IS uses Burning Video as PR - New War on Terror

Telegraph: Reports " Isil 'broadcast video of pilot burning on giant public screen to young children'..Young boy shown in video saying "I wish to capture pilots and burn them", as leaders across the Middle East condemn the death by burning of a captive Jordanian pilot "

Lets Get Real:

THIS is what makes an IS  a threat, it is creating an informal Islamic State, it has developed government structures to run areas under its control, it is starting its PR with the most youngest in soceity.  In many respects the following the methods of Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia.   Lets recall President Putin still thinks that the loss of the USSR was one of the biggest tragedies of recent history, one wonders when Communism got it hooks in to a young Putin.    The West has to destroy IS, there is no talking to it as some have suggested, they have to placed in the rubbish and buried.   This kind of action will take ground troops, the new Iraqi Army can not take on IS in Mosul, they will need the back of US special forces. The 21st Century has not started well, it seems we have an endless WAR in the Middle East.  

How much TRUTH can a Western Viewer Take - New War on Terror

Guardian: Reports " Fox News is only US media company to display extremely graphic 22-minute video showing Muadh al-Kasasbeh being set on fire and burning to death in a cage "

Lets Get Real:

This blogger has no interest in seeing this disgusting video, that is the the one thing that the mainstream press can do, they can report on it and give commentary.   On the other hand, there will be those that deny that the ACT took place, thus while the footage should not be shown on the 24/7 news channels it should be allowed to be seen, if ONLY to make sure that people in the Middle East see that it took place.   This blog has been clear its opposition to IS and Al Qaeda, but has not shown individual acts, there is no need, we know it happened, but the mind set of the Western viewer is so short that sometimes they need to see the harsh reality of this World. 

US Arms for Ukraine - New US Defence Chief - New Cold War 2

BBC News:  Reports " The White House's pick for defence secretary has said he is "inclined" to send weapons to Ukraine to fight against Russian-backed rebels. "

Lets Get Real:

This shows that the Obama Administration is moving for a tougher line with Russia's Putin.  The problem is that it creates a proxy WAR between the US and Russia.    The Russians of late do not back off, they increase or as our American cousins say they double down on their original policy of taking the action to the West.   The Oval Office and the Kremlin have to make sure that the powers themselves do not get caught up in the fight, that would be a European disaster.   The New Cold War 2 is very frosty these days, the World does not need a hot war. 

Jordan Pilot KILLED by IS - New War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " A video published online by Islamic State (IS) militants claims to show Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh being burned alive. "

Lets Get Real:

This shows if it need showing that Islamic State is a group of low life scum, they burned a pilot alive, it is sick, and shows why IS has to be destroyed root and branch.   IS battle will take years in the view of the Obama Administration, the World can not wait years, any more years and the threat from IS grows, the US took out a IS chemical weapons expert a few days ago, the World has to fear that IS will one day get its hands of WMD, and they will use it, time for the World, through the UN to use the forces of the World not just the UK and the US to take out these terrorist scumbags.  The West can not wait, what happens if IS goes WMD ready. 

Russia PLANS to Annex East Ukraine - The New Cold War 2, Part 2

Guardian: Reports " The public disclosure that the US is considering supplying lethal weaponry to Ukraine in its battle with Russian-backed separatists, reflects heightened American concern that Moscow is intent on carving out an expanded, economically viable enclave.. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russian bear has to be placed back in its box, also a warning sent that the US will not tolerate ANY action on the Baltic States or Poland, it should be recalled that these Countries are part of NATO.  The Obama legacy on Foreign Policy has been a disaster, the US is still in Afghanistan, its back in Iraq, its one success story, Yemen has gone down the toilet.   The Cubans have demanded the return of US Cuban base in Cuba.   Then we come to Iran, the Oval Office will take a BAD deal over no deal.    The next US President, has a lot of work to do to clear the Obama mess, and he has two years to cause more disaster, 12pm, January 20th 2017 can not come fast enough for this blogger. 

US and Russia AT WAR via Ukraine - New Cold War 2

Telegraph: Reports " Threat of proxy war looms as US considers sending arms to Ukraine

Russian troops being killed by US weapons would significantly raise the stakes of the West's standoff with Vladimir Putin "

Lets Get Real:

This IS the time to make the Russian Bear pay for its negative actions in the Crimea and East Ukraine, the Russians are throwing dust at the Oval Office with total contempt as they do not think that POTUS has the backbone to take then on anywhere, they must think that since Obama needs their help with Iran that they have a clear field in East Ukraine.   If the US supplies the Kiev Government with arms it will be a clear warning to the Kremlin not to try something in the Baltic States or Poland.   This crisis alarms this blogger more than IS. 

The Taliban Claim TERROR attack in Kabul - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports on the murder of three US Contractors and one wounded and a Afghan Soldier, the article notes the following, " The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack on Thursday saying a militant infiltrator had carried it out. "

Lets Get Real:

The Taliban can wait out the Obama Administration, they have one PR aim, to make it appear that they chased the US out of Afghanistan as the forefathers had done to the British Empire and the USSR.   The Obama Administration is keeping troops in Afghanistan as it does not want the image of the Taliban walking in victory in to Kabul.   Thus the Obama mistake of not keeping troops in Iraq means that he has to keep Kabul and Afghanistan secure for the new President and US forces.    If Obama lost Iraq and Afghanistan his legacy in World history would be BAD, you do not get reviews if your weak, just ask Jimmy Carter.
