A Near hit at another Ukraine Nuclear Plant - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

The Russians are playing with FIRE, this is the 2nd nuclear plant they have either hit or taken over.  The Russian reversal in the North East Ukraine has shown how badly the Russian Forces have behaved, the original plan for a quick victory against KIYV did not work as planned, also the Kremlin did not get right the Western reaction to the invasion, the Russians have the troops, the West has the technology to make sure that Russian never wins this WAR.  The failure in the North East of the Ukraine has placed Putin on the back foot, there is the worry that he might use a tactical nuclear weapon to make a point to the KYIV Government, Russia has been warned off by the Biden Oval.   The bombing of nuclear plants is MAD, is the Kremlin trying to cause a nuclear accident and then blame the KYIV Government, or are Russian troops just firing at what they want to fire at, that would be more of a worry, one gets the feeling that something big is going to happen, the Russians want payback for the North East retreat, let's hope is not a nuclear payback, the World would then be in REAL TROUBLE. 

US to defend Taiwan Against Chinese Attack - POTUS - Biden Era/King Charles III Era

Sky News: Reports "  US forces 'would defend Taiwan' in face of Chinese invasion, Joe Biden says in candid interview....The United States has long stuck to a policy of "strategic ambiguity" and not made clear whether it would respond militarily to an attack.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is not the first time that POTUS has putt his foot in his mouth, the Chinese will not be happy, they might even try more military drills close and around Taiwan.  The US policy is either strategic ambiguity over what the US would do should China take action, or that the US will defend the Island. If your in China you are getting a CLEAR MESSAGE, that as long as Biden is POTUS, any action by them will be meet by a US reaction.  The White House can only walk back so many times a remark by the US President, either POTUS keeps his mouth shut or US policy has changed, and the US will protect Taiwan against any Chinese action. In trying not to be CLEAR, the US Foreign Establishment is causing more problems that could lead China to take action.  Who is in charge of US Foreign Policy, the American President or State Department diplomats, who should not be trusted, they did not want President Reagan to say in his famous Berlin Speech that Mr Gorbachev should tear down the Berlin Wall.  Its the same with the FCO in the UK, they tend to appease, and cannot be trusted to follow the orders of No 10.  On this POTUS is right, the US should defend Taiwan with troops, that is a clear warning to China.
