It’s official–Russia invades Ukraine.  Now you know why I have led every Wrap-Up with Ukraine.   I have been predicting wider war in Ukraine, and now we have one.  The President said in a press conference that there is not going to be a military response to this escalation, but my sources say the U.S. has been covertly helping the Ukrainians.  How do you think they have been able to overtake the pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine?  Looks like Vladimir Putin has had enough and is now directly involved with his military.  The Ukrainians have reinstated the draft; so, don’t think this is going to blow over quickly.  Even though Ukraine is not a NATO country, you can count on U.S. and NATO help to intensify.  How can bankrupt Ukraine expect to fight the Russian military?  It cannot do it without big time help, and it will be provided.  President Obama said he was going to ask European members of NATO for more sanctions, but sanctions will make an already bad economy in Europe even worse.  Maybe this is why the number two at the Fed, Stanley Fischer, was outlining bank bail-ins in a speech two weeks ago.  Haven’t we been told over and over again that the economy was in“recovery”?  Why lay out an official plan for bailing out systemically important banks now?  War will implode the economy, and a big one is coming.

Meanwhile, in the Middle East, everyone is talking about ISIS or ISIL or, simply, the Islamic State.  The Islamic State has taken over large parts of Iraq and Syria.  Now, the Islamic State is threatening the Golan Heights on the Northern Israeli border.  The President said in a press conference he “did not have a strategy” for dealing with the Islamic State.  What???  This after the Secretary of Defense and the head of the Joint Chiefs gave a press conference that said the Islamic State was an“imminent threat” and that IS was “not like anything we have seen.”  How could the President go on television and look any weaker and more disconnected?  The President may not have a plan, but they surely do.
