UKRAINE – AT 9:31 A.M. ET:  Remember the cease-fire in Ukraine that started last weekend?  I think it lasted a minute.  Haven't heard much from Field Marshal Obama about this.  He's been busy this week explaining Islam to we ignorants. 

But I've noticed that even some of the leftish news organizations in Britain have started to wake up to reality about Russia, and sometimes even about the Mideast.  There is reason for Europe and Britain to be frightened.  From BBC: 

The UK and the EU have been accused of a "catastrophic misreading" of the mood in the Kremlin in the run-up to the crisis in Ukraine.

The House of Lords EU committee claimed Europe "sleepwalked" into the crisis.

The EU had not realised the depth of Russian hostility to its plans for closer relations with Ukraine, it said.

It comes as French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke about the crisis at a joint news conference in Paris.

The committee's report said Britain had not been "active or visible enough" in dealing with the situation in Ukraine.

And...

The report claimed that for too long the EU's relationship with Moscow had been based on the "optimistic premise" that Russia was on a trajectory to becoming a democratic country.

The result, it said, was a failure to appreciate the depth of Russian hostility when the EU opened talks aimed at establishing an "association agreement" with Ukraine in 2013.

It coincides with European Council president Donald Tusk calling Prime Minister David Cameron to discuss how the EU should respond to ongoing violence in eastern Ukraine.

COMMENT:  Obama grew up in a pro-Marxist family.  His father's background was Muslim.  Notice which forces are rising in the world on his watch.  Notice the lack of reporting of same.
