US must be back stop to any security deal - Sir Keir Starmer - Trump 47

 Guardian: Reports in its 7.16pm post the following, " US must provide ‘backstop’ to deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again, Starmer says after emergency Paris summit, "

Lets Get Real:

What if President Trump says NO, what if he wants to sell out the Ukraine because he is impressed by tyrants.  That would force the European Governments in to WAR MODE, one cannot rule out the return of conscription, at least the new recruits would be to taught read and write, even a trade.  The European Capitals should think this 1914 again, after a long peace, welfare has to be cut, the super rich, have to pay high rate is taxes , one cannot rule out WW3, the Russians will be back for more, as Hitler did with Czechoslovakia Republic in 1938/39.  IF the US wants to avoid WW3 it will have to be a security stop even if does not want to be, the World has changed for the worse, and there is no Reagan in the Oval and Thatcher at 10 Downing Street. 

Russia Questions the ROLE of Europe in Peace Talks - Trump 47

Sky News: Reports in its 10.54am post that the Russian Foreign Minister has questioned the role of Europe in ant peace deal.

Lets Get Real:

The Russians only want to deal with Trump, they see him as a pushover, a President who seeks the headlines, and whose ego is not matched by his talents, even Richard Nixon would be turning in his grave! This is not 1938, or the COLD WAR, Russia is a lesser power today, it is trying it on, its not the USSR or Imperial Russia, Trump is the modern Gorachev in reverse, what else will Trump give away in talks with Putin in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, Europe needs to worry, specially Eastern Europe and the Baltic States.

UK ready to place troops in Ukraine if ceasefire- Trump 47

 BBC News Reports in its 7.29am post that the UK PM has stated that the UK is ready and willing to place UK troops in Ukraine  if there is a peace deal.

Lets Get Real:

This is a brave and good move by PM Starmer, if Trump wants to sell a Deal, he will need the Ukraine and Europe on board, we recall 1938 and Munich, and then the UK was there, NOW we are in the COLD,  very much like Czechoslovakia was in 1938, and what happened Hitler's Germany came back for more.  2025 cannot be a repeat of 1938.  One wishes that Trump read books, political history, are we doomed to make the same mistakes again.  ONE is wary of a US-Russia deal, and Trump selling out the Ukraine.
