UK SENDS Anti Tank Missiles to the Ukraine - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Britain is supplying Ukraine with short-range anti-tank missiles for self-defence after Russia amassed about 100,000 troops on its border, the defence secretary said.  "

Lets Get Real:

At last a power is doing something, small fry in the big picture, but it sends a message to the KREMLIN, the UK is NOW on the ground, the Russians would never dare strike UK Forces, as this would bring in NATO. The UK could not send tanks are they are not working at the moment!  The new German Foreign Minister is going to the Kremlin today, let's hope that Germany keeps to the Western line, that it will not say NO to the Ukraine becoming part of NATO and it will not withdraw NATO troops and equipment from Eastern Europe States that have joined NATO since 1997.  The Russians have blocked themselves in, the West has offered talks on other aspects but the Russian are not biting.  After the West gives its formal reply, what will Russia do, invade or do more diplomacy, that is open to question. 

Russian - Ukraine Tensions - Update 2 - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Russia moves troops to Belarus for joint exercises near Ukraine border...Move likely to stoke invasion fears as war games also planned near borders of Nato members Poland and Lithuania  "

Lets Get Real:

One has to assume that Putin is bluffing, any ATTACK on a NATO Country would invoke Article 5, a attack on one is a attack on ALL.  That mean WORLD WAR 3.  One assumes Putin is doing this to remind the Biden Oval that the Russian have a lot of targets, if so its a VERY bad mistake.  After Afghanistan Biden cannot afford to be seen as WEAK as in relationship to the Russians.  If Putin wants to play hardball the Biden Oval should send in US troops to protect the West of the Ukraine and draw a line between the West and the East.  As stated in previous post the West is waiting for some kind of action by Putin, he in reverse might be waiting for a FORMAL HELL NO from NATO to the Russians demands, that the Ukraine never becomes part of NATO and that the Eastern Nato States will remove their NATO TROOPS and equipment.  PUTIN must know he can only go so far, of course the question ha to be asked, has he gone CRAZY and has started to believe his own PR, that would be a major worry.  The German Foreign Minister is seeing the Russian tomorrow, one hopes that the German will be CLEAR to the Kremlin, an attack on the Ukraine could lead to the cut off their new gas pipeline, whatever the COSTS to the West.   This would hurt Russia and the economic sanctions will be hard for the Russian people to cope with, even the rich ones, Putin's friends.

Russia - Ukraine Tensions - Update - Biden Era

Let Gets Real:

Thus thig blog was WRONG, no Russian invasion of the Ukraine last weekend, WHY? what is the game Putin is playing,  is he waiting for his false flag operatives to strike, or is he waiting for a FORMAL NO from NATO?  The Ukraine should be on ALERT!  Also NATO, no one is sure what the Putin response could be, might he threaten the Baltic States, Finland, Sweden, Putin will want to be seen as a WINNER, it seems his polls are down and the Russian people are not out in the streets in the support for war as one reported stated, they were in 2014, has the Russian Teflon finally gone from Putin? The lack of something happening is worrisome, what doe it take to frighten Putin, everyone has a WEAK POINT, that is the 64 million dollar question. 

US on Russia and the Ukraine - Update 2 - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Russia looking for excuse to invade Ukraine' - but US insists week of diplomacy has not failed...To try to, through sabotage operations, through false flag operations, through blaming the other guy, to create that pretext, to give an excuse to go in, or to make it look like the Ukrainians were the aggressors..." the US Under-Secretary of State, Victoria Nuland, tells Sky News. "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Oval if it was smart and not risk averse would send in the 101st airborne, on a surprise New Year military exercise with the Ukraine Forces, this would STOP Putin in his tracks, eve Putin does not want to take on US Forces or NATO forces.  The Russian Bear will back off he knows that he will get his backside kicked and it would be a humiliation for the Kremlin.  Unfortunately Biden is no Ronald Reagan, after losing nearly 240+ US Armed Forces Personnel in Beirut due to a terrorist bombing, the Gipper invaded Grenada to stop a Marxist Coup, that took guts and Reagan was seen as tough by the rest of the World, one does not see Biden doing something to prevent WAR.  The US needs a NEW REAGAN, while the UK needs another Churchill or Thatcher.

Russians creating PRETEXT to invade the Ukraine - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Russia-Ukraine: US warns of 'false-flag' operation "

Lets Get Real:

President Putin is following the Hitler playbook, in 1939 Hitler had prisoners dressed up as Polish Soldiers and had them attack a German asset, the " attackers " were all killed, it suited Nazi Germany to go with this story.  It should also be recalled that the Nazis and USSR singed a non aggression pact in August of 39.   Thus after the Nazi attack on Poland, Germany had the half it wanted while the USSR had the rest.  It can be argued that Putin is a keen student of Hitler.  The WEST must stop this invasion, HARSH words are good, but there has to be a military line that Putin does not cross, otherwise the Europe, the World in fact could be on the road to World War 3, what next for Putin after the Ukraine, the Baltic States, Poland.  As Munich 1938 has showed it is better to stop tyrants before they go for ALL OUT WAR.

Senator Kyrsten Sinema supports the Filibuster - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.45pm post the following, " Kyrsten Sinema has indicated – or simply confirmed – that Democrats’ push to change Senate rules to allow for the passage of voting rights legislation is indeed doomed.  "

Lets Get Real:

One has to respect Senator Sinema she has stuck to her guns, she must be the grown up the Democratic Group, also it should be noted that Senator Manchin has stuck to his guns and refused to cut the legs of the Democrats in they are in the minority after the MID TERMS in November.  The Democratic Leadership from Biden DOWN are afraid of the base, the Democratic base is FAR LEFT, the Country is in the MIDDLE or MIDDLE RIGHT, the left with their spending money like a drunken sailor and thinking that their voters are the same as MIDDLE AMERICA, they are not, and Senator Sinema understands that more than the leadership, let's postulate that the Republicans take the House and Senate, the first people to use the filibuster will be the Democrats, and they can do that because of Sinema and Manchin have thought through the process.   Democracy is more than what your base wants at that minute, the Country comes first.  So hat off to these two brave SENATORS.

The Russian BLACKMAIL Part 2 over the Ukraine - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in televised remarks that he would 'neither confirm nor exclude' the possibility that Russia could send military assets to Cuba and Venezuela if the talks fail and U.S. pressure on Russia mounts.  "

Lets Get Real:

If the Russians places nuclear missiles in Cuba they will be breaking the 1962 agreement between Presidents Kennedy and Chairman Khrushchev that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis, any placement of nuclear missiles in Cuba could lead to a new Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Biden Oval cannot sell out the Turks this time as JFK did in 1962 under a secret agreement between the US and Russia.   The question is how far IS Putin willing to go and how far will Biden go to STOP HIM.  It can be postulated that IF Putin takes the East Ukraine but leaves the rest that might be enough to prevent a greater WAR, but if he goes for the WHOLE of the Ukraine, then ALL BETS ARE OFF, the US will supply military resources to the Kiev Government, very much like the US did in the 1980s to the fighters in Afghanistan.  This is hard lesson for history, if you have nuclear weapons don't give them as the Ukraine did in the 1990s.  Also it should be noted that Colonel Gaddafi after 9/11 gave up his nuclear materials to the US and looked what happened to him, overthrown by NATO.  Also this is why North Korea will never give up its nuclear missiles, the Regime is safe, the US or others will never attack a nuclear armed State, that is why Iran wants to become a nuclear armed power.  Thus a very frost few weeks ahead.
