Kremlin Rejects European Troops in Ukraine - Trump47

Guardian:   Reports in its 12.40pm post that the Kremlin has rejected the suggestion that Russia would allow European Troops to guard any ceasefire in the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

Either the Kŕemlin is lying or POTUS just heard what he wanted to hear.  Thus any peace deal without European Troops to guard it, is as safe as the Munich deal of 1938, in other words not worth it, and the Ukraine would be foolish to accept it, thus the talks of a ceasefire could be a false dawn, Putin will not stop, he is a bully, he needs to tough opposition, the West has to be taught or it could be WW3.

UK to increase defense spending by 2.5% by 2027 - Sir Keir Starmer- Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 12.48pm post that the UK PM, Sir Keir Starmer has stated that UK will be spending 2.5% more on Defence from 2027.  In the next Parliament it will be up to 3%.

Lets Get Real:

This move should make POTUS happy, in return we should get US defence guarantees for the Ukraine.  The cut in spending from foreign aid will not make those left happy, the right should be pleased.  One never knows with POTUS, he might demand more for US security guarantees, also Putin is the WILD CARD, what if he makes a move on the Baltic States, thinking this his only chance to reform the USSR or Imperial Russia.  The World might be on the road to WW3 and we don't know it, times are uncertain at the moment.
