Federal
judge stalls Obama's executive action on immigration
A federal judge in South Texas on Monday temporarily blocked President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration, giving a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit that aims to permanently stop the orders. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen's decision comes after a hearing in Brownsville in January and puts on hold Obama's orders that could spare as many as five million people who are in the U.S. illegally from deportation.

Ukraine
army, rebels miss deadline to start weapons pullback
ARTEMIVSK, Ukraine (AP) - Ukrainian government troops and Russia-backed rebels failed Tuesday to start pulling back heavy weaponry from the front line in eastern Ukraine as a deadline passed to do so. Under a cease-fire agreement negotiated by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France last week, the warring sides were to begin withdrawing heavy weapons from the front line on Tuesday. Both sides indicated Monday, however, that they would begin the pullout only after the other party does so.

ZERO HEDGE
Greece:
What Happened Today, And What Happens Next. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/16/2015. Ultimately, then, we
are still left with the same three-step process to reach a conclusion to the
Greek crisis.
- Step 1 consists of a request for a new program or an application for a 3rd ESM program with Greece committing to some a prior conditionality.
- Step 2 consists of negotiating the substance around this conditionality, in particular the prior actions that would need to be fulfilled to disburse funding to Greece.
- Step 3 would consist of passing such prior actions through the Greek parliament and ultimately servicing Greece's loan obligations.
The more each of these steps is delayed, the shorter the
timespans available and the greater the risks of failure.

Ron
Paul Warns "US Militarism Will End One Way Or Another...". Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 02/16/2015. This militarism
will end one way or the other. Either enough Americans will wake up and
demand an end to Washington’s foreign adventurism, or we will go broke and be
unable to spend another fiat dollar on maintaining the global US empire.

The
US Vs. China: A Study In Opposites. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/16/2015 In the 40 years since US President Richard Nixon made
what was then considered a bold move, visiting Mao Zedong in Communist China,
both countries have changed dramatically. The US has become increasingly
socialistic, more focused on Big Government and more of a totalitarian state;
shifting from the world’s foremost creditor nation to the world’s foremost
debtor nation. By contrast, China has opened up considerably, with billions of
people becoming upwardly mobile, in response to China becoming more
capitalistic. Increasingly, the US is acting like a country in decline,
whilst China is acting like a country on the rise.

USA
Is The 16th Best Place To Be Born In The World. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/16/2015. In
1988, America was the best place to be born in the world. Based on The
Economist Intelligence Unit's quality-of-life index - which links the
results of subjective life-satisfaction surveys (how happy people say they are)
to objective determinants of the quality of life across countries - USA was
#1. Fast forward 25 years or so... and The United States now ranks 16th,
just above South Korea and just below Taiwan and Belgium

EU
Leaders "Are Afraid The Syriza 'Virus' Will Spread Across Europe".
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/16/2015. As anti-austerity
protests continue to build in numbers across Europe (and not just in Spain
where Podemos now holds a commanding poll lead over the status quo) KeepTalkingGreece
reports that Greek parliamentary spokesman for Syriza, Nikos Filis notes "The
wave of protests indicates a new beginning... And it scares the dominant forces
in Europe. Because Syriza virus can spread and in their communities."
And we suspect that is indeed the Eurogroup's greatest fear...
