Sky News: Reports in its 6.36am post the following, " NATO jets scrambled and air raid alerts in Lithuania and Poland: "
Let's Get Real:
This getting annoying, the Russians need to be warned off with direction action, NATO or the coalition of the willing should do air cover for the Ukraine or place troops the Ukraine and draw a line in the sand, this far and no further. The Kremlin pushing the envelope as far as it can, one day they will go to far, and then we are looking down the gun at WW3.
BBC News: Reports in its 7.07am post the following, " Burnham to meet Zelensky and hand long-range missile blueprints on first foreign trip as UK PM "
Let's Get Real:
This is a good move by PM Burnham, the long range blueprints that the UK will give Ukraine, will make Putin's Kremlin furious, also it shows the new PM is committing to the Ukraine as has previous UK PMs, the UK has stood by the Ukraine while US has and is still wobbling over support for the Ukraine.
Sky News: Reports in its 7.04am post the following, " Number of dead rises as Zelenskyy warns 'parents and children' killed overnight "
Let's Get Real:
This is never ending, the Russians have been pushed back at the front, Ukrainian drones have hit Russia hard, warehouses that supply Russian Drones with parts have been hit, oil Depos have also been hit, as stated Crimea is in a State of Emergency have Ukrainian drones strikes. President Zelensky has asked Trump for more Patriot missiles to defend the Ukraine, Western leaders should remember its the Ukraine now, it could be Western Europe next if the Ukraine falls to Putin.
Sky News: Reports in its 4.28pm post the following, " Zelenskyy says he and Trump had 'good meeting' "
Let's Get Real:
The reason Trump has changed his tune on Zelensky and the Ukraine is the fact that the Ukraine is winning on the front with its Drones and hitting Russia hard with new Drones doing damage to the Russian homeland. Putin is on the back foot, and he can't hide the fact that Russia has lost a million men through Dearg and injuries. The Ukraine has lost less due to their ability to developed new technologies and Drones. The KYIV Governmemt still needs defensive missiles from the US and the continual Western support from NATO and the coalition of the willing. The Ukraine has a fighting chance now, hope still lives in the Ukraine.
Sky News: Reports in its 10.20am post the following, " Trump: NATO has 'DONE 0NOTHING' to help with 'LUNATpIC' Iran "
Let's Get Real:
As the article notes, POTUS has asked for help, but NATO countries have said a big NO, thus illogical remarks later that the US does not need NATO. The problem for NATO countries is that they will have to carry the military load for the Ukraine and Western Europe. Trump cannot leave NATO, it would be against US Law. Before Trump was re-elected, the US passed a law that prevent Presidents leaving NATO. The law was passed just in case Trump won. The Oval can make life uncomfortable for the Ukraine and Europe, there will be payback from Trump after the US - Iran WAR is finished.
Sky News: Reports in its 6.48am post that President Zelensky of Ukraine has called President Trump not fair in his handling of the Ukraine War.
Let's Get Real:
The Trump Oval will hit the roof because of the above comments, POTUS does not liked to be criticised and will take revenge, he is very thin skinned, and might not agree to sign security guarantees, that he has agreed too in the past, thus the War goes on and Ukrainian soldiers and innocent people are killed, Shame on Putin and Russia.
BBC News: Reports " Talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US aimed at ending Moscow's war in Ukraine have concluded without a breakthrough. "
Let's Get Real:
The failure of the TALKS will not go down well with Trump Oval. TRUMP has places pressure on the Ukraine to make concessions, he has given Russia a free pass, what happens to his June deadline, does it pass like others, or does Trump wash hands of the business, and cuts the Ukraine off when it comes to military aid, the coalition of the willing will have to back the Kyiv Government, the WAR goes on!.
Sky News: Reports in its 7.05pm post that Russia has stated that the talks between themselves and the Ukraine was TENSE.
Let's Get Real:
The Kyiv Government should not allow themselves to be intermediated by Moscow or bullied by President Trump. The Trump Oval wants a quick peace deal and good headlines, President Trump once stated that the Ukraine has NO CARDS, as usual Trump is WRONG, the Ukraine has Europe, who know if the Ukraine falls they are next targets of Putin, it has to be stated that President of the Ukraine has offered a Referendum and elections in the Spring, based on signed security guarantees by the US and Europe, this would include the Coalition of the Willing who are ready to place troops in the Ukraine as a security guarantee against Russia coming back for more in a few years time, this assuming the people of the Ukraine agree to the Donbas being part of Russia, that is not certain that they would support such a deal, whatever Trump wants. Europe must always have the back of the Ukraine, even if that means an increase in defence spending, that will drive the left of the Labour Party nuts, they just want welfare and appease Russia.
Guardian: Reports " Ukraine must reach a deal with Russia ‘fast’, says president before trilateral talks "
Let's Get Real:
This is Trump placing pressure on Ukraine to fold, Kyiv should stand strong, the coalition of the willing will support them with arms and Intelligence, Trump has a mental problem of being tough on tyrants and dictatorships, as with the case of the theocracy in Iran and the Putin in Russia, he wants to please them and get the praise, Trump is another Neville Chamberlain in the making, and that lead to WW2.
Sky News: Reports in its 9.00am post of a mass blackout in a Russian Border towns after attack by Ukraine.
Let's Get Real:
This shows Ukraine has cards to play, and can cause the same destruction as Russia has done all over the Ukraine. The Munich Security Conference showed that the European Allies think the June deadline by POTUS is nonsense, more months of death and destruction in the Ukraine War to come.
Sky News: Reports in its 7.46am post that Russia has stated they do not accept the need for NATO tròops in Ukraine as a form of a security by the coalition of the willing.
Lets Get Real:
The Ukraine needs NATO Troops as a security guarantee, to prevent Russia going back on any deal. Former President Medvedev has a habit of sabre rattling, one does question how close he is to Putin. Any real deal needs a credibility of US and Western Security, in less Trump takes the side of Putin again.
BBC News: Reports on the new US National Defence Strategy as published by the War Department. In essence NATO and Asian Allies are up the Creek with No paddle. It states South Korea can deal with North Korea, Taiwan does not get a mentioned, even after US sold billions in defence equipment to the Island. This document is an isolation US view of the World.
Lets Get Real:
Thus NATO Allies will have protect the Ukraine, Taiwan on the whole is by itself, even if the US law must protect the small Democrstic Island. The paper will be a bigger shock to South Korea, this blog predicts predicts it will develop a nuclear bomb, it has too, North Korea is a nuclear armed State. Trump is a menace to World security, let's hope the Democrats win big in November and push back on Trump.
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!
Guardian: Reports in its 11.49am post that President Zelensky has stated that foreign troops are needed to show a real security guarantee from the coalition of the willing.
Lets Get Real:
This shows that neither the Ukraine or the coalition of the willing TRUST the word of the Russians or their leader President Putin. THE West will be drawing a line in the sand, this and no further! The troops will be at RISK from the Russians, they will need to go in full combat mode, if it happens there will be casualties, everyone needs their eyes open to the consequences, it could lead to WW3.
Sky News Reports in its 11.08am post the new Peace Plan for the Ukraine - Russian War, " Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the latest version of a 20-point peace plan agreed by Ukraine and the US has been shared with Russian negotiators. "
Lets Get Real:
The Russian version cooked up by the US and Russia has been binned, the new plan is more Ukraine cantered, not gifts for the Russians for invading, the Donbas would become a Free Economic Zone, but with the Ukraine doing policing of the area. The Army would stay at eight hundred thousand and the Ukraine would get NATO like security guarantees, one presumes with the coalition of the willing to safe guard the border, and to prevent any violations. One doubts that the Russians will sign up, they are winging the gradual war in the Donbas and they will want to show to the Russian public that they have won, after the cost in troops in treasure. Thus more endless talks, Europe will have to back Ukraine, the era of Pax America is over.
BBC News: Reports that President Zelensky has moved to accept a Free Economic Zone or a non Military Zone, with the coalition of the willing as back up, also a security guarantee from the US.
Lets Get Real:
Moscow will say NO, why bother asking them or it will be a Yes,But. Putin wants the whole of Donbas, he has made the CLEAR, Europe will have to defend the Ukraine or they are NEXT, and they are part of NATO, thus WW3. Poor Ukraine.
Sky News: Reports in its 9.05am post that Russia has stated it has no understanding of the new and REVISED Peace plan.
Lets Get Real:
The Russians are stuck in their previous demands, they must have seen the news from Berlin, they will NEVER accept Western Troops in the Ukraine or the US security guarantees from the US and Europe. Thus the Trump will have to make a choice, does he support Europe over Russia, did he have balls of steel to go up against Putin, his tyrant buddy. The next few days will be interesting.
Guardian: Reports in its 3.49pm post that the coalition of the willing, UK,France and Germany had critical talks with US President Donald Trump on the Ukrainian peace plan.
Lets Get Real:
It has come to something, that the suppose Western Allies have to have a frank talk about European security, and the problem is not Russia as such, but the Oval Office. This could be the break up of the Western Alliance, a system that has defended the US and Europe against the Evil Empire of Russia since the dawn of the Cold War. The question is will Trump and coalition of the willing give security guarantees to Ukraine, does NATO still have a job. Interesting days ahead.
Sky News: Reports in its 2.16pm post that the Ukrainian Government will give its revised and amended peace plan ti the US.
Lets Get Real:
The revised and amended plan will go down like the Titanic with the US, Trump has shown his true colours, he is a Russian puppet, if Kyiv does not give land concessions in the Donbas or cap its forces, this won't fly with Moscow, the Europeans want to be part of the process, thus we come to the Coalition of the willing, in this case the UK,France and Germany, they want solid security guarantees from the US, in Treaty form, the MAGA supporters will oppose that kind of Treaty, expect a negative reaction from the US and Russia. What security guarantees will Europe give, this is the time for Europe to show its collective power.
BBC News: Reports President Zelensky is willing to hold elections in the Ukraine if there are security guarantees from the US and Europe.
Lets Get Real:
This is a clever move by Zelensky, it places the onus in the US and Europe. This will shut up Trump, he cannot give security guarantees as this would require Senate Approval if in Treaty form, this would guarantee security guarantees by the US. The Republican base of Trump supporters would oppose, they fear another Iraq or Afghanistan. PUTIN will get his wish, he will need a weak candidate that he can control if in opposition to Zelensky. The Europeans will also be called to place troops on the ground, something Putin will oppose. IN the end elections will not be held, to much trouble for the coalition of the willing and the US.
