The EU playing games over the vaccine - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports " COVID-19: EU 'should consider' legal action and blocking exports over AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine row...The European Council president made the comments in a letter to EU leaders as the bloc is involved in a deepening row. "

Lets Get Real:

It wont be the UK leaving the EU that will bring the EU down, its power plays like this, the EU took to long to order the vaccine, its to full of diplomats who have nothing to do but check what everyone else has done.  Should the EU try to threaten our supplies of the vaccine, we should make it CLEAR, that any extra supplies that the UK does not need will go the OLD Commonwealth for FREE, as a sign of good will for future trade deals.  The EU needs to reform, its structure is out dates, and it is only time before another large Country leaves, if France was to leave then it would break up, even the Germans could not keep it together. 

Biden on Russia: The White House has published a readout of the telephone talks between President Biden and President Putin of Russia, " President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. They discussed both countries’ willingness to extend New START for five years, agreeing to have their teams work urgently to complete the extension by February 5. They also agreed to explore strategic stability discussions on a range of arms control and emerging security issues. President Biden reaffirmed the United States’ firm support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. He also raised other matters of concern, including the SolarWinds hack, reports of Russia placing bounties on United States soldiers in Afghanistan, interference in the 2020 United States election, and the poisoning of Aleksey Navalny. President Biden made clear that the United States will act firmly in defense of its national interests in response to actions by Russia that harm us or our allies. The two presidents agreed to maintain transparent and consistent communication going forward. "

Lets Get Real:

So the Democrats will be tough on Russia, in what way, are they going to defend the Eastern part of the Ukraine from Russia action, thus far NOTHING.   Are they going to bring Moscow to a standstill with its own cyber attack, not a good idea, the Russian systems are OLD, one would think, one does not want to start WW3 by accident, you hack something innocent, and it turns out to be the Russian nuclear codes, one never knows with the Russian bear. The readout states that Biden wants to extend the New Start Treaty, that benefits Russia and China, In other words Biden wants to return the Obama Era, when next is the appeasing of Iran, just a matter of time, tough words on the campaign trail are one thing, when in OFFICE, reality hits in.  Trump bent over backwards to PLEASE Putin, thus no difference from Biden. 

Biden and Abortion - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Joe Biden has reversed a ban on federal funds going to international aid groups that perform or inform about abortions. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has long supported abortions as a right of every woman, when the Democrats start to demagogue the issue in other Countries or non government groups, this blog feels very uneasy, it is not for the resident of the Oval Office, Republican or Democrats to rant to other Countries about their abortion rights.  Also let's not forgot the fact that Biden is a catholic, this ruling will not go down well the Vatican.  Also the move is supported by Speaker Pelosi, a Democrat who will demagogue the issue to death, if it gets one more vote for the Democrats.   It seems that the left has taken over the US Government, while the right has taken over the Republican Party.  This blog misses the Reagan years, and he started the banning on oversees abortion, he did it with style and the election clock. 

The Impeachment Trial of former President Donald Trump - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump will begin next month after an agreement reached between Senate Democrats and Republicans. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog would not be surprised  if the Trumpster turned up for his TRIAL, there is no need for him to attended by the rules of impeachment, but the TRUMP will love the fact that he can take notes and looks the Republican Senators in their eyes, and also to remind these elite voters that his base can either mean a future in the US Senate or a hash been of US politics, only the uber liberal CNN covering what you are going to say.   Those thinking of running in 2024 do not want to Trump angry with them, there might be many candidates, and the Trump base might be the difference between winning and losing.  The American Presidential cycle gets started early by every election, thus candidates might be visiting IOWA and New Hampshire before the 2022 Mid terms.  If and its a BIG IF, the Senate confirms the impeachment then Trump can not seek public office again, his base directed by him might support another candidate, thus who are the 17 Senate Republicans will risk their political career to say GUILT when it comes to Trump. 

Biden and Iran - How to Appease Biden style - Biden Era

Giving POTUS the benefit the doubt might end sooner than I expected !

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.46 that the new Biden Press Secretary has stated the following on Iran, "  Also asked about the Iran Nuclear Deal, which Donald Trump pulled out of, she said that Iran "must resume compliance".  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Biden Administration starts its dance of appeasing Iran, one can see POTUS lifting some of the Trump sanctions, in this he will be helped by a WEAK Europe and the UK, and then allowing some nuclear material by Iran, Tehran will of course break any deal with secret operations that will only come to light by Israeli intelligence, the US can never match the Mossad when it comes to spy craft in the Middle East.  Thus in a couple of years, Tehran will have the bomb and it will be re - run of the North Korea problem.  Tehran will sabre rattle knowing that the West can not act, due to the fear of how Tehran will react.  This game has been played before, if it was not serious and dangerous it would be funny.  History does repeat itself. 

The Trump COMEBACK starts - the Trump Presidential Library - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 01.15am post the following, " Now online: the Donald Trump Presidential Library "

Lets Get Real:

That was a very fast turn around by the former President, normally it takes a few weeks for a former President and his new staff to get the social media wing open.  Let's remember one thing folks, this is about the Impeachment Trial and the thought that Trump will in run again 2024.  At the trial the Trump team will make it clear  that it will cost for Republican Senators to support a guilty plea, it could be the end of their political careers, a Trumpian wrath is the last thing a Republican Senator needs if he or she are facing re-election in 2022.  Also those thinking about running in 2024 will not want to be seen as knifing the former President after he leaves office, if he is found guilty Trump will never be allowed to run for public office again.  In a odd way it might suit the Democrats to have Trump on the ticket next time, of course that depends if POTUS ( Biden ) runs again, the VP must be looking at 2024 as her chance to be come President.  The political cycle never ends in the US, thank goodness of the US Constitution. 

Winter of Peril - President Biden's Inaugural Speech - Biden Era

The White House: President Biden stated the following in his speech, " We will press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and possibility.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden inaugural address called for UNITY, but for a US President, its problems from abroad that can define a Presidency, just ask Jimmy Carter with Iran and Afghanistan, and even President Obama with his red lines over Syria.  The TV cameras showed one can assume Bill Clinton falling asleep, okay the speech was not up there with JFK, Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama, but it was a decent enough speech.   Even President Obama seem to close his eyes, it could have been the weather. This blog did not watch the Inaugural live, it has watched every such event since 1981, the blogger expected a boring speech and event, and thank goodness it turned out to be that.  The Times of LONDON reported in its hard print version that the North Koreans could test the new Administration with a test of its missile from a sub.  One the one hand the people of North Korea are starving, but the regime is testing sub launch missiles, then Iran will demand that the US lifts some of its sanctions before it goes back to the Obama Iran deal.  As stated by this blog, the Biden Administration will appease Iran, Israel must keep a careful eye on Tehran, if POTUS will not secure the security of Israel then Israel must.  As a wise old UK PM once said to a junior Minister ( there were all men then ) when a junior minister asked what could go wrong, " Events boy, Events ".   Thus the Biden Administration will be challenged from abroad, that could define the Biden Era.
