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

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.45pm post the following, " ( Gorbachev ) ....won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 for negotiating a historic nuclear arms pact with the US president Ronald Reagan, and his decision to withhold the Soviet army when the Berlin Wall fell a year earlier was seen as key to preserving Cold War peace, AFP reports.  "

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.

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

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.10pm post the following, " Where is the fighting around Kherson?...Kherson is a key city, serving as a bridge to Crimea - an area which was annexed by Russia in 2014.  "

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.
