Dark Prince, Lord Peter Mandelson arrested - Update

BBC News: Reports " Peter Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office "

Let's Get Real:

This is a shock, this blog thought the Mandelson  case had gone quiet.  It was just a matter of time, it is reported that former PM, Gordon Brown is furious with Mandelson, he made the Dark Prince his Deputy after all, did the security services check him out at the time.  Have noticed Tony Blair has been very quiet about Mandelson, he was his friend, bought him back to government after he was forced to resign.  ONE does question the judgement of Blair, Brown and Starmer, the present PM.  The cases of Mounbatten- Windsor( Australia has agreed to drop Andrew from the line of succession to the Crown ) and Mandelson will take a long time, both arrested on the same charge.


US Targets in Iran

CNN: Reports  " Trump’s riskiest move: What led Iran to this moment — and what happens next  "

Let's Get Real:

There are talks on Thursday in Geneva as reported by Sky News, neither side want to compromise, Trump wants Iran's nuclear material, limits on its Ballistic Missiles, and freedom for those in Iran to protest.   The Tehran Regime only wants to talk about its nuclear material and keeping it in Iran, only short term limits for its nuclear programme and the end of sanctions.   The Oval needs more than that, it has moved two aircraft carriers in to the region, and other ships and subs, the greatest naval armada since the WAR in Iraq.  The Oval cannot WIMP out if it wants to keep Presidential credibility, look at what happened to LBJ over Vietnam and Obama with Syria, once lost credibility  is hard to get back.  Tehran is afraid to look weak to its oppressed people and to neighbours in the Area.  Thus clock is counting down to Trump's deadline.
