Infrastructure hit in the Ukraine by Missile Strikes - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 1.58pm post, " 

Four Ukrainian regions have no electricity....

As we reported earlier, a wave of coordinated Russian missile strikes targeted energy infrastructure ....four regions are without power: Lviv, Poltava, Sumy and Ternopil  "

Lets Get Real:

If this blog was a Russian Commander and ruthless as hell, and did not care about human lives, it would hit the infrastructure of Ukraine, try to stop its energy, thus cut power to homes in the regions, cut water supply, prevent foot getting about.  Putin is ruthless, and a mass killer, the West should have STOPPED him when he went on his killing spree in the UK, we allowed to spies to get away with killing people using radiation and other WMD elements in his arsenal.  Putin knows that he has to WIN in the Ukraine or his grip on power would come to an end, the Ukrainian people understand, they have to win, or they will no longer have nation.  The Russians produced school books that wrote Ukraine off the map, they want to make the completely absorb the Ukraine, destroy their culture.  The people of the Ukraine have to fight to the last man, otherwise they are finished. 

Putin's revenge for Crimea Bridge Attack - Update - Ukraine Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 1.40pm post, " Russia has carried out a large wave of missile strikes on cities across Ukraine. Ukraine's air force says 83 missiles were launched, of which more than 43 were shot down.....Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened a "harsh" response, should attempts to "carry out terrorist attacks" on Russia continue  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russian Bear is in a tight spot, the Kyiv Government had a succese, although they deny it was them, who bought down Putin's bridge in the Crimea.  Putin has to show his hawks; they does not seem to be any doves in the Kremlin; that he is tough enough when it comes to the Ukraine.  The hawks, well those on Russian TV, want to go nuclear, so Putin has done the above, awave of cruise missile strikes on the Ukraine.  This will enforce the view in the Ukraine, they have to win, a losing WAR could lead to the end of the Ukraine, if Putin falls, then Russian just gets a new leader, who could be worse that Putin.  The Biden Oval is afraid of another Cuban missile crisis when it comes to the Ukraine, the US President has allowed Putin to get under his skin, thus will he try to pause the actions of the Ukraine, stop them pushing the Russians back, Biden is no JFK, and the Kyiv Governemnt would be on the news channels 24/7 if Biden tried to sell them out.  Thus what is the OUT, that is the big question, and no one has come with a good answer yet, that keeps the Ukraine united and gets the Russians the hell out of the Ukraine, and that includes the Crimea. 

The OTHER Crisis, Not Ukraine, Not Iran but North Korea - Biden Era

CNN - Reports " North Korea fires suspected ballistic missile, Japan says....The Japan Coast Guard reported the possible ballistic missile from North Korea appears to have already fallen.  "

Lets Get Real:

North Korea has form on this, they are making a point, they see all the attention that North Korea and Iran is getting, and want some reaction out of the Biden Oval.  It has to be stated to be fair to President Biden, he has tried to communicate with North Korea, and thus far no reaction, there is also the fear that North Korea will have another nuclear test, that will force the US and its allies to place more sanctions on North Korea, there are not that many leaves to pull, the Russians and the Ukraine are under most of the sanctions going.  The question what does North Korea want, they will not give up their nuclear weapons, they have seen what happened to the Ukraine when it gave up its Cold War nukes in the 1990s, they get invaded by Russia.  The US major concern is that the NK will have the ability to place a nuclear warhead on to a missile and this could allow them to target the US, if that happens, President Biden will have to do something, he makes threats, let's see if he carries them out, IF I was tyrant, this blog would not be afraid of the Biden Oval after Afghanistan and his low poll numbers. 

Do the Nuclear dots connect ? = Tactical Nuclear Missile - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.21pm post the following, " 

Russia orders partial evacuation of civilians in annexed Ukraine....

An official in one of four Russia-annexed regions in Ukraine has announced a partial evacuation of civilians.  "

Lets Get Real:

The nuclear dots start to add up, the Russian Nuclear Train is on the way to the Ukraine border it has been alleged, the Kremlin keeps going on with its threats to use tactical nuclear weapons, there is a new Commander in charge, and now the poor people stuck in the annexed part of the Ukraine will be removed.  This should get the NSA and CIA on the US side, and MI6 and GCHQ to be working night and say to keep up with the latest Russian moves.  The Biden Oval is right to be concerned, this could be Cuba, 1962 again, but this time there is no off ramp. the Biden Oval cannot sell out the Ukraine, as JFK did with Turkey in 62, and another Munich 1938 is OUT.  Thus President Biden will have to find his inner Reagan and stand with the Ukraine, whatever the Russians do, and the Russians could be playing hardball with the West.  The next few days and weeks could be very tense. 

Kremlin Appoints NEW GENERAL for the Ukraine War - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.22pm post the following, " Russia appoints new general to lead Ukraine offensive after setbacks....Russia's Ministry of Defence has named General Sergei Surovikin as the new commander of its troops fighting in Ukraine  "

Lets Get Real:

One can almost feel sorry for the General, what a time to get a new job, the US President has stated in a off the cuff manner that the West is back to 1962 and the Cuban Missile Crisis with the War in the Ukraine, and the bridge that connects Russia to the Crimea has been blow up either by Ukraine Special Forces or by a missile.  One can postulate that the Putin might be ready to drop the TACTICAL Nuclear Missile on the Ukraine, and to be effective it would take more than just one.  The Russian Nuclear train is moving to the direction of the Ukraine, to the border, while the hawks in Russia want the Kremlin to go full nuclear on the Ukraine.   The Russian troops who are running away from their military positions must think that Putin could be ready to drop the BOMB on them without warning, and even if they were warned it does not look they have the hazmats suits to wear.  The question that everyone asks, how does this end, does Putin want a out of this WAR, or will he go full nuclear, let's recall he has sent his daughter to Siberia, she is in a nuclear bunker.  Also there are rumours that Putin is very ill, he might not care if the World goes nuclear, interesting notion.  One hopes the WINTER comes soon, as to freeze the Ukraine and Russian Forces in position, and saner minds take control in Moscow. 

OPEC+ BACKSTABS the US over Oil - Biden Era

The White House: Has a Statement by the White House on the decision of OPEC+ to reduce Oil in the system and thus increase prices, "  The President is disappointed by the shortsighted decision by OPEC+ to cut production quotas while the global economy is dealing with the continued negative impact of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. At a time when maintaining a global supply of energy is of paramount importance, this decision will have the most negative impact on lower- and middle-income countries that are already reeling from elevated energy prices......At the President’s direction, the Department of Energy will deliver another 10 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the market next month, continuing the historic releases the President ordered in March. The President will continue to direct SPR releases as appropriate to protect American consumers and promote energy security, and he is directing the Secretary of Energy to explore any additional responsible actions to continue increasing domestic production in the immediate term.....In light of today’s action, the Biden Administration will also consult with Congress on additional tools and authorities to reduce OPEC’s control over energy prices.....With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. is now poised to make the most significant investment ever in accelerating the clean energy transition while increasing energy security, by increasing our reliance on American-made and American-produced clean energy and energy technologies.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can assume that the Presidential visit to Saudi Arabia did not build bridges with the regime, that is what happens when you castgate its leader in your Presidential campaign, as Biden did in 2020 and then go and ask for a favour.  Less oil in the system, helps Russia with its fight with the West, Putin's Kremlin will be very happy, thus the Biden Oval will have to make sure that oil prices do not go up before the November Mid Terms, and also that Western Allies have enough power to prevent power cuts, in that case this would be Germany.  It could be a very cold winter in Europe.   Thus one can see the Putin strategy, weaken Europe through the Winter, force them to place pressure on Ukraine to give up areas to Russia, also if that does not happen, have a low yield nuclear bomb ready to go if the Russians take more losses, even Russia State media is starting to brake, the Russian people cannot say they do not know what is going on, the young men of Russia are heading for the borders, the gossip about the deaths will get through, this happened during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s.  Putin does not have all the time in the World. 

Guardian Review of the Liz Truss's speech to the Party Conference - Liz Truss Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.55pm post the following, " Truss's speech - verdict from Twitter commentariat.....And this is what political journalists and commentators are saying about Liz Truss’s speech. “OK” would be a reasonable summary, in so far as there is a consensus.   "

Lets Get Real:

This is the LEFT WING Guardian, thus an OKAY from them means it was a great speech and went down well with the Party Conference and should with a pity of luck go down well with the Country.  It will be interesting to see how the speech is treated during the day by the 24/7 news networks and by the later BBC News at 10.  The PM was damaged by the need to abandon the 45p tax cut, she did not have the numbers in the HOUSE OF COMMONS, the Whips have to do a better job, put the fear of God in to MPs, they are there because they had the Conservative symbol by their name, that can be removed if they get out of line.  The Cabinet needs to recall collective responsibility, the Government should speak with one VOICE, and that is the PM voice.  On the whole a good day for the PM, let' see how the Markets are at the end of the day.
