US President Biden talks to Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

The White House: Has readout of a telephone call between POTUS and the President of Ukraine, " President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., spoke today with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine. He expressed his condemnation of Russia’s missile strikes across Ukraine, including in Kyiv, and conveyed his condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured in these senseless attacks.  President Biden pledged to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems.  He also underscored his ongoing engagement with allies and partners to continue imposing costs on Russia, holding Russia accountable for its war crimes and atrocities, and providing Ukraine with security, economic, and humanitarian assistance.  "

Lets Get Real:

The most important part of the readout with the exception usual words of support, is the promise to keep the Ukraine update with advanced air defense system, this will help the Ukraine to take down cruise missile attacks from long distance Russian sites.  It will be interesting to see if the missile attacks carry on, it has been reported that one cruise missile costs six hundred million, not a cheap way to carry on a war.  As the new Russian Commander made his name with these tactics in Syria, one can expect more air attacks on the Ukraine, the Kremlin wants to make the Ukraine people pay for the success of their forces in the East and South.   Thus Biden has confirmed his past position, he is tied to the Ukraine, so cannot sellout the Ukraine, even if he wanted too, let's be honest who can trust him after Afghanistan, past US Presidents had promised support for Afghanistan, Biden the word of the US there, the Biden Oval needs to keep the Congress if it is to carry on with its support for the Ukraine, Trump candidates are not keen on supporting the Ukraine, they are following their leader on this policy, if the Republicans take one of the Chambers in the Congress, the funding of the WAR could be in danger! 

US President Biden condemns Russia over Missiles Attack in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

White House: Statement by President on the Russian Attacks on Ukraine Today, " The United States strongly condemns Russia’s missile strikes today across Ukraine, including in Kyiv. These attacks killed and injured civilians and destroyed targets with no military purpose. They once again demonstrate the utter brutality of Mr. Putin’s illegal war on the Ukrainian people.....These attacks only further reinforce our commitment to stand with the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes. Alongside our allies and partners, we will continue to impose costs on Russia for its aggression, hold Putin and Russia accountable for its atrocities and war crimes, and provide the support necessary for Ukrainian forces to defend their country and their freedom....We again call on Russia to end this unprovoked aggression immediately and remove its troops from Ukraine.  "

Lets Get Real:

The missile were fired from long distance, will the US allow the Ukraine to strike back with US Missiles, or has Putin gotten under the Biden skin and make him afraid to double down on the US support for the Ukraine.  The  Ukraine on the ground has been doing well, it has pushed the Russians back, the bridge attack in the Crimea helped the spirits of the people of the Ukraine and its supporters.  The problem is WINTER is coming soon, that will freeze the Ukraine and Russian Forces in place, the Ukraine should use this time to give some of its troops some rest but also be ready for a Russian Counter - offensive, also it should consider moving to push the Russians back to their actual borders, the Crimea was given to the Ukraine by a previous Soviet Leader, and therefore is part of Crimea, whatever the Kremlin thinks.  The Russians have shown they are WAR CRIMINALS with their invasion of Ukraine and the WAR CRIMES committed by their troops, and today's actions have shown that Russia has to be seen to be defeated or they will try this somewhere else, that could risk World War 3.

 

Infrastructure hit in the Ukraine by Missile Strikes - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 1.58pm post, " 

Four Ukrainian regions have no electricity....

As we reported earlier, a wave of coordinated Russian missile strikes targeted energy infrastructure ....four regions are without power: Lviv, Poltava, Sumy and Ternopil  "

Lets Get Real:

If this blog was a Russian Commander and ruthless as hell, and did not care about human lives, it would hit the infrastructure of Ukraine, try to stop its energy, thus cut power to homes in the regions, cut water supply, prevent foot getting about.  Putin is ruthless, and a mass killer, the West should have STOPPED him when he went on his killing spree in the UK, we allowed to spies to get away with killing people using radiation and other WMD elements in his arsenal.  Putin knows that he has to WIN in the Ukraine or his grip on power would come to an end, the Ukrainian people understand, they have to win, or they will no longer have nation.  The Russians produced school books that wrote Ukraine off the map, they want to make the completely absorb the Ukraine, destroy their culture.  The people of the Ukraine have to fight to the last man, otherwise they are finished. 

Putin's revenge for Crimea Bridge Attack - Update - Ukraine Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 1.40pm post, " Russia has carried out a large wave of missile strikes on cities across Ukraine. Ukraine's air force says 83 missiles were launched, of which more than 43 were shot down.....Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened a "harsh" response, should attempts to "carry out terrorist attacks" on Russia continue  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russian Bear is in a tight spot, the Kyiv Government had a succese, although they deny it was them, who bought down Putin's bridge in the Crimea.  Putin has to show his hawks; they does not seem to be any doves in the Kremlin; that he is tough enough when it comes to the Ukraine.  The hawks, well those on Russian TV, want to go nuclear, so Putin has done the above, awave of cruise missile strikes on the Ukraine.  This will enforce the view in the Ukraine, they have to win, a losing WAR could lead to the end of the Ukraine, if Putin falls, then Russian just gets a new leader, who could be worse that Putin.  The Biden Oval is afraid of another Cuban missile crisis when it comes to the Ukraine, the US President has allowed Putin to get under his skin, thus will he try to pause the actions of the Ukraine, stop them pushing the Russians back, Biden is no JFK, and the Kyiv Governemnt would be on the news channels 24/7 if Biden tried to sell them out.  Thus what is the OUT, that is the big question, and no one has come with a good answer yet, that keeps the Ukraine united and gets the Russians the hell out of the Ukraine, and that includes the Crimea. 

The OTHER Crisis, Not Ukraine, Not Iran but North Korea - Biden Era

CNN - Reports " North Korea fires suspected ballistic missile, Japan says....The Japan Coast Guard reported the possible ballistic missile from North Korea appears to have already fallen.  "

Lets Get Real:

North Korea has form on this, they are making a point, they see all the attention that North Korea and Iran is getting, and want some reaction out of the Biden Oval.  It has to be stated to be fair to President Biden, he has tried to communicate with North Korea, and thus far no reaction, there is also the fear that North Korea will have another nuclear test, that will force the US and its allies to place more sanctions on North Korea, there are not that many leaves to pull, the Russians and the Ukraine are under most of the sanctions going.  The question what does North Korea want, they will not give up their nuclear weapons, they have seen what happened to the Ukraine when it gave up its Cold War nukes in the 1990s, they get invaded by Russia.  The US major concern is that the NK will have the ability to place a nuclear warhead on to a missile and this could allow them to target the US, if that happens, President Biden will have to do something, he makes threats, let's see if he carries them out, IF I was tyrant, this blog would not be afraid of the Biden Oval after Afghanistan and his low poll numbers. 

Do the Nuclear dots connect ? = Tactical Nuclear Missile - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.21pm post the following, " 

Russia orders partial evacuation of civilians in annexed Ukraine....

An official in one of four Russia-annexed regions in Ukraine has announced a partial evacuation of civilians.  "

Lets Get Real:

The nuclear dots start to add up, the Russian Nuclear Train is on the way to the Ukraine border it has been alleged, the Kremlin keeps going on with its threats to use tactical nuclear weapons, there is a new Commander in charge, and now the poor people stuck in the annexed part of the Ukraine will be removed.  This should get the NSA and CIA on the US side, and MI6 and GCHQ to be working night and say to keep up with the latest Russian moves.  The Biden Oval is right to be concerned, this could be Cuba, 1962 again, but this time there is no off ramp. the Biden Oval cannot sell out the Ukraine, as JFK did with Turkey in 62, and another Munich 1938 is OUT.  Thus President Biden will have to find his inner Reagan and stand with the Ukraine, whatever the Russians do, and the Russians could be playing hardball with the West.  The next few days and weeks could be very tense. 

Kremlin Appoints NEW GENERAL for the Ukraine War - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.22pm post the following, " Russia appoints new general to lead Ukraine offensive after setbacks....Russia's Ministry of Defence has named General Sergei Surovikin as the new commander of its troops fighting in Ukraine  "

Lets Get Real:

One can almost feel sorry for the General, what a time to get a new job, the US President has stated in a off the cuff manner that the West is back to 1962 and the Cuban Missile Crisis with the War in the Ukraine, and the bridge that connects Russia to the Crimea has been blow up either by Ukraine Special Forces or by a missile.  One can postulate that the Putin might be ready to drop the TACTICAL Nuclear Missile on the Ukraine, and to be effective it would take more than just one.  The Russian Nuclear train is moving to the direction of the Ukraine, to the border, while the hawks in Russia want the Kremlin to go full nuclear on the Ukraine.   The Russian troops who are running away from their military positions must think that Putin could be ready to drop the BOMB on them without warning, and even if they were warned it does not look they have the hazmats suits to wear.  The question that everyone asks, how does this end, does Putin want a out of this WAR, or will he go full nuclear, let's recall he has sent his daughter to Siberia, she is in a nuclear bunker.  Also there are rumours that Putin is very ill, he might not care if the World goes nuclear, interesting notion.  One hopes the WINTER comes soon, as to freeze the Ukraine and Russian Forces in position, and saner minds take control in Moscow.
