Deadlock in Israeli General Election - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, "Partial results from Israel's general election show veteran Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is leading his rival, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, but is still short of a majority in parliament. "

Let's Get Real:

This is the last thing Israel needs, its Prime Minister is a WAR CRIMINAL to the outside world, he is in the company with President Putin.  Also the Arab vote is interesting, they could be the Kingmakers if the other parties would work with them.  Not as easy as it sound, the cost of Arab Israeli support could make them persona grata with Jewish Israeli voters.   The above is what you can get from elite media, they hate the present government and are anti Israeli.   The present government has its faults, but has been correct in its policies since the October attacks.  They have stamped on Hamas in Gaza  and attacked Hezbollah in Lebanon and has attacked Iran in alliance with the US.  This has been the right policy.

Presidential Options on Iran - Update

CNN: Reports the following , " US has plans for major Iran strikes if Trump chooses "

Let's Get Real:

Trump 47 will bottle any action against Iran, let's see the results of the US Mid Terms and the Israeli General Elections first, Trump will not take action if the Democrats take control the US Congress after January, so any action will have to be after November and before January, also Trump will want to see if he has support of the Israeli Government.  Trump has promised big action before and failed to act, his freedom of action could be curbed by the new Congress, they have power of the US wallet.  So Christmas and New Year will be interesting, Trump has to do something, you can't have the US Navy just staying in the Middle East forever! 

Mother of All Bombs for Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports the following, " Nightmare for Trump as oil prices rocket with 12 days to midterms after report reveals president plotting 'Mother of All Bombs' Iran blitz "

Let's Get Real:

Iran is a constant trouble for POTUS, he started the War which saw oil prices go through the roof and could be the reason that Trump will lose US Congress to Democrats.   The Trump Oval has blamed Ukraine for the pain of the pump to voters who have a car, not his WAR of choice being Iran.  Both Trump and Putin have started WARS they cannot finish, Trump does not have the guts to finish of the theocracy in Iran, it takes ground troops and nerve of steel, Trump talks big  but never follows through.  If the report is true it will come to late for the Republicans to save their majorities in the US Congress.  Trump should wipe the theocracy away from Iran, it would benefit in the long term and the West.  It could bring peace to the Middle East, since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 the cancer of Iran has grown, and is a constant threat to the Middle East and the West and been a constant to the Man behind the Oval Desk. 

Trump states that he blocked Russian sanctions as to keep Russia in TALKS - Update

BBC News: Reports" US President Donald Trump has said his decision to suspend several Russian sanctions is an effort to keep Moscow at the negotiating table. "

Let's Get Real:

The above is a lie that Trump has come up due to the political backlash he received on making a diesel deal with Russia before the Mid Terms, the Russian diesel will only last for a day, the real problem in the Iran War that Trump started and does not have the guts to follow through.  The Mid Terms should be a nightmare for Republicans, the House should go Democratic, even the Senate is at risk.  Then after we should see the 2028 cycle start, it takes time to rise the money for the campaign.  

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.

2nd Houthi Strike on Saudi Arabia Airport -

BBC  News:  Reports "   One person has been killed and 11 injured in a second strike on the international airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh, officials have said. "

Let's Get Real:

The US should support Saudi Arabia should it react to this double ATTACK by  the Houthi of Yemen who support Iran.  This is a fundamental threat to the Western economy, higher the price oil, the more customer has to pay at petrol stations, thus increase in inflation,  its a vicious circle, the West in the shape of the US and UK should be part of any military action.

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.

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.

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! 

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.

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.

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.

Ukraine and Russia AGREE not to target Energy Supply facilities - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.08pm post the following, " Trump: Ukraine and Russia have agreed to stop attacking energy targets "

Let's Get Real:

One doubts the word of President Trump, his Presidential Credibility is gone due to the Iran War and his numerous false statements on the conflict.  As the article notes, POTUS blames the War in the Ukraine for the increase in gas prices and not his FAILED strategy in Iran.  The President is delusional, it is about time his got some reality in his mind from his wife, it appears he listens to her, in less she delusional also, she could be his Nancy Reagan to the Oval, telling POTUS some home truths. One doubts Russia will agree to the plan or keep their word!

Trump might need to bomb suspected Iranian nuclear site - Update

CNN: Reports " Surge in construction’ at suspected Iranian nuclear site, analysts say, as US considers ways to strike deep underground "

Let's Get Real:

Of course Iran has another nuclear site, one doubts that the first bombing did the trick.   The US Airforce will have to attack again with even bigger non nuclear bombs! It might take Ground Troops in the end, Trump is always stating Iran can't have a nuke, this time he will have to keep to his word.  A nuclear Iran is a threat to the region and the World.

Iran COUNTER STRIKES - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 9.07pm post the following, " IRGC says ‘regretful response’ to US attacks has begun "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran is testing the Trump Oval, Trump promised a heavy response should Iran Counter Attack, will will Trump do, follow his rhetoric through, or fold again, if history is a past example, he will fold again, Trump is the weakest President since Carter.   The Tehran Regime has time, Trump does not, the November Mid Terms, then we start the cycle for 2028.  The limelight will be off Trump, he will hate that fact.

US Attacks Iran - Update

CNN: Reports " US military carries out new strikes on Iranian targets "

Let's Get Real:

Either Iran reacts or does nothing, if wise and that is questionable they will not act, thus a limited operation from the US.  Trump has no Presidential Credibility any more, his harsh rhetoric on Iran is not march by military reality.  The Tehran Regime can outlast Trump, the Oval has to worry about the Mid Terms that should see Democrats take the House, even the Senate is a possibility, then in depth investigations by the Democrats and the start of the 2028 Presidential Election cycle.  

US and Iranian Strikes - Update

BBC News: Reports " Iran and the US have traded strikes after American forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. "

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Oval has to send in ground troops to secure Kharg Island and remove the oil from from Iran.  This tit for tat war will not produce a victory Trump wants, Tehran is playing Trump and the President is to delusional to see it, the Oval has a choice between victory and losing, time is on the side of Iran due to November Mid Terms.

US hits Iranian Island that dispaches mines in to Strait of Hormuz- Update

CNN: Reports " US strikes Iranian island where forces were preparing to launch mines, official says "

Let's Get Real:

The US has the air dominance over Iran, these strikes will prevent Iran from placing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, but the fear that Iran has the ability will frighten the tankers and their insurers against allowing transport of oil.  The US has to place ground troops on Kharg Island and take control of Iran's oil.  This is the only way to win the Iran War, otherwise Trump is a major loser, in the league of Hoover over the Great Depression, LBJ over the Vietnam War, and Carter over Iran hostage crisis.  Trump does not want to see himself as a loser.

CIA Director visited Russia to warn against Russian action - Update

CNN: Reports the following, " President Donald Trump’s central intelligence chief traveled to Moscow this week with a warning to Russia not to stage an attack in NATO territory, "

Let's Get Real:

The CIA Director had two messages according to the article, don't take action in the Baltic States or Poland and STOP all economic and military support for Iran.  On Putin taking action in the Baltics and Poland, this blog is convinced he will take action after he told Trump he would not, and Trump believed him, POTUS is delusional, he is Putin's puppet.  Thus as President Kennedy said to his press Secretary after meeting the USSR General Secretary " Grap your balls " it is going to be a COLD WINTER, expect something to happen later on this year! As stated Putin is to conscript three hundred thousand new troops, expect more negative stories about the Baltic States and Poland to appear on Russian State TV. On Iran the Russian Leader will continue to support Iran, it weakens US and Trump. All this could happen before the November Mid Terms in the US.

US clears Iranian mines from Strait of Hormuz- Trump - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " US President Donald Trump has said that the US Navy has removed or detonated all mines in the Strait of Hormuz - the vital waterway which Iran has largely closed since the beginning of the war in the Middle East. " 

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Oval will be touting this development in a failed strategic campaign, the military action has failed to move the Tehran Government, the only thing that will work is US ground troops, that is the one option that Trump is afraid to take, he genuinely is afraid of the loss of US Service personnel, Presidents should expect to lose troops, if they are going to be successful in foreign policy.  Trump is going big on global sanctions on Iran, we shall see if that works.  Trump and Putin are delusional, that is why they are friends, nuts like fellow nutters!
