The Oval Office and the Ukraine - Ukraine Crisis Latest


Lets Get Real: 

At least the Oval Office is backing Kiev through words, even if its doing bugger all else, no arms, no intelligence,  just some basic food rations, that really going to help against the Russian army!  If Russia is going to ACT it will ACT NOW, its has a reason from its point of view, also Russian TV is pushing the Kremlin line, so what is the prediction of this blog, it is risky to make predictions in this game, but it can be postulated that Russian might move tonight or tomorrow, if it sees that its gains in East Ukraine could be lost, on other hand does Putin really want a short War with the Ukraine, this is not Georgia, it could get very bloody.  Thus out of 10, this blog is betting 6.5 of some kind of action by Russia. 

Is Ukraine heading for Civil War ? - Ukraine Crisis Latest


Lets Get Real:

If the Russians are going to invade the East Ukraine the above is a good reason as any, its the kind of incident that Russian TV will use to convince the Russian people that Kiev is under fascist control, echoes of World War 2 will be used, one should watch Russian TV and press just to see alternative world view, its nuts but its the one the Russian people are being fed, Putin has removed free press from Russia.   The Kremlin knows that the Russian people do not want the USSR back, they want the Tsarist Empire back, and that includes the Ukraine, thus if your in the Baltic States you have to be worried, in Poland one can see great FEAR developing, lets hope NATO would defend these Countries, the question is do you TRUST President Obama. 

Ukraine TAKES ON Pro Russian protesters in East Ukraine - Ukraine Crisis Latest


Lets Get Real: 

About time that THE Kiev Government got off its backside and did something about these Russian inspired attacks in the East of the Ukraine, you never give way to a bully he just comes back for more, the common held view is that Kiev did not ACT because it did not want to give Moscow a reason to attack, that was a mistake, the Russian Bear can smell weakness and goes fore more honey, sometimes it needs a firm slap on its nose and its claws pushed back, Moscow might not like Kiev taking action, but it will respect some response, it might have 2nd thoughts about attacking East Ukraine, lets recall the East is majority Ukrainian, the native Russians are a minority, lets hope Kiev follows through, its tanks should not be stopped by single cars, if people will not move then roll over the cars, give the people a chance to get out, but follow through, always follow through with an action.
