On the apparently belated lowering of the level in the Khakovka reservoir: ZNPP uses this for cooling water so perhaps RF had the flood risk in mind when they decided to do a cold shutdown of ZNPP, which would then allow to safely lower Kakhovka reservoir if necessary. Posted by: anon2020 | Oct 23 2022 7:34 utc | 401 RB @ 402 Posted by: Paulg | Oct 23 2022 7:40 utc | 402 Lovers of unintentional humour from NATO bigwigs should google DW Conflict Zone Jens Soltenberg interview. The event took place on October 19, 2022. Sarah Kelly interviewed the NATO ‘boss’ to get his thoughts on the half-assed Ukraine debacle. Ms Kelly asked a lot of embarrassing questions and ‘boss’ Stoltenberg gave a lot of delightfully vague and evasive answers. I dunno who is in charge of NATO’s war in Ukraine, but it’s hard to believe it could be Mr Stoltenberg. Posted by: Hoarsewhisperer | Oct 23 2022 7:42 utc | 403 Kareem 309 is totally right.

The Quisling is smart enough to be responsible for his crimes, but he is ultimately a compromised puppet that does what he is told to do.

Posted by: Don T | Oct 23 2022 9:13 utc | 412 No one has rebuilt Iraq, or Libya, or Syria, or Afghanistan, not Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, or Yugoslavia either. Nor Somalia, Kenya, the Congo, Chad, Pakistan, or the Maghreb / Sahel. Not in Uganda, Haiti or Kosovo. The west including Europe and Nato never rebuild anything they promise to properly.

I find it odd that this is Russia’s first attempt at satellite broadband though. Posted by: Arch Bungle | Oct 23 2022 11:04 utc | 425 People thinking the airborne McDonalds in the number of 1000 will “take” Odessa are using too much weed.

Having learned not a single lesson from the 20 years of failure that characterize their foreign policy, they continue on. Perhaps they’ll send the other portions of the 101st to Taiwan. As any serious strategist knows, fighting a war on two fronts when both are half a world a way is the recipe for success and displaying the “full spectrum dominance” of the hegemon.

It must be quite brave to be ‘stationed’ in some of the NATO countries, but would it have the guts to fight a real fight? The US and its so-called army are just hot air! Posted by: Paulg | Oct 23 2022 12:54 utc | 443 The 101 is highly unlikely to enter Ukraine as, as far as I see it and I might be wrong, the moment their first boot hits the ground as the initiator of a conflict event, Article 5 goes out the window and Russia can attack mainland US or ships (but probably not the US on non US territory) without NATO blowback. Posted by: JohninMK | Oct 23 2022 13:01 utc | 444 You cannot hold ground with light infantry against artillery and Ka-52.
