What EU Sanctions? - Ukraine Crisis


Lets Get Real:

What does it take with Europe, its put its head in the sand again, has it learned nothing from the 1930s, if you appease a tyrant then he will come back for more,  what if Putin places troops in the Baltic States or makes threats to Poland, when does the EU really react, does it take armies moving to react, has the EU become fat on the welfare state, its people  gutless, they allow a tyrant to get a away with blowing an airplane from the sky.  It seems that HISTORY is the one subject modern leaders never took, lets hope its peoples do not have to pay the price, as Europe had to with World War 2. 

FAA BLOCKS Flights to Israel - Gaza Crisis


Lets Get Real:

The invasion of Gaza, the throwing of rockets by Hamas from Gaza to Israel is starting to get the Western elites to start to call for a ceasefire, it seems to be happening when Israel might be winning a conflict.   The latest development is due to a rocket falling a mile from the airport, after the loss of MH17 the airlines are worried, so they overreact thus the 24 hour block.    The airlines should grow up, the case of MH17 IS different, the Russian rebels wanted to shoot the plane down, either because they thought it was a transport carrier for the Ukraine air force or to get press coverage, the reason does not matter, it was an ACT OF TERROR, there is no evidence that Hamas wants to bring down an civilian airplane in Israel, if they did that Israel would take over Gaza in a day and not ask many questions how it did it, lets hope the airlines change their minds and get back to work. 

The French backstab ALLIES! - Ukraine Crisis

Guardian - Ukraine Live: Reports the following in its 4.29pm post " French President Francois Hollande has confirmed plans to sell a warship to Russia, in defiance of American and British allies.."

Lets Get Real:

This is typical French, selling out their allies for a buck, no wonder President Putin does not care about Western sanctions, there are always Countries that want the money more than the respect of the international community.   Thus although Russia helped in the shootdown of a plane they will not really suffer, if only President Obama lead, but as stated by his White House the Oval likes to lead from behind, well in the case of President Obama is behind playing golf.   There is no passion when President Obama speaks about national security issues, thus what NEXT, will Russia invade the Baltic States, Russia will only back down when there is leadership in the Oval. 

Setback FOR ObamaCare - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

The next stage is the US Supreme Court, the question IS will the Chief Justice re-write the law again to save ObamaCare, after its failure at the website failure at the start and the law is still not popular, how will the CJ vote.   One can see the Chief Justice going back to safer ground and going with the rest of the Conservatives on the Court.   The issue will become a campaign issue for the 2014 Mid Terms.   This is another negative that the Democrats will have to carry for ObamaCare.   The foreign policy disasters of the 2nd term combined with the slow recovery of the economy makes for a bleak election year for Democrats.
