Reagan and Gorbachev's INF Treaty - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " President Donald Trump said Saturday that he intends to withdraw the US from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, citing Russia's violations of the treaty and China's missile arsenal as reasons for ditching the accord.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians have been wanting to get out of the INF Treaty for years, this break with the Treaty by the USA will go down well with Putin's Russia.  Former President Gorbachev has come out against the move, one does wonder what the late President Ronald Reagan would have thought, it can could be argued that Reagan would have supported Trump, when he was a candidate he opposed other deals made by US Presidents and the then USSR.  As Putin's Russia has been cheating for YEARS.   The mainstream liberal press will not be happy, it does show that Trump can be tough on Russia, that is good before the November Mid Tems.

PM May and the House of Commons - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports on what the  PM said in the House of Commons, " the PM said: "There are some limited circumstances in which it could be argued that an extension to the implementation period might be preferable, if we were certain it was only for a short time.  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM will be interested to read the papers tomorrow, will they support her or back a new leader.   The UK voter just wants the EU finished with, it's going on for months.   If the extension gets us out of Europe and gets a deal with EU then it is worth thinking about.  The question is the cost, how many more billions will it cost the UK.  On Wednesday the PM faces the 1922 Committee, will they support her or will the Party need a new leader by Christmas.  Interesting few hours and days for the PM. 

PM May in the House of Commons - Brexit Update - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Theresa May has said she is prepared to "explore every possible option" to break the deadlock in Brexit talks.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the PM says 95% of the withdrawal agreement is agree, the sticking point is the other 5%, and that is Northern Ireland.  The PM will face the 1922 Committee on Wednesday, that could be the point that the PM find her time is up, she needs her MPs to keep their nerve, but she has being saying that for ages, and we still do not have a deal with EU.   The PM has to make clear that she is a bloody difficult woman ( her own words ) and make it clear to her MPs she will fight for on, that it will take a vote to get rid of her and who else have they as a leader.    This COULD be a critical week for the PM. 

Rosa - Doctor Who Review

Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who: Rosa was watched by 6.39 million viewers, a share of 29.6% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial overnight figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a fine historical episode, alright it might have been a bit preachy, but that is not a BAD THING, the racism faced by African Americans in the 1950s should always be retold.  The HEROIC ACT of Rosa Parks showed the racism of the South and how it was backed up by illegal laws.  All the cast gave a great performance, there was a sci aspect, it is Doctor Who after all, but did not damage the point of the story.  This episode should be shown in Schools as a historical example of what happened and should show what TV can do, there is a reason to watch Sunday's again. 

The DUP and May's Brexit Plan - Brexit Update 4 - Post Brexit

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 9.28pm post the following, " While Theresa May’s position appears to have melted a little tonight, the DUP has not reacted positively to an extension of the transition period, not because they are ideologically opposed to that but because it does not address the issue of the border in the Irish sea, they say.  "

Lets Get Real:

As can be seen by the right wing papers they are opposed to an extension of the transition period, one can assume that members of the Cabinet will also be opposed to any more concessions.  The FACT is that the PM will face a CHOICE, sooner or later, there is only so much road let, will there be a deal or NO DEAL.   The PM should pick the no deal option.  Otherwise she might find that she is out of the office and out of power. 

Hard Brexit Supporters backlash to transition extension - Brexit Update 3 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " May faces furious backlash over claims she could extend Brexit transition for ANOTHER year after EU leaders dismiss her plea for compromise and DITCH plans for crunch summit to strike deal next month "

Lets Get Real:

Thus us news junkies could face another eight weeks of Brexit talks, if that does not send you to sleep nothing will.   The PM will need to keep her Cabinet together, find some kind of words that work for the Cabinet, the House of Commons, the EU and the Republic of Ireland.   The two sides want different things, the EU wants to punish the UK for leaving their beloved EU while the UK wants the benefits of the EU while not being in the EU.   One would think that the highly paid diplomats would have gotten some idea on how to do this,  after all this is THEIR job.   As stated the blog wants the PM to pull the plug on the EU, why is she keeping trying, there is no good solution. 

No EU Summit in November - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports via Twitter in its 9.48pm post the following, " NEW: EU Source: “not enough progress”... “For now EU27 is not planning to organise an extraordinary summit on Brexit in November” "

Lets Get Real:

From Sky News reporting it seems we are heading for a Summit in December, as the EU Brexit team needs more than just a couple of weeks. This is the EU and the UK pushing the problem down the road in till the New Year. Those in Parliament will think that they are being pushed to agree to any agreement that comes down the road, there will be no time for real debate on the issues. Thus you can expect more problems for the UK Government when it comes to the HARD BREXIT SUPPORTERS and the HARD REMAINERS. These endless talks almost seem drive to drive you nuts!!!
