BBC News: Reports in its 1.02pm post the following, " Iran shared 'views and considerations' with Pakistan on ending war - foreign minister "
Let's Get Real:
Thus no meeting between the US and Iran in Pakisran. The Pakistan Government will give Iran's agenda to the US Delegation when it arrives, what was the point of the US Delegation going to Pakistan, at least the US VP did not go, it would be seen as a snub by Iran if they did not meet the VP.
Guardian: Reports in its 5.28pm post the following, " US president Donald Trump is sending special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan for talks with the Iran’s foreign minister, "
Let's Get Real:
POTUS is desperate to get a deal before the Mid Terms, he knows that Democtrats will use the issue of affordability against him, gas has gone up, the cost of goods in stores. The War was a choice one, he did not build support for a WAR, there are no Allies with the exception of Israel. It's Trump's war, one for him to solve.
BBC News: Reports of significant progress in the talks between Iran - US in the opinion of the Omani Mediator.
Let's Get Real:
As this blog has suggested POTUS will take a 2nd hand deal from Iran, he is a chicken, why bothering to send two aircraft carriers to the Region, if he is not going to use them, they might as well return to their homes bases, he won't have any Presidential Credibility after this, the protesters died for nothing, no one will be afraid of Trump NOW, Tehran will secretly develop the bomb, another North Korea.
CNN: Reports that the US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the President Trump's son in law Jared Kushner will represent the US in talks with Iran.
Let's Get Real:
When has this worked, has not worked with the Ukraine War, these two gentlemen are not DIPLOMATS, we are talking about nuclear weapons here, they have no experience of NUKES, Iran it seems from the article is talking about allowing the US oil concessions, it has worked for the Regime in Venezuela, one can see endless talks going nowhere, while protesters rot in prison, Heaven Help Us.
Sky News: Reports in its 1.25 post, that President Trump has stated he had a good meeting with President Zelensky of Ukraine. The meeting lasted an hour.
Lets Get Real:
Thus no announcement of an economic package that was expected to be signed today, before Greenland got the attention of the press. Thus we will have to wait for the meeting tomorrow between US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin of Russia. Back to important issues of peace and war.
BBC News: Reports in 10.29am post that President Trump has said that the War he thought would be the most easy to end, Ukraine- Russia war, is the hardest, but peace could come soon.
Lets Get Real:
Today was about Trump' Board of Peace, Europe has stayed away, the UK and France said NO, they don't want to join with Putin on Board, as to the Ukraine, US Envoy Steve Witkoff has stated there was only one issue to discuss, he is on his way to Moscow. President Zelensky will meet President Trump today.
Update: The US and Ukraine agree security guarantees, but documents need to be signed.
BBC News: Reports that the US Envoy Steve Witkoff is to meet President Zelensky in Germany.
Lets Get Real:
Thus more meetings, Trump might have a point about that, the US wants the Donbas in East Ukraine to become a Free Economic Zone, the Ukrainian troops would leave, would you trust the Russian word not take advantage of this new situation. The Ukraine would require IRON CLAD Security Guarantees, from Europe and the US, legally binding, not just Trump's word, not worth the paper it would be written on. Europe has decided to freeze Russian assets, they should given to the Ukraine, that would hurt Putin and help the Ukraine.
Sky News: Reports that US Envoy Steve Witkoff will be in Russia on Tuesday for discussions on the peace plans for the Ukraine - Russia War.
Lets Get Real:
One has to ask if this is a good idea, it was Witkoff who produced the first peace plan that was very favourable to Russia, it was a Russian wish lit for Christmas. It has been reported that the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio is more of a hawk on the Ukraine - Russia War and that different branches of Trump's foreign policy term as doing their own thing, and it will come down to whom Trump favours and what Russia will give concessions on, if any. The Kyiv Government under President Zelensky will not give up land, it would fall if he was pushed in to any agreement. Steve Witkoff has never visited the Ukraine, and seems to view the War through the eyes of Trump, the President is very pro Russia, thus Europe has to be firm with the White House, they have to support Kyiv, and be ready to send troops from the coalition of willing in to East Ukraine, as a buffer zone between the Ukraine and Russia.
BBC News: Reports President Trump defends US Envoy Steve Witkoff on board AF1.
Lets Get Real:
The President was not his usual combative self, more down, Health rumours could be true, the OVAL is more suited to a younger man, Trump is no Reagan! NONE of the modern Presidents are close to the Gipper. Trump should have distanced himself fro his Envoy! One that has just landed him in a mess. At least the Thursday deadline for the Ukraine is off the table at this moment, you can never tell with Trump.
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.
BBC News: Reports that President Trump is to meet both Putin of Russia and Zelensky of the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
One presumes that the Russians want to meet Trump only, while Trump will want a joint meeting with the other two. The Russians could be playing Trump again, does the Trump Oval get that, will Putin agree to a ceasfire, on what conditions, will any conditions be a negative consequences for the Ukraine on the ground. TIME will TELL.
Sky News: Reports in its 9.59am post that US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has meet with President Putin before the deadline set by President Trump.
Lets Get Real:
The deadline for a Ceasefire in the Ukraine is this Friday, the question is will Putin play Trump again, agree to a deal then break it and will Trump be tough with Putin, POTUS really wants that nuclear peace prize, the Nobel Committee gave it to Obama for doing NOTHING, just getting elected President. Interesting hours and days ahead.
BBC News: Reports that Russia is backtracking on comments by a former Russian President that lead President Trump to move nuclear subs.
Lets Get Real:
The Russians are backtracking, they are making it clear that Putin runs Russian Foreign policy, not the former President, they must afraid of Trump for some reason, also Trump's Special Envoy for crisis's Steve Witkoff is visiting Russia this week, before the sanctions deadline on the Ukraine, let's see what happens.
BBC News: Reports of a constructive meeting between US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Putin.
Lets Get Real:
Constructive when you appease President Putin, let's call a spade a spade, the US is encouraging a WAR CRIMINAL and undermining Europen Security that has been set since the end WW2. Russia gets the Crimea and areas in Eastern Ukraine, STOLEN by Russia. The Kyiv Government should reject the US PEACE DEAL, they should be supported by Europe. Shame on any political leader who supports this appeasing deal.
