Ukraine Update - Ukraine Crisis


Lets Get Real:

Ukraine has to careful that Russia does not add arms to the rebels in East Ukraine, it looks like Kiev has the rebels on the run, the rebels have been successful is shooting down aircraft of the Ukraine air force, they have also been accused of shooting down MH17.     The Kiev Government needs to block any Russian military help to the rebels, Moscow could be using the aid convoy as a rouse to allow them to give more arms, men and missiles to the rebels, or as a reason to invade, NEVER TRUST THE RUSSIAN BEAR, it always up to something, it does not matter if its Tsarist Russia, the USSR or Great Russia that Putin is trying to create. The Russian Bear always has it claws out! 

Kurds Partial Victory over IS - Iraq Crisis


Lets Get Real:

This is a good first step, but lets get real, this fight against IS will take months if not years, the US and its allies can be the air force for the Kurds and the Baghdad Government but they have to fight IS on the ground.   Thus the US/EU will have to arm the Kurds, this will not go down well with Turkey, they have their own Kurdish problem.   The problem develops if the West creates a Kurdish State by accident, the threat to Ibril, the Capital of the Kurds shows how much the Kurds need the West to give it air cover, the US/EU by creating a structure to fight the IS will help create a civic, economic, military State for the Kurds, that is a long term problem, the main issue NOW is IS, they have to be taken down, destroyed at birth before they become a threat to the Middle East and the West.
