Obama at the NATO Summit


Lets Get Real:
The above are tough words when it comes to Russia and ISIS, the question is will Obama follow through, what if Russia starts to cause problems in the Baltic States with its native Russians, will NATO really protect them, one would not be surprised to learn one morning that Russians troops have gone it to the Baltic States to defend the native Russains.  That would be the ulitmate dest for NATO.   Would the public of Europe really go to War to protect the Baltics, lets recall Russia is a nuclear power, one does miss the Cold War.    The birthplace of ISIS is Syria, will the US and UK attack ISIS there, that is the real question.   The New World Order of the post Cold War period is OVER, welcome to the New World Order, and a new Cold War with with Russia and the threat of terrorism from the Middle East. 



Obama and ISIS - Middle East Crisis


Lets Get Real:

This IS why President Obama does not give one much confidence, at the end of the day the US has to lead, taking down ISIS is a long term project, it will take years, the US needs a leader who will tell the West the truth, Reagan called USSR an Evil Empire, and took it down, if it had been up to the Democrats and the elite West the USSR would still be here, and Eastern Europe would still be under the control of Moscow.   The West has to place ground troops in Iraq AND Syria to bring down ISIS, of course speical forces are there already but you still need trained combat troops to take back the towns and cities held by ISIS.   The problems of ISIS and Putin's Russian is not going to go away, a good speech does not cut it, there is the need for bold action, the West after Afghanistan and Iraq is afraid and lead by weak leaders.   Great leaders bring the people along, thus a Thatcher and a Reagan, weak leaders go by the political polls. 

The Ukraine and Pro Russian Rebel Deal - Part 2 - Ukraine Crisis

Telegraph: Reports in its 6.04pm post the following,  Russian reaction to the NATO statement that it will hold military exercises with the Ukraine Forces, " The essence and tone of [Nato] statements on the Ukraine situation, and the plans announced to hold joint Nato exercises with Kiev on the territory of that country before the end of 2014, will inevitably lead to heightened tension.
Lets Get Real:
President Putin wants the Ukraine back, he is taking the long view, he is waiting for the West to lose interest in the Ukraine then he will increase the pressure, more arms and military equipment to the Russian rebels, this blog would not be surprised to see the pro Russian use terrorism on Ukraine forces in the West and Kiev itself.   Between ISIS and Putin the West has a lot on its plate, lets hope the West can win, you have murdering cowards on one hand with ISIS and a MR KGB up to his old tricks in Western Ukraine, that is why there has to be firm leadership from the OVAL.  One is not holding one's breath for that, Obama is a great speaker when he is on form, that form has been suspect of late, and as a leader he gets a D grade. 

The Coalition of the Willing against ISIS - Iraq/Syria Crisis


Lets Get Real:

The above is a way to lose to ISIS, the terrorist cowards of ISIS have to be taken on with combat troops, when you tell the enemy WHAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO, they will go for that weak spot and force the West to place ground troops, lets be honest here, there are UK and US special forces on the ground already,  ISIS could try a Tet offensive in Baghdad, thus forcing the West to get in to the action, also expect more terrorist attacks on Western interests in Baghdad, thus the need for more Western troops, this is going to be a long war, the West requires another Churchill/Thatcher on the UK side and a Reagan in the Oval.   The lack of fire in the belly by POTUS to fight is seen around the World, thus expect more hot spots in till 2017. 

Ukraine and Russian Rebels Agree Ceasefire - Ukriane Crisis


Lets Get Real:

This blog has doubts about this deal, the Russians could have agreed the deal as a way of getting less sanctions thrown at it, who is to say after a few days or weeks that the Russians do not go back to their plan to take over East Ukraine.   The Russian Bear can not be trusted, it lies and kills without remorse, one suspects that the Russians will increase military equipment to the East Ukraine Rebels for when they want to start the War again, as a great US President stated, Trust but verify
