Zelensky needs more supports - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Ukraine's president plans to use the Nato meeting in Turkey to urge Kyiv's allies to deliver the air defence systems it urgently needs to protect it from escalating Russian attacks."

Let's Get Real:

The NATO allies do not want a war with Russia's Putin, if they don't support Kyiv then they could find themselves in a WAR with Russia in 2030.  The Germans and Poland have increased defence spending, the UK has hardly started, its 1914 all over again.  What if the UK has to bring back enforced conscription, the young would have no idea what has hit them.  The UK has to wake up, before it's to late.

Starmer and Allies seeking decent PEACE in Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports that Sir Keir Starmer and his coalition of the willing a seeking a decent peace in the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

A decent peace in the Ukraine is not going to happen, the US under Trump is in Appeasement mode under Trump and his America First philosophy, his base hates the idea of the US as the world's Policeman after Iraq and Afghanistan failures, the Kremlin in Moscow agrees with them on this issue.  Thus the real question is how much land the Ukraine is going to lose to Russia.   The real question is will the coalition of the willing give solid security guarantees to the Ukraine when Russia comes back for more, thus start WW3.  Interesting days ahead.

Germany to bring in Voluntary Military Service - Update

BBC News:  Reports that Germany is to bring in Voluntary Military Service for those 18 and over.

Lets Get Real:

This is a needed development, France is doing the same thing.  The threat of the Russian Bear is growing, if they take the Ukraine, Baltic States are next, also Poland, Eastern Europe has to wake up to the fact we have a 2nd Cold War with Evil Putin of Russia.   The Trump Oval cannot be trusted, would you take Trump's word to the bank, NO if you have a brain cell.  The UK should follow the TREND of Europe, this blog can think of a few that could do with it, they might even learn to write and do maths.  

NATO German Jets fly to counter Russian Jets over the Baltic Sea - Ukraine - Russian War

Guardian  Reports that NATO German fighters were launched to counter a Russian plane over the Baltic Sea.

Lets Get Real:

One of these days something will go wrong, either a Russian plane will be shot down or a NATO plane will be a victim.  Trump47 has to do something, he is leading the World in to WW3 by mistake, it does not matter how many WARS he has solved, his Appeasement of Putin could end bally, he is no Kennedy or Reagan, great Presidents who knew how to be tough and how and when to talk to the Kremlin.

Zelensky says NO to swapping Ukraine Land - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 7.55am post that President Zelensky has made it clear he will not reward Russia.

Lets Get Real:

Trump is betraying the Ukraine if he's trying a modern Munich 1938, Russia started the WAR in 2022, and must not gain Eastern Ukraine, Europe, in this case the UK, France and even Germany must say a collective NO, they have to supply military kit to the Ukraine.  IT seems that Trump does not understand what happened in 1938 or just not care, its all about Trump to Trump, FDR, Kennedy and Reagan will be turning in their graves at the Appeasement of Trump, we could be on the road to WW3, what next Poland or the Baltic States.

Fibre Optic Drones - Ukraine-'Russian War - Trump47

BBC News: Reports on a upgrade to Russian Drones, that make them harder to destroy.

Lets Get Real:

One thing about the Russians, they change the rules, when they are losing, the Kyiv Government need the tech of the West to out pace the Russians, Trump should place more sanctions on the Russian shadow fleet that sells Russian oil and helps Putin carry on the War in the Ukraine.   The Germans have agreed to fund Ukrainian long range missiles, the Kremlin is not happy, the US and Europe have to wear down Putin and Russia.

German Chancellor talks President Putin - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that the German Chancellor has warned Russian President about its escalation of the war in the Ukraine by using North Korean troops.

Lets Get Real:

IS this modern Germany doing another Munich 1938, Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL and so is his army for its actions in the Ukraine from 2022.   Putin has been isolated since the invasion, is the election of Trump 47, the signal for Europe to remove its sanctions against Russia, is Germany first, Putin should only be dealt with by the Leader of the free World, the American President, its Trump 47 from January 20th 2025, are the Germand trying to get in first.  IF the US cuts its financial support for the Ukraine, will the UK and Europe take over, not for long term, the UK is broke, thus recent tax hikes! The Germans have a minority Government and face a general election, the situation looks dire for the Ukraine.

Finland CLOSES it BORDERS to RUSSIA - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.57pm the following " Helsinki claims Moscow funnelling people to border...We brought you news earlier that Finland will close its entire border with Russia to travellers....The decision to shut all eight border crossings means only cargo trains can pass between the two countries, Finland's Border Guard said.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Helsinki is paying the price of the Ukraine - Russia War and its entry in to NATO, the troops of Finland will have to check the cargo to make sure that the Russians do not place migrants in the cargo, also Putin might think that he US and Europe is tired of the War, Germany might want that Kyiv starts to have talks with Russia, the price will be steep, the Russians would hold the land they have taken over, while KYIV will want to join NATO and the EU as the price of giving up land.   This kind of loss could make POTUS weak 2024, that is what the Russians and its axis of EVIL want, are we seeing the 1930s again, Europe weak when faced by EVIL, and the US voters getting tired of supporting Europe.  If this leads to WW3 do not be shocked, the Gods do not give 2nd warnings.

Latest Ukraine Assessment by the US - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era/Putin Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 11.57am post, " US politician reports 'sobering' briefing on Ukrainian counteroffensive...Senior US and western officials describe increasingly “sobering” assessments about Ukrainian forces’ ability to retake significant territory in their counteroffensive, according to CNN. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians had weeks to build up  their defences in land they hold in the Ukraine, they have placed thousands of mines in the way of Ukraine Forces and the US and the West has been slow to supply air cover for the advancing Ukraine Forces.  In 1918 the Germans were only forced to appeal for an Armistice when the US came in, the Kremlin is waiting in till 2024 and the Republican victory over President Biden, either by Trump or a follower of Trump to have a outright win over the Ukraine the US.   That is why President Biden either had to win the WAR this year or before 2024 election.  The Kyiv Government needs those fighter jets and fast, the Kremlin cannot be allowed to win, a recent poll by CNN has a majority of Americans not in favour of more military support for the Ukraine.  Putin must be STOPPED. 

Arrest Warrant for President Putin on the charge of kidnapping Children - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Vladimir Putin wanted by International Criminal Court - Moscow says decision 'has no meaning'.....The Russian President is wanted for "credible allegations" about his alleged role in war crimes in occupied regions. Putin is accused of being responsible for the deportation of children from Ukraine into Russia. Moscow has always denied carrying out atrocities since the invasion.  "

Lets Get Real:

This will make it difficult for any DEAL on the Ukraine War, what leader or leaders want to shake hands with Putin who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, it makes it hard for him to travel and makes HARD for any Democratic Elected Leader to do a DEAL.   The issuing of the warrant could cause some difficulties for the Republican candidates for the Republican Nomination in 2024, the two leading candidates have stated that the US should not no arm the Ukraine, are they going to shake the hands of a WAR CRIMINAL.  Thus those that argue that the way to end this WAR is through a DEAL, are missing a point, its not that kind of WAR, NATO cannot afford to lose this WAR, its WORD would be smashed to pieces, and if NATO did not react to Putin trying something with Poland or the Baltic States then NATO would be finished.   President Putin knows that the Russian people do not tolerate leaders who lose WARS.  Thus in less  Putin gets the whole of the Ukraine, he faces a coup or his mercenaries could turn on him, he would be finished as President of Russia.   It could be argued that Putin saw the Ukraine like Hitler saw Austria in 1938, that his troops would be welcomed and the Ukraine as Austria would be happy to be part of Germany/Russia.   The reality of course is the Ukraine fought back, ands is being supported by the US and the West, Putin must hope that Biden is defeated for re-election in 2024 and either Trump or a light Trump candidate is elected and changes US Foreign Policy.  This is going to be a VERY LONG WAR. 

US MIGHT send its TANKS to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.01pm post the following, " US leaning towards sending Abrams tanks to Ukraine, reports say....The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Biden administration is leaning toward sending Abrams tanks to Ukraine, and an announcement could come this week.  "

Lets Get Real:

If the above happens, then the Western Powers will be on the same page, the Germans will feel happy that they are joined by the US, even if the US tanks do not really match the needs of the Kyiv Government.   It will give Berlin cover at home, and make NATO more united.   WHY does the UK always have to be first with these things, it would be nice for a change if the US had lead with the Germans, the UK was the first to state it would send 14 Challenger 2 tanks to the Ukraine.  The above will not make the Kremlin happy, one hopes these tanks can push the Russians out of the Eastern Ukraine and push the Russians out of the Crimea.  Putin will have worked out that he could be on the last of his 9 cat lives, if NATO is successful then one hopes that Putin will be overthrown.   The battle for the Ukraine is about DEMOCRACY vs.  AUTOCRACY, the West has to win, otherwise Putin will be knocking on the door of the Baltic States and Poland, and that could lead to WW3. 

UK to SEND TANKS to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.17pm post the following, " British government planning to provide tanks to Ukraine....But the reality is that the UK, with a total fleet of 227, has a small supply compared with Germany and the US.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US and Germany should follow through with more tanks, the Russians must not be allowed to have a day of victory in the Ukraine, even more so if those victories are done by mercenary soldiers.  As stated by the former PM, Boris Johnson the Russians must not be seen to win or to win on the ground.  The Ukraine Government and people are fighting THIS WAR for the West, if Putin wins then we have a threat to the Baltic States and Poland, ALL members of NATO, then we will have World War 3 if that happens.  This is the 1930s ALL over again, the West failed to stop Hitler in the 1930s, and thus WW2, the West must be CLEAR, it must support the Ukraine with tanks and other military kit.  Otherwise we will enter another dark age of the making of the West. 

You CANNOT TRUST the FRENCH - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.15am post the following, " 

Macron criticised for suggesting West consider 'security guarantees' for Russia....

French President Emmanuel Macron has been criticised for suggesting that the West should consider Russia's need for security guarantees if Moscow agrees to talks to end the war.  "

Lets Get Real:

The FRENCH are up to their old tricks, stabbing the WEST in the back, the French President thinks himself a great political leader, he has been on the phone to Putin more than any other LEADER is Europe, he wants to bring the War in the Ukraine to an end, thus he and France gets the glory.  The West has to be UNITED, neither the French or Germans should allowed to do their cowboy diplomacy, they are not very good at it, if the past is anything to go by.  The French it seems have a problem with holding the line, if WW1 and WW2 are anything to by, also the French for years were not in the NATO Command structure.  The Biden Oval needs to get on the phone to Macron and tell him to back off, the US and the UK are the lead powers when it comes to the Ukraine, we do not need the French pushing the noses in to the business of the Ukraine, however much the French President thinks he knows the solution.

What Europe thought about the early stages of the Russian Invasion of the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.54am post the following,  " Boris Johnson suggests Germany wanted war to be over quickly even if Ukraine had to 'fold' - and that France was 'in denial "

Lets Get Real:

Why is it always the Germans and the French you cannot trust to preserve the security of Western Europe.  If the Europe has listened to Berlin and Paris then the Russian Forces would have been in KYIV in days, it was the British who lead Europe on this, as we have dealt with tyrants before ( this is not a dig at the Germans and French ) and we have won.  If Putin had gotten way with the invasion of the Ukraine, then the Baltic States would have been next or Poland.  Let's recall that the Putin demands were for the roll back of NATO, and a weakened Europe.  Thus back to the present, the US and the West has to defend the Ukraine, it will be a testing time this winter for the people of the Ukraine, the Russian Bear has gone a destruction spree, the people will need support with energy so has to have heat and food.  Western Europe could also face problems with power, due to the sanctions on Russia.  Winter will show the true character of Europe, has it learned past lessons, does it have the character to deal with the NEW EVIL EMPIRE.

Germany worried about escalation in the Ukraine War - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.50pm post the following, " Germany ‘must be ready for an escalation in Ukraine’, warns Scholz.....The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has warned his country must be prepared for the situation in Ukraine to escalate.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Germans are closer to the action, if they are worried about escalation then should ALL of Europe should also be, the Russians step by step are destroying the infrastructure of the power grid of the Ukraine, they want the people of the Ukraine to go through a HARD WINTER, make them turn on their leadership, the Russian level of EVIL has no bounds, they have as stated started an illegal war, committed and allowed their Soldiers to committee WAR CRIMES against the people of the Ukraine and are trying to destroy the structures of the STATE of the UKRAINE.   The West has a moral obligation to save the people of the Ukraine, if need be we have to consider sending in troops to protect the nuclear power stations of the Ukraine, it could lead to WW3, also it might force the Russians to STOP.  The West has allowed the Russians to set the agenda, it's about time we showed the BEAR a RED CARD. 

Nord Stream 1 & 2 pipelines Sabotaged - EU

BBC News: Reports " The EU has said leaks in two major gas pipelines from Russia to Europe were caused by sabotage - but stopped short of directly accusing Russia.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the West has Russia in the FRAME for the leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines 1 &  2, the operation is complex at that depth, either the Russians sent expert crew down to place the explosions or they sent a bomb through the pipelines, either way it benefits Russia, the Kremlin will want to divert attention from the 4 referendums in the Ukraine that will allow Russia to annex 15% of the Ukraine.  The question why would the Russian sabotage their own pipelines, that is easy, there is no gas going through them at the minute, the Russians want the West to have extreme economic pain when it comes along, they can say, if the West had not placed on sanctions on Russia, then the Russians would have made sure that no accidents happened to the lines, thus making the point, if you want gas for the winter, for individuals and business you have to play ball with the Kremlin.  One can expect the French, Germany, Italy to buckle, there people from individuals and business need Russian Gas while they look for gas in other areas.  Thus the Kyiv Government will come under pressure to do a DEAL with Putin, the question is will the US and the UK back Ukraine, it could be a very cold winter. 

Analyses of the Russian - Ukraine War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.26pm post the following, " ...as the war has drawn on and Russian forces have resorted to exploiting their greater stockpiles of long-range artillery to smash Ukrainian positions, the West's appetite has grown to gift Ukraine more powerful weapons – such as long-range multiple-launch rocket systems, tanks and aircraft - regardless of the escalatory potential.  "

Lets Get Real:

The West has woken up to the FACT that Putin is another HITLER, even by this morning news on the partial mobilisation of Russian Forces, Putin has followed Hitler's move to Total War after the failure in Russia with Stalingrad, also Putin has learned the lessons of Vietnam, he has not gone for a general mobilisation because he would have students on the streets against the WAR and they would be joined by their parents.   The younger Russians can see and connect the dots thus many taking one way tickets out of Russia on the latest commercial planes , otherwise they will be next to be cannon fodder for Putin's War in the Ukraine, thus best to get out NOW, and not wait to be called up.  As to Putin statement that he is not bluffing, Putin knows he either wins the WAR in the Ukraine, or he is toast, and failed Russian leaders do not have a good end, Tsar Nicholas II is a classic example and Hitler at the end of World War 2.  The question that has to be asked, how far will the West escalate this WAR in the Ukraine, what if Putin does use a low level nuclear device in the Ukraine, as to frighten off Ukrainian Forces and the West, what will the West do.  At this moment the West does not have a FDR or Winston Churchill in place, one does hope that Western leaders find their inner Churchill or else the West and Russia could do down a very dark road.  

No Gas from Russia to Europe - Reaction to Western Sanctions - Ukraine - Russian War

Guardian: Reports " Russia will not resume gas supplies to Europe until sanctions lifted, says Moscow...Kremlin blames western sanctions for failure to deliver gas through Nord Stream 1 pipeline  "

Lets Get Real:

This shows that the Western sanctions are working, the Russians are using the only economic tool they can against Europe.  The Germans are going to spend 65 billion to help the German people, this is down the gas hikes on the market due to the fact that Russia has invade the Ukraine and the West is supporting the KYIV Government through the use of sanctions, it is expected that PM Liz Truss will spend one hundred billion on keeping the gas prices at a lower level for customers due to the price hikes on the market.  One can only hope that it will be a mild winter, otherwise the West will be tested, one only hopes that the British people show the spirit our great grandfathers and grandfathers showed during WW2.  A testing time for the West. 

West MUST SUPPORT UKRAINE - UK PM - Ukraine - Russia War - New Cold War 2

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson has said leaders must be honest about rising costs due to the Ukraine war, but said the price of Russia succeeding was "far higher".  "

Lets Get Real:

The US and the West faces a cost of living crisis, coming out of COVID - 19, then there is inflation, in part inflation is being driven by the Ukraine - Russia War, the fact that oil prices have gone up, due to the WAR.  Also the Russians are keeping grain of Ukraine has hostage, thus a part of the cost of living crisis. The Russian President has no shame, he has shown that he is a WAR CRIMINAL, he has allowed his troops to do WAR CRIMES with no action.  The destruction of the East of Ukraine, is a WAR CRIME.  The Western Leaders have to explain to voters, that the West cannot afford to allow Russia to WIN, any success by Russia is a threat to Europe, also it might to LEAD to World War 3. 

Russia THREATS to Germany and France - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.pm post the following, " Putin warns France and Germany over arming Ukraine....Putin told the two leaders that supplying arms to Ukraine was "dangerous", warning "of the risks of further destabilisation of the situation and aggravation of the humanitarian crisis", the Kremlin said.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are winning ground in the East of Ukraine, and are now pushing to see who is WEAK on the Western front, thus the demand that the West lifts sanctions on Russia if it wants grain from the Ukraine.  The West has to increase the sanctions on Russia, also US has to send heavy weapons to the Kyiv Government, otherwise POTUS could lose Ukraine after Afghanistan, the Biden Administration has spent billion on defending Ukraine, it cannot afford to lose, and it can't allow itself to be frightened of what Putin might do if the US sends more heavy weapons to Ukraine.  As the UK PM said, Putin must lose and be seen to lose.  Anything else is a win for Putin and a threat to the West.  The West has to STAND FIRM.
