US to reduce military drills with South Korea - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " President Donald Trump has said the US will "substantially reduce" joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his "very good relationship" with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un. "

Let's Get Real:

Trump needs to get impeached by the US Congress, this will have to wait in till the Democrats take the House in November.  The Republicans should agree as they get VP Vance, a true believer in the MAGA movement and gives them a shot at keeping the White House in 2028.  The reason that Republicans should agree to Impeachment  is the fact that Trump is a danger to US National Security and Asian security as shown by the above.

Trump warns Israeli PM and Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Frustrated Trump sends a chilling message to Netanyahu and vows to 'take out' Iran's final untouched nuclear site if deal is not reached "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval does not like to be shown in up public by a friend, specially if that friend is Israel telling him that Iran has been placing its nuclear stockpile in another mountain after Trump bombed Iran last year over the fear of its nuclear stockpile.  The Trump Oval has given peace talks with Iran a chance, its never the last time with Iran, they have talks, shoot at tankers and then have further talks, they are playing Trump for a fool.  The Trump background is real estate and reality TV, he does not understand the Iranian mind set or how to win a WAR.  The President as stated in previous post is listening to his Vice President, J.D Vance, who more concerned about the 2028 race and if he can win the MAGA base and win the General Election.  LBJ made sure his VP kept to the script, he bugged his plane as to know in advance if his VP was about to break with him over the Vietnam War, while that was going on the FBI was bugging the South Vietnam Embassy and discovered that the Nixon Campaign was telling South Vietnam not to go the Paris peace talks.  It would be fair to say that LBJ kept quiet about it, as would cause a constitutional crisis and it would be something that LBJ had over Nixon, the Watergate caper of Nixon trying find out what the Democrats had on the affair, thus the fall of Nixon.

Trump gives peace talks chance with Iran but threatens ACTION if they FAIL - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 4.28pm post the following, " Trump continues threatening Iran if deal is not reached "

Let's Get Real:

Would would Tehran take any notice of Trump and his threats.  The Trump Oval has never followed through with any of its THREATS, Trump is listening to his VP who wants to run in 2028 Presidential cycle, the MAGA faction has an Isolation policy, thank God they were not around in 1940s.  The Afghanistan and Iraq WARS have put off the American voters off from supporting Liberal intervention, JFK or Reagan would have sold the Iran War to the voters, Trump never did, thus a stop and go War in Iran, Trump is weak and thus the US is seen as weak, Trump does not have the time to play games with Iran.

PAUSE in US - Iran War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.23pm post the following, " Iran war, day 150 - hopes of peace talks grow after strikes paused for two days "

Let's Get Real:

This is a mistake by the Trump Oval, he listening to VP Vance, an idiot who stated that WW2 was bought to end by talks, as we know both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were destroyed, the Allies demanded and got Unconditional Surrender.  The Trump Oval has to destroy the Tehran Regime, it is EVIL, you do talk to EVIL, Chamberlain found that out in 1939.  Thus the US should restart bombing in till the Tehran Regime does surrender.

Trump's threat to Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 10.27am post the following,  " Trump says US may be 'forced' to 'complete the job' "

Let's Get Real:

Trump should finish the WAR he started, losers do not look good in the history books! Trump is a chicken, he writes cheques he can't pay.  HOW many times has Trump threatened to erase Iran, he always bottles it, the Allies WW2 destroyed Axis powers, not talk to them as VP Vance suggested on Meet the Press.  Obama had the Assad Regime in Syria, they crossed his red line and he did not ACT.  Trump is another Obama, WEAK.

Switzerland talks are stalled - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " Iranian negotiators suspend talks with US in protest over Trump threats.....US president has threatened to bomb Iran and kidnap negotiating team unless strait of Hormuz reopened "

Let's Get Real:

VP Vance was happy talk, while Trump was again making threats to Iran.  Its down to Lebanon again and the bad deal by Trump.    The deal gave to many concessions to Iran, US hawks have been critical of the deal, as they should be, it nearly as bad as Munich 1938.  The US has to win the WAR and not give concessions to Iran.

Trump could hit Iran Again - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.34pm post the following, " Trump threatens to 'hit Iran very hard' if it doesn't stop Hezbollah 'causing trouble' " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS does not understand the Middle East, all he understands is real estate and reality TV.  The Jerusalem Government is not going to take orders from Trump, the Government has elections coming up, so does Trump.  The Trump cannot bully Jerusalem any more, the Lebanon War is popular in Israel, it secures Northen Israel from attacks by Hezbollah.  Thus Trump know threatens Iran, Trump has shown he is a chicken of the first order.   They are empty threats from Trump,  he has made to many.  At least the Switzerland talks are going well in the Vice - President Vance, will it be Trump or Vance that are successful.

US - Iran talks called off - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.24am post the following, " US-Iran talks in Switzerland called off "

Let's Get Real: 

The tricky problem of Israel still in Lebanon, the MOU is not popular in Israel and neither is Trump.  The people of Israel think they have been sold out by an ally.  At least Israel is standing up to Hezbollah and Iran, that cannot be said of the Trump Administration.  Trump is a TACO President, a chicken in other words.

Israeli PM says that the US - Iran DEAL is the decision of Trump - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Netanyahu breaks silence on Trump deal: ‘We often agree, often disagree’  "

Let's Get Real:

Israel has made it clear that it is staying in its security zones in Lebanon.  There are a few days days before the official signing ceremony, let's see what happens in Lebanon, a week is a long time in politics!  The Daily Mail reports that VP Vance is not keeping to the line that the Strait of Hormuz will be forever toll fee, that it is for later talks, what about the nuclear stockpile will the US get that or does Iran get to keep its nuclear Ace.  Trump has stated that the US will not give money to the Tehran Government like the Obama Administration did, is that still true, or was it another lie from Trump who cannot tell the difference any more, there is the REAL WORLD and the deluded world of Trump. Time will tell.

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.

US - Iran Deal to be signed tomorrow - Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 5.51pm post the following, " Deal scheduled to be signed tomorrow, Trump says "

Let's Get Real:

Even the VP does not want his fingerprints on the document, it will be done by computer.  How bad is the deal, when will the Strait open, how about Iran's nuclear stockpile, will it ever be removed?  It's Munich 1938 all over again.

US - Iran Deal to be signed in Europe - Trump

Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump says Iran deal is nearly complete and could be signed in Europ within days " 

Let's Get Real:

Why is Trump not attending, does he have doubts about the DEAL, he does not want his fingerprints on the document, is he afraid of another Munich 1938, there is no way in hell that the Theocracy in Iran is giving up its nuclear stockpile or dust as called by Trump.  It was a redline for the theocracy in Tehran.  DOES Trump wants his VP to take the blame if the Deal falls apart and it will in time.  PEACE IN OUR TIME - Neville Chamberlain, after Munich 1938.

Iranian Red Lines - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s national security committee, wrote in a post on X that Iran’s red lines include the country’s right to enrich uranium, maintain stockpiles of enriched uranium and control the Strait of Hormuz "

Let's Get Real:

These conditions the Trump Oval could never accept, it would make Trump a BIG LOSER in US and World Terms.  Is Tehran trying to sink any memorandum of Understanding before any deal.  Are the hardliners trying to assert control of the process, they also want the US to lift sanctions. The US hawks, Republicans in the US Congress would oppose such a deal and the Democrats would have a field day before the Mid Terms.  Trump must consider bombing Iran again.  The 2028 Presidential cycle will start soon, VP Vance must be worried about his chances of winning.

US - Iran Deal - Update 2

Guardian: Reports the the following, " Trump to meet with US negotiators to decide on Iran’s ceasefire proposal......US president says it’s a ‘solid 50/50’ on either making a ‘good’ deal with Iran or striking the country anew " 

Let's Get Real:

This blog is betting that POTUS will go TACO, what concessions will he give Iran, keeping their nuclear stockpile or control of the Strait of Hormuz.  Cowardice in the face of the enemy will shatter Presidential Credibility.  The US VP will have to explain this in the 2028 cycle, Reagan and JFK are turning in their graves if Trump gives concessions. 

More Threats from Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.46am post the following, " Revolutionary Guard threatens US with 'war beyond the region' "

Let's Get Real:

Thus more threats from Iran, whatever peace Terms the Tehran Regime has sent to the US are delusional and made to confuse Trump.  The President is erratic and wants to end the War, he wants to open the Strait of Hormuz, he needs gas prices to go down.  The Democrats are breathing down his neck, the Gulf Allies are afraid if the war restarts they will become targets.  The TACO President must act or be seen as a chicken.  The 2028 Presidential cycle will start soon, his VP needs the war over and for it to be successful. 

Iran's new offer to the US - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.21am post the following, " The US has received a new Iranian proposal through Pakistani mediators - which includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but postponing nuclear negotiations  " 

Let's Get Real:

As stated Tehran is playing games, they know that the Oval could not agree to the new plan.  The media and the Democrats would have a field day, it would be another TACO moment, Trump they would say started a WAR of choice but could not win it.  Its a ploy by Tehran, endless talks that go nowhere, Trump has to stand tough even against the MAGA base, and keep his VP on the same script, he wants the nomination in 2028.

Iran discuss its Agenda with Pakistan - Update

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.  

US Delegation to Pakistan - Update

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.

Iran will TALK with US - Trump-

Guardian: Reports in its 2.57pm post the following, " Trump says Iranian leaders will 'soon be in negotiations' with US "

Let's Get Real:

One presumes that POTUS knows for a fact that the Tehran delegation will turn up in Pakistan, any humiliation climb down should not have the face of the Trump Oval behind it, that is the job of the VP, he wants the nomination in 2028 and Trump's support.  It will depend how poor deal goes down in Washington DC, will the Republicans in the Congress support the deal, even if the US gives concessions to Iran over its nuclear stockpile and the Strait.  The Trump Oval will sell ANY deal as a victory, it choose this war, did not build support for a War or sell it to the American people.

Update: Sky News reports that Pakistan is still waiting for confirmation from Tehran that they are coming to Pakistan for talks.

Update 2: Sky News reports via the New York Times that the US VP's trip to Pakistan is on hold.  This is Tehran being rude to the US and Pakistan.

Iran will probably turn up for talks with the US in Pakistan - Pakisten

Sky News: Reports in its 7.35pm post the following, " Pakistan says Iran likely to attend US talks as Trump ceasefire deadline nears "

Let's Get Real:

Thus it seems that Tehran as going to come to the talks, it will be interesting talks, as Trump will have to make concessions from the perspective of Tehran, they know that they have POTUS over a barrel.  The Trump Oval wants out, and he has sent his VP to take the political arrows if the deal falls flat in Washington D.C.  There are reports that their will be time limits on Iran's nuclear stockpile, that they could enrich it after 20 years, another President in the White House who will have to deal with the issue.  The US could be allowing Iran to have a toll on the Strait of Hormuz, that will not down well with the Gulf States and European States.   Trump is no Truman, JFK or Reagan.
