Iran has backed off - US Defence Secretary - Middle East/Persia - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said Tuesday that the threat from Iran is 'on hold,' as he attempted to deescalate a conflict with Tehran.  "

Lets Get Real:

One assumes IRAN has sent word through backchannels that it has gotten the message and will back off, otherwise the US is taking a risk.  The US Intelligence network from the CIA to the NSA will be keeping a close eye on Iran, we are in the 60 day deadline for Iran to start to go nuclear if the UN does not come with a plan to help it avoid US sanctions, also the Intelligence network of Israel, the Mossad will be closely watching the nuclear process in Iran, Jerusalem will not allow Iran to go nuclear, they bombed Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007 when these Countries were on the cusp of going nuclear.   The US has to place even tougher sanctions on Iran, make the regime sweat, make the armed forces less well off, also check the terrorist allies of IRAN in the region, time for Trump to find his backbone. 

How PM May lost her NEW DEAL even before she finished a Speech - Brexit Update 2 - NO BREXIT

Sky News: Reports " Theresa May bids to save her Brexit deal but loses more MPs' support...Plans for a vote on a second referendum and promises about replacing the backstop fail to win over politicians on all sides.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus another disastrous speech by PM May on BREXIT, the PM should either have gone for a HARD BREXIT or a HARD REMAIN stand.  The speech in the end please no one and it will lead to her NEW DEAL being defeated in the House of Commons.  After the DEFEAT the PM is expected to resign, she will have served just a bit longer that Gordon Brown, another disastrous PM.  The HARD BREXIT MPs should support a strong candidate who supports the UK getting out of the EU as quick as possible.   In this case it has to be either Johnson or Gove, the fact that Gove has supported the PM might count against him, while Boris Johnson resigned from the Cabinet and has been a fierce critic of PM May.   The Conservatives members want their man in No 10, someone who will use great rhetoric to show how good the UK could be out of the EU.   The Conservative leadership contest should not take weeks, a month would be good enough, a new PM is needed and fast. 

May's latest FAILED Gamit - Brexit Update 1 - NO BREXIT

BBC News: Reports " Theresa May has said MPs have "one last chance" to deliver Brexit, urging them to back what she called a "new deal".  "

Lets Get Real:

PM May has the political instinct of a political dodo, in other words, everything she touches fails or is dead on arrival.   The new deal even offers a new vote on a 2nd Referendum if her agreement is agreed by the House of Commons.  That has annoyed HARD BREXIT supporters and even those loyal to the PM know the game is up.   Why do female PM's lose it by the end, even the great PM, Lady Thatcher was out of touch with her Party and the public mood in 1990, at least the great Iron Lady had 11 years of a record and success, from the domestic and international field.  A recent poll found her to be considered the near the greatest PM since 1945, the top title went to Sir Winston Churchill ( one assumes the snowflake generation think he served after 1945 as PM, he lost that general election but came back in early 1950s as PM.  One writer called it Churchill's Indian Summer )  It is really time for PM May to go, hand in the keys to No 10 to her successor, this blog is supporting Boris Johnson, the Conservatives have to take a risk, otherwise the BREXIT Party will take over from them.   VOTE BREXIT Party in the Euro Elections, send a clear message. 

Trump NOT TALKING to Iran - Part 2 - Middle East/Persia - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Trump says he is NOT talking to Iran and boasts the mullahs' economy 'continues to collapse' as he steps up war of words over tensions in the Gulf  "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes there are backchannels between the US and Iran, it only needs an accident for all out war to happen between the two.   Even at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 JFK had backchannels with the then USSR.  Of course un-official backchannel might be happening via the Swiss who have dealt with the US and Iran relationship since the revolution in Iran.  The Tehran Regime needs to be VERY CAREFUL, it just might be in the interest of Trump for there to be a WAR BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES, it would place the very liberal Democrats in a tight spot, they could hardly be critical with the US fighting a WAR.  One hopes that the religious theocracy in Iran has control of its forces and its terrorist allies, otherwise the Iran and the US could walk in to WAR. 

UK Chancellor stokes PROJECT FEAR - Brexit Update 1 - NO BREIXT

I have tried to avoid BREXIT, sometimes you just can't!!

Sky News: Reports " Chancellor Philip Hammond: No-deal Brexit effects cannot be avoided  "

Lets Get Real:

The HARD REMAINERS are starting up project fear again, the UK Treasury is full of remainers, and they are headed by a HARD REMAINER in Chancellor Hammond.   When PM May's latest deal is defeated in the House of Commons, the PM can do the Country and the Conservative Party a favour, she can sack the Chancellor and send him back to the backbenches.   The new Conservative Leader has to be a tough Brexit supporter, someone who actually believes in Democracy.  The UK has to leave the EU by October otherwise we are no longer a Democracy, did Churchill and the RAF save us in 1940 to surrender at the temple that is the EU, time for UK voters to find their backbone and vote for the BREXIT PARTY. 

Iran rebuffs POTUS on Military Threat - Middle East/Persia - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has dismissed US President Donald Trump's "genocidal taunts" and warned him not to threaten the country.  "

Lets Get Real:

In many respects President Trump, he talks tough but when you get down to it, POTUS is an appeaser of the first order.  In the 2nd Obama Term, President Obama allowed his Secretary of State, John F. Kerry to march the troops up the hill when it came to Syria, and then cut him lose when the UK House of Commons would to support military strikes on Assad's Syria.   As with Syria and now IRAN, POTUS talks tough but when you get down it, he freezes, just look at Venezuela, both the National Security Adviser and the Secretary of State talk tough on removing the Government of Venezuela and what happened, a FAT NOTHING, tough sanctions that hit the people, while Government and Military ELITE do not suffer.   It has been stated that Trump is a new appeaser, just he shows a tough face but when you get down it, he STOPS.  In his campaign in 2016 Trump made it clear that he does not want to LEAD THE WORLD, this is a return to the US of the 1920s, where the voters did not want to see in another World War, it would take twenty years for the US voter to find its backbone with WW2, only after Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbour on December 7th 1941.   Thus it can be postulated that TRUMP will never attack Iran, and sooner or later, Iran will get the bomb. 

World OIL under THREAT in the Persian Gulf - Part 4- Middle East/Persia - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " US-Iran conflict would hit energy supplies, says Iranian general..Gen Saleh Jokar also says Iran’s missiles could easily reach US warships in Gulf  "

Lets Get Real:

One has to ask, are the military and the Supreme Leader on the same page when it comes to ACTION with the US.  As stated that is the problem when you have a religious theocracy in charge of Country.  There is the Supreme Leader who has the ultimate say, then the secular government that has limited power and then the military who's sole existence is to keep Iran a religious tyranny in power, also has a hefty interest in the economy of Iran.  The Trump Oval has to make it clear to IRAN, if any US SHIPS are hit by a missile its OVER for Iran.  The US will simply bomb IRAN back to pre stone age, and they have that kind of power.  Let's recall the US has the MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS, non nuclear, very effective in Afghanistan. 

The CLOCK IS TICKING!!
