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.

35 killed in Kramatorsk, Ukraine - Update

Sky News: Reports in its  7.13pm post the following, " Number killed in Kramatorsk today rises to 35 after evening strike hits car "

Let's Get Real:

The War in the Ukraine is at a deadlock phase, very much like in 1918 and the First World War, it took the arrival of the Americans under General Pershing to smash the Germans, at least Woodrow Wilson acted, Trump does nothing, he is never critical of Putin and the Russians, Wilson had run for a 2nd term on the US keeping out of WW1, when he acted it was decisive, Trump does nothing.  The American people support a leader, JFK and Reagan are great examples of this, Trump is so afraid of Putin that he is seen as a puppet of the Russian Leader.  If the Oval acted it would frighten Putin.

Russia is stonewalling the US about the Siberian Plague - Update

CNN: Reports the following, " Facing stonewalling from Russia, Trump admin struggles to plan for potential plague fallout "

Let's Get Real:

The US and Europe should demand answers, if they have a clear picture then they can help, Russia cannot be another China, guarding the truth with lies that confused people and health institutions that can help! Trump has to get real with Putin and demand answers, no more being his puppet.  If its a bad leak then allow the US to help, they have the resources to curb any threat.  The Western economy can not cope with extended lockdown.  

US concerned by Plague in Russia - Update

BBC News: Reports " US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged Russia to release more information about the death of a lab worker at a plague research centre in Siberia.  "

Let's Get Real:

How Trump45 dealt with Covid was one of the reasons he lost in 2020 to Joe Biden, Trump has still not accepted that he lost and thus treats the event the election as a stolen election.  Trump 47 one hopes has his eyes and ears open to the possible threat from Siberia, the Oval should be at lest one step of this Russian plague, if people have to wear masks again or there needs to be another lockdown, one hopes that Trump will listen to real science not the advice of his Health Secretstry, who seems stuck in fringe science, and that is being polite! The World has to be on ALERT, let's Get ahead of the plague! 

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. 

Are US Bases safe in the UK - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " No 10 insists RAF Fairford is safe after US withdraws its bombers from base "

Let's Get Real:

UK is not seen as secure by the US, as the article notes the US is afraid of an Iranian plot to hit the base after its use to bomb Iran in its war with the US.  This blog is fast coming to the conclusion that the UK should become part of the EU under old terms.  The threat from Russia is pushing this leave supporter to voting yes to return to the EU, because POTUS is flaky we cannot trust the US to be with the UK and Europe should there be a WW3.

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! 

The Destruction of Kyiv - Mayor - Update

BBC News: Reports " Intensified Russian drone and missile strikes are "tearing Kyiv apart", the mayor of Ukraine's capital has warned "

Let's Get Real:

The Russians are trying to destroy the heart of Kyiv, as much as the US tried to destroy the Capital of North Vietnam, it did not work as Vietnam was fighting for unification, Kyiv is fighting for the survival as a democracy, it cannot be allowed to surrender, as the whole of Easter Europe would come under threat.  Western Europe has to defend the Ukraine or we all under threat.  The US is a shaky ally under Trump, Europe should be united in its defence of Kyiv and the Ukraine.

Putin threat ovet Kalingrad Fears - Update

BBC News: Reports "  Vladimir Putin has said Russia will use all weapons at his disposal if it considers its Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad to have come under direct attack. "

Let's Get Real: 

This is Putin placing logs on the fire just in case he wants to invade Poland or the Baltic States over the next year.  Putin could use made up incident in Kaligrad. This is the phony war period of WW2, it is building now for Putin to take action in 2026 or 2027, he needs Trump in the Oval to appease him and for NATO to surrender.  The crisis is coming and it will be very cold.

UK and US leave Iraq Again - Update

BBC News: Reports " The last British and American troops have left Iraq after a military presence of more than az decade in the country. "

Let's Get Real:

Is this the final time or will old ethnic violence return, will Daesh return and force the return of the US and UK troops in the future! Time will tell, Iran might invade as to cause problems for the US and UK due to the Iran War, nothing is ever OVER in the Middle East, it always causes problems for the man in the Oval.

Estonian Incident - Update

BBC News:  Reports " Russia was behind an arson attack on an Estonian defence company in the capital Tallinn last month, authorities say. "

Let's Get Real:

The Russian FSB has been busy in Germany, and Eastern Europe, various sabotage events from a attempted drone strike at a German Airport and the above.  The Russians are pushing the envelope to see how NATO acts and what they do to counter Russian actions.  The CIA Director visited Moscow to warn them off attacking Poland or the Baltic States at the end of the year, Putin wants to pressure Western Europe to stop supporting the Ukraine in their war with Russia.  The conflict with Russia is coming folks, the road has been set, the failure of the West through Appeasement of Putin has the powers in a conflict down the road.

US will win one way or another in Iran - Trump - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 8.05pm post the following, " Trump says US will win war with Iran: 'It’s going to be one way or the other' "

Let's Get Real:

Trump language is always its going to be big, total destruction or Iran will make a deal, and it always ends in the same in failure, one wonders if Trump has ever read a book on Presidential history, JFK and Reagan took the blame when things went wrong, Bay of Pigs or Iran - Contra affair.  These were Presidents lead by inspiring rhetoric and deeds! Trump just waffles and waffles and lies.  If POTUS wants to win in Iran, he had to send in ground troops, the American people like winners not losers! Trump is a major loser! 

A Job not Benefits - Update

BBC News: Reports " The chancellor has warned against allowing Britain's benefits bill to balloon while not offering young people opportunities. "

Let's Get Real:

The Chancellor of the Exchequer could be Conservative, the problem is that the Labour backbenchers will never cut the welfare budget, they refused under Sir Keir Starmer, what will be they like after the budget, its either tax hikes or more borrowing, we haven't come to the promised increase in the defence budget, what if Russia invades a NATO country, that would mean that any talk about social care will be thrown in to the long grass! It's the unexpected events that throw you off course, and WW3 is such an event.  The Labour Government has not got the people ready for war, its coming folks.  Putin needs a diversion from the Ukraine, he has to get the timing right, he needs Trump in the Oval, an appeaser of the 1st order.

Trump invites Putin to G20 in Florida - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.08pm post the following, "  US side has confirmed that they have invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the upcoming G20 Summit in Miami in December. "

Let's Get Real:

What is it with Trump, is he afraid of Putin, has the Kremlin some compromising pics of Trump, no other politician would bend over backwards to please Putin.  The First Lady has stated Trump cannot handle the truth, someone has to tell him his polls are down the toilet in the sewers, his policy's are not popular, having a go at the Russians is always popular, and what does Trump do but invite Putin to Florida, a WAR CRIMINAL meeting a Felon.  If a writer wrote this for the TV series West Wing he would be laughed out of the Writer's room.  The Democrats will investigate Trump all day and night after they take the House in November, will that wake up Trump.

The 2028 Race - Update

CNN: Reports the following, " Possible Democratic and Republican contenders are hitting the midterm trail in states that just happen to hold early presidential contests. "

Let's Get Real:

There will be no Trump on the ticket in 2028, the first time since 2012 and Romney challenged President Obama.  The Democrats have had female nominee's who went on to lose, Clinton in 2016 and VP Harris in 2024, will they  chance their luck again and have another female nominee, Former VP Harris might run again, but this time she will face a contest from Democratic Governors, her advantage is that she does not have to defend President Biden, she can throw him under the bus this time.  Also the Democratic Nominee will have to run on his/her promise for the future.  The campaign can't just be about how bad Trump is, the American people want hope for the future.  On the Republican side VP Vance is the leading candidate, he has to worry about what Trump will say or do, the Trump Oval will want to be part of the news cycle, keeping quiet is not part of the Trump persona.

Ukraine willing to have energy ceasefire - Zelensky - Update

Noted: POTUS at the UN, he has no Presidential Credibility left, this blog will only report on actual actions, Trump is all hat and no cattle.  Trump stated on Iran, in essence deal or be destroyed! We have heard this before, and Trump does nothing.

BBC News: Reports in its 10.07pm post the following, " Ukraine is open to negotiating an "energy ceasefire" with Russia, and that the US has agreed to share the proposition with the Kremlin. "

Let's Get Real:

The Ukraine needs some rest and energy to heat homes and flats. This is no concern of Putin, he wants to destroy the Ukraine and its democracy, he wants the old USSR back or even better Imperial Russia, he is an autocratic after all, the recent Parliamentary Elections have given the green light to escalate the War with the Ukraine, by attacking  a NATO country.  Thus the Baltics and Poland should be on ALERT.

Largest Ukraine Drone strike on Moscow - Update

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine has fired its largest  attack on the Moscow region, the mayor has said, hitting the city's main oil refinery and a residential building. "

Let's Get Real:

The loss of innocent lives on both sides is SAD, there is one man responsible, that is President Putin of Russia, he invaded a democracy in the Ukraine, he is trying to rebuild the USSR or Imperial Russia, he could STOP it now if he wanted, he is a WAR CRIMINAL for a reason, the Russian army is barbaric and has committed murder and rape in Russia.  NATO cannot relay on the US, the Oval is out to lunch, Trump is an appeaser of the first order.  There are reports that Russia will mount cyber warfare or hit a NATO Country with Drones, accidentally on purpose! Ukraine must be supported, otherwise we are on the road WW3.

Tougher US sanctions on Russia - Update

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping sanctions bill, taking aim at Russia's economy by punishing major purchasers of its oil and gas.  "

Let's Get Real:

Finally Trump has seen the light or his polls have shown him he can't keep appeasing Putin.  The new sanctions are tough and should have some effect on India and China, they buy oil from Russia.  The new sanctions also target Iran.  Trump has scored a victory in Greenland by having permanent control of Greenland's security, he has to get his polls up before the Mid Terms in November.

Poland WARNS of ATTACKS on NATO Nations - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.23 post the following, "  Russia planning strikes against countries supporting Ukraine, Polish PM warns "

Let's Get Real:

The Polish warning should be taken seriously, they are the closes Nation close to the Ukraine, with the exception of the Baltic States, if they are WORRIED, then the rest of Europe should be on alert.  The Russians have escalated over the past few weeks, with drone attack on a German airport that is used to send military equipment to the Ukraine, the Germans have seen attempted attacks on their power stations, NATO fighter jets have had to shoot down drones, the WARNING for the CIA is clear, the Russians will attack either through cyberwarfare, drones strikes on the taking of land of a NATO Country just to see if NATO acts, one can expect Trump to appease Putin, he is Putin's puppet he has shown this through his actions, or lack of action of helping the Ukraine.  Putin needs Trump in the Oval to appease him, he cannot take a risk of Democrat being the next President who will not appease him in the long term. 

Vote for the Ukraine War - Putin - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.33pm post the following?  " Putin brands Russian election a popularity test for war "

Let's Get Real:

Russia is an autocracy, ruled by one man, President Putin, he has destroyed whatever democracy there was in Russia in the 1990s.   The result is a forgone conclusion, the Regime will fix the result, the trick is working what the actual result would be without the fix.  The War in the Ukraine has been getting  the Russian people, refineries have been hit deep in Russia, there have been long lines for gas and even fights breaking out at gas stations.  Trump has called on the Ukraine to stop hitting oil refineries, as this effects the gas prices in the US, no mention of the War he started in Iran.  As the fix is in, one does wonder how many days does Putin have in power.
