VP Harris choses Walz as her VP choice - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election -Biden Era

Guardian reports that VP Harris has chosen Governor Walz as her running mate.

Lets Get Real:

This is a shock,  Walz is liberal like Harris, two liberals on the ticket could be a gift to the Republicsns, they will point out that the other candidate Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania was not chosen because he is Jewish and a firm supporter of Isrsel, the polls on this should be interesting.  Thus the campaign properly starts, Trump will have a field day with this, even the Liberal elite might raise a eyebrow over this decision.  ALSO lets recall that Governor Walz of Minnesota is the Governor of the only State to vote for Walter Mondale in 1984 and years later voted not to put Walter Mondale back in the Senate, thus the joke that Mondale had lost every State of the Union, even I can think of the political adverts to hit the Harris/Walz campaign with, to Liberal for the fly over States!

Drone strike on Northen Isrsel - Middle East Crosis - Biden Era

Sky News reports on a drone strike on Northen Israel, the Drones  came from Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Lets Get Real:

This seems a  carry on of the border strikes between Israel and Hezbollah, not the expected strike from Iran.  It could be a signal from Iran to its allies in the region, to expect action from Iran, Tehran wants to catch Israel and the US napping, they have to be on ALERT over the next few days!

Some US Soldiers injured in ATTACK- Middle East Crisis- Biden Era

CNN reports that some US Soldiers have been injured by an attack on a US base in Iraq.

Let's Get Real:

The World is waiting to see what Iran does after the assassination of the Hamas political leader in Tehran.   Thus far nothing, could the Iraq attacks be a signal for various groups allied to Iran to take action.   The Iraq attack will force the Biden Oval to ACT, at some point, now is just the waiting to see, what happens, the crisis has its own internal logic, as always in the Middle East.

Iran says it has a DUTY to PUNISH Iran - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Iran says it has duty to punish Israel over killing of Hamas leader in Tehran "

Lets Get Real:

Thus nothing from Iran, just the words of fury, it might mean that the some of the elite in Iran who want caution might be wining the argument about not jumping the gun.  On the other hand the latest statement might mean that Tehran is getting its ducks in the row before hitting Israel, and pushing the Israeli Government to take action that could lead to a regional war, LST TIME it took Iran 12 days to react, one does wish that the Biden Oval has some influence in the region, but the Biden Oval is weak, its is not running for re-election and the VP is not trusted in Israel, she is seen as more supportive of the people of Palestine than of Israel.   The next few days should tell us the direction of travel, its waiting that makes you worried that Iran will do something that forces Israel and the US to take direction against Iran.  Lets recall that the US Secretary of State has stated that Iran it two weeks from break out to having the bomb.

US sends planes and warships in to the Middle East - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

Update:

This Blog notes the prison swap between the US and Russia, it is like the good old days of the Cold War, just to be clear, Russian held Western hostages that were setup to be arrested, as Putin wanted them for an exchange, the highest was a Russian Assassin.   Thus it was a hostage swap for real Russian prisoners who should have been in jail.  It was BAD SWAP, the Western hostages had done nothing wrong, it shows that Biden is weak and in search of a legacy. 

BBC News: Reports "  US deploys jets and warships as Iran threatens Israel....The United States will deploy additional warships and fighter jets to the Middle East to help defend Israel from possible attacks by Iran and its proxies, the Pentagon said. "

Lets Get Real:

It has been a quite few days in the Middle East, one assumes Iran is waiting for the funerals to happen of known terrorists, then what, if one is to believe Iran they will strike Israel either from Iran or their terrorist groups in the region.    The US is doing as the same before, sending in the fleet to protect Israel, now many times can it do this and will want to do this, Biden is ironclad about the protection of Israel, what about his VP, she really has to do a tough interview, the elite liberal media has been very quite about that, one assumes the VP would protect Israel if she is elected, it would be nice to hear that from her own mouth.  Tense days ahead?

Threat from Iran to the Tehran Killing of the Hamas Leader - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.51pm post the following, "  Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said revenge was "our duty" and that Israel had "prepared a harsh punishment for itself". Iran's Revolutionary Guard warned Israel will face a "harsh and painful response" from Iran and its allies in the region. "

Lets Get Real:

The Israeli State should expect no quarter from Iran, they will have to make up for their failed rocket attacks that were stopped by the Israeli Iron Dome and the US and Allies.  The IDF should expect joint attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran, the question is what will Iran do this time and the reaction from Israel, they bowed to US pressure last time and took only shot back, lets not forget that Israel is a nuclear power!  This fight has becoming for some time, October 7th attacks on Israel might have pushed forward the timetable for a regional war, lets see what the Biden Administration does and in the case the remarks by VP HARRIS, she has to follow her President, If POTUS was LBJ the VP would be on a tight lead, there is only one President at the time.

Emergency Meeting of the UN Security Council over Tehran Killing - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 9.14pm post, " UN Security Council emergency meeting begins...Representatives will discuss the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas political leader. "

Lets Get Real:

Israel or their intelligence network Mossad has been busy, a Hezbollah Commander killed in Beirut, and now this killing in Tehran, one can even say that Israel has been very BOLD, this blog does not pity terrorists one does worry if ISRAEL has the defence network to counter both Hezbollah in the North and any attacks from IRAN, last time Tehran did not try hard, one gets the impression that the US placed pressure on both sides, this time the US might find its influence some what limited, Israel wants to take on IRAN, its tired of the threat and the games.  The US will defend Israel and Israel has its IRON DOME, lets not forget Israel is a nuclear power, if its back is to the wall, it can drop the BOMB on Iran, the US has said that Iran is 2 weeks from the bomb.  All eyes and ears on the Middle East, Winter is coming to the Middle East.
