A State Funeral for Gorbachev ? - Putin's Russia

Daily Mail: Reports " Gorbachev funeral poses potential nightmare for the West - and Putin - with Ukraine war preventing statesmen or world leaders travelling to Moscow to pay respects "

Lets Get Real:

The above article is right, the idea of Western Leaders going to Moscow is out of the question, how could they go with the WAR IN THE UKRAINE, also this blog does not trust that the leaders would be secure in Moscow, Putin does not play fair or understand the rules.  Of course Putin could play games with the West, declare that Gorbachev will have a State Funeral, thus forcing Western Leaders to decline going, so Putin gets the benefit of looking to Russians like a Statesman.   The Western Leaders should hold a memorial for Gorbachev either in Washington D.C, London or Berlin.  This would show that the West was showing respect to a great leader, while showing to Russians that their leader is a rogue leader in charge of a rogue nation.  Reagan, Thatcher had a State Funerals, so Gorbachev deserves his to be a State Funeral, the West was lucky in the 80s to have Reagan in the Oval, Thatcher in No 10 and Gorbachev in the Kremlin, what ever the majority of Russians think. 

Will Former President Trump need a Presidential Pardon ? - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Documents stored at former President Donald Trump's Florida home were likely concealed as part of an effort to obstruct an FBI investigation, Department of Justice officials say.  " 

Lets Get Real:

It will not be the US Attorney General who decides to charge the former President, it will be the current President, who should remember that if the Republicans take the House, they can start to investigate Hunter Biden, that is the last thing that President Biden should want, if any criminal leads from Hunter Biden goes to his father, then Biden could be in a HOT WATER, deep trouble.  Thus as the grown up in the room, Biden should offer to PARDON Trump if he promises not to run in 2024, and then Biden will not have to run.  If the above were to happen then the Republicans will not have the need to impeach Biden if they take the House.  The above asks for grown ups to be in the room, Reagan in his diaries called Biden a demagogue, thus his recent remarks that the Republicans are fascists, who in the room is going to tell Biden to grow up, American democracy could be at stake.
