Titanic Sub Update Part 2 - The Titanic Story

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.16pm post the following, " More sounds heard in search area....Capt Frederick says it is his understanding the Canadian P-3 aircraft heard some noises today as well...it is very tough to discern what the noises are.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Titan has about 20 hours of oxygen left, the noises could be from the Titanic itself its rusty down there and it is being eaten by deep sea creatures.  It is estimated that the air on the Titan will run out at 9.00am UK time ( Updated from Sky News - 12.08pm, ) of course one hopes for the best and that the crew and passengers are alive and well.  That is the hope, after 9am ( 12.08pm ) tomorrow the clock will start to look at how long it is a rescue mission and then a recovery mission to to get the Titan up and those that might have perished.  Of course keeping hope, but the Titan sub might never be found, it might take years, there will be other dives on the Titanic, they might find it, then what!! One prays for the passengers and crew of the sub and their families, but one has to be real.  

Titanic Sub Update - The Titanic Story

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6pm post the following, " 

US Coast Guard: 'Search efforts not yielded any results' as around '40hrs' of oxygen left  "

Lets Get Real:

One still has hope that the Titan will be found with the passengers and crew safe.  The tone of the coverage has moved to the more realistic, they sub has only 41 hours of air left, and finding it will be down to luck, also how do they bring it up, what I DO NOT want to hear from the Americans is the term unified command, it shows that the Americans want to someone else to get the blame if this turns in to a tragedy.  One has to say it, it does not look good, and what point to the various ships just give up, if the passengers and crew run out of air, do the ships stay, its costs to have the ships out there, does the UN ban any more trips, in less for science or to pick up the artefacts still out there, does the UN have that authority is a open question, and who would enforce it.   This blog hopes for the best, but one must always tell truth in this blog, it looks like you can add 5 more to the Titanic death ledger.  

Hunter Biden CHARGED with Federal Tax Charges and having a gun - 2024 Candidate/Presidential Electi

BBC News:  Reports " Hunter Biden to plead guilty to tax crimes and admit gun offence....US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, is expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanour tax crimes and admit to illegally possessing a gun while a drug user, after a five-year investigation.  "

Lets Get Real:

The left and right have already taken sides, the CNN anchors downplayed the story at the start, in till they were reminded, that this is the first time a son of a President has been charged with breaking federal law.  The Republicans have stated that this a soft deal for Hunter, while the Democrats say that Hunter has been honest about his past taking of drugs.  POTUS and the first lady support their son.  The fact that the parties taking sides shows how broken American society is, the Republicans have alleged that Hunter and POTUS have done done bribery when Biden was VP to President Obama.  They also stated that Hillary Clinton was not charged over her classified documents that was on her laptop.  While the Biden Department of Justice is going after Trump over his handling of classified documents, this blog expects that POTUS will be cleared of his handling of classified files.  American society needs equal justice or failure will be a nail in the coffin of American Democracy. 

It was bound to happen, Titanic Sub missing - The Titanic Story

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.30pm post the following, " Welcome to our live coverage as a search operation is under way for a tourist submarine which has gone missing off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada, during a trip to view the wreck of the Titanic.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can pray that the Sub is found safely with the crew and passengers on board, but one has to think of a tragic outcome, the Titanic is three miles down and it almost a norm of people visiting the Wreck after it was found in the 1980s and the Box Office smash film of the same name.   That it has become the norm, is the problem, its a burial site after all, some things are best left alone.  If a tragedy has occurred it is  a remainder of the myth of the Titanic, a ship that could not sink and was sank by an iceberg in 1912, 1,500 lives lost to the ice waters of the Atlantic. 

14 New Tanks for the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.50pm the following post, " 

Allies to send 14 more Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine - reports....

Allies will send 14 more Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine, Handelsblatt business daily reported.....It cited NATO sources saying Denmark and the Netherlands would finance the German-made vehicles.  "

Lets Get Real: 

The Ukraine offensive has started, it is making small gains along the way, the fact that the Russians blew up a dam has not greatly stopped the offensive, the NATO must keep supporting the Ukraine, its cheaper than in putting in their own men and it allow NATO to test hour their military kit.  There is no argument that the Russians have the manpower but they do not have up to date military kit, this is shown by their weakness and the use of mercenaries, the food supply for the Ukraine and Africa is the worry, with the the Dam blown, will the people of the Ukraine be able to feed themselves, and what about Africa.  This will be a long war of attrition, the West cannot afford to lose, and Russia is the same, if the Ukraine lose they lose their freedom and Country and NATO would face a major setback, while if Russia loses it would be the end of Putin and could cause Russia to break up! 

President Trump in Federal Court - 2024 Candidate/Presidential Election

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.04pm post the following, " Donald Trump pleads not guilty to all 37 charges....As expected, Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges in his 37-count indictment.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Donald Trump Legal team when it is finally formed, will make sure that this case goes slower than a worm in a 100 meters dash.  They will want to make sure that the case will not finally start in till 2025.   Thus Trump can carry on with his so far successful attempt to be the Republican Nominee for President in 2024.  The case on the legal front looks hard to beat, Trump has shown brazen discard for the national security of the US, why he kept the files will be discussed for ages, it is a given that the thinks he owns them, in this he is following LBJ, President Johnson on his way home after the swearing in of Richard Nixon demanded that everything on Air Force One that was connected to him, was taken off and sent to his Library.  Presidents tend to have ego, you need one for the job. Thus the Trump vs the US will carry on for months.  

The Ukraine Offensive Update - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.14pm post the following, " 

Ukraine now claims to have taken a total of seven settlements in counteroffensive....

Ukrainian forces have recaptured more settlements, bringing the total number reclaimed since the beginning of last week's counteroffensive to seven, Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar says....The push is Ukraine's most rapid advance for seven months. "

Lets Get Real:

It will taken weeks and months to see if the Ukraine offensive has been successful, the retaking of seven villages is good, one question if anyone is still there, also the Russians have shown how ruthless they can be by destroying a Dam, that effect of that will also take days and weeks to see.  One assumes the US Defence Department and the UK's MOD are helping the Kyiv Government with intelligence on the weak points in the Russian defensive line.  Thus the NSA and the UK's GCHQ will be listening to the Russians, just in case they go nuclear out of fear of losing the War.  Putin Kremlin has shown it does not care about the people of the Ukraine by its WAR CRIMES, but also not care about the Russians who will suffer due the Dam being destroyed.   This could be1918 when the Allies offensive forced the Germans to sue for peace, of course then the US was in the War, will US military kit have the same results, we shall see in the future.
