Is Greece near the Brink of Leaving the Euro? - Greek Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " EU talks tough to Greece after debt talks collapse..Greek government brands proposed eurozone debt deal as "unacceptable", ending crunch talks with its creditors in dramatic events in Brussels "

Lets Get Real:

Either Greece or Germany has to blink, at this moment they are like two drunk drivers heading towards each other with the drunken view that the other will break and divert his car.   If Germany blinks it will see the printing of money by Greece and others, and the German tax payer will be expected to pay it, that could lead to the raise of the extreme right in Germany.  On the other hand, if Greece does not divert it could find itself out of the Euro or even the EU.   There are billions at stake here, the Germans are worried that France, Italy, Ireland will see Germany blink and ask for better terms of their deals.  Crunch time for the EU and Germany. 

The Ukraine the Latest - New Cold War 2

Guardian: Reports " Pro-Russia and government forces fight for control of Debaltseve, with Ukrainian military saying rebels have fired on its troops 112 times in last 24 hours "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians want a free path from mother Russia to the Crimea, they want to control the land route through road and train access, thus the violations of the the Minsk agreement.  The Kiev Government have to hold Debaltseve, if they can this will force the US to arm the Government East Ukraine forces, the Oval Office is under pressure from the US Congress to do something.   As stated the Minsk agreement had a 50/50 chance of working, at this rate it will be another failure, terrible times in East Ukraine. 

What to do about Libya? - The New War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " Egypt has called on the international community to intervene against Islamic State (IS) militants in Libya....Egyptian jets bombed IS targets in response to a militant video of the apparent beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians. "

Lets Get Real:

The threat IS is all over the Middle East and Africa, the international community through the UN should take on the issue, even create an international force to take out IS in areas not under attack by the West, the US and its allies are taking the War to the IS in Syria and Iraq, the UN should create a new force with the sole aim of the destruction of IS within 5 years. At some point the UN has to earn  its  keep, even Iran hates IS.   The more the West waits the more IS will grow, then Western ground troops will be needed to remove IS, do Western governments want to imagine Western troops as prisoners of War under the control of IS.   Thus TIME FOR ACTION by the West.
