Trump considering LIMITED STRIKE on IRAN - Update

Fox News: Reports that President Trump is considering a limited strike on Iran to get them to the Negation Table.

Let's Get Real:

This is the REAL TRUMP, he wants a limited war and Tehran caving to what he wants, no nukes and access to their oil.   The biggest build up of US military forces is to send a warning to Iran, the problem is everyone has Trump's number, limited WAR with GOOOD TV HEADLINES.   The Oval does not want body bags of US Military Personnel, it does not want to place land forces in Iran, after the perceived and actual failure in AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, Biden's polls never recovered after the failed departing of American from Afghanistan, Trump does not want that before the November Elections.  IF Tehran had a brain cell it would cave, and the Regime would be safe from Trump, that is the question will Tehran cave to US demands.

US Supreme Court strikes down Trump's Tariffs - Update

 

Sky News: Reports in its 3.03pm post that " the court has now struck down the tariffs, meaning the administration could face huge financial consequences. "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS will hit the roof, he has used tariffs as a gun, forcing Countries in to DEALS, and he will have to pay back billions, a lot of billions.  This will hit hard before the Mid Terms in November, the Democrats and the liberal press will stuff this down the Oval's throat.  This could have consequences, Trump will feel this decision by the Court and will try to work around it, this shows that the American system does work, Congress might not keep Trump in line, but the Courts do at the end of the day ACT.  POTUS might need to feel to show that he is still strong, by attacking Iran, before the Democrats take charge o the Congress and use the WAR POWERS ACT of 1973 against him, in that ACT a President can act for six weeks but then requires Congressional approval, a split Congress, the HOUSE in the hands of the Democrats and the Republicans in charge of the Senate, might complex the case for WAR. Events, boy Events can hinder any political leader when he least expects it.   What will Trump do to show he still in control.


Long Military Campaign in Iran Planned -Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Trump is considering 'weeks-long campaign' in Iran that would look 'like full-fledged war' and be 'existential for the regime', with 'dramatic influence on the entire region' "

Let's Get Real:

Events, boy Events, when asked by a Junior Minister asked a great British PM, what could go wrong.  POTUS will be bruised by the US Supreme Court struck down his tariffs, he will want to be seen as strong, and not look weak, thus POTUS might go for a limited strike on Iran, a long war could be costly, he has not sold the idea to the American people, he said that last attack had destroyed Iran's nuclear capacity, also Sir Keir Starmer is playing games with the US over the use of their bases on UK soil, that is a bad move, Trump has thin skin and holds a grudge, we need the US to give security guarantees to the Ukraine, the PM should be careful, he is the British PM not the Director of Prosecutions any more, he cannot be both.  This blog does not expect an attack this weekend, we are still in the 15 day window that Trump has set as a deadline, in less he goes bonkers and attacks to make point, he has to wait for the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier to get to the Middle East, it should be there by the Weekend.  Events, boy Events, turn history.

Trump's Deadline to Iran - 10 Days and Counting Down - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Donald Trump warned the US could bomb Iran if a deal isn't reached in the next 10 days "

Let's Get Real:

This is a way out for TRUMP, his deadlines change many times are women change their clothes - A lot.  Trump is a wimp, but he is costing the American Tax Payer a fortune, he has two aircraft carriers in the Middle East by the Weekend, and other US Ships and Subs who can launch cruise missiles.  It would be interesting to see the COST of this vast deployment, all that Trump can look tough.  CNN has stated that Trump has added 5 days to is deadline.  It has become a truism that Trump Always Chickens OUT, the tax payer has to pick up the bill.   If POTUS does not act, he will be seen as WEAK, on the reverse side that non action will go down well with his base.  The MAGA base are tired of long WARS, they see AFGHANISTAN and IRAQ as a failure, and are tired of the US being the World's policeman, and Trump the showman has not stated why the US has to go WAR, he stated in the past that the US had destroyed Iran's nuclear capacity, was that true or false, if FALSE, the Oval should explain WHY, if he wimps out, no one will be afraid of Trump on the World Stage. What an irony!.

Could Trump strike Iran on the Weekend? - Update

CNN: Reports  US could strike Iran this weekend.

Let's Get Real:

This blog has predicted that POTUS will not strike, he will want to give Iran time to make a deal.  Any deal will be weak, a light version of Obama's deal with Iran, Tehran must know that if they give the impression of submission the Trump Oval will back off.  Trump wants good headlines, and if need be a short war, and then declare victory, Trump is a WIMP, he will not want a long war before the elections in November, thus no strike on Iran.

Update: CNN Reports on the Trump dilemma " He can either enforce his red line — however belatedly — or do something quite politically fraught. " The American people do not want WARS, on that CNN is right, Trump was elected to be a domestic President not the Policeman of the World.   Of course the problem is that he would be following President Obama when it comes to red lines, the infamous red line that Obama set in Syria, when the Assad Regime used chemical weapons on his own people, and President Obama did not ACT, he lost Presidential credibility after that, so what will Trump do, he is a wimp, he will take a 2nd rate deal on Iran's nukes, there are elections in November, he needs to keep the House, if he loses the Congress there will be endless investigations and impeachment and then 2028 cycle will start and Trump will be a lame duck President, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Andrew Mountbatten - Windsor Arrested - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 10.16an post  that Andew Mounbatten Windsor has been arrested  of " suspicion of misconduct in public office  "

Let's Get Real:

What does one say, no one is above the law, what ever happens Andrew has bought disgrace on himself, the Royal Family and the Country.  The King still has cancer, this will be hard for the King, his own brother! The wheels of Justice must be followed through to the end. GOD SAVE THE KING.

Update: BBC News reports in its 7.37pm post that Andrew Mountbatten - Windsor has been released from custody, while under investigation.

The WIMP and Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.30pm pm the following, " White House says 'diplomacy' is 'always' top option for Trump on Iran .

Let's Get Real:

Trump will wimp out of doing anything, he will take a bad deal over real action.  It has become a truism that Trump always chickens out, he is a natural bully, when someone stands up to him, he backs down.  This blog knows bullies.  JUST look at the case of Greenland and how the Oval back downed when Europe says no, or the ICE missions when the people said NO.   Tehran are beyond bullies, they are murders and EVIL, killing their own people, they know they just have to run clock down with Trump, the November elections are coming, Trump does not want a long WAR.


Trump NOT FAIR in Ukraine War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.48am post that President Zelensky of Ukraine has called President Trump not fair in his handling of the Ukraine War.

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Oval will hit the roof because of the above comments, POTUS does not liked to be criticised and will take revenge, he is very thin skinned, and might not agree to sign security guarantees, that he has agreed too in the past, thus the War goes on and Ukrainian soldiers and innocent people are killed, Shame on Putin and Russia.

No Breakthrough in Ukraine - Russian Talks - Update

 BBC News: Reports " Talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US aimed at ending Moscow's war in Ukraine have concluded without a breakthrough. "

Let's Get Real:

The failure of the TALKS will not go down well with Trump Oval.  TRUMP has places pressure on the Ukraine to make concessions, he has given Russia a free pass, what happens to his June deadline, does it pass like others, or does Trump wash hands of the business, and cuts the Ukraine off when it comes to military aid, the coalition of the willing will have to back the Kyiv Government, the WAR goes on!.

Talks TENSE between Russia and Ukraine - Russia

Sky News: Reports in its 7.05pm post that Russia has stated that the talks between themselves and the Ukraine was TENSE.

Let's Get Real:

The Kyiv Government should not allow themselves to be intermediated by Moscow or bullied by President Trump.   The Trump Oval wants a quick peace deal and good headlines, President Trump once stated that the Ukraine has NO CARDS, as usual Trump is WRONG, the Ukraine has Europe, who know if the Ukraine falls they are next targets of Putin, it has to be stated that President of the Ukraine has offered a Referendum and elections in the Spring, based on signed security guarantees by the US and Europe, this would include the Coalition of the Willing who are ready to place troops in the Ukraine as a security guarantee against Russia coming back for more in a few years time, this assuming the people of the Ukraine agree to the Donbas being part of Russia, that is not certain that they would support such a deal, whatever Trump wants.  Europe must always have the back of the Ukraine, even if that means an increase in defence spending, that will drive the left of the Labour Party nuts, they just want welfare and appease Russia. 

Trump places pressure on Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia talks - Update

Guardian: Reports "   Ukraine must reach a deal with Russia ‘fast’, says president before trilateral talks "

Let's Get Real:

This is Trump placing pressure on Ukraine to fold, Kyiv should stand strong, the coalition of the willing will support them with arms and Intelligence, Trump has a mental problem of being tough on tyrants and dictatorships, as with the case of the theocracy in Iran and the Putin in Russia, he wants to please them and get the praise, Trump is another Neville Chamberlain in the making, and that lead to WW2.

US and Iran in talks in Geneva - Update

BBC News: Reports that  President "Trump said he would be "indirectly" involved and suggested Tehran was motivated this time to negotiate."

Let's Get Real:

This is POTUS wobbling, as stated in the article Trump thinks that Iran wants a Deal as it understands the consequences of not making a deal.   IN the view of Trump Tehran does not want another War like the 12 day WAR last year.  This Trump appeasing Tehran, the theocracy know now that if they appear to give concessions, then Trump will fold like a cheap suit.  The World will face an Iran crisis within a few years, Iran will have the bomb and West cannot do a thing, like North Korea.

Update:  BBC News reports that the talks between the US and Iran have finished, the articles states the following, " Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said the two countries had reached an understanding on the main "guiding principles", but work still needs to be done.  " This is the Iranian side taking the US to the cleaners, their Chief Negotiator has written a book on the art of a deal, everyone these days thinks they are Donald Trump.  It will be interesting to see what the US side say about the talks, as they are appeasing, they will be positive, the talks with go on endlessly, the Tehran Regime is good at that, and Trump is such an easy mark as they say in the con game.

Mass Blackout in Russia border Towns - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.00am post of a mass blackout in a Russian Border towns after attack by Ukraine.

Let's Get Real:

This shows Ukraine has cards  to play, and can cause the same destruction as Russia has done all over the Ukraine.   The Munich Security Conference showed that the European Allies think the June deadline by POTUS is nonsense, more months of death and destruction in the Ukraine War to come.


Geneva talks between Iran and US - Update

CNN: Reports that the US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the President Trump's son in law  Jared Kushner will represent the US in talks with Iran.

Let's Get Real:

When has this worked, has not worked with the Ukraine War, these two gentlemen are not DIPLOMATS, we are talking about nuclear weapons here, they have no experience of NUKES, Iran  it seems from the article is talking about allowing the US oil concessions, it has worked for the Regime in Venezuela, one can see endless talks going nowhere, while protesters rot in prison, Heaven Help Us.

Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier located near Oman - Update

BBC News: Reports the Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier has been located near Oman.

Let's Get Real:

Trump is shadow boxing with two aircraft carriers in the Middle East, as the article notes there are further talks with Iran, Tehran can play this game for years, just give enough to give Trump the appearance of a good deal, that all he wants at the end of the day! This blog will be shocked if he does anything, he is to afraid of a long war, he wants short wars with great headlines, as was the case with Venezuela.  Then there are the Mid Terms in November, he does not want the Democrats in charge of the House and Senate.

Murder by another Name - Putin Regime - Update

Sky News: Reports that Russian Opposition leader Alexei Navalny,  was killed by the venom of an Ecuador poison frog, UK and Allies have found.

Let's Get Real:

Thus Russians must be tired of pushing people through open windows, when one hears a critic of Putin has fallen from a window, one assumes the worse, or when an ex Russian spy who defected to the UK, they used WMD to attempt to kill him.   Then there was a critical of Putin who was killed by nuclear material in his tea, the police traced it back to Russia.   Thus we come to the case of Mr Navalny, who the Russians tried to kill before, but he still went back to Russia and certain arrest and death.   How much does Russia have to suffer if you include the Ukraine War?  When will the Madness end?.




The Ball is is the American Court - Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports that Iran has stated the Iranian- US talks on Iran's ambitions are in the US Court.

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime know that Trump is a TWACO, Trump will always Chicken Out, he does not have Presidential credibility, he likes quick  OPERATIONS, no loss of American lives, such as in Venezuela, likes good headlines, also there are elections in November, the Congress is up for elections, he is NO Reagan as mentioned in previous post, also to be honest the MAGA base after Afghanistan and Iraq do not like long and costly wars.   The exception is weak Presidents, Carter, Biden, will Trump add his name to weak holders of the Oval Office.  Trump's predecessor,  Joe Biden never recovered from the mess of the US leaving Afghanistan, image's that are iconic now! So what will Trump do about Iran.

Regime change in Iran would be best - Trump

Sky News: Reports that President Trump has stated Regime change in Iran would be best, as he sends the USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East.

Let's Get Real:

If POTUS backs down NOW, he will have no Presidential credibility, the World will see him as a major WIMP who chickens out when the US is needed.   ONE hopes Oval understands that, he has set the game, he must follow through and take out the Iranian Regime.  ONCE Trump stated the US would support the protesters and come to their rescue, he has no choice, to miss quote Margaret Thatcher, don't WOMBLE Donald!

Iran fortifications for Nuclear facilities - Update

BBC News: Reports that has been found to have fortified one of its nuclear sites.

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime cannot be trusted, its says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, this blog has a bridge in Brooklyn for sale if any one is interested! The Regime in Tehran is EVIL, the murder of its own people has shown that, its lies and supports terrorist groups in the Middle East, it has a Ballistic Missiles that are a threat to the Region and Europe.   THE Iranian Regime is lucky, it has a WIMP in the White House, Trump just wants a deal, that he can sell to the American people, after telling then that the short war with Iran had destroyed its nuclear capability, also a deal that Israel will support without undermining the Deal by poiting out its flaws.  THE movement of two aircraft Carriers is all shadow boxing, all for Trump's ego.

Getald R Ford Aircraft Carrier on the way to the Middle East - Update

CNN: Reports that the USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier is being sent to the Middle East.

Let's Get Real:

As the article makes clear Trump wants a deal with Iran, any deal that makes him look good, Tehran has to give the appearance that they are making concessions to avoid a strike by the US.  Thus the Middle East will have two US Aircraft Carriers, the fire power to take down the theocracy Regime.  TEHRAN is lucky, Trump always chickens out, he is weak, and does not have the stomach for a long war, to be fair, neither do the American people.  Trump is no Reagan, that President lost 240+ Marines in one day in Lebanon, the next day he invaded Grenada, that is Presidential character and greatness, something Trump does not have in his character.

US places pressure on Ukraine to give concessions to the Russians - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 10.41am post that the US is placing pressure on the Ukraine to give concessions to Putin's Russia.

Let's Get Real:

As stated the US is on the side of Putin's Russia when it comes to the Ukraine War, the NATO Allies have buy weapons from the US to give to the Ukraine.  As article notes, the Trump Oval wants to end the Ukraine War by June, Trump wants to clear the decks by the November elections for the Congress.  Trump is a wimp and chickens out in the end, thus expect a bad deal to end the Iranian crisis.  Trump wants quick headlines of another propective war ended by the Trump Oval.  NO matter how bad the deal is, Israel should be on ALERT.



New Geopolitics - Secretary Rubio

BBC News: Reports that Europe must face new geopolitics as the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio arrives for the Munich security conference.

Let's Get Real:

This is down President Trump and his America First policy, thus his demands that Europe spend at least 5% of its GDP on Defence and that Denmark give Greenland to the US.  The Oval has backdown on that demand for a while.   The US expects Europe to fund Ukraine in its war with Russia.  It can be stated that the Trump Oval is more supportive of Russia than of the Ukraine and NATO.   The UK needs to back the Ukraine through Europe, otherwise we could have WW3 in Europe should Ukraine lose to Russia, but the NATO Allies need the US for security guarantees for the Ukraine if they must give up the Donbas, in East Ukraine.

Ukraine - Update

 Daily Mail: Reports " Ukraine 'set to announce plans to hold presidential elections and peace deal referendum' "

Let's Get Real:

Above is being done after pressure from the Trump Oval, Trump has set a June deadline for there to be peace in the Ukraine War, as the article notes, the Trump Oval could be thinking about the November Elections and wanting an out before the Democrats take over.  This is a hard one to solve.  The Russians have not modified their demands, they want the Donbas, no NATO troops in the Ukraine and for the Ukraine not to join NATO.   The Kyiv Government could do better with the Democrats in control of the Congress, they are more that willing to counter Russia.   Then we have Trump is a WIMP who always chickens out, he could try to force the Ukraine to agree to Russian demands.   When you need a Reagan, no one is about!

Israeli PM in Washington D.C to see the President - Update

 Fox News: Reports on President Trump's meeting with the Israeli PM, " Iran dominated the agenda in Wednesday’s White House meeting between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with both leaders signaling that diplomacy with Tehran remains uncertain and that coordination will continue if talks fail. "

Let's Get Real:

Trump still wants that Nobel Prize whatever he says, he is even ready to throw ISRAEL under the bus for that Prize.   Israel has made it clear it reserves the right to strike Iran if it thinks its security is still under threat from Iran's nukes or Ballistic missiles, and let's be honest, IRAN under the theocracy is a threat to the entire Middle East.   The people tried to overthrow the Regime and were murdered for their efforts in the thousands, the West, in this case the CIA and MI6 should support these brave fighters for freedom, through communication equipment that gets the word OUT, and helps the various people of Iran to join to overthrow the Regime. The Regime is EVIL, it killed people in Hospitals, how much will the WORLD take before it helps the poor people of Iran.

Iran Crisis - Update

BBC News: Reports " We heard "death to the dictator" shouted too from somewhere in the darkness of the city, from the safety of spaces indoors. "

Let's Get Real:

This year it is the anniversary of the Revolution in Iran, the Regime is trying to cover up the mass murders, people are afraid to talk, Reporters are only allowed in Iran under if they follow the rules.   This is the fault of the Trump Oval, he asked the protesters to come out and take over buildings, they tried and were killed by the theocracy Regime.   The Theocracy want to control the people, the problem is that the people have had enough, they want freedom, unfortunately they faced a murderous Regime, and a WIMP for a President.  The people thought that the American President would come to their rescue, it failed, there is a new truism, Trump Always Chickens Out, he only bullies his Allies such as over Greenland, and has faced OUT ICE when it comes to immigration.  Poor people of Iran.

Peace a long way to go in the Ukraine - Russia

Sky News: Reports in its 6.52am post that the Russian Foreign Minister has stated peace is long way to go in the Ukraine War.

Let's Get Real:

That Russians ďemands have not changed, no NATO membership for the Ukraine and no NATO Troops as s security guarantee for the Ukraine.  The Trump Oval has never placed pressure on Russia, Trump is a WIMP, and has been noted that Trump Always Chickens Out when it comes to Russia, when Trump tried to buĺly Europe to give him Greenland, Europe stood firm and bully Trump backed down.  Trump has set June as his deadline for the Ukraine WAR to end, he will place pressure on President Zelensky of the Ukraine, Europe should back KYIV a 100%.   The Europeans might need to support Ukraine if Trump pulls away, on this issue this blog trusts Sir Keir Starmer, even the French.  The War in the Ukraine needs to stay in the Ukraine otherwise we could have WW3.

Ghislaine Maxwell pleads the 5th before Congree - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.07pm post that Ghislaine Maxwell has pleaded the 5th before the US Congress.

Let's Get Real:

It seems from Ms Maxwell through her lawyer wants clemency before she talks. What kind of arrogance is that, she wants a pardon from President Trump, as she states that noth Trump and Clinton are innocent.  Let her rot in prison for what she has done, Trump would be mad to pardon her!

The Fate of Sir Keir Starmer - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.44pm post that the Cabinet has come out to support Sir Keir Starmer over the Epstein files and Peter Mandelson.

Let's Get Real:

If Labour was to get rid of Sir Keir it would be a political of mistake, he is the only one that this blog trusts with the Ukraine.  IN pure politics none of the candidates put their heads above the trenches, one because of her tax affairs and the other is seen as to close to Peter Mandelson, they showed no backbone and balls of steel, you need both to become PM, events boy events, remarks by a great Conservative PM when asked what could go wrong by a junior Minister ( they were mostly men, back in the day ) Thus Sir Keir will survive for now, but he is the Titanic taking on water, the Labour MPs will wait for a crucial by election in a few weeks time before taking action, gutless fools.

The King to help Police over allegations against former Prince Andrew - Update

BBC News: Reports that the King is very concerned about the allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, over his role as a Trade Envoy, and will help the Police with its enquiries.

Let's Get Real: 

Andrew has disgraced his family and humiliated the Country, the Royal Family has stripped Andrew of his titles, sent him siberia on the Sandringham Estate.  ONE does think Andrew should do the decent thing and go in to abroad for life.   At the least the King acted unlike the Labour Party who have an unpopular PM, they can't even get a coup right, the Conservatives are more ruthless, overly so it can be argued.  GOD SAVE THE KING.

Trump sets June deadline for END of Ukraine WAR - Update

Sky News:  Reports in its 9.30am post that President Trump has set a JUNE deadline to end the WAR in the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

JUNE is tough, it's very random, Trump could be thinking about the elections in November.  As recent events have shown Trump is a WIMP, he caves to dictator and bullies Allies, as shown by Greenland, the coalition of the willing might need to back Ukraine over the US.  Does any one see Trump putting pressure on Putin, the answer is NO, so Zelensky should expect to be bullied by Trump to give up the Donbas, the Kyiv will only think about that if the coalition of the willing is allowed to place NATO Troops in the Ukraine as a security guarantee.   The Russians will oppose that idea.  As the article notes there will be more talks in Florida, we shall what comes of the talks.

The Appeaser comes to play with Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports " Talks with US set to continue after 'good beginning', Iran's foreign minister says "

Lets Get Real:

As predicted in this blog, Trump the Appeaser has come OUT, he does not want to get rid of the EVIL Regime in Tehran, he wants them to appear to give up their nuclear weapons and he gets good headlines, why even Trump cannot see that, he is a WIMP and a FOOL, one is sure the Israeli Mossad is on the case, lets hope Trump listens to his Israeli Friends and not his Arab friends in the Middle East.  As the above article makes clear, the talks centred on Iran's nuclear ambitions, not its ballistic weapons and the funding of terrorists in the Middle East and around the World.  IN a few years Iran will  have the bomb and the WORLD will be worse off.

Iran's Supreme Leader should be very worried - Trump

CNN: Reports that President Trump has stated that the Supreme Leader of Iran should be very worried.

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval makes threats but does not carry them out.  President Trump stated he would come to the rescue of the protesters on the streets of Iran.  The people listened and for shouting for democracy they were killed, that blood is on the hands of the Regime and the Trump Oval, once Presidential credibility is gone it does not come, look at what happened to LBJ during Vietnam, his positive remarks and speeches did not match reality, Obama stated that use of Chemical weapons against the Syrian people by the Assad Regime was a red line, he did not follow through, and no one was afraid of Obama after that event. Then recently there was US leaving Afghanistan under Biden, 13 US military personnel were killed, and the pictures of people trying to get on planes, was a humiliation for the US and Biden, his polls never recovered.   A President needs a backbone like Reagn and JFK.   Trump is a WIMP, the World does not respect cowardice, a US President needs his credibility for himself and successors, that time has passed for Trump.


 


Does Iran understand Trump ? - Update

Guardian: Reports " Iran is betting that Trump does not have a plan for regime change...Although weakened by airstrikes, sanctions and domestic unrest, Tehran is surprisingly bullish before talks with US "

Lets Get Real:

The Tehran Regime gets the fact that Trump is not big on challenging Tyrants, or having long wars, the Kidnapping of the leader of Venezuela and the short term bombing of Iran is as far as WIMP like Trump will go, he does not do long term battles or troops on the ground, in that fact he has learned the lesson of IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.    Therefore POTUS has blood on his hands for calling out the protesters to take over buildings,  he said he was coming to the rescue and he failed them.  Those kind enough to read this blog should not be surprised if Trump a does 2nd hand deal with Tehran, the appearance of getting their nuclear material and walks away, then Iran can carry with its plan to develop nuclear weapons, with the help of North Korea.  Let's recall Trump is a reality TV star, builds up the tension, then climax, and Trump gets good headlines for preventing a WAR, and Iran can carry on with its ballistic weapons and funding terrorists in the Middle East.

Is Iran playing the US over talks ? - Update

CNN: Reports that expected talks between Iran and US have hit a snag....." after Tehran requested they be relocated, that regional participants be excluded, and that the discussions’ scope be limited to the country’s nuclear program, according to three sources familiar with the matter. "

Lets Get Real:

As the article points out the the original talks were to happen in Turkey, with US Arab Allies in attendance, the talks will now  take place in Oman, with the sides having difference agendas, with the US wanting to talk more than just about the nuclear ambitions of Iran, there is also the problem of Iran's ballistic plans and its funding of terrorist groups in the region.   The Tehran Regime is seems only wants to discuss its nuclear ambitions, this could be real, the late leader of Iraq didn't want neighbouring Countries to know that he had destroyed is WMD, thus the Iraq War, pride and honour is big thing in the Middle East.   Of course this could be a ploy to divert attention for a while, get the Trump Oval mired in endless talks that go nowhere.  As Trump is MAJOR WIMP, do not be surprised if he backs down, declares that he has as perfect DEAL, better than Obama's and declare in the White House he has won the news cycle.  Lets recall Trump is from Reality TV, all that matters is the appearance of winning, the poor dead protesters will have died for nothing. 

Update: Guardian reports that the US has refused the Iranian request to change location and the format of the talks.   Update 2: The US has agreed to the new location for talks.  The World sees how much a WIMP Trump really is, he wants declare VICTORY and move on!!






New START (Treaty) to Expire on Thusday - Update

BBC News: Reports that the New START ( Treaty ) is to expire on Thursday.

Lets Get Real:

This is the end of the era for treaties to control the nuclear arms of both Russia and the US.  As the article notes Trump wants a new Treaty that includes China, no chance, Russia wants to include the UK and France, no way that will happen, France is only a player on the World Stage because it has Nukes, the UK on the whole is a dependable ally of the US on the ground, of late Afghanistan and Iraq.  The Treaty that outlawed different kinds of Nukes, was the INF Treaty signed by Reagan and Gorbachev, that was allowed to expire, thus Europe would be a battle front should WW3 break out.  The Old order is gone, Nukes were meant to prevent Mutual Assured Destruction in Europe, the Trump Era has destroyed that, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has shown that Nukes do not prevent Wars, Ukraine gave up its Nukes, after security guarantees from the US and Russia, the assurances were not worth the paper they were written on.   The Coalition of willing and the US are willing to give security guarantees to the Ukraine, and troops on the ground, the Russians object, we are back to pre WW2 days, Russia is Germany and the Ukraine is brave Poland.  The result is still unknown.


Russia demands have not changed - Russia

Sky News: Reports in its 11.34am post that Russia has stated its demands have not changed, they want the Donbas in East Ukraine, and NO NATO Troops in the Ukraine as a security guarantee.  Thus more talks.

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are playing about, they want to keep Trump sweet and for the US to place pressure on Zelensky in Kyiv.   The Kremlim sees Trump as a Lap Dog to Putin, in other words Trump is WIMP aversed to WAR, thus actions in Iran.   Thus more endless talks while the good people of Ukraine die in the cold.

US shoots down Iranian drone - Update

CNN: Reports that a Iranian drone that was threatening the Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier was shot down by the US.

Lets Get Real:

Events like this have caused wars in the past, Gulf of Tolkien incident in 1964, the shooting down by accident of an Iranian passenger jet in the late 1980's, as the US Fleet was protecting tankers from Iranian attack.  The Iranian theocracy is lucky, any other President would have struck Iran, but Trump is a WIMP, he will let the threat go, as there are planned talks in Turkey between Iran and th US.  The MAGA base does not want the US to be the World's Policeman, that is why Trump is a major WIMP.



Ukraine ready to play ball over peace - NATO Secretary General

 Sky News: Reports in its 1.27pm post that the NATO Secretary General has stated thar the Ukraine is ready to play ball on a peace deal, even if the Russians won't.

Lets Get Real:

President Zelensky wants a deal, but Putin wants to win the War whatever the cost in lives.   It has been reported of late that Russian advance has been the slowest of any army in a hundred years.  Trump should allow the coalition of the willing to send troops NOW, force Putin to face NATO Troops in the Ukraine, that might shock him back in to reality of war, how many Russian soldiers have to die for his ego, and it is about ego when it comes to the Kremlin. It is time for the Ukraine to get some solid security guarantees from the US and Europe, this WAR has to end, but not with a Russian victory, that would lead to WW3 in the future.

Massive Ballistic strike on the Ukraine - Update

BBC News: Reports on a massive and record setting strike on the Ukraine.   This cuts heating and makes it below freezing for the people.

Lets Get Real:

This shows that Russia is not serious about peace, as the article notes the bombing started after midnight after a suppose short Truce as requested by POTUS.  The Russians want to turn the people against the Zelensky government in Kyiv, so far without much luck.   How much can the poor people of the Ukraine take, they are handy souls, but there are limits.  Trump 47 should sign the security guarantees for the Ukraine, this might push Putin to the Peace table, his KGB soul has no remorse! God Bless the Ukraine.

Clintons to face Contempt of Congress Charge - Update

CNN: Reports that the Clinton face being held in Contempt of Congress if they do not give evidence in the Epstein scandal.

Lets Get Real:

The Clintons wanted special treatment, he is a former impeached President after all, and she is a former Secretary of State.  They wanted limit the time they could be interviewed and wanted their own staff in the room to record the conversation.  What do Bill and Hillary have to hide, he has admitted his post office memoirs that he took  Epstein private plane to charity events.  The former President did not admit that he was in the swimming pool, or that he was given a message at an airport.  Whatever does Hillary have to hide, that is the most interesting, she was the Democratic Presidential Nominee in 2016, did her campaign have links with Epstein, its a fair question to ask.   The Clintons must get over themselves, they are like any body else, as we have seen the UK, the scandal has bought down a Prince of the realm and the UK Ambassador to the US.  On this side the of the pond the story is on going, and is being covered by all the Media.

Update: Sky News reports in its 11.41pm post that Bill and Hillary have agreed to being interviewed by the House Committee.  Thus saving them from a Contempt of Congress charge.

Iran ready for talks - Update

Guardian: Reports " Iran’s top diplomat says government is ready for talks with US on a nuclear deal...Abbas Araghchi suggests nuclear programme negotiations could begin imminently, after Trump moves US forces to region "

Lets Get Real:

This is the way that the WIMP Trump will get out of taking action, he believe any DEAL is a good DEAL, in that he is wrong.  Trump simply wants a to lead the new headlines, even if they are attacking.  The Tehran Regime are experts at doing endless talks that lead nowhere, a few years from now, Trump or his successor will have to deal with a nuclear Iran, this is like North Korea, the Tehran Regime LIES and have a President who wants to believe the lies, as he lies ALL the time, he cannot tell the difference, he called for the protesters to take over buildings, and for that they were killed by the theocracy in Iran, others have been arrested, there is a report that a protester that had been sentenced to death was released, this is a ploy by the Regime, they can always go back and arrest him.  Trump is the modern Neville Chamberlin, and any deal will be like Munich 1938.  A prelude to WAR in the Region.

No NATO Tròops for Ukraine - Russia

Sky News: Reports in its 7.46am post that Russia has stated they do not accept the need for NATO tròops in Ukraine as a form of a security by the coalition of the willing.

Lets Get Real:

The Ukraine needs NATO Troops as a security guarantee, to prevent Russia going back on any deal. Former President Medvedev has a habit of sabre rattling, one does question how close he is to Putin.  Any real deal needs a credibility of US and Western Security, in less Trump takes the side of Putin again.

WIMP Trump47 vs. Iran - Update

Sky News: President Trump hopeful of a deal with Iran, after regional war threat from Iran.

Lets Get Real:

The WIMP Trump believes every deal is a good deal, he would have supported Munich 1938 if he been around.    Trump does not care about Democracy or civil rights, just ask the people of Venezuela, he kidnapped its left wing leader, but left the Regime in charge.  The Oval promised to help the protesters in Iran, and has DONE NOTHING, he is afraid of bad headlines in the NEWS CYCLE, that is his main concern, he will do a bad deal and Tehran will have Nukes in a few years.  Thus Tyrant wins and Democracy loses.


Attack on Iran would lead to a Regional War - Tehran

BBC News: Reports that the Supreme Leader in Iran has stated that a US - Iran War would lead to a Regional War.

Lets Get Real:

The sole outcome of a war would weaken the Regime, and a political News cycle win for Trump.  The Trump Oval's constant threats mean nothing, Trump has an aversion to WAR, that lasts longer than a NEWS CYCLE, he does want another Afghanistan or Iraq, the MAGA base no longer wants to be the POLICEMAN of the World.  Trump does not want to be LBJ or Bush 43.

Explosions heard in Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports that 2 explosions have been heard in Iran.

Lets Get Real:

This not the American attack, so far its only Sky News running this story, nothing on the BBC or CNN.  Also the UK PM is in Japan, the Oval would not mount an operation with the British PM out of the UK.   The explosions could be a gas leak or an attack by MOSSAD or the CIA.  Of course it could be resistance to the theocracy! We await further details.

Update: BOTH explosions were a gas leak, that is reports from Iran.  Confirms that Trump is WIMP, one doubts that Trump will strike, you need a strong backbone, while Trump47  has an aversion to WAR that lasts longer than a news cycle.

NO Nuclear and stop killing protesters - Trump - Update

Guardian: Reports that President Trump has stated that the only way for Iran to avoid military action, is no more nuclear ambitions and to stop killing protesters.

Lets Get Real:

Here is the WIMP Trump trying to avoid action, when don't challenge Evil it wins.  The Tehran Regime is EVIL, it kills and tortures its own people, it supports terrorist groups that kills people, it wants Nukes as a form of protection.  The Regime is a theocracy does not believe in Liberal democracy, suppress female rights.  The only thing  that frighten Iran's Elite is military power, a weak President has no effect on them, in fact makes them stronger, smell the coffee POTUS.

Is Turkey the way OUT for the WIMP Trump - Update

Guardian: Reports " Iran seeks to avert US military action with talks in Ankara...Turkey hosts urgent mediation as Trump’s threats mount and Tehran weighs painful compromises to avoid conflict "

Lets Get Real:

The more Trump waits convinces this blog that he is a WIMP.  As the last month has show he backs down under pressure, from Greenland, his slander of British Troops in Afghanistan and now ICE killing of two Americans as they protest the Trump attempt to throw out illegal immigrants.   The Trump Oval is getting pressure from Middle East allies, and his MAG base not to attack, thus Turkey could be his way out, he has the blood of Iranian  protesters on his hands, he said he would come to the rescue and he failed them.  The Democrats should take the House in November, Americans do not like weak leaders, look at what happened to President Biden after his rash exit of Afghanistan.   Reagan and JFK were strong leaders, so in many respects were Bush 41 and Bush 43, after the failure of the peace in Iraq, Bush 43 still won in 2004 Presidential Election, LBJ had to withdraw after doing badly in the 1968 New Hampshire primary, and President Biden had to withdraw after the most disastrous  Debate in Presidential history in 2024.  Trump's poll number are in the toilet, he will get impeached by the Democratic House in 2026, and the Republicans might fancy their chances with a President Vance in the OVAL.

Finger on the Trigger - Tehran

Sky News: Reports in its 5.52pm post that Iran has stated it has the finger on the trigger should the US attack.

Lets Get Real:

As this blog has written Trump is a WIMP, he wants to win the headlines, he does not care about the estimated thirty thousand killed, he called them out on streets to protest and they were killed on streets and hospitals.  A long war would take a long time and the US would lose military personnel, Trump does not have time for that, he likes to WIN, whatever the reality!  That is why Trump is a WIMP, this blog does not expect a long war, a short military action and US could declare a WIN.  That is why Trump is a blowhard and a wimp.


Time running out for Iran - Trump - Update

BBC News: Reports that President Trump has stated time is running out for Iran to come to the table.

Lets Get Real:

Trump is back to the issue of nuclear weapons, it seems the US attack of last year did not do the job as stated by the Trump Oval.  If the Tehran had a brain cell it would get rid of any plans for a nuclear weapons, curtail its Ballistic Missiles capability and stop funding terrorists.  The Trump Oval wants to win short wars and win the news cycle.  If Iran follow tha above advice it would comply with Trump orders and the Theocracy could stay as far as Trump is concerned.  As stated Trump wants the appearance of winning, never mind the reality.

Trump the WIMP might talk to Iran - Update

Fox News: Reports that President Trump has stated that Iran has called many times, they want to talk.

Lets Get Real:

What is it with Tyrants that Trump likes, from Russia to North Korea and now Iran.  The Tehran Regime are past masters at playing the West.  Reagan tried to talk to them, it got him the Iran - Contra scandal, previous Presidents have tried to talk to Iran and have gotten the run around by the Tehran Regime.  The Theocracy will never give up their nuclear ambitions, what ever they to the Trump Oval, they see weakness and will use that against Trump.  The aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln has just arrived in the Middle East, talks come through strength, use it or lose it, what will Trump do? 

30,000 estimated to have been killed - Update

Guardian: Reports that an estimated 30,000 thousand protesters were killed by the Tehran Regime, and that they were buried in mass graves, some of bodies had been in hospital and had hospital gowns on them.

Lets Get Real:

How inhuman do you have to be to drag people from hospitals and then kill them, the World should condemn Tehran and the theocracy that runs the Country.   The Trump Oval should hang his face in shame, POTUS could have been a hero, now he is seen as weak and at command of his Allies.  IF he wanted to act, he now has the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Middle East, will he ACT, one has doubts.

Images of bodies stacked together in Tehran Hospital - Update

BBC News: Reports that verified images show bodies stacked together in a Tehran Hospital, and shooters on buildings.

Lets Get Real:

The Theocracy in Iran has blood on its hands, thousands have been killed, the families of dead protesters are forced to pay a fee to get the bodies back.  Trump also has blood on his hands, for telling the people to come out to protest and he was coming to the rescue.  Trump is a WIMP, he will never do what needs to be done, totally remove the bloody Regime in Tehran.  IT has to be asked what is  the point of sending the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to the Middle East when it's far to late to save people.

Venezuela had ENOUGH of Trump's orders - Update

The Hill: Reports " Venezuela acting president says she’s had ‘enough’ of orders from Washington "

Lets Get Real:

Thus what will Trump do now that his colony saying NO to his orders, he might want the press to return to the issue of Venezuela, he kidnapped the corrupt President, this blog gave TRUMP praise for that, but now he has internal problems WITH ICE.   Then there is Iran, will POTUS want to take action since the US fleet Abraham Lincoln is in place.  On both issues this blog says NO, it might taken ground troops to be successful in Venezuela and Iran, Trump wants quick victories, no tough WARS, thus Trump with his lack of action towards the defending the Iranian protesters, one can see that Trump is WAR averse, he does not like political hits, and he likes quick wins, his base does not want long term wars.  Reagan lost over 240+ Marines in Lebanon in 1983 and then invaded Grenada following day, Reagan had a backbone, unlike the WIMP Trump,


Iran getting ready for the US to attack - Update

Guardian: Reports that Iran is getting ready to be attacked by the US.

Lets Get Real:

Tehran is getting nervous, the article reports that the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier is in the region and could attack soon, it has the power to either severe damage the regime or bring it down.  The bright spot for this evil regime is the fact that President Trump is a WIMP, he did not come and support the protesters, as they were machine gunned to death or arrested and tortured as to send a message.  Thus theocracy in Iran can sleep without worry, Trump has his own problems with ICE, thus will to be to nervous to take action that is not a complete success. 


700, 000 on UC - A Graduate life

BBC News: Reports that 700, 000 Graduates are on Universal credit.

Lets Get Real:

This all the fault of former PM, Sir Tony Blair, while in power he increased the number of students going to University.  The problem is, the more Graduates you have, less chance of a job, or you end in a super market making sure the shelfs are full with latest product, before that there are the hundreds of jobs you have applied for and your lucky to get a reply, so you do another degree on the Open University for free ( they do not do that anymore, wonder why)  Then as you get older, life throws you extra challenges, an aged parent, you have problems, by the end even the Job Centre has sympathetic to your needs, and you end up on UC, that was something you tried to avoid and it was offered years ago, but you turned it down, because you knew it was the end, you had to wait to retire. Here endeth the lesson.

US Natoonal Defence Strategy - Update

BBC News: Reports on the new US National Defence Strategy as published by the War Department.   In essence NATO and Asian Allies are up the Creek with No paddle.   It states South Korea can deal with North Korea, Taiwan does not get a mentioned, even after US sold billions in defence equipment to the Island.   This document is an isolation US view of the World.

Lets Get Real:

Thus NATO Allies will have protect the Ukraine, Taiwan on the whole is by itself, even if the US law must protect the small Democrstic Island.  The paper will be a bigger shock to South Korea, this blog predicts predicts it will develop a nuclear bomb, it has too, North Korea is a nuclear armed State.   Trump is a menace to World security, let's hope the Democrats win big in November and push back on Trump.



UAE Talks End - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.48pm post that the talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US have finished in UAE.

Lets Get Real:

Thus we await the details of the talks, did any one flinch, did any of the sides give concessions, the Ukraine on the Donbas, the same with Russia, and what did the US say at the talks.  Sky News reports the UAE has stated the talks were constructive and the sides talked to each other.  President Zelensky has stated there will be further talks.  This has been done not to upset the Trump Oval.

Meeting in UAE to carry on tomorrow - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.08am post that the meeting between the US, Russia and the Ukraine will carry on tomorrow in the UAE.

Lets Get Real:

One does hope the talks are productive, who will blink first, one hopes not the Ukraine under pressure from Trump's America.  The Donbas cannot be given away as a form of appeasement, if you give in to a bully, he will come back for more.  

Its all about the Donbas for Russia - Update

Noted: The Slander by POTUS that NATO did not have their troops on the front line in Afghanistan, the UK lost over four hundred of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan.   POTUS should apologise, he won't, his ego is out of control.

Guardian: Reports in its 10.13am post that the Kremlin is demanding that Ukrainian forces leave the Donbas before Peace Talks carry on.

Lets Get Real:

The Russian demands have not changed, they want the whole of the Donbas, even parts they do not control.  Trump is seen as an appeaser by the Putin, thus he can wait Trump out, and freeze the poor people of Ukraine, in till they give Russia what it wants, a pawn of Russia.  Will Trump walk away and say he did his best, will he stop allowing NATO to buy American weapons for the Ukraine, and what about intelligence sharing, will that carry on.

US Delegation in talks with Putin in Moscow - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 8.33pm post that US Delegation is in a meeting with President Putin in Moscow.

Lets Get Real:

Thus we shall see or hear President Putin's latest demands and what he agrees to or not with deal. This blog will be shocked if he says YES at all, Russian demands have not changed.  The Russians, Ukrainian and US delegations will meet tomorrow in the United Arab Emirates, is this the last throw of the Dice by Trump, before he walks away?

Trump's Good Meeting with President Zelensky - Update

Sky News:  Reports in its 1.25 post, that President Trump has stated he had a good meeting with President Zelensky of Ukraine.  The meeting lasted an hour.

Lets Get Real:

Thus no announcement of an economic package that was expected to be signed today, before Greenland got the attention of the press.   Thus we will have to wait for the meeting tomorrow between US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin of Russia.  Back to important issues of peace and war.

Peace in Ukraine soon - Trump

BBC News: Reports in 10.29am post that President Trump has said that the War he thought would be the most easy to end, Ukraine- Russia war, is the hardest, but peace could come soon.

Lets Get Real:

Today was about Trump' Board of Peace, Europe has stayed away, the UK and France said NO, they don't want to join with Putin on Board, as to the Ukraine, US Envoy Steve Witkoff has stated there was only one issue to discuss, he is on his way to Moscow.  President Zelensky will meet President Trump today.

Update: The US and Ukraine agree security guarantees, but documents need to be signed.

Trump CRITICAL of Canada - DAVOS Update

 Fox News: Reports " Trump challenges Carney at Davos, asserts Canada should be 'grateful' for Golden Dome missile defense...Unclear whether Canada will ultimately take part in the project "

Lets Get Real:

At least President Trump has ruled out taking Greenland by force, the 51st State or Kingdom of Canada would be protected by the Golden Dome, one would assume they might agree, as long as Trump stops his obsession with making Canada part of the US.   Also any payment should be part of the deal not to take over the of Greenland, it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.  It is up to the people of Greenland and Denmark to decide their future.  Not a President who will be gone in 2029, thank goodness for the 22 Amendment passed by the US Congress that bars Presidents from serving more than two terms.   The future after the Mid Terms, will belong the Nominees of the Republican Party; the favourite is VP Vance; and the Democratic Party.  It is unclear who will be the Democratic Favourite. Trump should be happy with the Golden Dome if it ever built and works.


Zelensky still in Kyiv not Davos - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 3.29pm post that POTUS stated he would meet President Zelensky at Davos, the Guardian reports that Zelensky is in the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

President Trump stated that he would meet Zelensky at Davos, this won't happen as stated above, the Iceland mix up and now this! If it was Biden the right wing press would go bonkers, perhaps Trump needs a medical, he is old, just as Biden was in his time.

Greenland - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 2.08pm post that President Trump at DAVOS has stated he will start negotiations to buy Greenland, but won't use force.

Lets Get Real:

POTUS has stated that NATO has given nothing to the US, so he wants Greenland to secure the Golden Iron dome for US security.  Did you notice Trump slipped up and said Iceland instead of Greenland, if this was Biden, it would be the whole story!  Also article 5 of NATO was invoked after 9/11, the only time it has been invoked.  LET'S hope the NATO Secretary General has plan to get Trump off this dangerous plan.

Update: BOTH BBC News and Sky News report that POTUS has dropped his tariff threat,  and done a deal with the NATO Secretary General.  Back to Ukraine tomorrow, Zelensky will meet Trump, Real serious issues.

What about the Ukraine ? - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.28am post that one of the casualties of the Greenland row is an Economic package for the Ukraine, that was meant to be signed at DAVOS this week.

Lets Get Real:

The row over Greenland has meant no economic package for the Ukraine, YES the war is on going, Ukraine is being Droned every night, its Cold in Winter, Putin must be pleased at the state of disarray in the Western Alliance, it is reported the US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is off to Moscow for a meeting, what Putin have in mind! Sad day for NATO and the Ukraine.

You 'll find Out - Trump on Greenland Action - Trump

Guardian: Reports in its 8.17pm post that POTUS stated when asked about Greenland, You 'll find out.

Lets Get Real:

Any military action to take Greenland would mean the END OF NATO, also he could be impeached after November Mid Terms by the Democrats, and Republicans could turn on Trump and prefer VP Vance in the OVAL for the 2028 Presidential Election, if Democrats had done that in 1998, we could have had President Gore, history might have been very different! 

Governor Newsom attacks Europe for its Appeasement of President Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 10.48am post that California Governor Gavin Newsom has attacked Europe for not having a backbone to take on Trump.

Lets Get Real:

Newsom is a Democrat and sees himself as a candidate for the Democratic Nominee for President in 2028.  This blog does not rate him, to Liberal for the Fly Over States, in his own mind, he is a candidate, one can expect, AOC, Governor Shapiro, Former VP Harris, and Senator Booker from California, none so far will get the support of this blog, they have to take on the base, none have so far.  Of course it could be somebody NEW, that would make a  change.

UK stupid to give Chagos Island back - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 6.56am post that President Trump has stated that the UK with great stupidity has given the Chagos Islands back.

Lets Get Real:

This is still about Greenland, he wants Greenland because of its Strategic importance, since the ice is melting, granting a North Western acces to Russia and China.  It is really about him wanting to expand the US and to be seen as a powerful President.  POTUS does not care if he trashes long and old alliances.

Democrats and 2028 - It has started very early -Update

Fox News: Reports " Josh Shapiro claims Kamala Harris' team asked if he was a 'double agent for Israel'Excerpts of Shapiro's upcoming book claimed the 2024 presidential candidate's team asked about his ties to Israel "

Lets Get Real:

The sanity of the 2028 race for the Presidency, and for the Democratic Nominee, the front runners so far, Governor Shapiro and former VP and 2024 Nominee VP Harris.  Governor Shapiro has come out fighting and making Harris squirm for 2028, it seems that the Harris team asked in 2024 if the Governor had ever been an agent for Israel, who would ask that kind of question, what was the mind set, and why has Shaprio told this story, 2028 is few years away, but the Governor wants to start making waves, and how and why Harris lost in 2024.   The former VP blamed former President Biden has his debate and late withdrawal from the race,  also she stated in her memoirs that Governor Shapiro wanted to be co-President, not just Vice President.  The VP's memoirs are worth a read, more fun when former candidates are more truthful than you would expect.  Thus Shaprio wants his named as of the front runners for 2028, if WW3 does not happen by then, you cannot tell with Trump.
