IS Power on the Wane ? - New War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " Kurdish fighters in northern Syria say they have captured a key town from Islamic State, just 50km (30 miles) from the group's headquarters at Raqqa. "

Lets Get Real:

This is good news from the Syrian front when it comes to IS, the Kurds with the help of US air forces are gaining ground once held by IS, it is a slow operation but with air cover the Kurds have the best chance of removing IS as a threat from Syria.    The West and Kurds on on one side and Assad and Iran/Russia on the other should be able over time to kill IS and remove a threat from the Middle East and Europe.   Although this is a victory, the West air forces should move to allow the Kurds to remove IS, thus the need for on ground forces to tell the pilots what to hit and when, but on the whole good news. 

The Greek Trojan Fudge - Greek Crisis

Telegraph - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.18pm post the following,  " What's in the Greek deal?

Paul Mason of Channel 4 news, is a man with the inside track on all things Syriza. He's in Athens, and has been briefed on what exactly the Greeks have put on the table. From the looks of things, Mr Tsipras has managed to preserve his "red lines" on VAT on electricity and medicines, in return for changing the nature of the employment contributions made to pensions. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus another fake deal by the EU, the other Countries who have been in trouble or will be in trouble will ask for more money with even less restrictions, the Germans by taking this deal have agreed to become the BANK FOR THE EU, money out and no money back in, they become an economic empire but with the outcome that they will have to support left wing governments in other Countries making promises based on money from the Germans.   The Germans have tied themselves to a dead donkey who died of drinking to much welfare. 

Greece LIVES for a day - Greek Crisis

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.15pm post  " Greece’s economy minister, Giorgos Stathakis, has told the BBC that he believes Athens’ new proposals have broken the deadlock...And he also reckons that European leaders will reflect that in their communique tonight.  "

Lets Get Real:

Another EU fudge, this issue is being kicked in to the long grass again, it will back to haunt the EU and Greece.  The EU can not face the real world, the EURO can not work with Greece and other poor Countries in it, the Germans benefit at the cost of others, nothing new there!   The problem with the Euro is that it is a political project, J.R Ewing would have closed down Greece ages ago as the cost to the whole was not the worth the effort.    Thus we for another crisis down the line, poor EU for having poor leaders and just poor Greece for being poor  Greece. 

Greece is in the DOCK - Greek Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Greece faces a critical 24 hours as European leaders hold an emergency summit that could break the deadlock around the country's debt crisis. "

Lets Get Real:

Please EU finish this mess for Greece, the Country is an economic basket case of the first order, time to cut the cord and let Greece leave the Euro.   The economic ramifications will be bad for the rest of the Eu and Euro Countries but not as bad as five years ago when we first faced this mess.   The Greeks HAVE become dependent on the State and to think this was the Country that gave the history the Trojan horse, were have the intelligent leaders gone, poor, time to find your proper place within the Eu and Euro, at the end of the day Greece could become a province of Germany, if the Germans pay the piper they should get the assets, that means Greece the whole lot. 

The Greeks KEEP their Euro Money - Greek Crisis

Telegraph: Reports in its 2.20 post the following, " Uncertainty over Greece's future in the euro has not just hit bank deposits. The level of unpaid taxes also also risen in May, rising to €1bn last month. This takes the total outstanding unpaid tax bill to more than €5bn for the year "

Lets Get Real:

The Greeks can see that the Ship that is Greece is heading for the rocks, when you have a failed economy with no money there are wild times to face.   Thus expect capital controls over money being taken out of Greece, expect Greeks to hide their money from the government, civil unrest could break out between the left and right, and the poor and rich. Greece is a classic example of a State that has a welfare system and how that has sunk the Country.   Poor Greeks, Poor Greeks. 

Greeks GET YOUR CASH NOW! - Greek Crisis

Guardian: Reports " European Central Bank agrees emergency funding for Greece...According to Reuters, when asked whether the banks would be open on Friday, ECB executive board member Benoit Coeure said: “Tomorrow yes. Monday I don’t know.”  "

Lets Get Real:

GREEKS GET YOUR MONEY OUT NOW!, If your on holiday in Greece, make sure you have plenty of cash for the week, the banks could be closed next week, what ever happens is not going to be good, of course the EU could try to throw this in to the long grass, just give enough for Greece to get along for a month or two before we are back here again, Greece was in crisis in 2010 before the UK election and now five years to the month we have the same problem.   Suggestion, if you going to Greece on holiday try to change, the Country could fall apart and fast.   People without money do wild things. 

5 Minutes Past Midnight for the Greek Economy - Greek Crisis

The Daily Mail: Reports " 'The beginning of the end of the eurozone': Greek PM predicts his nation's 'Grexit' will cause the COLLAPSE of Europe's currency  "

Lets Get Real:

The question is EU serious about the Euro, if it is as weak as the Greek PM feels it is good that its starts its decline and put in the failure box.   The question is will the rich Countries, such as Germany and France allow the Euro to fail, but if they grant the request of the Greeks, every other Country in trouble will be demanding that the German tax payer pays for the political promises of the left.   The Euro was a political idea that has failed, when something fails you accept it and move on, if the EU can not change with events it will fall like the Euro.   Who will pay the bills of the Greeks?.
