J D Vance and the 2028 cycle - Update

CNN: Reports the following, " Vance’s new book puts his Catholic faith at the center of his story — and his political future "

Let's Get Real:

Thus 2028 Presidential cycle starts, Vance wants to be Trump's successor in the Oval Office, as the article notes being Catholic faith has grown in the US; still an requirement to be religious in the Republican race;  but still on long term down in American culture.  Both Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have impressed Trump.  After the Mid Terms should flush out Republicans and Democrats who want to run.  Please no more billionaires or self centered individuals, Trump is enough.

Significant Progress in talks with Iran - Rubio - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 8.30am post the following, " Significant progress made, but not final - Rubio says, hinting more updates coming today "

Let's Get Real:

The proposed deal includes an extension of the 60 day ceasefire, free access to the Strait of Hormuz, end of US blockade of Iran, further talks on Iran's nuclear stockpile.  The Memorandum, deal will take months, Iran will not give up its nuclear stockpile, so what was the point of the WAR, Tactical a success, strategic open to question, Iran now knows it can upturn the Western economy by just closing the Strait, a knife to the throat of the West.  Presidential Credibility has been shattered, POTUS is a lame duck President, he just does not know that fact.

Trump Advices Congress on Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports " Marco Rubio delivers rare briefing to top US lawmakers on Iran amid tensions..Secretary of state’s address came as US deploys largest force of aircraft and warships to Middle East since 2003  "

Let's Get Real:

One does wonder  why Trump has done this, is it theatre for the State of the Union, why bother if he is going to WIMP out and take a 2nd hand deal from Iran.   Is the Oval really going to do something this time, over Greenland he has wimped OUT and had to retract his comments on UK troops in Afghanistan during the WAR, he changed his policy over ICE,  when he is faced by stiff opposition he backtracks, he is frustrated that Iran has not caved, he wants something from the Geneva talks on Thursday, Tehran will play him, they are good at that, so what will POTUS do about Iran's nuclear stockpile and chemical weapons?  Time will tell.

New Geopolitics - Secretary Rubio

BBC News: Reports that Europe must face new geopolitics as the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio arrives for the Munich security conference.

Let's Get Real:

This is down President Trump and his America First policy, thus his demands that Europe spend at least 5% of its GDP on Defence and that Denmark give Greenland to the US.  The Oval has backdown on that demand for a while.   The US expects Europe to fund Ukraine in its war with Russia.  It can be stated that the Trump Oval is more supportive of Russia than of the Ukraine and NATO.   The UK needs to back the Ukraine through Europe, otherwise we could have WW3 in Europe should Ukraine lose to Russia, but the NATO Allies need the US for security guarantees for the Ukraine if they must give up the Donbas, in East Ukraine.

Witkoff Adviced Moscow how to deal with Trump over Ukraine - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its post of last night at 10.22pm that US Envoy Steve Witkoff adviced the Russians how to deal with POTUS when it came to Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

This shows that Witkoff is biased in favour of Russia, another Russian pawn in the Trump Court, they do not need Witkoff as Trump is the lap dog to Putin.  Witkoff has never been to Ukraine, but has been to Moscow numerous times.   Question, where is the US Secretary of State, with the exception of Geneva is has not been seen, is thinking about 2028 and does not want the contamination of being seen as an appeaser.  Politics change and America First might be out of favour with the good people of Iowa and New Hampshire in 2028.

Zelensky Asked to be heard in any deal between Russia and US - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 7.49pm post that President Zelensky of the Ukraine asked to be heard in any deal between Russia and the US over Ukraine WAR.

Lets Get Real:

The suppose big event of the day was Trump call with Putin to end the War, the result, Putin agreed to talks about a ceasfire, in other words Putin is stalling, and POTUS goes along with it, like a lap dog.  The War will carry on and more Ukrainian men, women and children will die! Trump is the chief appesar of Putin, the coalition of the willing must act on sanctions, even tougher on Russia, AMERICA has abdicated its leadership of the West.

India Confirms Ceasfire with Pakistan - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 1.31pm post that India has confirmed a ceasefire with Pakistan after both sides escalated the War.

Lets Get Real:

As CNN reports the US Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubion was instrumental in bringing this ceasefire to the Indian subcontinent.  This shows the power of Nukes, the US suddenly found that a World policeman was needed.  One hopes Trump and Trump Administration has learned an important lesson.

US calls for India and Pakistan to work together over tensions- Trump47

Guardian:  Reports in its 3.40pm post that Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State has called on Pakistan and India to work together to decrease the tensions between the two.

Lets Get Real:

RUBIO is Secretary of State and interim National Security Advisor, and other job titles.  It seems for now that Trump trusts him to deal with the issue of Pakistan and India.  Rubio should fly to India and Pakistan and tell both sides to decrease the military tensions, its getting to risky, there is always the threat of nuclear war, both sides have Nukes.  EVEN a cricket ground has been hit by a drone, and both sides love  Cricket, enough is enough.

US WW2 Veterans in Moscow for end of war anniversary- Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 2.09pm post that US veterans of WW2 will be in Moscow for the anniversary of the end of WW2.

Lets Get Real:

The Kremlin is daring the Ukraine to use Drones against them in Moscow.  Who are these veterans, did the US State Department know they were going, at last Trump didn't go, has he gotten the memo that he was played by Putin, as other US Presidents have been, the Ukraine on this should not take any action in Moscow itself, bad PR.   President Zelensky should keep his forces on ALERT, the Russian Bear is wily and has no morals, never trust Putin.

US SNUBS London talks on Ukraine -Trump47

BBC News: Reports that VP Vance has stated that the US could walk way from talks if the Ukraine and Russia do not agree a ceasfire deal.  Thus US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Special Envoy Steven Witkoff have not come to London Talks, an unexpected move.

Lets Get Real:

Trump uses Vance as an attack dog, recall his attack on President Zelensky in the Oval Office, POTUS wants a quick success in the Ukraine, he is a pawn of Russia, the US framework for a Ceasefire gives Russia what it wants, officially recognised Crimea as part of Russia, and for Russia to keep the land it has taken in East Ukraine, no wonder the US did not come to London, Ukraine would say no way, its Appeasement on a major scale, and Trump is the successor to Neville Chamberlain, this is another Munich 1938.

US could walk away from Ukraine - Russian Peace Talks - Trump47

Sky News Reports in its 8.12am post that the US Secretary of State Rubio has stated the US could walk from ceasefire talks between Russia and the Ukraine if no progress.

Lets Get Real:

Thus French talks of yesterday were not excellent, either Russia is playing games, no great shock, as they want the blame to go the Ukraine for stalled talks.  Trump47 could not organise a tea party in a brewery.  Trump stated that he would solve the Ukraine War in a day, that has not happened, Trump47 makes Reagan look great, as if there was any doubt.  

Excellent Talks with the US in France - France - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 6.48pm post that France has called today's talks with US Secretary of State Rubio and Special Envoy Witkoff, EXCELLENT.

Lets Get Real:

One does hope that that this is a honest review of today and not just diplomatic niceties by the French, the Allies, if you can call them that, have to be united against Russia.  POTUS has  been critical of President Zelensky today, nothing new.  The Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire, Russia is dragging its feet and placed conditions.  PUTIN has a hold on Trump, that is beyond reason.

US and Ukraine Agree to ceasefire in Ukraine - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 6.11pm post that the US and the Ukraine have agreed to a 30 day ceasefire in the war between the Ukraine and Russia.

Lets Get Real:

This blog was wrong, the US has agreed to unfreeze Intelligence and military aid to the Ukraine.  The US Secretary of State has stated that the ball is in the Russian court.  It will be an interesting few days, does the Kremlin agree and on what terms. It depends what President Putin says!  The Kremlin will want more, in concessions from the Ukraine, will Trump47 back them or the Ukraine.  Time will tell.

Trump selling out the Ukraine - Trump47

 Guardian: Reports that Trump's nominee for  Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio has stated the the Ukraine and Russians have to make concessions to end the War.

Lets Get Real:

Thus we come to the sell out of the Ukraine by the US, will the UK and the EU also sell out Kyiv, can they carry the cost of the War without the US support and weapons.  The Kremlin will be happy, they have seen their ally Assad fall in Syria, they need some good news, is this Czech Republic in 1938/39, are we on the road to WW3, many have seen the similarities between that period and NOW.  The drums have started, can the World escape the logical conclusion.

Selling OUT the Ukraine - Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 6.43am post that Trump47's choice for Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio opposed further funding for the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The omens do not look for the Ukraine, the EU might be left holding the baby, yesterday Sir Keir Starmer met President Macron and stated they were united on the Ukrainian defence, we shall see how long that lasts, does Europe have the money to replace the $, Trump is determined to appease Putin whatever the cost to the people of the Ukraine.  Thus the result of the 2024, Munich 1938 has a successor!  Easter Europe will be very afraid.

Jeb Bush on Trump - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has said he will not vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump in November's presidential election. "

Lets Get Real:

This after the Primary fight it is a surprise, one would have thought that Jeb Bush would have been on the Trump short list for VP.   One can see why Jeb Bush has done this, Trump was less than flattering of Jeb Bush and has been critical of Bush 43 when it comes to Iraq.   The Republican Establishment, the elite leaders can see themselves doing deals with Hillary Clinton, while Trump is a unknown, has has never been elected Office and his game book would be different from theirs.   One does wonder will Senator Rubio now be considered for the VP spot on a Trump ticket. 

Republican Delegate Count - Election 2016

Guardian - US Politics Live:  Reports on the following Republican delegate count, " Trump 744, Cruz 559, Kasich 144  ".

Lets Get Real:

The Cruz Campaign is getting the delegates while the Trump Campaign is a big white shark out of its depth.  The only way the Republicans can win in November is for there to be a contested convention, with neither Trump or Cruz getting the right number of 1237 and the delegates finally going for a vote winner in the shape of Kasich, he would bring in Ohio, while he could pick Rubio has his VP.    Thus you have the road through the electoral maths to the Oval Office.   This long contest is starting to get slightly tedious. 

Super Tuesday Result - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Trump advances despite Ohio loss, Clinton extends lead "

Lets Get Real:

The fights for the Republican and Democratic nomination is OVER, on the Republican side it will be Donald Trump, on the Democratic side it will be Hillary Clinton.   Although the Donald might not get the actually number delegates needed any idea of a backroom deal that would try to replace him would destroy the Republican Party and hand the Oval Office to HRC.  Both candidates have moved to the general, as the Hill reports the Trump has aired an attack advert on Hillary Clinton, the advert shows how Putin's Russia would be happy with HRC in the Oval as Putin is a stronger leader.  Thus a new phase of the election starts today. 

Is Ted Cruz the new Richard Nixon? - Election 2016

The New York Times: Reports " Senator Ted Cruz is under fire from Senator Marco Rubio’s campaign, which accuses him and his campaign of employing more “dirty tricks” ahead of the Republican caucuses in Hawaii on Tuesday and spreading false rumors that Mr. Rubio is dropping out of the race. "

Lets Get Real:

This is the SECOND time that the Cruz Campaign has played dirty pool, the first time was in Iowa, one can say that Trump is bad, while Cruz recalls Richard Nixon and not in a good way, that how scandals start, lets recall Nixon played dirty pool to get elected in 1968, it ended up in Watergate, what happens if Cruz wins the nomination and wins the Presidnecy, how far would a Cruz Administration go to get its policy ends.   As posted by this blog one really has to see Governor Kasich as the adult in the room, he would make a fine President, the only problem is that Kasich needs to win his home State of Ohio and then have a contested convention.   They are long odds even for this blog. 

Romney On Trump - Aftermath - Election 2016

Guardian - US Politic News:  Reports in its 4.38pm post the following, " Mitt Romney’s speech deriding Republican frontrunner Donald Trump as “a phony” and “a fraud” did his cause more harm than good, according to a poll released this morning...According to Morning Consult, 31% of Republican voters say that they are more likely to vote for the New York billionaire after Romney’s speech, with only one in five Republicans saying that the former Massachusetts governor’s remarks made them less likely to vote for Trump. Forty-three percent told Morning Consult that Romney’s remarks had no bearing at all on their decision. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus those opposed to Trump, and this blog could be counted in that group will have to look at other ways of stopping the Trump Master, as noted in the UK Sunday Times the issue of Trump University seems like a good place to start, in essence peoples invested thousands in the hope of learning from the Donald how to be a good businessman, all they got for the thousands was a picture with a cardboard cut out of the Donald.   The Republican Establishment has to  go after the business dealings of the Donald.   The US voter must be forced to see that the Donald is a con man, that his many business ventures have failed and he does not suffer.    This could be the last chance to STOP the Donald.
