What NOW for the Kiev Government - Ukraine Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " Defeated Ukrainians take the 'road of life' on their retreat from Debaltseve..Dispatch: Military disaster for Ukraine as defeated soldiers flee Debaltseve, while pro-Russian rebels raise their flag over the town marking the end of month-long battle "

Lets Get Real:

Thus a victory for the Russian rebels in East Ukraine and for Putin's Russia, the question that has to be asked, could the US have done more, the answer is YES, they could have armed the Kiev Government, the EU could not have taken a policy to appease Russia, and the Army of the Ukraine should not fight in battles that leaves them this exposed and facing defeat.   Thus will the Russians rebels keep to the Minsk peace deal, one would think for a time, they want to regroup and make sure their next push will take more land from the Kiev Government and open a land route to the Crimea.   The US should arm the Kiev Government, but it wont, Obama is weak and Putin's knows how run around him.   The EU will be happy with a peace deal that benefits Russia, they have no backbone, what a say day to be a European. 

US warns Greece - Greek Crisis

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports that the US has warned the Greek Finance  Minister  " ..Yanis Varoufakis that he needs to reach a ‘constructive deal’ soon.."

Lets Get Real:

The Greeks lied to get in to the Euro, the cooked the books, now the chickens have come home and they expect the Germans to pay for the promises of the left wing government in Greece.   As stated a few times either one side blinks and folds or the Greeks are OUT of the Euro.   The pain it would cause Greece would force the EU to bailout them out again, the EU will not see Greek people with no money, that makes BAD TV if good for the ratings and a holiday in Greece.   The Classic Greeks would hold their heads in shame to see present Greece, so is a fudge deal better than no deal, YES for the Greeks, NO from the Germans, the Greeks have not helped themselves by bring up World War 2, that goes down like a tone of bricks in Berlin.   Only the UK can use War guilt on the Germans, we beat them twice, the Greeks had to be saved, there is a difference. 

Greece Latest - Greek Crisis

BBC News: Reports " The European Central Bank has reportedly agreed to raise the emergency funding available to Greek banks to €68.3bn (£50.3bn). "

Lets Get Real:

This is crunch time for Greece and the EU in the shape of Germany, one has to blink or the end result will be Greece out of the Euro, the structure of the Euro under attack and the EU in the end having to support an bankrupt Greece.   If the Greeks leave the Euro it will hurt for a short time, but then Greece can rebuild their economy how they want with their own money.   The time is short, who will blink first, a fudged deal could cause more damage, interesting times for the Greeks, there is talk that they might ask the Russias or China for a better deal, that would be a disaster for the EU, and it would be a victory for either Russia or China, they would have a foot in the EU structure.
