Is Kherson about to FALL to UKRAINE Forces - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.15pm post the following, " Russia will help residents leave Moscow-occupied Ukrainian region of Kherson....Russia said today it will help residents leave the Moscow-occupied Ukrainian region of Kherson after a plea from a Kremlin-backed official, AFP reports.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Ukrainian push could be placing pressure on Russian Forces, Kherson was one of the first cities the Russians took after their invasion in February.   The lack of manpower in Russia is shown by the partial call up, and the anger it has set lose, it has been estimated that three hundred thousand mostly men have left the Country rather than be sent to the Ukraine to fight and die.  Also it has been reported that the Russians are low on ammunition and other military kit.  The Kremlin has even taken drones from Iran, that must be a come down for Putin.  Of course there could be other reasons, as stated in my nuclear dots post, if the Kremlin wants to use a tactical nuke, it would be better to get its troops and people out, the Kremlin dos not want to kill its own Forces and supporters.  The escalation by Russia is down to the hawks in the Kremlin, who want Putin to go further, they are calling for a tactical nuclear attack, Putin has been warned of the Western reaction, let's hope he has taken notice. 

Will the Mini Budget be Scrapped ? - Liz Truss Era/After Boris

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 3.08pm post, " Cabinet minister refuses to answer questions on budget U-turns....Chloe Smith, the work and pensions secretary, has declined to answer questions on possible further U-turns on the government's mini-budget.  "

Lets Get Real:

The dream might have died, a real Conservative Budget could be binned, the City, has decided that the sums do not add up, thus the price of Government bonds are going up, why we trust the City after the near economic collapse during PM Gordon Brown's time in office, is any ones guess.  The World is suffering from post COVID - 19 lockdown, but more important is the WAR in the Ukraine, the Western sanctions on Russia and on its GAS means that the price of OIL and GAS is going up, inflation in the US is now at 8.2, that means interest rates will have to go up, they were far to low for YEARS, people have gotten used to an easy life, and low mortgagee, that time has come to an end, people must be more careful with their money, the Government should CUT WELFARE, try saying that NOW, the UK's furlough has cost hundred of billions, and the cap on energy prices for two years just adds to the national debt.  The West must act in unison, even the EU, otherwise the people of the West will suffer.  

Air Raid Sirens in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.40pm post the following, " Reports of air raid sirens across Ukraine...It isn't clear at this stage what the sirens relate to.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be postulated that the Russians are going for daily cruise missile bombing of the structures of the Ukraine, they want to wear the people down, make the Ukraine ask for a TRUCE, and thus prevent the Army of the Ukraine pushing the Russians out in the East and South.  One doubts that that the Russians will drop the BOMB, without some warning and a threat.  Thus the civic society has to protect their electric lines, water lines, and other important areas.  In recent days four areas in the Ukraine did not have power, in the coming WINTER that could be important, the people will need for their to be power as to heat themeseleves and their homes.  One does wonder how many cruise missiles the Russians have, if the Ukraine Air Defence only hits half down that still leaves a lot of damage.  The West is promising more air defences, one hopes they get to KYIV in time.  It could be a COLD WINTER, the Ukraine and Russians Forces will be stuck in position, till the thaw comes. 

NATO ready for Russian THREATS - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.17pm post the following, " 

NATO chief says alliance is 'closely monitoring' Russia's nuclear forces.....

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said the defence alliance are "closely monitoring" Russia's nuclear forces and a deliberate attack on the critical infrastructure of allies will be met with a "united and determined response.....Mr Stoltenberg also said Ukraine had the "momentum" in the war while Russia was "increasingly resorting to horrific and indiscriminate attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure".  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians would be mad to attack the infrastructure of NATO Allies, the West would then have to take on the Russian Bear, escalation could lead to further nuclear escalation.  The FACT that the Ukrainian Army is pushing the Russians in the East and South could force Putin either to go for a tactical nuclear weapon or cut bait and take his troops out of the Ukraine back to the Crimea in the South.  Of course the Ukraine wants the Crimea back after Putin invaded the area in 2014.  NATO was created this prevent Russia taking over other Countries or to threaten smaller States around Russia.  The question has to be asked, does Putin get the fact that any nuclear attack on the Ukraine could bring a harsh NATO reaction or even NATO troops being sent in to the Ukraine, to kick the Russian Bear out of the Ukraine, once and for all.  One does hope Putin is SANE, and just acting for the cameras when he talks about NUCLEAR WAR. 

Russian response to more US Military Aid for the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 1.30pm post. " ..Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov .....(has )...also criticised US promises to supply advanced air defence systems to Ukraine, saying this would only extend the conflict and inflict more pain for Ukraine, according to Reuters, which reported on his comments.  "

Lets Get Real:

In a 2nd wave of attacks on the Ukraine, the Russians are hitting infrastructure, they want to prevent the people of the Ukraine getting heat in winter, light during the winter darkness.  The Russians, well more to the point Putin knows he is on borrowed time, the Russian policy is even getting critical reaction on Russian News, of course the criticism is of the Army and not of Putin, the commentators do not want to fall from windows, that is the common fate of those that are critical of Putin or being sent to Siberia, if WW3 does come that would be the safest place to stay, that is were Putin has sent his daughter, for her own safety and to keep her off social media.  The West has to increase its defence equipment to the Ukraine, the Russians are on the back foot in the East and South of Ukraine, the pressure must be kept up, this is the chance for the Ukraine to defeat Russia, Winter is coming soon, and both forces could be stopped in their tracks on the battlefield while Russia can still use its cruise missiles, depending how much missiles they have left in store, they cost six hundred million a shot.  Time is running OUT for Putin.

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.
