Duchess of Sussex in Netflix Deal - Update
Aircraft Carrier to be named after Trump - Update
Guardian: Reports in its 1.29pm post the following, " Navy considers naming carrier for Trump instead of Black war hero as planned - report "
Let's Get Real:
This is either coming from the White House or Trump officials in the Defence Department are wanting to get bonus points with Trump. This is a bad idea, the Democrats have jumped to attack Trump and the Republicans will have to defend it before the Mid Terms in November. The original name was to honour an African - American Naval hero of Pearl Harbour 1941. The honour is well deseved, Trump should rule it out, he is trying to change Washington D.C to honour him, Trump is delusional and needs someone to show him reality.

Russian MASSIVE strike on Ukraine - Update
Sky News: Reports in its 7.14am post the following, " Russia says it carried out 'massive strike' on Ukraine "
Let's Get Real:
The Russians know they are on the backfoot, Putin has admitted that the Russian economy has been hurt by the Ukrainian drone strikes, the Russian people are taking their roubles out of banks, they fear what the next steps could be, Putin escalation of the war to include the Baltic States or Poland, Drone strikes on NATO countries that could lead to WW3. The clock is ticking folks, Midnight is coming and the UK is not ready.
Duke and Duchess of Sussex move back to the UK - Update
BBC News: Reports " The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to move back to the UK, BBC News understands. "
Let's Get Real:
Why NOW, has US fan base for the Sussex brand gone down, the American people like Royals to be Royal and not semi detached as the Duke and Duchess have been, have the kids started to have American accents. That would be bad enough or is the Duke worried about the King's health and his cancer treatment. The Duke and Duchess should go back to Royal duties, the press would soon get bored of them they did traditional Royal visits in the rain. It would make the Royal couple popular again, and the Duke can wear his military uniforms for Royal events. The problem might be the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke burned his bridges with couple after the publication of his memoirs SPARE, the King got away lightly, everyone else got burned from the Queen, the Duke called his brother his arch nemesis, even the Princess of Wales was scolded. The King might have to put his foot down with Prince William, at least show for the public some type reconciliation between the brothers.

Putin ADMITS Ukrainian strikes have damaged the Russian Economy - Update
Sky News: Reports in its 1.55pm post the following, " Vladimir Putin has admitted Ukraine's drone campaign against its oil refineries and infrastructure is affecting the economy. "
Let's Get Real:
The Ukrainian military strategy is working, the deep drone strikes is starting to have an effect on the Russian economy, inflation is going up and as reported people are taking billions of Russian roubles from their banks under the fear that the Putin Regime will use it to support the War in the Ukraine, thus whatever domestic problems Zelensky is in this should not change the strategy of the war. At least the Ukrainian people can protest, in Russia you end up in jail or dead.

Russians taking billions from banks - Update
Sky News: Reports in its 1.46pm post the following, " Russians 'withdraw billions' from banks over fears Kremlin could seize deposits to fund war "
Let's Get Real:
Are the Russian people smelling the coffee of defeat, they could be thinking as the post suggests that the Russian Government under Putin might take their savings to pay for his WAR in the Ukraine. It can also be postulated that the Russian people fear that Putin could fall because he falls ill or there is a couple in Moscow. The Russissns can only take do much deaths in the front line and economic mess due to the WAR.
Burnham states 100% support for the Ukraine - Update
BBC News: Reports " UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said London will continue "to support Ukraine 100%", after Moscow warned of "consequences" following confirmation that British-made drones were used in recent Ukrainian strikes in Russia. "
Let's Get Real:
The new UK PM is following the past policy of previous UK Prime Ministers as the article states. Even the Cambridge English Graduate can see the threat from Putin's Russia and the threat of appeasing Putin. The Russians have made threats to the UK due to the UK helping the Ukraine, UK should worry about cyber threats and even drone strikes, the major worry should be Russian action in the Baltic States or Poland. This is coming, and the UK population is not ready, no government has woke them up to the threat. An East Wind is coming as Sherlock Holmes to Dr Watson during WW2, its out turn now.

Trump THREATENS to bomb US Ally Oman - Update
Sky News: Reports in its 12.52pm post the following, " Trump threatens to 'bomb the s***' out of Oman over Hormuz "
Let's Get Real:
The above shows why the US Cabinet should invoke the 25 Amendment to the US Constitution that would allow the Cabinet to remove a US President who is unfit to serve in Office. Oman is a good ally to the US and Trump betrays them as he done to the other Allies! ONE hopes for a tougher Congress after November, Trump needs to have his powers curbed and placed under some control.
US to reduce military drills with South Korea - Update
BBC News: Reports the following, " President Donald Trump has said the US will "substantially reduce" joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his "very good relationship" with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un. "
Let's Get Real:
Trump needs to get impeached by the US Congress, this will have to wait in till the Democrats take the House in November. The Republicans should agree as they get VP Vance, a true believer in the MAGA movement and gives them a shot at keeping the White House in 2028. The reason that Republicans should agree to Impeachment is the fact that Trump is a danger to US National Security and Asian security as shown by the above.

Mobilisation in Russia - Update
Guardian: Reports " Putin’s recruiters scramble to avoid second mass mobilisation as Ukraine losses mount....Russia is losing 30,000 casualties a month, and the country’s regions are under pressure to feed the ‘meat-grinder’. Experts say it may not be enough "
Let's Get Real:
Thus Russians are on the backfoot, the Ukraine drone strikes are hitting the domestic economy through the HITTING the Russian version of Amazon and hitting the oil refineries of Russia, this causing inflation to go up in Russia, thus ordinary Russians are being hit. The meat grinder of the Ukraine War, has forced Putin to get North Korea to send troops or hire troops at costs. PUTIN has tried mobilisation before, all it did was to make young Russian males head to the Russian border. The Russisan President thinks he is a great historian, he should remember the fate of Tsar Nicholas II, who fell due to the failures of WW1.
UK Drones used to hit deep in Russia - Update
BBC News: Reports in its 11.08am post the following, " UK manufactured drones being used for deep strikes within Russia "
Let's Get Real:
Last night the Ukraine and Russia traded strikes, Russia hit a market in Kyiv, and the Ukraine hit another warehouse of Russia's version of Amazon, Kyiv has stated that these warehouses are to support Russia's Drones, the Russians hit a book market, seeing books burned shows how far Russia has fallen, lead by a WAR CRIMINAL, and committing WAR CRIMES.

Russian rules out CEASEFIRE with the Ukraine - Update
Sky News: Reports in its 10.02am post the following, " Moscow rules out ceasefire in Ukraine that would grant 'breathing space' for Kyiv "
Let's Get Real:
This is the real face of Russia, Putin does not care hoe many Russian soldiers get killed, he wants the Ukraine back in the Russian fold, he wants the USSR back or even better Imperial Russia. US intelligence has reported Putin will try something in the Baltics or Poland at the end of thus or next, he needs the appeaser Trump in the Oval. Putin has to be stopped in the Ukraine or it could lead WW3.

Trump rules out 3rd Term - Update
Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump brushes off reporter question about running for third term in 2028: 'The law is very strong' "
Let's Get Real:
This will disappoint the Elite Liberal Media, TV and Press, it has been a running theme in their background that Trump is a Fascist and would be tyrant. Trump knows he cannot legally go for a 2nd term. The only way he could remain President would be if there was WW3, a conflict with Russia that went nuclear, Trump would not do that as he likes to play golf to much, and he would be stuck in a nuclear bunker! Thus 2028 it will be fresh Candidates for the Presidency, and no Trump, that will drive him crazy, the media spotlight will be off him.

North Korean Missiles used on Ukraine - Update
BBC News: Reports the following, " Ukraine and Russia have continued striking each other overnight, with President Volodymyr Zelensky accusing Moscow of using North Korean missiles "
Let's Get Real:
This shows that Putin and Russia are on the back foot, they need North Korea Troops and missiles, Putin is afraid to call for a general call up as young men have left Russia as to avoid the call up. It'd a meat grinder at the front, Putin does not care about the loss of lives, thus will go to any length to win, even using North Korean troops. The US intelligence community believe that Putin will try something in the Baltics or Poland as a diversion from Ukraine. NATO has to be on guard.

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.
