Trump invites Putin to G20 in Florida - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.08pm post the following, "  US side has confirmed that they have invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the upcoming G20 Summit in Miami in December. "

Let's Get Real:

What is it with Trump, is he afraid of Putin, has the Kremlin some compromising pics of Trump, no other politician would bend over backwards to please Putin.  The First Lady has stated Trump cannot handle the truth, someone has to tell him his polls are down the toilet in the sewers, his policy's are not popular, having a go at the Russians is always popular, and what does Trump do but invite Putin to Florida, a WAR CRIMINAL meeting a Felon.  If a writer wrote this for the TV series West Wing he would be laughed out of the Writer's room.  The Democrats will investigate Trump all day and night after they take the House in November, will that wake up Trump.

The Problem of IRAN and the West - Biden Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " President Joe Biden and three of his European allies face a complicated conundrum over how they will move forward on their approach with Iran on Saturday, having to decide whether to apply new sanctions as Tehran continues enriching uranium... "

Lets Get Real:

The US and the rest of the powers have only two choices, one is the hope that Iran sees the light and changes its ways from its nuclear ambitions and terror acts or that when Israel hits IRAN if they sniff that Tehran is close to getting the bomb that a regional war does not break out.  It can be postulated that Israel will not wait for the US to get the fact that the Tehran Regime wants to go nuclear, they have just elected a hardliner, and have stated that they will return to talks in November, it can be argued that Tehran wants to play the talks out while they get the bomb, and if there are agreements the Tehran Regime will not keep them, they know once they get the bomb they become like North Korea, they will never be attacked, the cost of a nuclear war in the Middle East is beyond the nightmares of most.   The US and the West has to get REAL, or Israel will do it for them. 

US and Allies on Syria - G20 - Syria Crisis

The White House: Statement on Syria: " The Leaders and Representatives of Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States of America made the following statement on the margins of the Group of 20 Nations Leader’s Meeting in Saint Petersburg, Russia:

The international norm against the use of chemical weapons is longstanding and universal.  The use of chemical weapons anywhere diminishes the security of people everywhere.  Left unchallenged, it increases the risk of further use and proliferation of these weapons.

We condemn in the strongest terms the horrific chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of Damascus on August 21st that claimed the lives of so many men, women, and children.  The evidence clearly points to the Syrian government being responsible for the attack, which is part of a pattern of chemical weapons use by the regime. 

We call for a strong international response to this grave violation of the world’s rules and conscience that will send a clear message that this kind of atrocity can never be repeated. Those who perpetrated these crimes must be held accountable.

Signatories have consistently supported a strong UN Security Council Resolution, given the Security Council's responsibilities to lead the international response, but recognize that the Council remains paralyzed as it has been for two and a half years.  The world cannot wait for endless failed processes that can only lead to increased suffering in Syria and regional instability.  We support efforts undertaken by the United States and other countries to reinforce the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons. 

We commit to supporting longer term international efforts, including through the United Nations, to address the enduring security challenge posed by Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles.  Signatories have also called for the UN fact finding mission to present its results as soon as possible, and for the Security Council to act accordingly.

We condemn in the strongest terms all human rights violations in Syria on all sides.  More than 100,000 people have been killed in the conflict, more than 2 million people have become refugees, and approximately 5 million are internally displaced.  Recognizing that Syria’s conflict has no military solution, we reaffirm our commitment to seek a peaceful political settlement through full implementation of the 2012 Geneva Communique.  We are committed to a political solution which will result in a united, inclusive and democratic Syria. 

We have contributed generously to the latest United Nations (UN) and ICRC appeals for humanitarian assistance and will continue to provide support to address the growing humanitarian needs in Syria and their impact on regional countries. We welcome the contributions announced at the meeting of donor countries on the margins of the G20.  We call upon all parties to allow humanitarian actors safe and unhindered access to those in need.  

European signatories will continue to engage in promoting a common European position. "

Lets Get Real:

The Oval could be looking for this in the statement as a way to get out of striking Syria, " We commit to supporting longer term international efforts, including through the United Nations, to address the enduring security challenge posed by Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles.  Signatories have also called for the UN fact finding mission to present its results as soon as possible, and for the Security Council to act accordingly. ".  It seems that the Oval does not have the votes at present in the US House, the Oval could be looking for delay to build up support, or that Assad launches another chemical attack, the Presidential press conference did give the impression that the Oval was passing the buck to Congress. 

The Oval and Russia - 2nd Term Blues

The White House: Has the following statement from the White House Press Secretary on President Obama's visit to Russia for the G-20, " Following a careful review begun in July, we have reached the conclusion that there is not enough recent progress in our bilateral agenda with Russia to hold a U.S.-Russia Summit in early September.  We value the achievements made with Russia in the President’s first term, including the New START Treaty, and cooperation on Afghanistan, Iran, and North Korea.  However, given our lack of progress on issues such as missile defense and arms control, trade and commercial relations, global security issues, and human rights and civil society in the last twelve months, we have informed the Russian Government that we believe it would be more constructive to postpone the summit until we have more results from our shared agenda.  Russia’s disappointing decision to grant Edward Snowden temporary asylum was also a factor that we considered in assessing the current state of our bilateral relationship. Our cooperation on these issues remains a priority for the United States, so on Friday, August 9, Secretaries Hagel and Kerry will meet with their Russian counterparts in a 2+2 format in Washington to discuss how we can best make progress moving forward on the full range of issues in our bilateral relationship.

The President still looks forward to traveling to St. Petersburg on September 5-6 to attend the G-20 Summit. ".

Lets Get Real:

What is the point of going folks, this blog will bet that Putin will try to pull something that makes Obama regret going, he might get Edward Snowden to demonstrate outside the meeting, something that even the loyal Obama press will have to cover, or he will get Snowden to leak even more secrets, yes folks you get the idea, never play on someone's pitch if they can cause you political problems, this is the Obama ego getting in the way of reality, the White House should have called off the trip,. really show how the Oval is NOT HAPPY, also place sanctions on Russia, yes folks, the Russians will make Obama look petty and not a gracious guest, snubbing the Russian President will add popular support for Putin, yes folks its that bad a mistake.  Typical Obama, such a clever fool. 

Obama the HAWK and Russia - 2nd Term Blues

Fox News: Reports that President Obama has cancelled a meeting with President Putin of Russia at the G20 because Russia has granted political asylum to the US traitor Edward Snowden. 

Lets Get Real:

The Oval should not even go to Russia, think about this folks, Russia has granted asylum to one of the worse traitors in US history, lets get very real here, the secrets that Snowden took out of the US has been looked at by the Russians and China, it has been a field day for Russian and Chinese Intelligence, lets recall Putin is KGB, once KGB, always KGB, he enjoys poking his finger in to eye of the Oval, he knows Obama is weak, he knows he can be rolled, when you get in to the trenches Obama does not have that morale backbone, do you see JFK or Reagan going to Russia for such a meeting IF Snowden had happened under their watch, like hell, thus the Oval can not bear the thought that there could be  a G20 meeting without him in the picture, yes folks, ego, always ego with the Oval.   That is why Obama is so easy to read folks.
