The King's speech to the US Congress - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 6.54pm post the following, " Charles to call for US-UK 'reconciliation and renewal' in speech to Congress "

Let's Get Real:

Wisely chosen words from the King, the UK has been allied with US through two world wars and the Cold War.  The UK and the US has seen off fascism and Communism, there have been a few hiccups, Suez, Grenada, and now Iran.  Its healthy to have disagreements, but at its core, when the balloon goes up we are united. God Save the King.

Update: A Kingly speech, stating the alliance between the US and the UK.  Subtle dig at Trump over the Ukraine, the US Congress behaved, the Democrats were happy, the VP less so over the mention of the Ukraine. God Save the King.

Iran is state of Collapse - Trump

Guardian: Reports the following in its 4.40pm post, " The US president, Donald Trump, has claimed in a new Truth Social post that Iran has “just informed” Washington that they are in a “state of collapse”.  " 

Let's Get Real:

This could be a ploy by Tehran, feeding Trump what he wants to hear, fool him to make concessions and then welch on any future deal on Iran's nuclear stockpile.  There has to be some public announcements from Tehran that they give up, otherwise its all about trust, as Reagan said, Trust but Verify, Tehran cannot be trusted.

Trump not happy with new Iranian offer - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.00am post the following, " Trump 'doesn't love' latest Iranian peace proposal 

Let's Get Real:

This should be a non starter for Trump, the Tehran Regime wants the nuclear stockpile off the table for now, while opening the Strait of Hormuz, this would make the Oval look WEAK and gaining nothing from the WAR of choice from the perspective of Europe and the rest of the World.  Trump should stand tough, not give way to Iran.
