Is Trump another Carter when it comes to Iran - Update

CNN: Reports " Trump has a Carter-style Iran problem as the economy drags before the midterms "

Let's Get Real:

Trump has one chance not to become another Carter, he has to place ground troops in Kharg Island, and make it plain that if Iran moves it forces he will blow Kharg Island in to the heavens, and place troops to take Iran's nuclear material. The media will worry about casualties, Reagan lost 241 US Marines in Beirut in 1983, but went on to win 49 States, 59% of the vote and 525 Electoral votes in the 1984 Presidential Election.  Also in 1983 he invaded Grenada.  Presidents who lead win, Carter never lead, thus his one term.  This is Trump's last chance.

Ukraine ATTACKS Russian Oil Depo - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " At least 13 people have been killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian republic of Tatarstan, officials have said. "

Let's Get Real:

This strategic campaign by Ukraine has been successful so far, but blog worries Putin on the back feet might use the Truman option, nuke Kiev and dare NATO to act or invade the Baltic States or Poland, as to divert attention from the Ukraine.  The Russian people are getting angry, the economy is being help up by the Russian shadow fleet transporting sanction Russian oil.  The War in the Ukraine is grinding on, it could take years for a peace solution.

Hunter Biden on Former President Biden - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " Hunter Biden talks about how his father’s cancer has spread and is causing him pain .....Joe Biden’s prostate cancer is reportedly ‘debilitating’, even as ex-president continues to speak out on public issues "

Let's Get Real:

One feels sorry for the former President, but there are limits, even his former VP has stated in her memoirs that it was reckless for Biden to run in 2024, it is reported that his Politburo White House thought that Biden would need a wheelchair in his 2nd term if elected.  That they would have to shown signs of life after 6 months to the press.  This is up there when President Woodrow Wilson had a stroke at the end of his term and the 2nd Mrs Wilson was the effective President.  There is also JFK's ill health and affairs that the press did not cover.  There is a trend here folks, Democratic liberal Press and the failure of the press to cover Democrats who are President.  If press had covered Biden at the start of Administration with same vilgance it covers Trump he might not have run in 2024 and we could have had President Harris not Trump in the Oval.

Putin THREAT to NATO after Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.01am post the following, " Putin could 'test NATO resolve in next few years' "

Let's Get Real:

The Ukraine is pushing Russia, its long range attacks are hurting Russia's production of oil, as noted the Russian car drivers are having fights over petrol, Crimea is in a state of Emergency, Russians that moved there, are leaving.  Thus Putin needs a diversion, he knows Trump is erratic and weak, the best time to act with Trump in the White House.  NATO or Western Europe is weak, Poland, Germany and the Baltic States are spending real money on defence, they see the threat from Putin.  There is a new UK PM untested by War and French Elections coming up, the extreme right could win.  Thus perfect time for action, small ground invasion or a massive cyber attack on a NATO countries.  Trump is risk averse and will want to appease and NATO countries would be in a state of shock.  Its coming folks, it cannot be avoided.

Plagiarism and the Professor - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has admitted his force "dropped the ball" when it spent four months investigating a journalist examining claims about a University of Cambridge professor embroiled in a plagiarism row.  "

Let's Get Real:

This blogger took 6 years in all to get its 2 degrees; BSc (Econ) honours, degree in International politics and International History, and BA Honours from the Open University, left Secondary Education with nothing, thank God for the now defunct Coleg Harlech, found I was dyslexic and gave me kick up the backside I needed; and takes the issue of plagiarism very seriously, it seems Elite Universities don't, if this blog had committed plagiarism it would have been thrown out without a 2nd look.  The race card is to often use in these cases, you judge someone on the work, not colour of their skin.  Woke has gone to far, smell the coffee you Elites.

Ukraine Drones hit Russian Oil Refineries - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 8.50am post the following, " Ukraine hits two Russian oil refineries - Zelensky "

Let's Get Real:

This is the right tactic by the Ukraine, make the Russian people angry at Putin and the Regime, there have been filmed reports of fights at Russian petrol stations as people want fuel.  The Russian economy is taking a hit over the War in the Ukraine, the only thing keeping the Russian economy going is the high price of oil, another great idea by President Trump and his War of choice with Iran.  The Putin Regime as with the Tehran Regime has to be removed, both are threats to the World security.

Preventable Russian Strikes on Kyiv - Updare

Guardian: Reports the following, " Zelenskyy calls for more air defences as Russian attack on Kyiv kills at least 17 "

Let's Get Real:

Thus 17 people have been killed who could have been prevented from being killed if the US and Western Europe had supplied as promise defensive missiles to take out Russian Missiles.  POTUS has backtracked on giving Patriot missiles to the Ukraine, thus Kyiv cannot defend itself and the West is out to lunch.  The failure in the Ukraine by the West might make Putin believe he can attack the Baltic States or Poland.

US OUT of long range precise missiles - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.09pm post the following, " US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during war, sources say "

Let's Get Real:

This is what happens when you only use bombing, Trump should have taken Kharg Island and close Iran's tap for oil at the start! It is not to late, to use ground troops and finish this WAR.  The use of ground troops is the one thing that would frighten the theocracy in Tehran.   Trump has lost all Presidential Credibility when it comes to the WORLD, no one is afraid of Trump anymore, he is loser, up there with Richard Nixon and LBJ, at least these two Presidents had major achievements, Nixon with China and better relationship with then then USSR and LBJ with the Great Society, Civil Rights and voting rights act o 1965. Trump has nothing to compare!

Iran's Last Chance - Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.04pm post the following, " Trump warns this is 'last chance' for Iran to sign a 'good document' "

Let's Get Real:

How many times does the Tehran Regime have to LIE to Trump before Trump gets the fact that they cannot be trusted.  The Theocracy is leading Trump by the nose, he does not understand that he is being conned by Tehran, they are playing games, show a bit of leg then hit Tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.  Trump should watch the Path to War on HBO, LBJ an erratic President played by North Vietnam.  Trump could learn lessons from the Vietnam War.

Iran denies TALKS - Update

BBC News: Reports " Iran has denied Donald Trump's claim that new talks on ending the conflict would begin on Monday "

Let's Get Real:

Here we go again, Iran breaks its word on talks with the US, does Trump ever get tired of being pushed on his heels by Tehran Theocracy, they are making Trump and the US a laughing stock around the World.  The Trump Oval deserves to lose the House in November.  The US Credibility will have to wait for another President in the Oval Office to get Presidential Credibility back for the US.

Trump cancels Iran Strike - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.34am post the following, " Donald Trump says the US is "ready to go" and launch strikes on Iran, but has decided to halt the strikes for the "future benefit of the world". " 

Let's Get Real:

Here is Trump being erratic again, planned bombing stopped because there is peace deal in the works, we have heard this before, and nothing happens! The Tehran Regime is playing Trump, they know that he is weak, he wants of the Iran War, he is afraid of the Democrats taking the House, more througher investigations and of course Impeachment again and a pointless Impeachment trial in the Senate.  Then the 2028 Presidential cycle starts, Trump will hate it, the media will move to cover that than him, he will go crazy!

Ukraine ATTACKS Russia - Update

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine has said it carried out overnight strikes deep inside Russia, hitting a major oil refinery and an airfield that houses Russian strategic aviation. "

Let's Get Real:

President Trump has shown he cannot be trusted, he has backtracked on giving Kyiv Patriot Missiles, its the same with Iran War, stop and start, Kyiv has to act as if it's alone, it has to Russia hard, make the Russian people feel the costs of the war.  The Ukraine has hit Russia's Amazon, these warehouses that feed Russian Drones and small Russian business.  NATO, well Western Europe, has to support Ukraine or its them next! 

Trump backtracking on Patriot Missiles for the Ukraine - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " Trump backtracks from promise to let Ukraine build Patriot missiles "

Let's Get Real:

This shows Trump as weak, he is erratic, and does not keep his word.  The Ukraine President thought he had a deal over the Patriot missiles, the Ukraine is being hit every night, Western Europe needs to help more, the US word under Trump cannot be trusted, Western Europe is at stake, if Putin wins the Ukraine, then NATO countries come under threat.  The new UK PM has stated support for the Ukraine, time for ACTION over words.

Former VP Harris and the 2028 Presidential race - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.59pm post the following, " Kamala Harris says she has "not made a decision" on potential 2028 run "

Let's Get Real:

It would be surprising if former VP Harris becomes the Nominee again, she lost it 2024, this blog can only think of 2 Presidents who came back from losing the general election, they were Nixon in 1968 after losing in 1960 and Trump in 2024 who lost it 2020, whatever he says on the subject.  In 2028, the 1st Democratic Primary will be South Carolina, a large African American vote, that should help Harris and Senator Booker.  The former is not a good candidate, one hopes the Democrats chose a moderate nominee like Bill Clinton or Obama at a push, the 2028 cycle should start after the Mid Terms, there a long list of potential Democratic candidates.

Iran ATTACKS Egypt Port - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Tehran used Egypt port strike to signal threat to global energy supply: report "

Let's Get Real:

This is Tehran warning the World, it can hit anywhere it wants in the Middle East and further afield. The US and the West have to take the attack seriously, they should respond and warn Iran off, they are getting bolder, where next, Europe.  The US SHOULD carry on with its strikes, Tehran Regime had to be bought down, for the safety of humanity.

Attack on the Ukraine by Russia - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.04am post the following, " Number of dead rises as Zelenskyy warns 'parents and children' killed overnight " 

Let's Get Real:

This is never ending, the Russians have been pushed back at the front, Ukrainian drones have hit Russia hard, warehouses that supply Russian Drones with parts have been hit, oil Depos have also been hit, as stated Crimea is in a State of Emergency have Ukrainian drones strikes.  President Zelensky has asked Trump for more Patriot missiles to defend the Ukraine, Western leaders should remember its the Ukraine now, it could be Western Europe next if the Ukraine falls to Putin.

Massive US ATTACK on Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports " The US military says it has completed a "heavy wave" of strikes against Iran in retaliation for Tuesday's attempted ballistic missile attacks on American forces. "

Let's Get Real:

The question is what is next, another pause or more attacks on Iran.  The US Navy has to take out bridges, railways and power plants and carry on with the attacks such as water plants.  IN Tehran the people should be forced out to demonstrate against Regime, if theocracy shoots protesters the US should take them out, the people should be free to protest, no more pausing the attacks, winning is better than losing.  One hopes that Trump has learned that lesson.

Iran FAILED Surprise attack on US Bases - Update

 Sky News: Reports in its 2.29am post the following, " 'Surprise attack' on US forces: After several nights of relative calm in the region, the US military accused Iran of an attempted "surprise attack" overnight on Tuesday, claiming Tehran launched "multiple" ballistic missiles at American forces in the Middle East. US Central Command said that all missiles were "successfully intercepted". " 

Lets Get Real:

Thus this shows that Iran cannot be trusted, while Trump is desperate for a peace deal, the Tehran Regime knows that Trump is political trouble and will use this time to have endless talks while planning attacks like the above.  There are factions in Tehran, Revolutionary Guards are the hardliners, they want to carry the fight to the US and its Gulf Allies, the Government is more secular, they want talks, the Supreme Leader if alive is not talking or is a puppet of a the Guard.  Trump has to finish the job, these endless talks are a front, the Theocracy in Tehran is playing Trump, and Trump is such a fool he refuses to see it, this Iran War could turn out to be a major disaster for Trump and the US.  The acceptable outcome is a US win, or a disaster up their with Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. 

SA and the US attack Iranian terrorists in Iraq - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Saudi Arabia and the US have carried out strikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq, ..."

Let's Get Real:

Thus while the Trump Oval talks peace again, the Tehran Regime gets allied terrorist groups to do their bidding, and export terrorism. The Trump Oval must accept that it cannot win a war, with its start and stop war, the Tehran Regime is playing him, they know his VP is against the War and so are the American people.  The great deal maker Trump has not sold the war to the American people or the MAGA base in the Republican Party, and the political cycle never stops, the Mid Terms in November and the 2028 Presidential cycle starts in 2027.  Time is not something Trump has to spare.

President Zelensky meets Trump at the White House - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.28pm post the following, " Zelenskyy says he and Trump had 'good meeting' "

Let's Get Real:

The reason Trump has changed his tune on Zelensky and the Ukraine is the fact that the Ukraine is winning on the front with its Drones and hitting Russia hard with new Drones doing damage to the Russian homeland.  Putin is on the back foot, and he can't hide the fact that Russia has lost a million men through Dearg and injuries.  The Ukraine has lost less due to their ability to developed new technologies and Drones.  The KYIV Governmemt still needs defensive missiles from the US and the continual Western support from NATO and the coalition of the willing.  The Ukraine has a fighting chance now, hope still lives in the Ukraine.

Trump warns Israeli PM and Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Frustrated Trump sends a chilling message to Netanyahu and vows to 'take out' Iran's final untouched nuclear site if deal is not reached "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval does not like to be shown in up public by a friend, specially if that friend is Israel telling him that Iran has been placing its nuclear stockpile in another mountain after Trump bombed Iran last year over the fear of its nuclear stockpile.  The Trump Oval has given peace talks with Iran a chance, its never the last time with Iran, they have talks, shoot at tankers and then have further talks, they are playing Trump for a fool.  The Trump background is real estate and reality TV, he does not understand the Iranian mind set or how to win a WAR.  The President as stated in previous post is listening to his Vice President, J.D Vance, who more concerned about the 2028 race and if he can win the MAGA base and win the General Election.  LBJ made sure his VP kept to the script, he bugged his plane as to know in advance if his VP was about to break with him over the Vietnam War, while that was going on the FBI was bugging the South Vietnam Embassy and discovered that the Nixon Campaign was telling South Vietnam not to go the Paris peace talks.  It would be fair to say that LBJ kept quiet about it, as would cause a constitutional crisis and it would be something that LBJ had over Nixon, the Watergate caper of Nixon trying find out what the Democrats had on the affair, thus the fall of Nixon.

Trump gives peace talks chance with Iran but threatens ACTION if they FAIL - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 4.28pm post the following, " Trump continues threatening Iran if deal is not reached "

Let's Get Real:

Would would Tehran take any notice of Trump and his threats.  The Trump Oval has never followed through with any of its THREATS, Trump is listening to his VP who wants to run in 2028 Presidential cycle, the MAGA faction has an Isolation policy, thank God they were not around in 1940s.  The Afghanistan and Iraq WARS have put off the American voters off from supporting Liberal intervention, JFK or Reagan would have sold the Iran War to the voters, Trump never did, thus a stop and go War in Iran, Trump is weak and thus the US is seen as weak, Trump does not have the time to play games with Iran.

The Biden Tapes - Update

CNN: Reports " Newly released Biden audio recordings include references to ‘classified’ material and struggles with memory "

Let's Get Real:

The tapes show why the Special Prosecutor did not bring charges against President Biden, the tapes showed he knew he had classified documents and told his ghostwriter that fact.  There is also fading memory, this shows that the Prosecutor was right.  This does rise an interesting question, who is writing Biden's Presidential memoirs, from reports its a mighty 500 page memoirs.  That is a hundred pages per year of the Biden Presidency, will he tell the complete truth about him losing the plot, how his inner staff protected him and thought he would need a wheelchair in his 2nd term if he got re-elected.  How he had a disastrous debate with Trump, and how the Democrats pushed him out, who had bloody hands in the affair.  The central question should he have run at all for a 2nd term.  VP Harris thought it was a mistake! The Democrats are trying to write Biden out of the picture before 2028.

PAUSE in US - Iran War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.23pm post the following, " Iran war, day 150 - hopes of peace talks grow after strikes paused for two days "

Let's Get Real:

This is a mistake by the Trump Oval, he listening to VP Vance, an idiot who stated that WW2 was bought to end by talks, as we know both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were destroyed, the Allies demanded and got Unconditional Surrender.  The Trump Oval has to destroy the Tehran Regime, it is EVIL, you do talk to EVIL, Chamberlain found that out in 1939.  Thus the US should restart bombing in till the Tehran Regime does surrender.

PM Burnham to meet Zelensky of Ukraine - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Zelensky arrives in UK ahead of meeting Burnham "

Let's Get Real:

The State leader to meet the new PM Burnham will be President Zelensky of Ukraine, showing the close ties between the Ukraine and the UK, the new PM has promised to support the Ukraine as Starmer did, this has irked the Russians, therefore good move by Burnham.  The new PM could find himself in a European War in 2029/30, if he wants to avoid that he had to make that the Ukraine wins on the ground and air with Drones.

The Left of the Democratic Party - Update

BBC News: Reports on the raise Socialist Democrats and the election hopes of the Democratic Party.

Let's Get Real:

The Democratic Party is being taken over by the LEFT, Trump calls them Communist, this faction has no understanding of the US, one can argue that they don't like the US much, J.Edgar Hoover would have had a field day with them, this faction could do with being bugged.  They are dangerous, as Trump took over the Republicans, the hard left is trying to take over the Democratic Party.  The question is can LEFT wing Candidates win in the fly over States, then we come to 2028 schedule for Presidential Primaries, the Democrats have decided to keep South Caroline as the 1st Primary, due to the African - American vote, last time this was done was to help President Biden in his re-election in 24, and we all know how that ended, they forgot that Barack Obama won the Iowa caucus in 08, a majority White state, it showed he could win White votes, the rest in history.  Then we have the problem of Iowa and New Hampshire, NH has a legal requirement that they go first in Primaries, so who will break first, NH or the Democratic Party.  Thus the same issue with Iowa, they tend to go first, small States that can road test candidates, many a candidate has been broken in Iowa and NH or seen their campaigns rise in the polls, Clinton in 1992.  The Democrats could be creating their own defeat in 26 and 28.

US - Iran Strikes - Update

BBC News: Reports " Iran says it has carried out drone strikes on US military facilities and bases across the Middle East in retaliation for the 13th consecutive night of American attacks on the country. " 

Let's Get Real:

This WAR can only end when the Tehran Regime is taken down by Trump.  If Trump can keep his nerve he will be the President that the Iranian problem.  CNN and the left wing media are acting like the Appeasing UK Times of the 1930s.  They seem to have forgotten that the Tehran Regime killed over thirty thousand of its own people when they protested against the Regime.  Trump should ignore the Media, and win the WAR, he can restore Presidential Credibility and take it to the Democrats in the Mid Terms.  This is Trump's one chance at greatness!

Trump considering Massive Attack on Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.59pm post the following, " Trump 'considering massive attack' on Iran "

Let's Get Real:

Trump has threatened such actions before bottling it, cowardice does not suit WORLD LEADERS. The Trump Oval, leads the last Super Power, its words mean something, POTUS has lost Presidential Credibility with his wasted words, the Oval must ACT and mean it, Trump has to win this time or he is a failure, a loser, thus one hopes Trump wins this one for the Gipper.

SA to go nuclear on condition they recognise Israel - Update

BBC News: Reports "  Saudis must recognise Israel for nuclear deal, says Trump "

Let's Get Real:

This will change the Middle East if Saudi Arabia goes nuclear and must recognise Israel, it will be a major foreign policy achievement for the Trump Oval, SA is  close ally of the US, this is the reason that Iran has told the Houthis of Yemen to attack SA tankers in the Red Sea, after the War with the US restarted.  Thus US will have to protect SA Tankers, while fighting Iran.  The Democrats have passed another resolution to curtail the WAR POWERS of Trump, he has to win the war before the Mid Terms.

Tehran threatens EYE for an EYE - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 8.08pm post the following, " Iran warns of 'eye for an eye' response if infrastructure hit '

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime is on the back foot, they fear the US attacking Tehran.  This is the time for the US to act, take out the evil regime while they are on the back foot, the US can resist any Iranian attacks in the Gulf and abroad.  The Theocracy know their days are numbered, time to break their neck, take out bridges, railway and power stations, bring Tehran to a stand still.  Make the people angry at the Regime, this is the time to go for the win.

Trump threatens Tehran Bridges and Power Plants - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.03pm post the following, " Trump threatens to hit bridges and power plants in Iran "

Let's Get Real:

This is a good move by Trump, put Tehran on notice if they shoot at any tankers in the Strait of Hormuz then Trump will take out civic infrastructure in Tehran.  This could force the people out on the streets, no power, no water, no bridges, make them more afraid of the US than their own EVIL REGIME, and bring down the theocracy in Iran, Trump could save future lives in the region and around the World.

Iran's nuclear stockpile and Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.47pm post the following, " Trump says US will hit reported uranium stockpile site 'pretty soon' "

Let's Get Real:

One of the principal reason for the WAR was to removes Iran's nuclear stockpile, if the Tehran Regime has moved it, then the US will have to send in the Bombers again, Trump should not have warned them, someone needs to explain operational security to Trump.  Time for action less talk! 

The cost of the US - Iran War - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 7.21pm post the following,  " War’s total cost could exceed $29bn for US "

Let's Get Real:

This is not a high number, Afghanistan and Iraq cost more in the end, Iran you can argue is more important, take out the cancer of the Middle East, take out the theocracy in Tehran and and save lives.  This is Trump's chance to make the history books, win and be successful.

More US STRIKES on IRAN - Update

Fox News:  Reports the following, " Trump orders fresh US strikes on Iran to weaken threats against Strait of Hormuz "

Let's Get Real:

The President has not listened for calls to have a pause, this is the right move by the Trump Oval.  The Trump Oval has to hammer Iran, force the Tehran Regime to talk or force it from power.  The Revolutionary Guard wants to fight on, the secular government wants talks, there are factions in Iran, Trump should force them in to talks.

John Healy New Chancellor - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.18pm post the following, " John Healey named chancellor "

Lets Get Real:

Thus this shows what a principled Resignation gets you, this blog thought that Healy would get his old job back as Defence Secretary when he was walking up 10 Downing Street.  This a plum of an appointment, but also means that Healey will have to find funds for Starmer's Defence plan, and make it stick to keep the Military in the MOD happy.  Also the new PM want to end rough sleeping, that is the best thing he could come up!  This will not work, because rough sleepers have various reasons for not going to shelters, they are on drugs or have dogs or other mental problems.  Our new PM the boy wonder thinks he can spend half his time in Manchester, the World does not wait for politicians to get their act together, what if Putin tries something to test the new PM and NATO.  The Civil Service will make sure he attends leaders Summits, he think he has free time, he cannot spend half his live on trains and cars going to Manchester.   This blog can see a crash in political fortunes to the boy wonder, he might have charisma, but will he be a good WAR LEADER, should Putin try something in 2030 before an expected UK ELECTION.  All political careers end in failure, you have to be very lucky for that not to happen, just ask Sir Keir Starmer.

10 Day Pause suggested in US - Iran War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.34am post the following, " Mediators propose '10-day pause on strikes' "

This blog would not be surprised if Trump Oval goes for this pause, he has shown a yellow streak although the WAR, the Tehran will support it and then go back to hitting tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.  The Trump Oval would be foolish to go for this pause, it would allow Iran rest from the bombing, and they could hide their drones and missiles.  Thus kind readers of this blog should not be surprised if Trump starts his appeasement rhetoric again.  The US should be bombing the Iranian civic structures day and night, that means bombing bridges, power stations, airports, road, anything helps the Regime function.  A stop and go WAR does not help the US Military, it fact it causes frustration with the Oval Office.

PM Andy Burnham - Update

 BBC News: Reports that Andy Burnham has become Prime Minister today.

Let's Get Real:

Let's recall ALL PMs come in to OFFICE with hope, less that two years ago Sir Keir Starmer came in to OFFICE with Labour's second biggest majority.  The U turns, bad poll number and a disaster in the local elections did Sir Keir in, also he was disliked, the Sir Keir was seen as an robot with no charm, the new fellow Andy Burnham has charisma, let's see what his poll number are like after six months, if not good and Labour MPs see themselves out of a job then they have blood in the mouth, they got rid of the Robot, they will not shy about getting rid of the body wonder with charisma.  Politics is a brutal game, events, events can do a PM in, there is the WAR in the Ukraine and US v Iran in the Middle East.  The boy wonder should enjoy this time, it wont come again.  

US Soldier killed in Iraq - Update

Daily Mail: Reports the following, "  The US military has announced a third service member has been killed in the Middle East by an Iranian drone as tensions between the two countries continue to hit a peak. "

Let's Get Real:

As this blog suggested some time ago, Iran would take the WAR outside its borders.  Thus far it has been the Gulf States, Jordan, now it is a drone strike that was being defused in Iraq.  What if Tehran restarts the Iraq - Iran WAR, that would be nightmare for the Trump Oval.  The Trump Administration has to go all in when comes to the Iran War, win quickly and finish the job, before Iran acts and the Mid Terms.

Russia HITS Kyiv Hard - Update

Guardian: Reports " Russia pounds Kyiv for five hours in one of its biggest ballistic missile attacks "

Let's Get Real:

The Ukraine drone strikes on Russia and Crimea has been very effective, people are fighting for oil and the Crimea is in a state of Emergency.  Putin has to do something to divert attention from his failures, the meat grinder that is the Ukraine front for Russian Forces, the Ukraine attacks on oil depos has had the desired effect of waking up the Russian people to the fact that they have not won the Ukraine War and by this rate they will never, thus according to Western Intelligence Putin might attack Poland or the Baltic States to see how Trump Oval and NATO reacts, the UK will have a new PM, who is untested in international affairs, and wants to return the UK back to the 1970s.   The Andy Burnham might have failed before he has even started.   The Labour Party could be kicked from office in 2029 or 2030 General Election and we could have a REFORM Government.  

Two US Service Personnel killed and one missing after Iranian Attack - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Two US troops killed and one missing after Iranian attack in Jordan "

Let's Get Real:

Thus far the US has lot 16 Service Personnel, the US Navy hit Iran again after the attacks on Jordan.  The US has to hit Iran hard, cut off power to the people of Iran, taken down bridges, cut off water, make the citizens of Iran more afraid of the US than their own evil regime.  The Trump Oval does not have all the time in the WORLD, the cost of oil is going up and then there is the US Mid Terms in November.  If the Democrats take the  House and Senate they could curtail US action in the Middle East, the Democratic Party of JFK and Bill Clinton has gone, the socialist left is trying to take over the Democratic Party as Trump took over the Republican Party.  Thus Trump has to move fast and the WAR by winning it for the US, delay will help the Tehran Regime and the left in the US.

New Strikes on Iran - Update

Guardian:  Reports the following, " US launches seventh night of Iran strikes as Hormuz conflict escalates "

Let's Get Real:

Thus far Trump has not bottled it, he has been chicken before, numerous times over Iran.  The US Navy should take out the Iranian civic structures from power plants, railways, bridges, anything that helps the Regime, Trump should be the President who took action and finished off the theocracy in Iran.

Iran suspends MOU - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 1.54pm post the following, " Iran has 'suspended its commitments' to preliminary agreement, official says " 

Let's Get Real:

This hardly breaking news, Iran has broken the MOU since it was signed by the US.  The US has been to guarded with its strikes, this is the time for day and night strikes on Iran, take out ALL the civic structure, railways, power and water plants, bridges, take out anything that supports the Tehran Regime.  The Iranian Government can attempt to strike US assets or Allies, just shows they are weak.  Trump must finish off the Regime before the Mid Terms, Trump can not afford another Tet aka 1968, allow the Tehran Regime to escape.

Russia 's Amazon warehouses hit by Ukraine Drones - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Eight people have been killed and 62 injured after Ukrainian drones struck two warehouses belonging to Russia's biggest online retailer, Wildberries, according top Russian officials.  "

Let's Get Real:

This is a good Tactical move by the Ukraine, make it difficult for the Russian government to get part for their drones, it is the company's fault for giving material to Russian drones, these drones and missiles hit KYIV and other Ukranian cities although the week, the Russians don't care about human lives, they have shown this in the Ukraine War.

Iran threatens more ATTACKS - Update

Sky News: Reports the following its 11:31am post the following, " Iran threatens 'more crushing' retaliation to US strikes "

Let's Get Real:

The Iranian Forces have been destroyed in the view of Trump Oval, land, sea and air.  Either Teran is lying or the Trump Oval, is living in his own WORLD.  Thus hard to be 100% certain at this point, Trump has been known to create his own truth, the Trump Oval has no Presidential Credibility, thus his speech last night on Election security was not carried by some of the networks.  A WIN in by Trump would force the news networks to cover the Oval Office.

US hits bridges, airport, railways - Update

Iran hits 2 tankers in the Strait of Hormuz- Update

BBC  News: Reports in its 6.34am post the following, " UAE says one killed in 'brazen' Iranian attacks on tankers in strait "

Let's Get Real:

This comes after another US strike on Iran, the Trump Oval has to finish what it started, that means no more stop and go attacks, there should morning and night attacks and the placing of troops on Kharg Island to take the oil from Iran.  The Tehran and appeasing media won't expect that, they all want talks, even if that means appeasing Iran.  Trump has to win this war he started.

Trump places new blockade on Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 3.27pm post the following, " Trump says US reinstating blockade on Iranian ports  "

Let's Get Real:

This means the ceasefire is over, the blockade is the least bad option for Trump and it hurts Iran on the economic front and negates the US placing troops on Kharg Island.  The Trump Oval has to keep its nerve and keep the blockade going, he is charging 20% of the cargo as the US will secure the Strait of Hormuz from Iran.  Thus we shall if this works, one doubts that Trump can keep to this course.

Tanker Decline in Strait of Hormuz - Update

Guardian: Reports the following in its 11.02am post, " Traffic through strait of Hormuz plummets after US-Iran strikes "

Let's Get Real:

This can't go on, it will effect the Western economy sooner or later.  Tehran has shown its word cannot be trusted, it lies as it talks, the are playing a crafty game of waiting out Trump and the US Navy.   The Mid Terms are coming and the Democrats should win the House of Representatives, then we have two years of Trump investigations and Impeachment, followed by the 2028 Presidential cycle.

Iran BROKE new Deal with Trump

Sky News: Reports in its 2.44pm post the following, " Donald Trump has claimed the US and Iran agreed a deal yesterday, but Iran broke the agreement "within an hour" when it fired a drone at a ship. "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime lies or as postulated there are rival factions in Iran, the dovish secular government and the Hawks in the Revolutionary Guard.  The Hawks want to carry on the WAR, the Doves want some peace.  As stated many times, the theocracy cannot be trusted, they lie as they breath, and they have the Drones and will fire them on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.  TRUMP must take out the theocracy, its him or them that can win this War.

Latest US strikes on Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " The US insists the Strait of Hormuz is open, despite Iran saying it has closed the waterway amid renewed strikes. "

Let's Get Real:

Finally the US is hitting power plants, railways and airports, the US should carry on, bring Iran to its knees, it is an evil regime that cannot be trusted, it has to be taken down, talks are useless, they break their word, there are factions, a secular government that is dovish and the Revolutionary Guard who want to fight on, Trump cannot afford to appease Tehran, his Presidency is on the line and his Credibility.

US hits Iran Again - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " CENTCOM says additional US strikes against Iran are underway "

Let's Get Real:

The attacks are at the same level as before, in the South near the Strait of Hormuz, no bridges or power plants hit in Tehran, no ground troops on Kharg Island.  Trump does not have the backbone to settle the Iran War once and for all, he has failed as other US Presidents have, cage and destroy the Tehran Regime, they are evil, and must be destroyed.

How Trump got Iran WRONG - Update

CNN: Reports the following, " How Trump has misjudged Iran "

Let's Get Real:

Trump made one major mistake, he did not understand the Middle East, the politics or culture.  The Trump Oval comes Real Estate and Reality TV? That is all he knows, then he started a War he did not finish, once you start a war you finish it, Presidential Credibility is at stake.  Trump did not learn the lessons of Obama in Syria.  One would think he would learn that weakness never works, thus Trump must finish the WAR by winning it, otherwise he is a big loser! 

 

US to Iran tonight - Trump at NATO Summit, - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.00pm post the following, " Donald Trump warned the US is preparing to launch more strikes against Iran, after he said he considered the US-Iran truce to be “over”. " 

Let's Get Real:

This Trump playing games, will he carry through with his threat, this blog has its doubts, he has threatened Iranian civilization before and backtracked before the attacks.  The Trump Oval has to follow through, he has no Presidential Credibility on Iran, how many u - turns have we seen, more u turns than Sir Keir Starmer.  The American people support winners, appeasers and failures do not have good reviews, just ask Richard Nixon or LBJ.  Trump needs to win in Iran.

Iranian Leadership is Scum - Trump at NATO Summit - Open

BBC News: Reports in its 9.52am post the following, " Scum', 'sick' and 'over': Trump's comments on Iran "

Let's Get Real:

This Trump having another tantrum, he says the MOU is finished but still allows talks to go with Iran, how much will you bet that Trump will change his mind later, Trump has no Presidential Credibility when it comes to Iran, how many times he walked back threats, the Oval is erratic and bonkers, living in his own world.  Other Presidents would have finished the job, Trump is a chicken.

US hits Iran over hits to Tankers in the Strait of Hormuz - Update

Sky News: Reports in the 10.17pm post the following, " US launches 'powerful strikes' on Iran "

Let's Get Real:

Iran is playing the US for fools, it goes quite for a time the attacks tankers in the Strait, it is testing the US, if they will react, expect this to go on for weeks and months, one can assume they will attempt something big before the Mid Terms, think Tet in 1968, they might invade Iraq, to see if the US comes to the assist of an ally, or they could close down the Strait again just before the November vote, when incidents happen the Trump plays down the event, it does not want to go back to WAR with Iran, Trump started a War he could not finish.  The would be incorrect, he did when chicken, 12 US Service personnel lost their lives for nothing, any other President would have hit Iran hard, and taken down the Regime. Trump is a TACO President, history on not kind on appeasers or chickens.

Zelensky needs more supports - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Ukraine's president plans to use the Nato meeting in Turkey to urge Kyiv's allies to deliver the air defence systems it urgently needs to protect it from escalating Russian attacks."

Let's Get Real:

The NATO allies do not want a war with Russia's Putin, if they don't support Kyiv then they could find themselves in a WAR with Russia in 2030.  The Germans and Poland have increased defence spending, the UK has hardly started, its 1914 all over again.  What if the UK has to bring back enforced conscription, the young would have no idea what has hit them.  The UK has to wake up, before it's to late.

Has WOKE gone to far - Update

CNN: Reports the following, " White House report accuses Smithsonian leadership of radical ideology "

Let's Get Real:

Has WOKE gone to far, the answer is YES, saw a documentary on Thomas Jefferson on the History Channel, the last half hour was about how he fathered black children with Black female slave when she was 16, he freed his Black children when they reached 21, but his plantation slaves were sold off when he died, YES WRONG to have any slaves but he WROTE the Declaration of Independence from the UK.  Also as President he purchased millions of more land to expand the US, he was a founding father of the US, great men are flawed, even clay feet, but still great.

UK Fighters intercepted Russisn planes near UK Carrier - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.32am post the following, " UK fighter jets intercept Russian plane dropping sonar trackers near carrier " 

Let's Get Real:

This blog is tired of the Russian challenges in the air and sea, what about taking on these challenges, let's start by our Fighters taking on and shooting down Russian planes, if they are such a threat UK assets, the Russians will go to far one day, it might happen in Poland or the Baltic States, let's castrate the Russian Bear first, might prevent WW3.

1776 - 2026 America Celebrate their Independence

BBC News: Reports in its 4.13pm post the following, " Pop stars to perform across US to celebrate 250 years of independence "

Let's Get Real:

Thus US celebrates its 250th birthday.  The US is great, yes it has had its flaws, slavery etc, it took deaths and a civil war to STOP, even then it took in till the 1960s for African Americans to get their full rights, in the 21st Century it elected its 1st black President.  On the plus side we had US leadership during WW1 and 2.  The great President Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, US is not perfect but still a Shining City on a Hill.

Threat to Poland - Update

 BBC News: Reports the following, " Polish PM warns critical months ahead in face of Russian threat "

Lets Get Real:

The Poles and the Baltic States are worried, they fear that Russia could do a false flag operation, or have a plane or helicopter go down in NATO country, and then the Russians send it troops, what would President Trump do, what would the new UK PM Andy Burnham do, very new to OFFICE, would he press the red button to save Poland, we have let Poland down in 1939 and 1945 when it was taken over by the Soviets, even after the Free Polish Forces had fought for the Allies in World War 2.   Trump is erratic, would he take action, he has shown that he is a puppet of Putin, will defend Poland even after they have increased their defence spending.   It is worry for Poland and the Baltic States, one gets the impression that the UK voter does not get how close to war we are, most of them were not about for the 1930s, and thus do not understand the threat.  Let's hope the intelligence networks are wrong about the Kremlin Plans, if not we are in the Summer of 1914, and have no idea what is coming.

Moscow will Fall - Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.29am post the following, " 'Moscow will fall': Ukraine's drone chief talks up success of recent strikes "

Lets Get Rea:

This is putting the horse before the cart, KYIV has been hammered of late by the Russians, they are on the backfoot because of their loses in the Ukraine and the successful drone strike in CRIMEA, the Russian appointed Governor has declared a State of Emergency, the Russian people do not know of the Russian losses in the Ukraine, in between those killed, injured and lost, the total is 1.4 million, the losses in Afghanistan was less but helped lead to the downfall of the USSR.  The Putin Government is worried it will face the face of the Imperial Russia and Tsar Nicholas II, the lack of gas has lead to fights and the economy is going South, even the bankers are getting on the TV to say the WAR SHOULD END.  There are people in prison for holding up a white sheet as a form of resistance to Putin.   Thus Putin as stated in the previous post could invade Poland, to see show that NATO is a paper tiger and get the West to stop supporting the Ukraine, we are the 1930s again, appeasement wont work and we have a new PM Andy Burnham who has not been tested,  being MAYOR OF GREATER MANCHESTER does not cut it, Putin could see his chance of action before 2030.

Russia thtreat to Poland - Update

Daily Mail: Reports the following, " The Kremlin is planning an armed incursion on Polish land to test Nato's response, according to Washington.  "

Let's Get Real:

Putin wants public support, what better than attacking Poland, part of Russia in the Imperial Era and a satellite of the USSR, it would show that NATO was weak and count on the fact that Trump is a puppet of Putin or a chicken after Iran.  PUTIN is facing gas shortages in Russia, and the economy is tanking, and the people are suffering due to the War in the Ukraine.  This could be 1905 again and Putin will have to grant reforms as did Tsar Nicholas II.

Labour did not plan for 2024 victory - Update

BBC News: Reports " Sir Keir Starmer's former chief of staff has conceded that Labour failed to properly prepare for power in the run-up to its landslide general election win. "

Let's Get Real:

The REAL problem for the coming Labour Government in 2024, was not its u - turns, but the character of the PM, so say he has no charisma is an understatement, by comparison Sir John Major, the UK PM between 1990 - 97, had charisma to spare, the cartoon and sketch writers had him wearing his panse over his trousers, he was liked even in 1997, the day he left office, he went and watched the cricket, what will Sir Keir do, complain to the left wing media that he was stabbed in the back by Andy Burnham, and say his 2 years were great no matter the view of the public.  

Andy Burnham in a Economic hole over Defence-Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.10am post the following, " Team Burnham 'furious' over defence shortfall - and why it could be more than £4.7bn "

Let's Get Real:

PM Starmer is being pushed out by Andy Burnham, thus he is leaving him a explosive political present.  The UK could be at war with Russia in a few years over the Baltic States or Poland.  Thus WW3 could be around the corner, and the UK is not ready, due to Conservative and Labour failures over the years.  Thus PM Andy Burnham needs to learn fast.

Iran Refuses talks with the US - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Iran refuses new US talks until MOU conditions implemented, Hormuz stays under Tehran's control " 

Let's Get Real:

Here again Tehran is playing the US, they want to see how far they can push Trump Oval.  Trump Oval promises the furies on Iran but never follows through, Tehran Regime knows it is safe, that Trump will never take action, that Trump is more afraid of the Mid Terms and the Democratic investigation will happen should they take the House.  The War was a strategic blunder that was made worse by Trump not following through, if Trump did not have the backbone he should not have started the War in the first place.

Mere 2% bounce for Labour under Andy Burnham - Update

Daily Mail: Reports that the Labour has only gained 2% in the polls since the expected Coronation of Andy Burnham as PM, a YouGov poll found Reform on 20%, Conservative on 20% and Labour on 20%.

Let's Get Real:

Thus there will be no quick election, Burnham will never risk losing so many Labour backbencher MPs, only got the job as PM because Labour MPs fear losing under under Sir Keir Starmer.  Thus Opposition Parties will have to wait in till 2029/30.  If WW3 does not break out before that due to the Ukraine War, and Putin on the backfoot in the Ukraine.  There is always the erratic President in the White House, you never know with Trump!

MOD wanted 28 Billion, PM Starmer gives them 15 Billion - Defence Update

BBC News: Reports 11.02am post the following, " Almost £80bn on defence per year by 2029, Starmer says "

Let's Get Real:

The MOD wanted 28 billion in case Putin's Russia does something in the Baltic States or Poland, to draw attention away from fuel shortages due to the STRIKES from the Ukraine and the War in the Ukraine not going well. PUTIN is on the backfoot, he needs to make sure the people support and not demand his head, as was the case of Tsar Nicholas II.   As in 1905, and loss of Port Arthur lead calls for reform, the same could happen to Putin.  Thus the UK's MOD needs the money from the future PM Burnham.

Are there talks in Doha between the US and Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports on a disagreement between Iran and the US on a planned meeting in Doha over the MOU.

Let's Get Real:

The Revolutionary Guard is playing Trump and his Administration, POTUS so wants a winning deal that he is living in his own World.  The Trump Oval wants out of the WAR he started, he has no understanding of Middle East politics or culture.  As in the US there are hawks and Doves in Iran, the Hawks are the Revolutionary Guard, the Doves in Iranian terms is the chosen secular Government.  The talks are meant to be about Iran's nuclear stockpile, Tehran wants to talk about the MOU and its meaning.  The Trump Oval is being played by diplomatic masters!

US and Iran Stand Down over Strait of Hormuz - Update

BBC News: Reports " The US and Iran have agreed to "stand down" following an exchange of strikes over the past few days, media reports cite a US official as saying. "

Let's Get Real:

Thus it seems that when Trump talks tough he does not mean it, the threats seem to frighten Tehran, that is a good thing, why any one would be afraid of Trump is beyond this blogs Understanding or reason.  The US Navy cannot stay near Iran forever, to make sure they keep to their word.  The Tehran Regime will ACT when the US Navy has left or Trump is no longer in power or his powers have been curtailed by a Democratic Congress after the Mid Terms!

Trump's threat to Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 10.27am post the following,  " Trump says US may be 'forced' to 'complete the job' "

Let's Get Real:

Trump should finish the WAR he started, losers do not look good in the history books! Trump is a chicken, he writes cheques he can't pay.  HOW many times has Trump threatened to erase Iran, he always bottles it, the Allies WW2 destroyed Axis powers, not talk to them as VP Vance suggested on Meet the Press.  Obama had the Assad Regime in Syria, they crossed his red line and he did not ACT.  Trump is another Obama, WEAK.

US and Iran in more ATTACKS - Update

BBC News: Reports " The US has conducted new strikes on Iran, following a drone attack on a Panama-flagged vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday. "

Let's Get Real:

As stated in previous post, Tehran is playing Trump, to be more precise the Revolutionary Guard, the religious hawks wanted the WAR to go on, even the suppose Supreme Leader has placed the success of the MOU in the hands of the President of Iran, a dove in Iranian terms, but the secular government has to be careful of the Revolutionary Guard, they play for keeps. Thus the War goes on.
