Ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia - Update

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has announced a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, "

Let's Get Real:

While the World's attention has been on the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East, the WAR that could lead WW3 has been on going, Russia hitting the Ukraine with Drones and missiles, with no concern towards innocent casualties, and the Ukraine pushing the Russians back in the Donbas.  The Russians only want a ceasefire as on May 9th they celebrate their win over Nazi Germany, the grander ceremonies of the past have been replaced with just soldiers due to the worry that the Ukraine would attack any tanks on the parade.  Also reported Putin is afraid of assassination or a coup from his own side.  That is the problem if your tyrant.

More US Strikes in Strait of Hormuz- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.34pm the following, " US jet fires on two oil tankers heading for Iran - as new clashes reported in Strait of Hormuz 

Let's Get Real:

Thus more strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, both sides will blame the other.  Two Iranian tankers trying to make Iranian ports and thwart the American blockade of Iran.  The US is still waiting for the Tehran response to their peace proposal.  Why the delay, very fishy or Tehran is playing games and are trying to place pressure on a very erratic US President.  That is not a good idea with Trump's fingers on the trigger.

Iran wont bow to pressure - Iranian Foreign Minister

Guardian: Reports in its 12.14pm post the following, " Iran's foreign minister: 'Iranians never bow to pressure' "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime is taking its time to reply to the US peace proposal, YES, NO or Yes But does not take days.  Trump has shown that he is a chicken who never follows through.  IS the Iranian Regime seeking more concessions when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz or their nuclear stockpile.  Trump needs a public win, anything else would be a humiliation before the Mid Terms and the start of 2028 Presidential cycle. The Tehran Regime should not over play their hand.
