The New SDI, the Golden Dome - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 9.11pm post that Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile Defence system will be funded from his big beautiful Bill that is going through Congress.

Lets Get Real:

This is an upgrade of Reagan's SDI shield for the Defence of the US homeland, it scared the Soviet Union, it was one of the reasons that Communists threw in the towel and thus ended the COLD WAR, they could no longer match US spending on Defence.   ONE hopes that Putin takes notice, with the Ukraine War going on, Russia cannot match the US, that might be the point of the Dome.  Time will tell.

UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron on Israeli reaction to Iran's missile Attack - Middle East - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Israel ‘making decision to act’ after Iran attack, says Cameron on Jerusalem visit...UK foreign secretary is probably first non-Israeli politician to admit military reprisal is inevitable but urges Israel not to escalate "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we wait for the Israeli Government to ACT, one can postulate that Israel will hit, if it is going to on the weekend, no sovereign state could tolerate the recent attacks by drones, cruise missiles and ballistic  missiles and not go on the offensive, deterrence only works if the other side is afraid of the reaction.   The Israeli Government has the Iron Dome, it can shoot down drones, cruise and ballistic missiles, it is very much like Reagan's SDI, a shield to protect Israel, and makes any reaction by Iran a near failure.   If Israel hits Iran's nuclear facilitates  it could set Iran months back from having the bomb, and allow Biden not be an appeaser is the Oval Office.   Time will tell.

Gorbachev is DEAD at 91 - End of an Era - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.45pm post the following, " ( Gorbachev ) ....won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 for negotiating a historic nuclear arms pact with the US president Ronald Reagan, and his decision to withhold the Soviet army when the Berlin Wall fell a year earlier was seen as key to preserving Cold War peace, AFP reports.  "

Lets Get Real:

Gorbachev was a great leader, who tried to reform and bring openness to the USSR, the USSR could not be saved, this is why the old Communists tried a Coup in 1991, Gorbachev was arrested, the Russian people rose up and defeated the Coup, Gorbachev on his return from arrest was to slow to see that the number was up for the USSR.  Thus the end of the USSR in 1991. In his short years in power he and President Reagan ended the Cold War and with their agreements on a INF Treaty, the first nuclear treaty to abolish nuclear weapons.   This Treaty Lasted in till the Putin Regime cheated on it.   Let's be honest, the old Russian Guard who appointed Gorbachev wanted to challenge Reagan on charisma, and Gorbachev had that in spades, the problem was that the USSR could never match the Reagan defence spending, thus threw in the towel, also they could not cope with the Reagan's ideas for taking the Cold War in to Space, with SDI or Star Wars as it was called by its critics.  Reagan, Gorbachev and Thatcher were the last great leaders of the 20th Century.  It has been reported that Gorbachev was horrified by the WAR in the Ukraine, Putin has thrown all the Gorbachev ideas for reform away, there is no democracy in Russia, also Putin controls the printed press and the airways.   One does hope that Gorbachev is given a State Funeral, he was a great leader, the World owes him and Reagan a great debt, ending the First Cold War with words and not a hot WAR.  Reagan trusted Gorbachev, Putin is not in his class at all. 

Russia OPENS front in SPACE - New Cold War 11 - Russian Bear/Security Threat

Guardian: Reports " Britain and US accuse Russia of launching 'weapon' in space...Injection of projectile from satellite into orbit ‘threatens the peaceful use of space’  "

Lets Get Real:

You can not trust the Russians, they broke the INF Treaty on numerous instances and tried under the Clinton Administration to get the Treaty mothballed.   Then when President Trump revoked the Treaty they were highly critical.   The Russian Bear is always two faced when it comes to the West.   One hand they do a deal with Adolf Hitler and then expect thanks for resisting him when he invaded in 1941.   In 1980s Reagan supported SDI, a space based defence for the US, it was never funded correctly after Reagan left office, the left did not want to upset the Russians, well Russians have gotten the same idea as the great Ronald Reagan, move the theatre of War in to space and hobble the West from Space.    The US Congress should fund a new SDI scheme, one that will place the US ahead of the Russians, of course with an election coming up the Democrats will not support the scheme, the Trump Oval if it had any credibility would suggest the policy, but Trump is seen as being in bed with Putin.  Let's hope the US does not regret this lack of action in Space. 

Biden the GAFFE MACHINE - Election 2020

CNN -  Politics: Reports on the latest major gaff by former VP, Joe Biden, " The Post reported that Biden got "the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony" in the story about the Afghan veteran.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US voter can forgive gaffes if they have a fondness for the candidate, the Great Gipper while in Office had a few gaffes, on a mico once, he was testing the mic, the President declared he had signed a bill to abolish the USSR and the US was about to start bombing.  Of course the LIBERAL press made sure it got in the headlines, in a way Reagan did get rid of the USSR, he spent them into oblivion through SDI and Afghanistan.  The question is can VP Biden make the US voter fond of him, as they were of Reagan, let's be clear Biden is NO REAGAN, but when it's a match up between Biden and Trump, you go with the lesser evil, that is  a Biden White House.  Of course Robert Gates, the former Defence Secretary has stated that Biden has been on the wrong side of national security issues for decades, that would be the cost of Biden.  It's funny old world.
