LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD NEWS TODAY and the GLOBAL RISKS & CONSEQUENCES TOMORROW

In My Opinion:

Offering on this Friday relevant current looks at updated important news concerning the Russian/Ukraine war that has been more or less ignored with the now questionable U.S./Iran nuclear agreement talks and the possible US/Israel/Iran war situation if those talks fail — all of which is becoming more likely every day. The USA meddling and interfering by Trump is creating dissension and stress around the world.

Trump has — either intentionally or stupidly — thrown contradictory demands in the face at every break during the scheduled talks. His demands have led to a mistrust about the USA and Trump’s dedication of any such nuclear pact. And, as a result, Israel has also returned to the idea of war with Iran with a bombing to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities that Trump has previously told Israel to stand down, and let the U.S. take care of it all through diplomacy that has never arrived. So, the long and short of it all is that the agreement talks are in jeopardy and the war talks are prevalent.

And now Trump is similarly balking about the possible peace situation between Russia/Ukraine because he is insisting that Putin agree to a 30-day cease fire before any peace talks can be held. (See the 2nd to last “Sky News article linked below in the list of the 7 current news for today) . . .

Perhaps Trump needs to bow out or be forced out of any war and peace discussions in both situations as well as the Pakistan/India situation, and, as a practical matter, shut up about annexing Canada by offering them his “Golden Dome” nuclear war defense probable “white elephant” for free if they merge with the United States. It’s never gonna happen where Canada is concerned. llolloll!

And then there are the Greenland, Denmark, and Panama issues waiting in the wings . . . ~llaw
