BBC News: Reports in its 6.46am post that the US Government has shut down because the White House could not come to agreement with Democrats the on their demands.
Lets Get Real:
This is what Trump wants, he can now fire thousands, even hundred of thousand of civil servants. The Democrats think that the civil servants will be re-hired by Trump. The Oval Office will not budge and the Democrats will have to cave in the end, the Democrats have learned nothing from the 2024 Presidential Election.
Guardian: Reports in its 7.59pm post the following, " Trump demands Hamas to accept US plan to ‘end Gaza conflict’.....“We’re not quite finished,” Trump says. “We have to get Hamas, but I think they’re going to be able to do that. So now it’s time for Hamas to accept the terms of the plan that we’ve put forward today.” "
Lets Get Real:
The question is will the terrorist group Hamas agreed to the deal with giving up power to the Board of Peace headed by POTUS, with Tony Blair on board. It really depends how much Israel has hurt them and if they still have a structure. The agreement by first glance works for ISRAEL, they have agreed to a Trump idea, if Hamas say no the President has given them full support to take out Hamas. Also Israel has made it clear it will never allow Palestinian State, whatever Europe wants, and this view they are supported by Trump 47. If Hamas had a brain cell, it would agree to the plan and try to change the plan in the tent than throwing water on to the tent. The White House and the media await news from Gaza.
Sky News: Reports in its 8.19am post that the US Envoy to the Ukraine has stated that the Kyiv should be able to use long range missiles on Russia, the final decision is down to POTUS.
Lets Get Real:
POTUS thus far has failed to place the toughest sanctions on Russia, he has been a lapdog to Putin, he has been tough of late, but Trump is very mercurial, depends on the last person to speak to him, that leaves an impression. I will not hold my breath for POTUS to say YES to the above move, at least Biden was consistent with his views on Putin, even if was slow to give Ukraine what it needed.
CNN: Reports on the book tour done by former VP Harris.
Lets Get Real:
Either Harris is burning down Rome, sorry the Democratc Party because she has given up politics or she is running in 2028. The former VP has been honest that it was reckless for Biden to run in 2024, that any success she might have had was seen as negative by Biden's West Wing, that Biden called out her perceived disloyalty before her debate with Trump, that her campaign let her down sometimes, so yes Harris is trying to blame everyone else for her defeat to Trump. Thus main problem this blogger has found is that she never moved beyond her base, no move to the centre, and she was to loyal to President Biden. If Harris had been more open in her campaign as she is in her book, she might have won.
BBC News: reports on a 12 hour attack on Kyiv with 600 Drones.
Lets Get Real:
This is an outrageous attack on Kyiv, people stuck in shelters and people killed. The Oval should DO SOMETHING, Putin is wrecking the Ukraine, the cost of rebuilding will be billions, and the psychological impact can be counted in years. The EU must increase military aid to Kyiv, they must be able to counter the Russian Bear, and it's WAR CRIMES, the US Eagle must fly high and with vengeance.
Sky News: Reports that Tony Blair, the former UK PM, could lead Gaza Government after the Israeli offensive ends.
Lets Get Real:
By some Blair is considered a WAR CRIMINAL because of the Iraq War, not by this blog, Blair did the right thing in cooperation with Bush 43. The Baghdad regime was a threat to the region, with or without WMD. This choice would be an excellent choice, it would give the Gaza a World renowned Statesman to lead them for a temporary period. Depends on who Trump47 wants and trusts.
BBC News: Reports Russian has had a CALM reaction to President Trump's opinion of the War in the Ukraine.
Lets Get Real:
The Kremlin is astute, it knows that Trump is very mercurial and can change his mind within a day. DOES the Oval actually do anything? More sanctions on Russia, more arms for the Kyiv government. Putin can wait Trump out, he has before with other US Presidents, time will tell.
