Guardian: Reports on the reaction of Germany to the leaked conversation between State Department officials, " Angela Merkel: Victoria Nuland's remarks on EU are unacceptable...German chancellor condemns comments by US state department official in leaked conversation about Ukraine crisis ".
Lets Get Real:
The Kremlin must be loving this discord between the powers, the Russians sees the Ukraine as their backyard, they do NOT want to see the Ukraine join the EU, this would be a disaster for their influence abroad, it would make Putin look a like a hollow leader of Russia. Thus the very reason that the US should force the pace, the US should lead, if the EU wants to be slow, so be it, the EU does not have common EU Foreign or Defence policy, just what a majority can agree on, they will join the US lead push to force the Ukraine to hold fresh elections and support the demonstrators in the streets, so "F**k the EU", what a excellent and honest reaction by the US State Department Official. It is about time London said the same thing to the EU.
