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.

UK Diplomats taken out of the Sudan - Another Afghanistan ?

BBC News: Reports "  Sudan violence: UK diplomats evacuated from Khartoum  "

Lets Get Real: 

This is Afghanistan all over again, the diplomats are taken out, good work by the Armed Forces as usual,  but the people are left to get shot, it seems that there are sixteen thousand Americans in Country, and there are many UK citizens also, the FCO as usual does nothing, its typical of the FCO viewpoint, do not get involved in the affairs of other Countries, and slow walk the process in till the press lose interest.  If you had left the Falklands to the FCO they would have handed the Islands over to the invading force.  The UK and the US should send in a peace keeping force, with a simple order, if you are fired upon taken them out, does no one recall Gordon of Khartoum ( see the film), a US and UK passport should mean something in these kind of incidents.  One suspects that POTUS and PM Sunak do not have the guts to bring peace to the Sudan, POTUS is expected to announce  on Tuesday that he is running in 2024.

UK will support Finland and Sweden if in WAR WITH RUSSIA - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2


Lets Get Real:

One can see why there is TALK of the Defence Secretary being a future leadership candidate when PM Johnson is forced out because of Partygate, as Pre Wars go the Defence Secretary has said the right thing and he never attended  Party in the LAST TWO YEARS.  The reason that the Conservative backbenchers have not moved to remove the PM is that there is no natural successor, the Chancellor got caught up in the party gates mess and was fined, and the tax status of his wife did not help.  Thus it look like it is down to the Defence Secretary or Foreign Secretary, if you have others running it will make the process last longer, this is a time of Crisis, and there is no Churchills or Thatcher's on the backbenches, it is not the time for on the job training.
