Ukraine 'Slipping Out of Control', Germany Warns

The crisis in eastern Ukraine is "slipping out of control" and needs to be reined in to avoid direct military confrontation between Ukraine and Russia, Germany has warned.

Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke as the EU is poised to consider more sanctions on Russia.

Russia has denied claims by Nato that its forces illegally crossed into Ukraine to support separatists there.

Some 2,600 people have died in fighting between rebels and Ukrainian troops.

Obama is an open borders kind of guy and Putin appreciates the lack of borders too.

Why should he when no plan is forthcoming from the White House?

Obama is hanging himself now that Congress is adjourned because he's being forced into a role that he cannot fulfill...leader.

With all the trashing Obama has done of the House, why should they help him out?

No conservative is in the mood to help Obama.

He’s made it clear the world is fine as it is and there is no reason to do something for him on the “water’s edge.”

After liberals made that a political football during the Bush years, its justified payback.
