Are US Bases safe in the UK - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " No 10 insists RAF Fairford is safe after US withdraws its bombers from base "

Let's Get Real:

UK is not seen as secure by the US, as the article notes the US is afraid of an Iranian plot to hit the base after its use to bomb Iran in its war with the US.  This blog is fast coming to the conclusion that the UK should become part of the EU under old terms.  The threat from Russia is pushing this leave supporter to voting yes to return to the EU, because POTUS is flaky we cannot trust the US to be with the UK and Europe should there be a WW3.

Piers Morgan to SUE the Earl Spencer- Update

Say News: Reports in its 5.53pm post the following, " Piers Morgan: 'The longer this book is on sale... the higher the damages will be' "

Let's Get Real:

This intervention by Piers Morgan will go down well with Buckingham Palace, if the Earl Spencer can get it wrong as to when Morgan was Editor, what else has he gone wrong, it was a long time, events and distance by time and the highly emotional events might raise different recollections of the event, two people might take away different views about a conversation or feelings that the person should be more upset, the Earl was Diana's brother, thus expects everyone else to be upset,  a reporter deals with tragedy all the time, so the external expressions might come across as less than the Earl expected.  Piers Morgan might not be the as he stated on Question Time the 2nd most loathed man in the realm after this intervention.

Putin wins in Russian Parliamentary Elections - Update

BBC News: Reports " The Kremlin is likely to use the result to claim that most Russians have rallied behind the president, and to justify future policies and subsequent decisions on the course of the war. "

Let's Get Real:

As stated in previous post, the Parliamentary Elections were fixed, thus allow any action by Putin who can say that the people voted for him and the War.  Thus what can we expect, increase cyber Warfare on the computer systems of the West, an increase of drone action across NATO borders.  The final option is the most dangerous, a Russian grap of NATO territory by Russian forces, to see how NATO responds.  Thus in the next few months could be cold and not just the weather, it has been reported that Russia is building large hospitals near the Baltic States, is this an indication or a diversion! As the great man once said, " A East Wind is coming ".

Has Germany learned nothing from the NAZI period - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 5.02pm post the following, " AfD is projected to win 44.5% of the vote in the Saxony-Anhalt state election as polls close. "

Let's Get Real:

Have the Germans learned nothing from the Nazi party, they should never allow racist parties come close to forming a government even at State level.  The Party should have been banned or curtailed in some way, the moderate parties on the left and right should work together to form am alternative government for the State.  The voters might think they have been robbed, that is a risk you take when you support democracy.  A sad day for Germany.

Attack on the Ukraine by Russia - Update

This is never ending, the Russians have been pushed back at the front, Ukrainian drones have hit Russia hard, warehouses that supply Russian Drones with parts have been hit, oil Depos have also been hit, as stated Crimea is in a State of Emergency have Ukrainian drones strikes.  President Zelensky has asked Trump for more Patriot missiles to defend the Ukraine, Western leaders should remember its the Ukraine now, it could be Western Europe next if the Ukraine falls to Putin.

Threat to Poland - Update

 BBC News: Reports the following, " Polish PM warns critical months ahead in face of Russian threat "

Lets Get Real:

The Poles and the Baltic States are worried, they fear that Russia could do a false flag operation, or have a plane or helicopter go down in NATO country, and then the Russians send it troops, what would President Trump do, what would the new UK PM Andy Burnham do, very new to OFFICE, would he press the red button to save Poland, we have let Poland down in 1939 and 1945 when it was taken over by the Soviets, even after the Free Polish Forces had fought for the Allies in World War 2.   Trump is erratic, would he take action, he has shown that he is a puppet of Putin, will defend Poland even after they have increased their defence spending.   It is worry for Poland and the Baltic States, one gets the impression that the UK voter does not get how close to war we are, most of them were not about for the 1930s, and thus do not understand the threat.  Let's hope the intelligence networks are wrong about the Kremlin Plans, if not we are in the Summer of 1914, and have no idea what is coming.

Wes Streeting to support Andy Burnham for PM if he wins by -election

The Times: ( Hard Copy ) Reports that the Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting will fold his unofficial leadership campaign if Andy Burnham wins the by -election in Manchester.

Let's Get Real:

This comes from some close to the Wes Streeting campaign, others disagree, it really depends on the Manchester by - election.  Burnham has to win in a REFORM Seat after the recent Council elections, Polls show Burnham beating Streeting in any leadership election.  If Burnham loses, it would be Starmer vs. Streeting, Polls show Starmer beating Streeting, the by - election is in June 18th.

The War Powers Act ( 1973 ) - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 4.27pm post the following, " The clock is ticking before lawmakers demand a say on Iran war "

Let's Get Real:

As the article notes the War Powers Act ( 1973 ) comes in effect on May 1st.  After that the US Administration needs Congressional approval for the War in Iran.  It should be noted that past Administrations while following the law have always said its against the US Constitution, what will the Congress do, on the whole the Republicans are supportive, while the Democrats not so.  The American people are against the War from polls taken in the US.

POTUS was target of gunmam at Washington Correspondence Dinner - US Attorney General


Let's Get Real:

The Hilton Hotel was the location that Ronald Reagan was shot and injured in 1981, before he had the chance to change the World.  Trump was cool in a crisis, if he had his way, the Dinner would have gone on, but the US Secret Service said no.  The President stated that the White House needs its own Ballroom, it would be secure and prevent last night's incident.  The security has to be upgraded for the King's visit next week.

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.

UK Rejects role in Trump's blockade of Strait of Hormuz - Update

Guardian: Reports " UK will not join any Trump blockade of strait of Hormuz  "

Let's Get Real:

Typocal of Sir Keir Starmer, all talk no trousers, the left hate Trump so much, that their conscience comes first at the expense of other.  If your not in the room who cares what you think.  The Tehran Regime is EVIL, you destroy evil and make dam sure they do not get a nuclear bomb.  The UK under Sir Keir has failed, Appeasement never goes down well with historians or future writers.


US to blockade Strait of Hormuz- Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 1.56pm post the following, " US Navy will blockade Strait of Hormuz, Trump says  "

Let's Get Real:

It worked in the Cuban Missile Crisis, why not Iran in 2026.  The idea cut the money off from Iran and make Western Europe help.  This will annoy Russia and China as they are the greatest customers for Iranian oil. The question who will blink this time, in 1962 it was USSR and a secret deal, how will Iran react to the Blockade.

Update: BBC News reports that the US will impead Ships going to Iranian ports or departing from then at 3pm ( UK Time) tomorrow.  This will hurt Iran, prevent Iranian Government from funding itself

Trump has a final vote on the Iranian succession as Supreme Leader- Trump

Sky News: Reports in its 4.25pm post the following, " Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader  " 

Let's Get Real:

The powers of the Presidency has gone to Trump's head, he thinks he can follow the example of Venezuela, someone needs to talk to him and fast, this will not go down well in Iran, the students have been taught about the 1953 CIA/MI6 inspired Coup that replaced left winger PM with the Monarchy, the Iranian people are a proud people, the theocracy will use these  remarks against Trump.

Trump might have forced Israel's hand - Update

Guardian: Reports in a 5.02pm post the following " Trump insists Israel did not force US hand on Iran attack "

Let's Get Real:

The President stated that he might have pushed Israel in to attack, not the other way around, the talks in Geneva were going nowhere, the theocracy was playing the US.  The War is JUST, the Democrats and CNN are wrong in their anti Trump view and the War.

Let's Get Real:

President Trump has been honest about this, there will be casualties, a lot more.  WAR is hell, there have been friendly fire incidents, 6 piolts had to bail out, they are secure the US Defence Department has stared.  Israel has attacked Hezbollah in Lebanon after they fired at Israel, US and Israel have to win this WAR, for the safety of the World.

Iran's Supreme Leader is DEAD - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 9.40pm post the following, " Khamenei is dead, Trump says .." Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead," US President Donald Trump writes on Truth Social.  "

Let's Get Real:

The fates decided, after 47 years after the revolution, the 47th POTUS, takes out Islamic Republic of Iran, God or fate does not have talks, it ACTS, its judgement is final.  One hopes Iranian people find freedom at last.  This is the time of freedom for the Iranian people, they have waited since 1979, if the Supreme Leader is still alive as theocracy states, he must be hiding under his desk, in less the Regime can prove he is alive, its over for the Islamic Republic, and no AI rubbish!

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime knows this could be it, Trump has called on soldiers of the Regime to surrender, they will be given immunity, these attacks on US bases could be the last gasp of this EVIL Regime.  Let's hope its gets thrown in the bin with the USSR!

Trump warns Iran on its nuclear ambitions - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 3.48am post that President Trump warned Iran about its nuclear ambitions in his State of the Union address to Congress.

Let's Get Real:

POTUS stated what the World knows that US has an armada in the Middle East, the largest since the Iraq War, he stated he wants Diplomacy but will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, he did not sell that a war might be needed in the end, is he about to WIMP out, or is about to chicken out.  The lack of selling a needed WAR confirms that Trump will take a 2nd hand deal, worse than Obama's deal with Iran.  The people of Iran will suffer for more years under a theocracy, Appeasement never works.

Russia has not achieved its goals in the Ukraine - Updare

It's four years since Russia invaded the Ukraine.

BBC News; Reports in its 10.55am post that Russia has stated it has not achieved its goals in the Ukraine.

Let's Get Real:

The WAR was expected to be short, destroyed Russian tanks had dress uniforms for the the tank soldiers who expected to get to Kyiv within a week! The Ukraine fought back, thus fours years of Trench Warfare, Europe has not seen it since WW1.  The Biden Administration and Europe supported the Ukraine, of 2025 Trump Administration has been a hindrance, demanding that NATO countries pay for the military kit and not signing security guarantees, thus the frozen front line in the front line.  The War goes on.
