US Delegation to Pakistan - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.28pm post the following, " US president Donald Trump is sending special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan for talks with the Iran’s foreign minister,  " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS is desperate to get a deal before the Mid Terms, he knows that Democtrats will use the issue of affordability against him, gas has gone up, the cost of goods in stores.  The War was a choice one, he did not build support for a WAR, there are no Allies with the exception of Israel.  It's Trump's war, one for him to solve.

New US - Iran talks in Pakistan - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.38pm post the following, " Pakistani government expects US-Iran peace talks to resume, source tells Sky News "

Let's Get Real:

Thus the Mexican stand off is OFF for the moment.  ONE assumes the US will send a delegation.  The 2 sticking points are Iran's nuclear stockpile or dust as POTUS calls it, and the Strait of Hormuz.  The first could be sticky, neither side want to compromise, Iran wants enriche its nuclear stockpile to NUKE capacity, while the US wants ZERO enrichment in Iran.  As for the Strait, the Trump Oval cannot compromise, it would be against international law to allow Iran to take it over.  Thus expect tense talks.

US could change its position on the Falklands Islands - Trump Update

BBC News: Reports " Downing Street has said the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands "rests with the UK", following a report the US could review its position on the British claim to the territory. "

Let's Get Real:

This Trump getting back at the UK because it refused to join in its War with Iran.  The Spanish are looking at been thrown out of NATO, we in the UK have to recall we still need the US in NATO, whatever the temper tantrums of the Trump Oval.  There is the War in the Ukraine, we have to keep the US involved, that could be WW3 around the corner.
