Reading between the lines of the Blinken visit: 2 scenarios..

1/ the yanks are concerned at the pace of the counter-offensive and are looking to hand ultimatums to Kyiv

2/ the yanks were behind the dismissal of the Ukrainian defence minister and want to takeover control of the counter offensive and the Washington puppet Umerov's appointment as defence minister is the clue to that

80% approval rating for him in Russia.

Rubbish like Macron, Sunak would be delighted with 30%

The Russians like strong authoritarian leaders.

This notion of 'democracy' (a sham in any case, here or there) seducing the Russians is laughable. They have a vastly different evolution to modernity we have had in the west. Same as the Middle East. But the west will continue to try and impose it's big stupid empire building plans on those regions.

The NATO response force currently consists of approx 50K

This force consists of land, air, naval and spec ops assets. It is by nature a multi-national rapid deployment force under a single command structure (SACEUR).

This force is highly capable and trains constantly - in the event of a full scale war with Russia they would be able to deploy completely in 5-10days. Obviously NATO can then draw on the military resources of each member state to feed into theatre as it sees fit.

Given the current state of the Russian army the NRF would wipe the floor with Putin’s scruffs without the need for further backup.

300K 🤣🤣🤣 Raw conscripts, press-ganged Cubans and fat knackered criminals. Against a highly trained, professional force they’d get a right kicking.

Having denied that Robotyne had been taken Reuters reports….

A Russian-appointed official has acknowledged that Moscow's forces have abandoned the Ukrainian village of Robotyne, more than a week after Kyiv announced its recapture.
Yevgeny Balitsky, the top Moscow-installed official in the Zaporizhzhia region, said in a television interview that the Russian army had withdrawn for what he called tactical reasons.
