What is the Obama Strategy for IS or ISIS? - Iraq Crisis


Lets Get Real:

The Oval has no political choice it has to ACT and has to be seen to have ACTED, thus this means more air strikes on ISIS in Iraq and attacks on ISIS in Syria, while at the same time having to deal with Russian action in the Ukraine.   The Oval has to be careful that any attacks on ISIS in Syria does not help the Assad Regime, that is harder to do with the options, the Syrian air defence is good, thus any attacks on ISIS using Syrian Air space will have to have the agreement of Assad, of course the US could strike ISIS with planes outside the Assad controlled air space, but an attack to be successful it needs the use of Syrian air space and to use US Special Forces on the ground.   Thus the best way to hit both ISIS and Assad is to HIT both of them at the same time, neither will gain and the Oval will be seen to have taken action on both sides. 

The Western Strategy for dealing with IS or ISIS - Iraq/Syria Crisis


Lets Get Real:

ALL options should be on the table when it comes to dealing with IS, that means the use of NATO Special Forces to take down IS, and prevent them from keeping their bloody State.   NATO needs a massive air assault on IS, these means night and day bombing.  IS by its actions has shown it can not be allowed to grow or extend its power, they are bloody cowards , who should be buried with no marker, they have killed thousands and will try to kill hundred of thousands.  If IS is not taken down it could attack the UK and the US.   Also it a threat to the Middle East, it could try to cause problems in Turkey and try to take down the Governments of Jordan and Lebanon.  This means NATO MUST ACT, no time for dithering. 

Ceasefire in the Ukraine? - Ukraine Crisis


Lets Get Real:

Do you trust anything that President Putin says, if you your a fool, the sole interest for Putin is A Greater Russia, the Russian rebels can not be allowed to control East Ukraine, that would make West Ukraine a basket case and in need of billions of dollars in support, the East of the Ukraine is the industrial sector of the Country, in effect the Ukraine would become two Countries, think of Germany during the COLD WAR, the Kiev Government can not fold to the demands of Russia and its allies.   If there is a peace deal the Russians have to get out of the Ukraine, otherwise its another major win for Russia. 

Obama on the Security of Estonia - Ukraine Crisis


Lets Get Real:

These are tough words from POTUS, the question is will President Putin think that Obama has the backbone to follow through, what if native Russians in the Baltic States start to act up with the help of Russia,  they could call for self rule, and with arms from Russia cause massive problems in the area, and cause NATO to be on the spot, are they willing to go up against both IS and Russia.   The good days of the old Cold War look great at the moment.   If your Putin you must think its worth the gamble. take over the Ukraine, then place political pressure on the Baltic, get the local people to call for native Russians to either have self rule or become part of Russia.   Troubling times ahead for the West. 

President Obama on the death of Steven Sotloff - Iraq Crisis


Lets Get Real:
This is a strong statement by POTUS, its a pity that he took his time to deliver this message, but when your President you have to go through the system to make sure the video is real.   This is a warning to IS that the US will get the enemies of the US, dead or alive, the Oval did not say that but that is the clear message, IS are cowards and the lowest form of life on the planet, they are against everything a secular liberal should hold dear, democracy, free will, free speech, rights for women, the list is endless.   Even Al Qaeda has disowned IS, on the OTHER hand the Taliban might join the group.   Thus more calls for the Oval to strike Syria and take out IS, lets hope the Oval has a plan and fast.
