Trump angry with Putin over the Ukraine - Trump 47

 BBC News: Reports that in remarks from an interview with NBC, President Trump has stated the following, " Trump 'very angry' with Putin over ceasefire negotiations "

Lets Get Real:

It is about time Trump smelled the coffee and the Russia Bear close by, Russia is not a friend of the US and Europe, it is the enemy, it invaded the Ukraine in 2022 and still there, droning every night.  It is about time Trump placed sanctions on Putin, the Russian President thinks he has Trump as a pawn, and will agree with all his demands.  Is this a new day?   The Russian President has played ever US President since Bill Clinton, he is Mr KGB, he play's on every Presidential weakness, wanting to be seen as a peacemaker and great, Trump is the latest, we shall see what Moscow makes of the change.

Ukraine under UN rule ?- Putin - Trump47

No Relaxing of Sanctions - Sir Keir Starmer - Ukraine - Russia War - Trump47

 BBC News: Reports " Starmer accuses Putin of 'playing games' over Ukraine peace deal "

Lets Get Real:

Putin makes more demands after he has agreed to a deal, it is an old Russian tactic.  The Russians had agreed a deal with the US over a ceasefire in the Black Sea, but after the White House released information on the deal, there came demands for sanctions to be released.   Sir Keir is calling fore more tougher sanctions, on this the Labour PM is right, its the rest of Europe that worries this blog, will they want to appease Russia, time will tell, a new security dawn has developed, the US under Trump is no longer the security guarantee it was, times change and show must our perceptions.

Lets Get Real:

This is when the car hits the road, will the UK and France follow through with the troops on the ground, troops and air cover.  The French are talking about a reassurance force, sounds soft to this blog, and the UK wants the US involvement, Trump has been pretty clear that is not going to happen.   This is 1947 all over again but in reverse, the US is saying it will not defend the Ukraine, and that it will be up to the Brits and the coalition of the wiling.   Why Sir Keir has to use that term, reminds one of Iraq in 2003.  This is time to show some backbone, stand up to Putin.

BBC News: Reports in its 10.22am post that Sir Keir Starmer, the UK PM has stated that Putin will eventually have to come to the Peace table.

Lets Get Real:

The UK PM is having a video conference of the coalition of the willing to defend the Ukraine, Sir Keir does not trust Putin in any peace deal, a good idea, one can assume that he does not trust Trump much either, any peace deal will need NATO and European Troops to guard it, Putin is delaying any peacekeeping in till his troops can grab more land, this could take some time. Developing.

Sky News Reports in its 3.40pm post that President Macron of France has stated that President Putin can not be allowed delay a ceasefire in the Ukraine - Russian War.

Trump's Middle East Envoy to visit Moscow this week - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 2.19pm post that Trump's Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will visit Moscow this week.

Lets Get Real:

One does wonder what concessions the Ukraine had to make to keep the man - child Trump happy and Putin.  One doubts that Trump will give the military aid that Biden had promised the Ukraine, also unfreeze the Intelligence that the Ukraine needs to survive.  The Kremlin will want major concessions, that the Crimea will remain Russian, and that the Ukrinian areas taken by Russia, will remain Russian.  Thus the cost of Appeasement, what will be next?

BBC News: Reports in its 9.33am post that the Russians show no sign of compromise and will fight on.

Lets Get Real:

The US and Ukraine will meet tomorrow in Saudi Arabia, the Ukraine will suggest a partial ceasefire, it will cover the sea and air, Russia in the past has dismissed such a idea, with Trump being a pawn of Russia, what more will he demand for Russia.   Thus far Trump has demand nothing of Russia, as this blog has suggested Saudi Arabia could be the new Munich 1938, giving Russia what it wants, a vassal state with no defences, thus allowing Russia to invade later on.

US Intelligence Pause with Ukraine could be lifted - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 7.54am post that US pause on Intelligence with Ukraine could be lifted soon as stated by President Trump.

Lets Get Real:

I won't hold my breath on this, lives have already been lost with the pause.  It's the fault of the man - child in the Oval Office, the US Cabinet says nothing, the US Secretary does nothing but follow what ever POTUS says, Zelensky is humiliated in the Oval Office, will Europe really back him if it comes to the Crunch.   We could have another Munich 1938, in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, what concessions will Russia demand of Ukraine, in this the road to WW3? 

Russia is easier to deal with than Ukraine - Trump47

Lets Get Real:

Is this a good idea, Zelensky has kissed the Trump47 ring, EU says it will spend billions of Euros on Defence, we shall see if it happens, the EU never moves that fast.  The Saudi Arabia meeting could be a disaster, it could be Munich 1938 again.  POTUS might want a quick deal with Russia at the expense of the Ukraine, can Sir Keir Starmer and President Macron control Trump 47, he is an apologised for Russia, a pawn, a new Neville Chamberlain.

Russia Opposes European Troops as Peacekeepers-'Russia - Trump47

BBC News:  Reports in its 10.45am post that Russia opposes European Troops in the Ukraine, and must be consulted on any troops.

Lets Get Real:

Moscow wants a VETO on any peacekeeping troops in Ukraine, they see Trump47 as a major appeaser, the catch might be Europe and the UK.  The UK and those countries willing to defend the Ukraine, might be called upon sooner than expected, its not just the Donald and Vlad show, this feels like 1938 all over again, let's hope its has a different end, and we don't have WW3.

Trump Gives LAST warning to Hamas - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that President Trump has given a last warning to Hamas in Gaza, release the Hostages on else.

Lets Get Real:

What will Trump do, give Israel more weapons, further anger the Arab Street, Trump does not understand the history of the Middle East or the War between Russia and the Ukraine, he is a pawn of Russia.  The French President has suggested extending their nuclear shield to protect Europe, if the US shows it can not be trusted.  Since Trump47 Inaugural speech, the World has gone upside down!  This is the fault of President Biden for running for a 2nd term when he was senile or close to it by the end.

US Stops Intelligence sharing with the Ukraine - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 12.50pm that the US has stopped Intelligence sharing with the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The US is only stopped sharing Intelligence that allows the Ukraine to hit Russian targets in Russia.  Trump47 is showing that he is a pawn of Russia, what were the American people thinking of giving a 2nd term.  Trump is not rational and he is erratic, can he be trusted to support NATO, the question must be asked.  Who can trust him in talks with Russia, will he give the Ukraine away and claim victory, troubling times.

Update: 12.54:  All Intelligence has been cut off, the Russians are giving nothing away, where is Senator McCarthy when you need him!!

Zelensky Bends the knee to Trump - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that President Zelensky has agreed to work with Trump and will sign the minerals deal.   Also the President Zelensky has suggested an initial ceasefire.

Lets Get Real:

Thus President Zelensky has done what his Country needs , kissing Trump's ring, saying sorry for last Friday's meeting in the Oval, a brave and honorable man has put his Country first, it must have been hard, let's be honest here, it's the President and Vice - President who should say sorry, the meeting was a set up, they are pawns of Putin.  The next step is up to President Trump, will he say anything as he speaks to Congress tonight, never know with the Donald, a man child with hubris out of controll.

Trump pauses aid to the Ukraine - Trump47

Sky News: Reports via Bloomeberg that President Trump has paused military aid to the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

POTUS has totally appeased Russia, will the Republicans on the Hill back this move, its madness and dangerous for US and Western Security, who on the Hill with the exception of Democrsts, will say no to this move.  The Kŕemlin will smile, Neville Chamberlain has a new ally, Donald Trump, 1938 = 2025. Sad day for the Ukraine and the West. One only hopes the outcry in the US and Europe, will force Trump to backtrack, and that the UK and allies will be there to replace the military aid.

Minerals deal not DEAD, - Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 8.56pm post the the mineral deal between Ukraine and the US is not dead, in the view President Trump.

Trump critical of Zelensky on the future of the War - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 5.04pm post that Trump has been critical of Zelensky again about War outcome.  The Europeans are also under attack for European Summit over the weekend.

Lets Get Real:

There are no longer guard rails on Trump, he has learned the wrong lessons of the first term.  The Generals are gone and the OVAL is surrounded by YES MEN, Trump thinks that if ends the WAR, the Nobel Committee will give him the Nobel Prize, someone he totally trusts, needs to tell him, they would rather give to a serial killer than him.  Europe has risked his wrath, for even thinking about giving security guarantees to the Ukraine, on the HOPE that the US will give a security backstop.  It's a WAR of words, that will make Putin happy! 

Zelensky ready to sign mineral deal with the US - Trump47

 Sky News Reports in its 10.35pm post that President Zelensky is ready to sign a minerals deal with the US.

Lets Get Real:

UK gives security guarantees to the Ukraine - Trump47

BBC News Reports in its 5.25pm post that the UK PM Sir Keir Starmer has in essence given the Ukraine a security guarantee, in a partnership agreement with France and others.

Lets Get Real:

This is risky move by Starmer, he hopes he has a good relationship with Trump 47, and thus can by friendly persuasion get the US to agree to be a security backstop.  President Putin will not be happy, he was hopping for more concessions from Trump, NOW the coalition of the willing are in the way, one does wonder what the White House will say about this latest development, next couple of days will be interesting.

Sir Keir Starmer to meet President Zelensky - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 11.48am post that the British PM, Sir Keir Starmer is to meet President Zelensky this afternoon.

Lets Get Real:

It will take all the PM's skills to fix the disaster of the meeting between POTUS and President Zelensky.  It is about managing ego's, the biggest will be Trump's, a man child, who likes to be told he is great and everyone else is rubbish.  At the next meeting between POTUS and President Zelensky, Sir Keir should attend, to keep the peace.  The road to WW3 might have started already!

5.25pm Update: President Zelensky arrives at 10 Downing Street, he gets a hug from Sir Keir.  This will not go down well in the Oval.  Trump is very thin skinned, anything can set him off.  President Zelensky will see the King tomorrow.   Let's hope that Sir Keir knows how to play Trump.

Sky News:  Reports in its 8.36pm post that after the public and angry debate the President with his advisors decided to curtail the meeting and threw Zelensky out of the White House.

Lets Get Real:

This all about the Russian impeachment of  Trump and the Hunter Biden laptop, Trump can not let it go, he is very much like Richard Nixon,  the former President could not get over losing to Kennedy in 1960, thus Watergate and his own downfall.  Trump needs a psychology help, he has to let go, the security of the US and Europe is at stake.  We are on the road to WW3.

Rumble in the Oval - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 12.32am post that the Democrats on the Hill have been highly critical of President Trump in his meeting with President of the Ukraine and the argument that developed.

Lets Get Real:

The row was embarrassing for both sides, Zelensky did not kiss the ring, and Trump was at his worse, a Russian pawn, Zelensky represents Democracy, while Trump represented Russian interests, the mood music before had been good, there was President Macron on Monday and Starmer on Thursday, its seems that Trump could not get out in front of his ego.  Thus Europe might have to give the Ukraine security guarantees, thus the War goes on.
