Leftist Syriza party set to win Greek vote, setting up showdown with Europe The party has ridden a wave of voter exasperation among Greeks fed up after five years of extreme austerity that left the country with 25 percent unemployment and 3 million people living at or below the poverty line. And while the current center-right government was able to eliminate the annual deficit through deep cuts in public spending, public debt remains at a crippling 175 percent of gross domestic product. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/leftist-syriza-party-set-to-win-greek-vote-setting-up-showdown-with-europe/2015/01/23/a2a9cbe2-a0b5-11e4-91fc-7dff95a14458_story.html

Obama is a ZERO sometimes better be quiet and do more, instead he talks a lot and does nothing of substance, and boots on the ground is not the answer. There are so many other passive ways aside from aggressive military action Even an selfish buffon like Netanyahu disregards him.

EU Ministers to Hold Emergency Meeting on Ukraine (people are maimed and die and diplomats talk - disgraceful - Saturday's missile strike hit a residential area, killing 30 and wounding about 100. Monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said the missiles came from rebel-held territory, but separatists denied responsibility) 25-Jan-2015 By Matthew Dalton And Laurence Norman BRUSSELS--European Union foreign ministers will gather here in an emergency meeting on Thursday to discuss the EU's response to an assault by Russian-backed rebels on the southeastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, EU Foreign Affairs Chief Federica Mogherini said on Twitter on Sunday. The ministers will likely discuss whether to tighten sanctions against Russia for the attack, which killed dozens of civilians on Saturday in the strategically important port city on the Sea of Azov, officials said. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier over the weekend said in response to the attack that governments need to know more about whether Moscow is trying to rein in the rebels or not. Mariupol is near territory controlled by the rebels in the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces of eastern Ukraine, but Ukrainian forces have managed to retain control of the city since fighting in the country erupted nearly a year ago. The attack came a day after the pro-Russian separatists announced they were pulling out of peace talks and launching a new offensive. Saturday's attack, the deadliest in terms of civilian losses in the region in months, signaled a possible escalation in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, where a September cease-fire deal has never really taken hold.

Presumably the F-bomber and Klutzy Kerry did not go to Kiev to do that: <"We are deeply concerned about the latest break in the ceasefire and the aggression that these separatists - with Russian backing, Russian equipment, Russian financing, Russian training and Russian troops - are conducting," Obama said. "I have been very clear that it would not be effective for us to engage in a military conflict with Russia on this issue. But what we can do is continue to support Ukraine’s ability to control its own territory.> So the USA can continue to support Ukraine with USA backing, USA equipment, USA financing, USA training and ... oh, it's almost the same, just as the USA has done so often before in Vietnam and elsewhere with "advisors" which very often turned into actual boots on the ground, with or without UN agreement. Hyprocrisy writ large. The Ukraine war was started by the F-bomber backing the overthrow of the president of Ukraine. The barbarians continue the carnage instead of calling for a Scottish or Quebec style vote on independence for eastern Ukraine. Are they in favour of democracy or not? Obviously not. They even refuse to consider the referendum that was taken in Crimea or polls in eastern Ukraine. They are disgusting murderous criminals. The Prosecutie should be presented with the F-bomber at Den Hague criminal court. Mqurice
