Talks TENSE between Russia and Ukraine - Russia

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.

BBB Passed in the Senate - Trump47

CNN: Reports thar US Senate has passed Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, by the tie breaking vote of the Vice - President.

Lets Get Real:

Thus it moves to the House, it must pass unchanged to become law.   Any changes and the bill goes back to the Senate.  The Trump Oval will have to make sure that Conservative hawks do not sink the Bill.  THEY should sink it, the bill trillions to the US National Debt and cuts welfare to much.  Politics is politics, one expects the House to pass the bill under pressure from Trump.  There is 2026 Mid Terms to come, tax cuts are always good to run on.




Trump's Domestic Agenda- BBB- Trump47

BBC News: Reports on the grind in the US Senate to pass  the Big Beautiful Bill of Trump's 2nd term agenda.

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans control all three branches of Government, in the House its by a few Seats, more of a majority in the Senate.  The BBB will confirm the Trump tax cuts of his first term and cut welfare, the Democrats are fighting this with simple point that 3 trillion will be added to the National Debt.  This should be a red line to real Conservatives, but not Trump's Republicans, the US voters will see if he Trump can master Congress like FDR, LBJ, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 43, Obama, even the semi senile Biden. Developing!

UK to give more support to the Ukraine - UK PM

BBC News:  Reports in its 4.35pm post that UK PM has stated more support for the Ukraine this year.

Lets Get Real: 

The policy on the Ukraine will test the unity of the EU and the UK, if Trump 47 pulled the plug on funding, then Europe will have to decide, welfare or military support for the Ukraine.  As with the Tariffs battle, Trump is not afraid to hit allies badly in the pocket.   The Kremlin will look on and bounce on weakness.  Interesting time ahead for NATO.
