tehran Regime would be at risk.  Tense days ahead. 

Ukraine will win the WAR with Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 11.10am post the following, " 'Knockout blow will come' - retired US General says.....Despite being hugely outnumbered in terms of artillery, Ukrainian troops "will increasingly gain the advantage" as advanced Western weapons arrive at the front lines, a retired US general says.  "

Lets Get Real:

After ALL the billions that the US and the West has given the Kyiv Government one can hope that the the Ukrainian Forces can take the fight to the Russians.  The Ukrainian Army is making the Russians pay for every inch of Ukraine land they take, but that is not enough, the Russians with their forces limited to South East Ukraine are gaining ground, the Ukraine Forces are being pushed back, thus the Biden Oval has to increase the arms and weapons that are sent to the Ukraine, and make sure they get there in time to help the KYIV forces.  POTUS also has to help Lithuania, the Russians are making threats after the Lithuanian Government went along with EU sanctions on Russia.  Thus the US should battle ready troops in to the area to protect LITHUANIA, they are part of the EU and NATO.  The WAR in the Ukraine could take YEARS, a lot of it trench warfare, like WW1, the Allies only won in 1918 because the US had sent fresh new forces and were ready to action, they also bought the Spanish Flue. 

Russia THREAT to Lithuania - Ukraine - Russia War - New Cold War 2

BBC News: Reports " Russia has warned Lithuania of "serious" consequences after it banned the rail transfer of some goods to the Russian territory of Kaliningrad.  "

Lets Get Real:

Let's recall that Lithuania is part of the EU and NATO, the EU sanctions are the reason that Russian goods cannot go through Lithuania to get to Kalingrad.  This story has been around for a FEW DAYS, but this blog does not actually like speculation, in till something happens.  The thought that Russia would take action against Lithuania is for the birds, Putin would never want to cause WW3 by attacking Lithuania or creating problems for it, as that would allow them to invoke Article 5 of NATO, an attack on one is an attack on all.  On the other hand this blog did not think that Putin would invade the Ukraine, and of course he did in February of this year.  Also Putin really wants to reform the band, e.g the USSR or Imperial Russia, and a major crisis would force Biden to have a CRISIS Summit with Putin, the Russian leader wants to return to the era when the two powers decided the futures of Nations, or 1938.  This is why POTUS has to arm the KYIV to the hilt, whatever they want, he cannot be seen as WEAK when dealing with the Russians.  Still as stated this blog thinks this story goes nowhere, the costs could be to much for Putin's Russia.
