The Biden Budget - The 1st shot of the 2024 Campaign - 2024 Presidential Election/2024 Candidate

Guardian: Reports " Biden unveils ‘blue-collar’ budget plan with tax hikes for America’s wealthiest....Blueprint – unlikely to pass given Republicans’ control of House of Representatives – frames president’s aspirations for re-election  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Budget is dead on the Hill even before it arrives, it will not pass the Republican House, and even a few Democrats Senators up for re-election will not vote for it, they like their cushy number to much and if Biden does win re - election, he will be gone after four years.   Thus President Biden should use his skills to sell the budget to the American people, the Republicans will call it a tax hike budget and a increase in welfare, the typical Democrat wish list for the base.  The increase in the defence budget should be an easy sell, the Russians, China, North Korea and Iran, they are all a threat to the US national security.  The question is does Biden have the ability to sell anything, the support for the Ukraine  has gone down over the last few months, the old enemy is on the march and the American people, well a small majority wants to allow them to win.  Let's face the Donkey in the room, Biden is no Reagan, do you trust Biden for another 4 years with the security of the West, if you do I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to you.  If could be another re-match, Biden vs.  Trump, there is now way I will give up drinking if that is the case.

The Importance of Bakhmut - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.50pm post the following, " Ukrainian commander has warning about Bakhmut....Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi said that if Moscow's forces managed to capture the embattled town, it would give it renewed resources to launch a "large-scale offensive".  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the reason that Bakhmut has become more important, its a meat grinder for Russian mercenaries, as long as the ex convicts are fighting there and meeting their maker there,  they cannot be fighting anywhere else in the Ukraine and the Ukraine can reinforce its own forces after Bakhmut.  One does hope that the CIA and MI6 are helping the Kyiv Forces with intelligence on Russian movements and that NSA and GCHQ are breaking Russian codes and listening to Russian Soldiers on their mobiles.  It seems that the Russian communication for soldiers to talk to their families does not exist, thus use of mobiles, not the most secure way to get information home.   Ukraine intelligence must be wary that the Russians do not use this as away to give false information to the Kyiv Government and change strategy.   Bakhmut most be held  at ALL COST, no matter the consequences, the Russians cannot be allowed to win this ruined city.  

The importance of Bakhmut - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Why Bakhmut matters for Russia and Ukraine "

Lets Get Real:

As noted yesterday by this blog and by other reporters, there is no military strategic value to Bakhmut, it has made itself important, as the article notes to Ukraine as a symbol and the killing of Russians, those Russians that could be fighting somewhere else in the Ukraine, also its causing frictions in the Russian Forces, the mercenary leader is complaining that his men are not getting the support of other Russian Forces, there is a lack of ammunition, that fact that Russia is using mercenaries  is a very great tell, Putin is afraid that they might have become a THREAT to him, thus it could be one reason for the lack of ammo and the distrust of the Russian Army.   Also the Kremlin wants to keep the Russian Armed Forces happy, Putin does not want them asking question and taking a real hard look at the Russian losses in a operation that was meant to last only a few weeks.  The West must send it tanks to the Ukraine, the Kyiv Government might to hurry its offensive, this is an excellent time to strike the Russians hard.  Also the West needs to consider giving the Kyiv Government the F-16  fighter jets that it has requested, what about getting former Western fighter pilots  to fight the Russians, then the West would have some control over where they fight and when. 

IRAN sending secret ammunition to Russia - Ukraine - Russia - Biden Era

Sky News ( TV News ) exclusive reports that Iran has sent millions of ammunition to Russia in January.

Let's Get Real:

This is not a shocking or surprising, Russian Forces are firing more ammunition that it has, there are reports that IRAN has sent suicide Drones to Russia and that North Korea has also shipped millions of ammunition to Russia.  The Axis of Evil supports one another, one has to ask why Western Navies have not prevented such shipments.   This is the time for firm action from the West, let's prevent WW3 before it happens, let's learn the lessons of history.  Let's STOP Iran now, inspect their cargo ships.

Bakhmut could fall in Days - NATO Secretary General - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.38pm post the following, " Bakhmut could fall within days says Nato secretary general....The Nato secretary general said it may fall into Russian hands in the coming days. “What we see is that Russia is throwing more troops, more forces and what Russia lacks in quality they try to make up in quantity.  "

Lets Get Real:

The one thing Russian has is enough men to throw in to the hell that is the Bakhmut battle, as stated by many reporters the City of  Bakhmut has no strategy value but is a symbol for both the Ukraine and Russia, a Russia win would be seen as a positive and supporting the Special Military Operation of President Putin, while in the Ukraine the taking of the city would allow the Russians to have a deeper offensive in to the Ukraine as noted by the President of the Ukraine.  As noted in previous post the tanks promised by the West will start to turn up at the end of this month, thus the Kyiv Government can start to push the Russians back, therefor the West must move fast to send their tanks, this might save Bakhmut, and the save the lives of Ukrainian forces.   The West also must send Western Fighter Jets to the Ukraine, this would be a game changer, Ukraine must not lose this battle or this WAR.  

Tanks for the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.35pm post the following " German defence minister confirms when Ukraine will get Leopard 2 tanks.....German defence minister Boris Pistorius says 18 Leopard 2 tanks from Germany and three from Portugal will arrive in Ukraine by the end of March.  "

Lets Get Real:

At last the tanks are coming from the West to the Ukraine, so far the new Russian offensive has not be a great success, as posted on this blog yesterday.  The arrival of Western tanks at the end of March will allow the Kyiv Forces to push back the Russians, when that happens the Russian Army and the mercenaries will lose more men in the Ukraine, the PUITN Regime controls the media in RUSSIA from TV to the internet, finally the print press, the Russian people are being feed lies, that the WAR is going well, therefore if you can believe the reports that the people support the war, those that don't are wisely keeping quiet, no wants to spend years in jail by protesting the Special Military Operation as called by Putin.   That kind of control can not last, sooner or late the Russian people will rebel, it might come with a 2nd call up, the Russian Army needs more men, the clever men should head to the border and get out of danger of being called up for an illegal war. 

Bakhmut Battle - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports 1.11pm post the following, " 

Footage appears to show street fighting and explosions in Bakhmut.....

Ukraine's State Border Service has released footage showing it claims is street fighting in Bakhmut.  "

Lets Get Real:

The City has been stated by military experts has having no value, the battle in Bakhmut has gone beyond military value, it has become a matter national prestige, the Ukraine side want to make sure that the Russians shed tons of their blood in trying to take the city, while the Russians need a military victory, this is why it has gone to street to street fighting.  There are reports out there that Putin might need to call a second mobilisation, those that have so far avoided the call up should start heading to the borders, how can Russia have any honour when it uses mercenaries, convicts from prison, the lowest of the low.  It can be understood why even Kremlin supporters are starting to ask questions, they question the Army, to question Putin means a walk through a window from a high floor.  This is a grinding WAR, it might last years, one does wonder when the people of Russia will have a enough of this bloody WAR.
