9:21 Who is in control of NATO? NATO is a very loose treaty, the only binding part is Article 5 which is really vague. However it is clear NATO is a democratic institution and Blinken cannot give orders to NATO countries, though he can make metaphoric suggestions. Not even Kamala Harris can give orders to NATO. Not even Biden.
Countries following Blinken's suggestion may get in trouble and people should read the Article 5 carefully before making up their minds. Haven't heard in the news of any meeting or decision of the Security Council. As i said, i suspect this war may be a trap for NATO countries like Romania who don't really have a military force, not even like Ukraine. Probably the only reason Romania was accepted in NATO.
Who is Blinken and Putin? Two Hungarians, a poet and a judo fighter. After the main purpose of the pandemic failed, and that was to make people forget who is in charge of all positions in the whole world, they organized a fake war.
They educated people in Russia for decades or centuries to accept an autocratic power, where people believe that men in charge like Putin can do whatever they want. But what happens if an adventurer gets in power at Kremlin? In the West, people have been educated to accept adventurers as leaders who never agree with each others, who can make suggestions that to some may resemble orders but they never have to kind of power Putin has.
10:45 I wrote yesterday about Spirit Mountain Casino having over 1000 security cameras for a number of approx. 24500 machines and a similar rate of occupancy. They have several free soda machines, and you can get water whenever you want at one of the machines. I don't know and don't care how many cameras are at Ilany where i've been last night, but they have an occupancy rate of 10000 and there's only one soda machine where you can get sparkling water, and that one is now attended and if you go there you get to talk to an unknown, masked person who can start a whole conversation or you can ask again the floating attendants who carry small bottles of free water (looking for tips of course) but those are not easy to find, especially when you need one. Or, you can adventure yourself and go to the bar and stand there again next to many unknown masked persons and ask there for water. They were times when they had water fountains and barrels with water bottles everywhere but those times are now gone. Some could stay i should have stayed home but there are only so many days one can stay put in a place like this. This morning i had about half hour of loud exhaust idling, and there is a guy coughing his lungs out in the next apartment. Slammed doors, barking dogs and children yelling almost all the time. And the guy upstairs of course.
4:05 I don't know if anybody noticed this declaration of Putin, featured in eastern countries like China and India. One of the major objectives of Putin in Ukraine has been achieved.
So much for Poland or anybody giving planes to Ukraine. Like in the case of Afghanistan, where Taliban where taking for a spin US abandoned planes, Ukraine though they might have trained pilots, they can't really use them more than one mission or two, after which they will need of course maintenance and they don't have any capacity left, even if they had the maintenance facility for the exact same variants of (Soviet) planes Poland has. So Poland will need to maintain those unless there will shortly become useless.
The other major Russian objective is recognition of annexation of Ukraine. But what will Putin do, stay in Ukraine until that happens? Honestely, never heard in the whole recent (20th century and beyond) of a war for "demilitarization purposes" or a war to get an annexation of a territory recognized.
Putin apparently has been using oil money to get new missile systems, that BTW do not seem so performant since they can bee seen flying cruising over the cities of Ukraine.
But if another country like Poland takes the bait, he might get the pretext now he has the momentum to go and try to fully restore Soviet Union. That is before NATO Security Council can or want to meet.
Just to reestablish the post WWII authoritarian order in the eastern Europe Hungary was feeling more comfortable with.
