Russia Attacks Energy sites in the Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.50am post the following, " Russia launches 'massive strike' on Ukraine's energy infrastructure "

Let's Get Real:

This is typical the Russians and of Putin, Moscow wants to freeze the Ukraine in to submission, thus every year an attack on the Ukrainian energy facilities in the on coming Winter, Putin does not care about the people of the Ukraine or his own soldiers, never mind the troops from North Korea.  The coalition of the willing has to stand firm, the US under Trump cannot be trusted.   One hopes the Democratic control of the US Congress will shame Trump to do the right thing, support the Ukraine! .

Nuclear Alert in the Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.36am post the following, " Ukrainians received fake alert warning of nuclear and chemical threats after 'hack' "

Let's Get Real:

This is the Russians playing games, they want to make the people of Ukraine fearful that Russia had gone nuclear after not winning with Drones and Ballistic missile attacks and a ground invasion of East Ukraine.  Putin must have considered it, one likes to think common sense had taken over or threats from the Biden and Trump Administrations had paused the hand of the Kremlin.  It is reported that the Trump Administration has agreed to give 500 Patriot missiles to the Ukraine over the long term.  One hopes if the Democrats take the US Congress that they fund the Kyiv Government and get the Trump Oval to be more supportive.   It has been reported that Russia will move on a NATO Country  in the new year, time for the US and Western Europe to have their eyes and ears open and be on ALERT.

Deadliest month for Russia - Update

Sky  News: Reports in its 10.56am post the following,  " Russian forces suffered 54,400 casualties in October, the most in any single month since the 2022 invasion, Ukraine's military says. "

Let's Get Real:

The Russian soldiers are paying the price for the hubris of President Putin, the Russian Leader does not care about the lives lost in the Ukraine, his own soldiers or those serving in the Ukraine Army! The Russian Leader has warped view of history, in fact he would not get 3rd in any UK University, he is a neo Russian Imperialist, he sees the dissolution of the USSR as the greatest tragedy in history.  On the other hand he blames Lenin and the Soviet Regime for Russias defeat in WW1 and Revolution.  The Russian President sees Stalin as a great leader, not as he really was, a mass murder.   The WAR in the Ukraine will only end when Putin is overthrown by a Palace Coup, at some point the Russians must see Putin as he is really, a WAR CRIMINAL.  YOUNG Russians are paying for Putin's folly.

The City ceasefire and Russian Lies

Sky News: Reports in its 2.29pm post the following " A lot more soldiers': Attention turns to what's next after Russian lies prove to be theme of evacuation "

Let's Get Real:

The Russians lie as the breath, Putin is a wanted War Criminal, they want the impression that most people in the Ceasefire City want to go to Russia, the Kremlin wants the PR impression for its own people! If successful Trump will heap praise on the Russians and condem the Kyiv Government as neo Nazis, and that Russia wants peace but the Kyiv Government wants War!! Trump makes Neville Chamberlain look strong.  What ever hold Putin has on Trump is effective, Trump lives in his own WORLD, even the First Lady has stated that Trump won't listen to the truth. GOD HELP THE UKRAINE!!

The Tyrant Putin and freedom of the press - Update

BBC News:  Reports the following, " For the last three decades, Novaya Gazeta has been one of the most high-profile independent news outlets in Russia. " It is now being closed due to government pressure.

Let's Get Real.

The autocracy of Putin has already killed Russian democracy at birth, if you do not allow the people to breath, it leads to Revolution as Russia has seen in 1905 and 1917.  The Soul of Putin should remember what happened to the last autocratic leader, Tsar Nicholas II and his family were killed in a basement in Siberia.  One assumes he is following the Stalin playbook, loyalty through fear, no space to breath.  When revolution does come will Putin kill 30 or 60 thousand in Red Square, as the theocracy has done in Iran, repression only works so far, and Putin is old and wants live forever, the PATH to WW3 has already started when Putin invaded the Ukraine.

Ukraine Satellite links to be restored - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its 5.03pm post " Rubio told us Starlink will be fully restored in 48-72 hours, Zelenskyy says "

Let's Get Real:

One had assumed this troubling issue had been solved, 48 to 72 hours can be an age in military terms, and with a City ceasefire one can assume that the Russians will launch heavy attacks on the areas not covered by a ceasefire and if the Ukraine reacts the Russians will say it was the fault of Kyiv.  The Russian Bear can never be trusted, its paws want the whole of Ukraine.

First Lady, First Diplomat - Update

BBC News: Reports " US First Lady Melania Trump has "successfully secured" a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, the White House has said. "

Let's Get Real:

What is the point of the US State Department?  The First Lady can get a ceasefire but Trump and Rubio have failed, one doubts that Putin will play around when the US First Lady, she seems the only one to frighten Trump, it seems she not that impressed with Putin, and tells POTUS that when he comes home from Oval Office.  The details of this ceasefire is important, when it starts and also when does it finish.  If it can hold, on doubts that by the way, the First Lady should try her hand at the bigger picture, getting a ceasefire for the WHOLE of the Ukraine.

Zelensky critical of US Envoy Steve Witkoff- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.56am post the following, " Zelenskyy takes swipe at Witkoff's 'humanitarian' remark to Putin "

Let's Get Real:

This was after a night of heavy bombing of the Ukraine by Russia.  Steve Witkoff this week has called President Putin a humanitarian, so was Stalin if we used the Witkoff logic, the fact that Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL and murder seems to have been forgotten by the US Special Envoy.  The fact that the Russians are killing Ukrainians on a daily bases, almost as it does not matter to Trump and Witkoff, both are deluded!

Trump supports Witkoff calling Putin a humanitarian - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 8.20pm post the following, " Trump defends special envoy Witkoff calling Putin a 'humanitarian' "

Let's Get Real:

If one is throwing those terms around, Stalin was a humanitarian because after Nazi Germany invaded he becomes a ally for Roosevelt and Churchill.  Lets be clear Stalin was a mass murder, only became ally after Germany invaded Russia in 1941 after breaking the Nazi - Soviet Pact, thus Stalin had nowhere to go but became Ally of the US and the UK.  Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL, his invasion of the Ukraine and those who have been killed on the orders of the Kremlin! Why Witkoff used the term one can only guess, it seemed even Trump was surprised by the comments!!  Diplomacy should be done by diplomats not a friend of Trump, Trump is major appeaser in the same league as Neville Chamberlain, but the UK had Churchill, when can we a Churchill for today! 

Trump wants another negotiator from the Ukraine - Update

Guardian: Reports the following in its 8.37pm post, " Trump slams Zelenskyy amid Russia sanctions rift and says ‘somebody else’ should negotiate for Ukraine - "

Let's Get Real:

Trump has lost the plot, the First Lady said that POTUS no longer listens to the truth, his circle is YES MEN, who want to carry favour with Oval, and have no loyalty beyond Trump.  Any other President would have thrown Putin to the wolves by now, Trump treats him as if he Gorbachev of the 1980s.  What ever hold Putin has on him is very important, there no rational explanation for Trump's actions.  This is not 1945 and there can be no Yalta conference that gave Stalin what he wanted, Eastern Europe, Putin wants a return to Imperial Russia, that includes Poland, Baltic States and Finland.  Trump is erratic and has no understanding of the real WORLD, if Putin wins in the Ukraine then we are in WW3.

Ukrainian Satellite links restorted - Update

 

Guardian: Reports the following, " Zelenskyy thanks Trump for resumed intelligence sharing after US Starlink ‘message’ "

Let's Get Real:

At least Trump has restored the Satellite links that allow the Ukraine Army to battle the Russian threat, the blowback in the media was even to much for Trump, thus he has done a deal that allows the selling of Russian diesel to the US, the money will fund the Russisan war effort, while the Ukrainian Army is pushing the Russians back with Drones.  The Ukraine - Russian WAR is endless, it has lasted longer tha WW1.  Why can't we have Woodrow Wilson in the White House a racist yes, but at least on the Allied side, instead we have erratic Trump! 2028 can't come soon enough for this blogger.

Ukrainian strikes on Russian Refineries a Disgrace - Trump

BBC News: Reports the following, " US President Donald Trump has renewed his sharp criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky, saying the Ukrainian leader is "more difficult to deal with than [Russian President Vladimir] Putin". "

Let's Get Real:

All Presidents since 1945 will be turning in their graves, Trump has really lost the plot, one doubts Trump even knew the plot.  The American people have been conned, why did they re -elect Trump in 2024, the American people have lot answer for, they produces Presidents such as JFK and Reagan.  These leaders knew evil when they saw the actions of the EVIL Empire.  Trump likes tyrants as pointed out by Zelensky, thus his good relationship with North Korea.  Its the poor people of the Ukraine who pay the price of Trump's madness!

Putin threatens Ukraine after Refinery strike - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its 6.55pm post, " Putin threatens Russian response to Ukraine's refinery strikes "

Let's Get Real:

Putin will use this as a argument with Trump as a reason he cannot supply the diesel as he promised.  The real reason  for the shortage of diesel is the WAR with Iran, started by Trump, both Trump and Putin have started wars they cannot finish and both want to blame the Ukraine! Putin from his side blames Ukraine for existing and Trump should blame Iran and his own weakness for not finishing the war by winning it.  Trump talks big when it comes Iran but never follows through.  Ukraine must be on ALERT for a heavy Ballistic attack and expect no help from the Americans.

US still giving INTELLIGENCE to the Ukraine - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 5.31pm post the following, " Trump also discussed Ukraine, saying Washington hasn't stopped sharing intel with Kyiv, "

Let's Get Real:

The above has been a threat from Trump  to the Ukraine for ages, he does such threats to show who is boss in the relationship between the US and the Ukraine.  This time Trump is under political attack from the D.C political establishment over his deal with Russia to allow them to sell desiel to the US and the World market.  The Reagan Republicans and Democrats are united against the police and it might be Against US law.  The Mid Terms might shift the dynamic of power from Trump to the Democrats, and start the 2028 Presidential cycle.

Trump BACKS Putin over Zelensky - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.42am post the following, " Trump: Putin wants to make a deal more than Zelenskyy "

Let's Get Real:

Is there something WRONG with Trump, either Putin has something on him or Trump is divorced from reality.  When it comes to choosing between Zelensky or Putin, the Oval, always goes with Putin, the energy ceasefire came out of nowhere, Zelensky got it from the Media, it is time Western Europe broke from Trump, he is a dangerous element, his actions could lead to WW3.  That what happened with the Appeasement policy of Neville Chamberlain.  

Trump's move to increase support before the November Elections - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " US President Donald Trump says he has reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin allowing Moscow to "immediately release" diesel into the global market. "

Let's Get Real:

This is a naked political ploy to keep the House and Senate Republican, its to late, the Iran War started the rise in diesel, thus Trump wants to solve his political problem, by allowing Putin out of the sanction box, the Ukrainian Government is not happy, what will Putin demand in exchange, lesser sanctions, pressure on Ukraine to fold.  Thus to gain a narrow political advantage Trump has stabbed Ukraine in the back, Moscow will jump for joy, they have what they wanted, Ukraine freezing in the cold and Russia making dollars from the easier sanctions, a bad day for the Ukraine and the coalition of the willing.

New US plan to solve the Ukrainian War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.24am post the following, "  US to present 'new proposal' in talks with Ukraine today " 

Let's Get Real:

The new plan will benefit Russia, one can say that before the plan is released, the Trump Oval is the puppet of President Putin, the plan is always the same, Ukraine will have to give concessions to Russi!  Trump must have the state of mind that great powers deal, and small countries have to obey, this is not the Yalta conference of 1945, when the US and UK gave major concessions to the then USSR.   The Kyiv Government has a VETO, its cards are the coalition of the willing countries that support the Ukraine.  One awaits but without hope that Trump finally get the message, Modern Russia is not the USSR! Its 2026 not 1945.

Bulgarian PM warns of escalation - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.27am post the following, " Risk of global conflict,' Bulgaria's prime minister warns, after 'unacceptable' attack " on 2 ships in Bulgarian waters.

Let's Get Real:

The Russians are pushing their options before winter, they are trying to destroy the energy sector in the Ukraine, the want the poor people of the Ukraine to freeze to death, or starve to death!  The Coalition of the willing has to up its game, this blog has stated that the UK should place troops in Ukraine, draw a line in the sand, this far and no further, before Russia attacks Poland or the Baltic States, a bully has to be stopped before it leads to WW3.  This is the time for action not faint hearts.

2nd Plague Death in Russia - Update

 Daily Mail: Reports " Russian media claims a second victim has died from 'plague outbreak' at infection zone hospital as Kremlin scrambles to cover up details "

Let's Get Real:

The Russians are trying to cover up the story, this means anything they say on the subject must be suspect.  The World can not afford to wait to see what happens, do we want another lockdown in Western Europe, the US and the rest of the World must demand real answers.  It will be interesting to see how Putin reacts, does he demand that any one allowed his presence must be checked for the PLAGUE signs.   If treated early it can be stopped, but if not treated then the life expectancy is ZERO.   The fact that the Russians released the news should be a worry, if it had been checked with the one death and the lab cleared, then the Russians would have hidden story, nothing happens in Russian without the permission of Putin, its a one man state.  The West should be on alert, this could be serious and a event more serious than COVID.  It would be better if the US and its were allowed to help Russia, if they refused we know we are in trouble. 

The Russian Plague - Update

Sky News: Reports the following, " The US is "closely monitoring" the situation after the death of a laboratory worker in Russia who may have been exposed to pneumonic plague. "

Let's Get Real:

Is this another Covid moment, the Russians don't want to be blamed for another World lockdown! The fact that the Russians have been open about a death worries this blog, if it was under control, we would not have heard about the incident, Russia under Putin is a close state.  The UK and the USA should be on ALERT, if Putin goes to his bunker, then World knows that it is  not under control or demands the people are tested before being allowed in his presence as with Covid.  On the whole this could be one off death, Russia will say we have been warned!
