North Korea threatens US Bases in Japan - Korean Crisis

Telegraph: Reports the following on the North Korean Crisis, " North Korea has threatened to launch a nuclear attack on US bases in Japan and Guam after Washington used B-52 bombers in a joint military drill with the South. ".

Lets Get Real:

Yes more bluster out of the Stalinist North, the question will they actually do anything, as the article notes they have had air raid drills, cyber attacks on South it seems from the North, the rhetoric is bloody hot, the question is WHAT NEXT?   Will they attack the disputed South Korean Islands on the border of the North; the North has told those on the Island to leave; they have made that threat, or will they go ALL IN, attack the Islands, direct cyber attack on South Korea, cause friction with US bases on personnel, it would be a risky move, the Oval would have to move and react, talking would not cut it folks.

Then folks talking is what North Korea might want, lets agree North Korea is not insane, okay is a big ask, could all these action be a SHOW, to force the Oval to send Secretary Kerry to the North for TALKS.    The question is can the Oval afford it, it will be seen as appeasement, thus the Oval needs a secret back channel as the President Kennedy had during the Cuban Missile Crisis, where is the modern Robert Kennedy when you need him, there needs to be talks, but under the radar, get the North back in to the box, while allowing for further talks.  Its a delicate operation  folks, if the Oval looks weak it links back to Israel and Iran,  if such talks become public the Israeli Government might think that Obama will sell them out to Iran, while Tehran would be looking for such talks.  Yes folks the North Korean Crisis has results outside Asia, watch this space folks. 

Selling Cyprus - Cyprus Financial Crisis

Guardian: Reports the following in its 10.47am post, " Reports out of Cyprus in the last few minutes suggest that the country's leaders have decided to create "national solidarity fund", at this morning's talks in Nicosia....There's no word on what the fund would includes - but reports last night suggested pension assets, various state assets, and even property owned by the Church of Cyprus. ".

Lets Get Real: 

Folks this sounds like the Reformation, when yo have to sell your Church to pay off your debts its time to look at your soul, is the Euro worth going to hell if your a believer.    The EU wanted the Government of Cyprus to steal from the savings of its people, now the Government wants to steal the pensions of the people of Cyprus and use the Church as a political asset, what if that bluff is called, are Churches in Cyprus going to taken over by franchise shops, get your local coffee or tea or sandwich at your local Church, Car Park yes, no funerals.   This is a mess folks.    The Russians are going through the roof, there are allegations that the Russian money in Cyprus is dirty, or worse, it seems that the EU thought the Bank Tax would just hit the Russians, it scope was beyond that, now the Government of Cyprus is trying to sell Cyprus to the Russians, the Russians are either bluffing or they do not seem that keen according to reports.  Thus folks will the EU really allow Cyprus to go under, or will they have to fold, it would be ironic if Cyprus bought down the Euro. 

Obama and a Palestinian State - 2nd Obama Term

BBC New: Reports on remarks by President Obama on his visit to the West Bank, the President stated that the US still supports the creation of a Palestinian State and was critical of Israeli building policy on contested land. 

Lets Get Real: 

Thus the question what is the Oval going to do about the Israeli building policy on land that would be part of the a Palestinian State, the answer, NAFF ALL, the Oval can not force Israel to stop building, any move would be countered by the US Congress, the new Israeli Government is not going to stop or reverse its policy, the new Coalition Government would fall, thus results folks, NOTHING.   The two State solution is DEAD in the water folks, the Dead Sea Scrolls have more activity going on,  the US State Department and the UK Foreign Office and the EU are PRO Arab, on the whole they do not have the power, thank goodness, they are weak and appease, those that support a REAL Palestinian State have to come with a new solution, can not think of one at the moment but it has to be new, the present two State Solution is political dodo folks, its a rotten corpse on the body politic.
