Ukraine Front - Update

 Sky News: Reports " Russian missile strikes have killed seven people in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city. "

Let's Get Real:

Back to the Ukraine Front, while the News networks cover the War Iran, Putin's Russia still attacks the Democratic Ukraine, one should not forget this Long War, its like WW1 with its Trench Warfare.  This War could lead to WW3, whatever Trump thinks of the War. Putin will try to increase pressure on Ukraine, as he knows the WORLD is looking at this new War in the Middle East and fearing about the World economy as oil prices go up.

Sad day for NATO and the Ukraine.

BBC News: Reports that Iran's Supreme Leader has admitted thousands were killed during the protests and blamed President Trump.

Lets Get Real:

The Oval WIMPED OUT, Trump called on protesters to take over Institutions and help was on the way!  The Cavalry did not come and thousands faced death by machine gun, and thousands more are in JAIL being tortured as you read this blog.   When US President does not follow through on a red line then he loses credibility with the World.  TRUMP never had much credibility to start with, in his 2nd Term.

BBC News: Reports that the US is to move military personnel from Qatar due to the tensions with Iran.

Lets Get Real:

This should show Iran that President Trump is serious about taking military action due to the killing of the protesters and arrest of thousands.  Iran is a rogue nation, an EVIL Regime that no longer has legitimate right to Govern.   The economy is in a mess, the local currency is down the toilet, the people can't feed themselves and the Regime is an unelected theocracy.   Time for more protest in Iran.

Lets Get Real:

This might be the only chance for generation of youngsters to be free, it will cost, the theocracy will not go down quietly, they know that if they give up they could be lynched, and the money from the oil will be gone.  The Supreme Leader has stated that the protestets are protesting to please Trump and Israel, the Regime will useless hell to stay in power, one can ONLY hope that Trump supports the protesters, you never know with this erratic President.

Mass Protests in Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports on a bloody Saturdy in Iran, protests by the people against the implosion of the economy of Iran and violent actions by Tehran Regime in response.

Lets Get Real:

The reason the Iranian economy is down the toilet is  due the Tehran Regime, it is under heavy sanctions by the US and the actions of Regime, supporting terrorism around the Middle East, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria.   The people of Iran have the chance for freedom from the theocracy, they should not expect support from President Trump, he just wants the oil from Venezuela, the Trump Oval, will only take action if Iran attempts to go nuclear or increase its Ballistic Missiles ability.  There will be casualties, but freedom is the price.

Tehran threatening US Bases in Middle East - Update

Sky News: Reports that in response to the threat from US President Donald Trump, the Tehran Regime has threatened US interest in the Region.

Lets Get Real:

This is an empty threat from Iran, if Tehran does something really stupid, Trump will remove the Regime by its roots.   Tehran as startled to believe its own PR.  NO one would mourn the Tehtan Regime, it has been a threat since 1979, it has terrorised the Region and the World.   It is the supplyer of money and arms to terrorists, a constant threat to Israel and the US.  ABOUT time the young people and shop owners took to the Streets, Persia deserves better, so does the World.

The Presidential Address - Review

Sky News: Reviews of the Presidential Address by President Trump.

Lets Get Real:

It's best to review a speech after a good night's sleep.  The speech was angry, POTUS defended is domestic agenda, he seemed to get more angry as he went on, his poll numbers have gone down, every 2nd term President has this problem, it should be noted Reagan's polls went down after Iran - Contra, his polls only went up after he admitted the policy mistake from the Oval Office.  Let's note Reagan left OFFICE with a 63% approval rating and his VP becoming President.  One wonders if Trump can do the same.

Trump stated Europe decaying and the US might withdraw support for the Ukraine - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that President Trump has stated that Europe is decaying due to Immigration and being lead by Weak leaders, and Russia is bigger than Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

Trump is very frustrated, he wants that Nobel Peace Prize.  The Oval thinks if he had get Kyiv to cave to Russia, then he could get the Price, he is that delusional, the Committee in Norway will never give him yet, they hate him.  As for his European comments, he could be right, uncontrolled migration is a problem, it did in the Roman Empire, also bad economics developments, devalue of the currency.   The UK and Europe are aware of the problem and are not tough enough to deal with issue.  All civilisation end sooner or later, Egypt, Rome, UK and now its American turn to their power decline.

Ukraine hits Russian Oil Depo - Trump47

BBC News Reports that the Ukraine has hit a big Russian Oil Depo on the Russian Black Sea.

Lets Get Real:

The US has to pull its finger out and end this WAR, this Trump's Woodrow Wilson moment, Wilson who had kept the US our of WW1 in till 1917, had enough by 1917, also the German threat from Mexico pushed Wilson to act.  Thus Trump must use secondary taxes on Countries buying Russian oil, he must close down the Russian economy, he has to be brave and take the fight to Moscow.  END this endless WAR.

104% Tariffs on Chinese imports to the US - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 6.31pm post that the White House has conformed Tariffs of 104% on Chinese goods.

Lets Get Real:

Trump has pulled the trigger, what will China do, have the same Tariffs on US goods, a tariff War looks likely, are we heading for recession or depression, these kind of economic wars help no one, will China keep its powder dry and hope common sense comes to the White House.  One has to ask has Trump47 gone bonkers, who can stop him, the Congress is in Republican hands, the Courts take time, the clock ticks to 12am.

Trump THREAT to China over its Tariffs Reaction - Trump47

 BBC News: Reports in its 4.33pm post the following, " Trump threatens China with further tariffs....The additional tariffs on Beijing would be of 50%, Trump says."

Lets Get Real:

This could be the tariff that breaks Trump, China can wait out Trump, and they are communist, so no democracy to threaten them.   The threat by POTUS to add a further 50% is a mistake, China is a proud nation and face is important to them, also they have eyes on the Democratic Taiwan, they will not want the World to see that China can be bullied and humiliated over Tariffs.  POTUS should recall that COVID came form China, after either a leak from a lab or an intentional leak by China, the debate on that still goes on.  China can hit back if it wants, human life is not held high by the Communist Government of China.

UK to give more support to the Ukraine - UK PM

BBC News:  Reports in its 4.35pm post that UK PM has stated more support for the Ukraine this year.

Lets Get Real: 

The policy on the Ukraine will test the unity of the EU and the UK, if Trump 47 pulled the plug on funding, then Europe will have to decide, welfare or military support for the Ukraine.  As with the Tariffs battle, Trump is not afraid to hit allies badly in the pocket.   The Kremlin will look on and bounce on weakness.  Interesting time ahead for NATO.

Biden's Job Approval at 36% - Trump47

CNN: Reports on a new CNN poll that finds President Biden"s job approval at 36%.

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Approval numbers are in the toilet, not as bad as Jimmy Carter in 1981 and Bush 43 in 2009.  The American people view the Biden Presidency as a failure, the economy in the view of people is bad, groceries cost to much, and the buck does not cover every day costs.  The Ukraine - Russian War is stalled.  Today we have news of a ceasefire between Hamas and Gaza, months to late. The Biden view of his Presidency is to rosy.
