UK Forces sent to Ukraine will get House of Commons Vote - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.04pm post that Sir Keir Starmer has stated in the Hoise of Commons that before UK troops are placed in the Ukraine the House of Commons will get a vote.

Lets Get Real:

The above only happens if Putin agrees to the new deal, there are doubts thar Kremlin will go along with the Deal, Russia is gradually gaining in the Donbas, and the Kremlin does not want NATO Troops in the Ukraine.  Thus deal might never happen, but Starmer has kept on the good side of Trump, always a good idea when comes to erratic Trump.

Venezuela tanken seized by the US - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 1.55pm post that the US has seized the Venezuela oil tanker, as it is under sanction by the US.

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Trump Oval has seized the President of Venezuela in a daring military operation at night and has stated that Trump knows run Venezuela.  The old regime has been left in place, Trump has learned the lessons of Iraq.   The Russians won't be happy, the tanker had changed its name and changed its flag to Russian.  There were reports that it was being escorted by a Russian Navy ship and sub! That did not work then for the ship.  Another success for Trump, it will go to his head.  The UK helped the US with this action, as stated by the UK MOD.

Update: The US has seized another tanker linked to Venezuela, the Sophia was taken in the Caribbean.




UK and French Forces to be sent to Ukraine if Peace Deal Agreed - Update

Sky News: Reports that UK and French forces will be sent to Ukraine if there is a peace deal.

Lets Get Real:

This agreement by the coalition of willing, is based on Russia agreeing to DEAL.  This blog is not holding its breath for that outcome, this agreement will annoy Putin, and give him the chance to go covert operation on OUR troops should they go to Ukraine.   If Putin agrees then expect trouble and casualties, Russia would like to hurt NATO, see how much casualties that France and the UK can take.  It could turn in to a disaster, thus we need the US as a backstop, the cost could be Greenland.
