More US Troops for the Middle East - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 4.40pm post the following, " US to deploy of thousands of additional troops to the Middle East, "

Lets Get Real:

This could really be about Kharg Island in Iran, the Island is the tap for the oil from Iran to the outer world, taking this would force to Tehran Regime to talk, they would not have the money to keep support in Iran, the Islamic Regime is as bent as you can come, they keep their street support through paying for thugs to harm and kill people.   The move on Kharg Island would be risky, there would be ground troops, Iran would try to kill or kidnap the troops and show them on Iranian TV as way to get to Americans, on the other hand this would be a mistake, the American psyche still recalls 444 days that Iran held the US Embassy staff in Iran, during the Carter Presidency.  Trump will want to win and quicky, he has the Mid Terms coming in November. 

199 Hostages in Gaza - Middle East - Israeli vs Hamas - Biden Era

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 11.41pm post the following, " Israel has confirmed at least a 199 hostages were taken to Gaza. A spokesperson for the military wing of Hamas says there are "about 200 to 250" Israeli captives being held in the enclave  "

Lets Get Real:

The reason that the IDF has not invaded Gaza could be the hostages and pressure  from the Biden Oval and of course the threat from Iran to take action.  The problem is that you cannot keep three hundred thousand men on ALERT, you either get going on go for a very much smaller action.  Hamas cannot be allowed to get way with the murders of two weeks ago.  There must be JUSTICE, the fate of the hostages is important but it can not rule that Israel does next, that is harsh, IF Israel does not act then other terrorists groups will try the same thing in the West.  President Biden is weak and is being lead by the US State Department, that would be a mistake, its like the FCO in the UK, cannot be trusted, the West has to stand tough with ISRAEL. Otherwise the terrorists win, that does not help the World.

US Hostages held in Russia - New Cold War 2 - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports in its 7.19pm post the following, " 

Why won't the Russians let go Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich?......

A Russian judge earlier upheld the pre-trial detention of jailed American journalist Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested on spying charges in Ukraine..... The Wall Street Journal reporter is the first US correspondent since the Cold War to be detained in Russia on spying allegations.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Kremlin wants hostages, enough for the US to start talks that allows the Russians to win in the Ukraine, so far they hold 2, if the Ukraine can force the Russians back to the Crimea, the Kremlin will look for a way out, the best way out is to take Americans reporters as hostages, that gets on the nightly news back home, and places pressure on the Biden Oval to do something, the White House staff should keep the issue away from the Oval, Carter had his Iran hostages, and even the great Reagan had the hostages in Lebanon in the 1980s.  Thus the Iran Contra scandal.  The President cannot become distracted by the issue, the State Department should deal with the issue, the Department should warn Americans in Russia to get out, also the West should consider telling its reporters to get out, just in case the Kremlin wants to place pressure on Europe.  This is a nasty business, and the Russians actions are a stain on its character, but for Putin it might be a way out, he wants a major summit with Biden and the result  from the Kremlin point of view would be the US telling KYIV to talk to the Russians and make concessions and the Russia will release its hostages.   This must not happen, the security of the West is at stake. 

Are the Taliban holding Americans in Afghanistan as hostages ? Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.56pm post the following, " The Taliban are preventing US citizens who are sitting in airplanes in Afghanistan from leaving the country, according to a senior Republican...He has accused the Taliban of "holding them hostage". "

Lets Get Real:

If this is true, then the Biden Oval has a problem on its hands, could the Taliban wanting an exchange, American Citizens for the frozen assets of the previous Government, ,the Americans are on planes at Mazar-e-Sharif airport, why hold the planes if not to get something back.  One will be interesting to see how the liberal media that got Biden in to OFFICE, deal with issue if it is a real issue.  The American voter will not take kindly to another hostage crisis, for some the Carter Presidency was a disaster that only finished when Reagan won the election in 1980. Interesting few days ahead.
