The US and NATO - Ukraine Latest

Telegraph: Reports the following on US military moves to defend its NATO allies, " Ukraine crisis: US sends fighter jets to Baltic and increases pressure on Vladimir Putin..America will also deploy 12 F-16 fighters to Poland next week as part of a military training exercise expanded in response to the Russian incursion in Ukraine ".

Lets Get Real:

If the Oval had done this at the start it might have prevented Russia taking over the Crimea, at the least the Oval is being firm, the US is under Treaty obligation to defend its NATO allies, thus this show for force in the Baltic and Poland will show Moscow there are limits to how far it can go, what if there are pro Russian protests in the Baltic States and Putin losses the plot and takes action to protect Russians in these States, that kind of Crisis would make the Ukraine look like a tea party for the OVAL, so it a clear message to the Russian bear, this and no further and keep your claws to yourself or else. 

Obama HELPS Dems in 2014 Mid Terms - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports on the latest delay in ObamaCare, the article notes the following, " Obama announces further two-year reprieve for old health insurance plans..Decision to grant extension helps defuse a political problem for Democrats in tough re-election battles this fall ".

Lets Get Real:

Your head would spin if your tried to go through ALL the delays in ObamaCare, the latest means that those insurance plans that were meant to be outlawed by ObamaCare have two more years, well in to 2016 Presidential Election, the Democratic Nominee is really going to thank President Obama for that, the article notes that this delay finishes one moth before the 2016 Presidential election, one can see the Democrats demanding not requesting that the Oval in 2016 extend the delay again well past the 2016 and 2018 Mid Term Elections.    Those Democrats in red States, as in Conservative States should feel somewhat happy for this round of elections, but the political damage to the Democrats done by ObamaCare is vast, at some point a leading Democrat will call for or will enact law to remove ObamaCare, its just to much for the Democrats.    The left wing of the Democratic Party might be happy but they do no get you Oval.   

President Obama TALKS to President Putin - Ukraine Crisis

The White House: Readout of telephone call between President Obama and President Putin of Russia, " President Obama spoke for an hour this afternoon with President Putin of Russia. President Obama emphasized that Russia’s actions are in violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, which has led us to take several steps in response, in coordination with our European partners. President Obama indicated that there is a way to resolve the situation diplomatically, which addresses the interests of Russia, the people of Ukraine, and the international community. As a part of that resolution, the governments of Ukraine and Russia would hold direct talks, facilitated by the international community; international monitors could ensure that the rights of all Ukrainians are protected, including ethnic Russians; Russian forces would return to their bases; and the international community would work together to support the Ukrainian people as they prepare for elections in May. President Obama indicated that Secretary Kerry would continue discussions with Foreign Minister Lavrov, the government of  Ukraine, and other international partners in the days to come to advance those objectives. ".

Lets Get Real:

The above is WHAT the US and the West needs to happen in the Crimea, there is nothing on how Putin responded in the call, the Russians are refusing even to talk to the new Kiev Government, there forces are surrounding forces of the Ukraine in the Crimea, the Russians on top of that are refusing to allow UN or other monitors in to the Crimea, the UN Representative was forced out of Crimea by gun point and needed the cover of TV news to make sure he did get harmed by Russian thugs or forces, take your pick.   If the Crimea goes and becomes part of Russia by popular vote its going to be difficult for the West, it would be illegal under the law of the Ukraine, the question is how do you put Putin back in to his KGB box.
