US to Escort tankers through Strait of Hormuz - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.42pm post that the US will escort tankers through the Strait Hormuz.

Let's Get Real:

This is Ironic, as Trump as a private citizen in the late 1980s was critical of Reagan's convoy of tankers during the Iraq- Iran WAR, if this blog recalls he took advert out in the New York Times! The fates do have a sense of humour sometimes, even during War

Starmer is no Churchill - Update

 BBC News: Reports in its 5.09pm post" This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with,' Trump says of Starmer,  " 

Let's Get Real:

This blog has never been so embarrassed by a UK PM, he is an appeaser in the mold of Neville Chamberlain.  The UK PM always sticks with the American President, no matter what, the Great Churchill had to see FDR trying to be friendly with Stalin at Yalta.  Eden learned that the hard way over Suez.  The balance this we should consider that the Great Reagan was slow over the Falklands War in 1982, he supported the Right wing Regime in Argentina, he came around in the end.  Reagan invaded Grenada in 1983, without telling Thatcher, the Queen was head of State, Grenada had become another Cuba threat.  Things will strain sometimes, but it will recover with a new UK PM. Let's remember how close Tony Blair was to Bush 43, he is seen by those on the left as a War Criminal, but that is a minority view, at least Blair was loyal, Bush 43 offered him an out over the Iraq Invasion, Blair at the prospect of losing No 10, kept in with Bush 43, that is loyalty even at being pushed out of office in 2007.

Strait of Hormuz Closed by Iran - Update

Fox News: Reports " Iran claims Strait of Hormuz closed despite US destroying 11 ships "

Let's Get Real:

As the article notes this is FAKE NEWS from Iran, the Tehran Regime can not afford to close the Strait of Hormuz, how would they get their own oil out.  There are risks in War, fake news can be the worse, it send oil prices through the roof, the US Navy has two aircraft carriers in the Region, they can keep the Strait open no matter what Iran does.

Six American Soldiers Killed in Iran War - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Six American soldiers have been killed by Iran's retaliatory strikes after the US and Israel killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei over the weekend. "

Let's Get Real:

The President has been honest about the coming deaths, War is a bloody event, you cannot control outcomes, at least the Soldiers died in service of their Country.  A Noble Death.  The Democrats want failure, let's hope they lose in November, the American voter does not want to lose whatever they say IN polls.  The failure of the departure from Afghanistan showed that the people are fickle, they might not want to approve of the War, but the want the Troops to win, and depart with Honour, when Biden failed in this his polls never recovered, whatever you think of Trump you want the US to be successful not Iran.

American Soldier killed in Action - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.28pm post thar another US Soldier has been killed.

Let's Get Real:

President Trump has been honest about this, there will be casualties, a lot more.  WAR is hell, there have been friendly fire incidents, 6 piolts had to bail out, they are secure the US Defence Department has stared.  Israel has attacked Hezbollah in Lebanon after they fired at Israel, US and Israel have to win this WAR, for the safety of the World.


Democrats in Trouble over Iran - Update

Guardian: Repots the Following, " Democrats thrown into disarray as US offensive on Iran creates cracks  " 

Let's Get Real:

This is a very fair article from the left wing Guardian, Moderate Democrats might sink any invoking the War Powers Act of 1973, its the left of the Party who are pushing this move.  The American voters like to support their troops in ACTION, even if the LEFT do not.

Escalation by Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 10.37am post, "  Iran's actions a 'dangerous escalation' - US and allied Gulf states " 

Let's Get Real:

The Iranian theocracy is lashing out, the Gulf States are being hit again.  The Regime won't talk to Trump and Israel, it is matter of survival for them, Trump is offering Immunity but the poor people of Iran, might want to hang the theocracy, the war will become more bloody.
