Cuba is next for Trump ? - Update

BBC News: Reports " Cuba poses a "national security threat" to the US and the likelihood of a peaceful agreement is "not high", US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said. "

Let's Get Real:

Cuba is 90 miles from Florida and has been a thorn in the US for decades.  The Communist Regime has supported left wing Regimes in Southern and Central.   The fall of the USSR in 1991, cut off the main supporter of Cuba, Venezuela under the know imprisoned President gave them oil, that has stopped under US pressure.  Taking Cuba would be a major success for Trump, as long as it can be done peacefully or limited military action  JFK would be smiling from Presidential heaven.

US and Israeli plan for Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " US and Israel ‘hoped to install Ahmadinejad as Iran’s leader’....Airstrike at the start of the war was aimed at freeing populist ex-president from house arrest, US newspaper clpaims " 

Let's Get Real:

This would have been an out there plan, Ahmadinejad is from central casting as a villain, he looks like the devil and his views are evil.  The article reports that Trump wanted another Venezuela, taking out the leadership but keeping the Regime in power. The article reports that the Former President was out of favour with the now dead leader, the Supreme Leader.  Interesting and fascinating story if true.

Trump's latest threat to Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Donald Trump has threatened to 'obliterate' Iran by destroying all of its bridges and power plants in just four hours tomorrow night.  "

Let's Get Real:

Thus Iran has a few hours to decided if it want to go back to the stone age or hope that Trump is bluffing.  If this blog was the Tehran Regime it would take Trump seriously, he was serious about Venezuela and its leader is now in a New York Jail.  The Trump has to be read carefully, the New York Market man have said that POTUS has TACO, Trump always chickens out, he knows that is the charge from his friends in New York and the media.   Thus tomorrow is the deadline, it will be Wednesday in the UK, what  will in be, Iran?

Trump has a final vote on the Iranian succession as Supreme Leader- Trump

Sky News: Reports in its 4.25pm post the following, " Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader  " 

Let's Get Real:

The powers of the Presidency has gone to Trump's head, he thinks he can follow the example of Venezuela, someone needs to talk to him and fast, this will not go down well in Iran, the students have been taught about the 1953 CIA/MI6 inspired Coup that replaced left winger PM with the Monarchy, the Iranian people are a proud people, the theocracy will use these  remarks against Trump.  

Geneva talks between Iran and US - Update

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.

Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier located near Oman - Update

BBC News: Reports the Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier has been located near Oman.

Let's Get Real:

Trump is shadow boxing with two aircraft carriers in the Middle East, as the article notes there are further talks with Iran, Tehran can play this game for years, just give enough to give Trump the appearance of a good deal, that all he wants at the end of the day! This blog will be shocked if he does anything, he is to afraid of a long war, he wants short wars with great headlines, as was the case with Venezuela.  Then there are the Mid Terms in November, he does not want the Democrats in charge of the House and Senate.

 

Venezuela had ENOUGH of Trump's orders - Update

The Hill: Reports " Venezuela acting president says she’s had ‘enough’ of orders from Washington "

Lets Get Real:

Thus what will Trump do now that his colony saying NO to his orders, he might want the press to return to the issue of Venezuela, he kidnapped the corrupt President, this blog gave TRUMP praise for that, but now he has internal problems WITH ICE.   Then there is Iran, will POTUS want to take action since the US fleet Abraham Lincoln is in place.  On both issues this blog says NO, it might taken ground troops to be successful in Venezuela and Iran, Trump wants quick victories, no tough WARS, thus Trump with his lack of action towards the defending the Iranian protesters, one can see that Trump is WAR averse, he does not like political hits, and he likes quick wins, his base does not want long term wars.  Reagan lost over 240+ Marines in Lebanon in 1983 and then invaded Grenada following day, Reagan had a backbone, unlike the WIMP Trump,

466 Protesters killed Iran - Update

Sky News:  Reports  in its 3.22 pm post that 466 protesters have been killed by Tehran Regime.

Lets Get Real:

Where is the Trump Oval, it has promised assistance to the protesters, how putting about putting fighter Jets in the air, above Tehran, to take down the security forces, or some covert action, the CIA is good at that, it had a successful operation in Venezuela, how hard can it be to depose a  theocracy, people are dying, time for ACTION.

Mass Protests in Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports on a bloody Saturdy in Iran, protests by the people against the implosion of the economy of Iran and violent actions by Tehran Regime in response.

Lets Get Real:

The reason the Iranian economy is down the toilet is  due the Tehran Regime, it is under heavy sanctions by the US and the actions of Regime, supporting terrorism around the Middle East, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria.   The people of Iran have the chance for freedom from the theocracy, they should not expect support from President Trump, he just wants the oil from Venezuela, the Trump Oval, will only take action if Iran attempts to go nuclear or increase its Ballistic Missiles ability.  There will be casualties, but freedom is the price.

Venezuela tanken seized by the US - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 1.55pm post that the US has seized the Venezuela oil tanker, as it is under sanction by the US.

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Trump Oval has seized the President of Venezuela in a daring military operation at night and has stated that Trump knows run Venezuela.  The old regime has been left in place, Trump has learned the lessons of Iraq.   The Russians won't be happy, the tanker had changed its name and changed its flag to Russian.  There were reports that it was being escorted by a Russian Navy ship and sub! That did not work then for the ship.  Another success for Trump, it will go to his head.  The UK helped the US with this action, as stated by the UK MOD.

Update: The US has seized another tanker linked to Venezuela, the Sophia was taken in the Caribbean.

US to Support Multinational Force in the Ukraine- Update

Guardian: Reports in its 2.39pm post that the US will support a multinational force in the Ukraine.  This is a draft statement.

Lets Get Real:

The PRICE of the above could be Greeland, let's hope not!  The US is the sole Super power left, as Venezuela has shown.   The Trump Oval has a few Countries on its hit list, Colombia, Cuba, Iran, who is next?  The Trump Oval has learned that in foreign affairs the Oval Office has a free hand, in a 2nd term, the Democrats could take the House in the Mid Terms this year.   Thus Trump should use the time before that to make his moves, the Democrats will want to impeachment him again!

France seeks to firm and secure Security Guarantees for the Ukraine - Update

BBC News: Reports that the French President is holding a meeting of the coalition of the willing to set firm and secure Security Guarantees for the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The coalition of the willing want the US as a backstop to any security guarantees, thus Venezuela causes a problem and Trump going on about Greenland does not help matters.  Any invasion of Greenland would mean the END of NATO and bring pleasure to Putin of Russia, thus Sir Keir Starmer should get on a plane and visit Trump, to see how serious he is about the idea, and to warn him of if it is a REAL THREAT.

Maduro pleads Not Guilty in Court - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.16pm post that former President of Maduro has pleaded Not Guilty to the chages he faces:

Lets Get Real:

This case will take years! That is the US legal system, the actual court case might take a year to come to trial, the defence team will have access to government documents and thus will produce a defence, it might suit the Trump Oval to have Maduro in New York, trade him on condition that US gets the oil reserve in Venezuela, that is down the line.  The World is going to learn about the US Federal Court System over the months and years!  An issue for 2026 Mid Terms, the Democrats have to be wary of being on the same page as former President Maduro.

Former VP Harris Critical of the Venezuelan Operation.

Sky News: Reports in its 11.32am post that former VP Harris has been critical of Trump's Venezuela operation.

Lets Get Real:

Former VP Harris is showing why she lost to Trump, CNN and other liberal outlets are going on about International law, that is fine if the operation had gone badly, the Oval Office JUST has to point to the pictures of Maduro in cuffs doing the perp WALK in New York.   International law is fine, but when a operation is a big success, you cheer the Delta Force that captured Maduro and hopes the story fades.  As stated in previous post this is the year of the Mid Terms, one can see the adverts NOW, those that supported Trump and the Democrats who are more interested in the rights of drug deals.  Do the Democrats ever LEARN, or are they jus Doves by nature, and not to be trusted with National Security.

Maduro arrives at NY Court

BBC News: Reports in its 12.49pm post that former President Maudro has arrived ar a NY Federal Court.

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats are furious about about Trump's success in Venezuela.   They are quick to condemn, but that is a mistake, Trump's polls should go up, even his MAGA base should be supportive, nothing works better than success! The Mid Terms are in November, Trump will milk all he can from Venezuela success, politics turn fast, be wary Democrats.

New Venezuelan President scorns Trump - Update

 Daily Mail: Reports " Venezuela's new hardline socialist leader Delcy Rodriguez hurls insults at Trump as Rubio sets out US demands and says 'adversaries' cannot control the country's oil "

Lets Get Real:

The above could be for internal public show, to give the impression that the Regime is still in charge, if not then the Trump Oval will have to take further military action, and remove the Regime from power.   The Oval Office can not afford to lose any credibility over Venezuela, this might be the only time Trump has a chance to make his mark in Southern America.  Also it would cut off oil aid and monies to Iran, Cuba and Russia.  Also Cuba could be on the horizon ( please see previous post ).  Tense hours and days ahead for Venezuela and the Trump Oval.

VENEZUELA Defenc Minister calls for the return of Maduro - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.40pm post that the Venezuela Defence Minister has stated that Maduro should be returned as President.

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval might say its running Venezuela, but that depends on the Maduro Regime playing ball, otherwise the US might need troops on the ground, tricky after Afghanistan and Iraq, the US might need to put the fear of God in to the Regime, do as we say or there will be another military strike.  INTERESTING to see who blinks first, Trump wants the oil and the return of Democracy to Venezuela or what is the point of the action.

Is Cuba NEXT ? - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 2.49pm post that the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that Cuba could be next.

Lets Get Real:

No one has more loathing for the Communist Government than this Blog.   If you read enough about JFK, the loathing migrates to you, the political prisoners held, supporting left wing groups in the America's, a cancer on the body politic of Southern and Central America.  The problem is JFK stated that US would never invade Cuba at the conclusion of the Cuban Missile Crisis.    As it was said during the Cold War, is it NOW void, interesting diplomatic question.

US has the leverages over the new Venezuela Government - Secretary Rubio

BBC News: Reports that Secretary of State, Marco Rubio has stated the US has leverage over the new Venezuela Government.

Lets Get Real:

The US Government has learned from IRAQ, they are going to use Maduro Government to get what they want, the oil and Iranian and Cuban advisors OUT, if the Government does not agree, then the US can use force. The US cannot keep the Naval force on standby forever, thus expect action either way, the new Venezuela President has stated she will play ball, we shall see the outcome.

US to RUN Venezuela - Trump

Sky News: Reports in its 4.46pm post that the US will run Venezuela after the capture of ex President Maduro, as stated by President Trump in Florida.

Lets Get Real:

Thus move by Trump will get a critical reaction from those that opposed Maduro in Venezuela.  The US Democrats will be up in arms, suddenly the US has an Empire.  This blog does not see Trump giving up Venezuela, all that oil that Venezuela has,  he will want the US to have payback, does Trump really mean to run Venezuela, we shall see over the next few hours and days.
