Biden formally announces bid for re - election - 2024 Candidate/ Presidential Election 2024

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 129pm post the following, " What's in Biden's launch video?.....The very first image in Biden’s re-election video is of the US Capitol, shrouded in tear gas, under attack by Donald Trump supporters on 6 January 2021. The next is of an abortion rights protester at a rally outside the Supreme Court.....The message here, instead, seems to be: “Let’s finish Donald Trump and the Republicans”.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is like the Godfather 3, The sequel nobody wanted, so for the Democrats we will have an aged Joe Biden, and equal old Donald Trump, who has numerous legal problems, he has been charged in New York and  could face charges in Georgia, and at the Federal Level, and still he holds the Republicans by the throat, will no one really challenge him, there must be a charismatic  Republican out there, who can take the fight to the Donald.  One has to hope that Federal charges bring him down, and young fresh faced Republican comes along.  In the event of that happening the Democrats might think again, there must be other candidates to can come to the stage, NO ONE wants another 2020, as the Godfather says in Part 3 , " I thought I was out, bur they drag me back in again.  ". The US voter does not want a repeat of 2020. 

COBRA Meeting on Sudan - After Afghanistan

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.12pm post the following, " 

Another COBRA meeting to be held later this evening.....

five of these meetings had been chaired by Rishi Sunak, including one at 3.15am on Saturday.  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM should not listen to the FCO, they will slow pace the UK to do nothing and in that they will be followed by the US State Department, these Departments are run by Elites who never want to do anything. POTUS and the PM should act in firm manner and use the US Defence Department in the US and the MOD in the UK. 

The UK has already sent troops to Sudan to plan getting UK Citizens OUT, they have been showed up by the rest of Europe, other EU Countries have manged to get their people out, even the Irish have manged it, so why cant the UK, there is a simple answer the FCO should not be used, it was sending messages to the Sudan to UK Citizens but the internet is down there, so how are people meant to get the messages from the UK, how are people to be gotten out, the US might be slow, has the Biden Oval forgotten the lessons of Afghanistan, also Biden wants to announce his re-election bid on Tuesday, he does not need the fact that there are sixteen thousand citizens from the US in the Sudan and they might be needed to be gotten out.  Sudan could be another Afghanistan and another disaster for the US and the UK.

4,000 UK Subjects in the Sudan - Another Afghanistan ?

BBC News - Live blog: Reports the following, " The UK government has insisted it's doing all it can to help British nationals stuck in Sudan - after diplomats and their families were rescued yesterday.......Minister Andrew Mitchell says there are estimates of around 4,000 Britons in the country, but the number could be higher  "

Lets Get Real:

IF this blog was a US  or UK citizen it would not be happy, it has been reported there are sixteen thousand US Citizens in Sudan, the US State Department has made it clear that there will be no Cavalry coming to the rescue, the FCO will do nothing.  It seems that POTUS is doing another Afghanistan, that is why POTUS is seen as weak, and why his approval ratings are in the toilet, anything really risky and he is hiding under his desk, to think that JFK and Ronald Reagan had that desk, Biden is following the Obama foreign policy failure route, he thinks that he can leave Americans behind and there is no political comeback.   At least POTUS is supporting the Ukraine in its War with the Russia, the Republicans on the whole are supporting the Trump Isolation policy.  This is how powers fade, just look at the example of the British Empire, we could be leading to the hegemony of China in the 21st Century as long as they do not invade Taiwan. 

The 2024 Race - 2024 Candidates/ 2024 Presidential Election

The Hill: Reports  " Majorities don’t want Biden, Trump to run in 2024: survey "

Lets Get Real:

The idea of a Biden - Trump rematch does make this blog depressed, in 2016 and 2020 and 2022 this blog supported the Democrats, its natural vote is for the Conservatives, after Afghanistan it has become an indifferent Conservative supporter and does not want to support Biden in 2024, at present Biden is supporting the Ukraine and so is this blog, the worry is that Trump could win and withdraw US support and thus the West would also, and Putin would win, that could lead to WW3 in the future, Putin will try his luck with the Baltic States and then Poland.  The US has a population of over 330 million, if you exclude those that are to young, or in prison or the mad house, there must be other candidates out here who would do better in the Oval Office, there must be charismatic Democratic or Republican who can take the fight to Biden and Trump, the American people deserve that at least. 

UK Diplomats taken out of the Sudan - Another Afghanistan ?

BBC News: Reports "  Sudan violence: UK diplomats evacuated from Khartoum  "

Lets Get Real: 

This is Afghanistan all over again, the diplomats are taken out, good work by the Armed Forces as usual,  but the people are left to get shot, it seems that there are sixteen thousand Americans in Country, and there are many UK citizens also, the FCO as usual does nothing, its typical of the FCO viewpoint, do not get involved in the affairs of other Countries, and slow walk the process in till the press lose interest.  If you had left the Falklands to the FCO they would have handed the Islands over to the invading force.  The UK and the US should send in a peace keeping force, with a simple order, if you are fired upon taken them out, does no one recall Gordon of Khartoum ( see the film), a US and UK passport should mean something in these kind of incidents.  One suspects that POTUS and PM Sunak do not have the guts to bring peace to the Sudan, POTUS is expected to announce  on Tuesday that he is running in 2024.

US to TRAIN Ukraine Tank crews on US Tanks - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports in its 1.35pm post, the following. " US to begin Abrams tanks training for Ukrainian forces.....The US will begin training Ukrainian forces to use and maintain Abrams tanks in the coming weeks. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a signal one would presume that the planned Ukraine offensive against the Russian Amy will take a few weeks to get started, the new tanks from the West and older Soviet Fighter jets from the former Warsaw Pact Countries will help but the new tanks from the US will have a bigger punch.  Thus far Moscow has been quiet about the move, one can expect them to say that the Western Forces military kit will extend the WAR in the Ukraine.   When the Ukraine offensive comes it should need to push the Russians back to the Crimea, if that is successful then the  West will need to have discussions about the future of the Crimea, the West might suggest that the UN might take over the place, thus keeping from Russian hands, they will not like that, but then the West will have won and can write the peace terms.   At all costs we must prevent WW3 happening over the Crimea. 

Hunter Biden's Tax Problem - The Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Hunter Biden tax probe improperly handled - whistleblower...A US tax special agent has information about how a criminal investigation into the son of US President Joe Biden has been hampered by "political considerations", says his lawyer.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Campaign for 2024 need above like a hole in the shoe, the Biden Oval has delayed its intention to run 2024, while Trump and others are running for the Republican nomination.  If the Biden Oval does not know how the investigation of his son is going then its clueless  and should not run in 2024, if the President's son is charged with tax fraud, it really hurts the Biden Oval, will he Pardon his son if he tried and found guilty, will the LIBERAL media cover the story, it was on NBC last night.  It will be curious to see if the uber liberal CNN covers the story, they are still obsessed with the Fox News story, they hate Trump and Fox so much they have lost the plot. CNN in its heyday was great, it was the channel of choice for news, not anymore.
