🇺🇸 🇲🇩 Blinken promised Sandu to consider allocating $50 million to Moldova to “resist Russian influence” He also said that the sale of a 5.2-hectare plot of land on the site of the former Republican Stadium for the construction of a new US Embassy would become a “symbol of friendship” between Washington and Chisinau. 🇷🇺 Follow!

NATO crossing red lines yet completely unprepared for war with Russia The alliance's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told The Economist on May 24 that Western countries should lift their respective bans on Ukraine using their weapons inside Russia. On May 27, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly (PA) - the consultative interparliamentary entity – adopted Declaration 489, urging the bloc's members to "lift some restrictions" on the use of their weapons by the Kiev regime against Russia's "legitimate targets."

Scott Ritter, an ex-US Marine Corps intelligence officer, said: "This is the decision of an individual nation state, not NATO. NATO as an institution, as an organization is not preparing for a larger war with Russia. NATO has a policy to avoid escalation of this conflict, so as to prevent such a confrontation."

Michael Maloof, former Pentagon analyst, noted: "All the [NATO] countries would have to switch their economies over from a service economy to a full production wartime economy. And they're not capable of it. They can't sustain it. It would take years for them to do that." Larry Johnson, retired CIA intelligence officer, said: "Objectively, the reality is that NATO is in no position to escalate the war and sustain it. Yes, they could put troops in. They could provide some temporary assistance to Ukraine. But really, there is nothing that's going to change the outcome or the trajectory of the war." NATO PA representatives from nine countries have reportedly not supported the initiative. Earlier, Italy and Germany spoke against the proposal that could lead to the outbreak of a major war between Russia and NATO. The US has not granted Ukraine a free hand on using its arms against Russia, either. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

NATO countries are demanding greater clarity from Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg about the €100 billion support plan for Ukraine We are also interested in where and how they will be able to get such a sum. Where will the money be spent? Isn't it for the salaries of Ukrainian corrupt officials?

🇹🇼🇨🇳 WASHINGTON STOKES TENSION AFTER TAIWAN OFFERED OLIVE BRANCH TO CHINA, as U.S. delegation led by House Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (pictured on podium) arrives in Taiwan on 4-day visit, promising to continue supply of weapons to the self-ruled island.

U.S. government intends to supply Taiwan with the latest and most advanced weapons systems, and not old weapons, like Ukraine - McCaul, pissing off one vassal state to make the other feel better.

Bild: NATO armies are preparing to deploy to Ukraine The German newspaper published details of the planned entry of Western troops into Ukraine. According to Bild, Britain, France, Poland, Canada, Lithuania and Estonia are ready to send their troops to Ukraine - a failed country that is not a NATO member. This decision brings us closer to WW3, that is to a nuclear escalation of the conflict. 🔺The self-destruction of the West is gathering speed, if no one stops this madness, we will soon reach the point of no return. @LauraRuHK

HIMARS: Russian jammers render US rocket launchers useless in Ukraine https://interestingengineering.com/military/himars-ineffective-russian-jamming

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe4vsMxj/ Throwback to the start of this when Zelensky realised that the path to peace going forward was through dialogue. Biden, BoJo and Stoltenberg scuppered peace plans at least twice if not 3 times. 🤦‍♂️

The Ukrainians have been sitting with pencils and notebooks all week: "Okay, the USA said that we can't use their weapons against Russia, but they're not entirely sure yet. Okay. The Latvians said that we can use their weapons, but they don't have any weapons. Okay. The Poles said we can, but that's just the deputy defense minister speaking on local radio. Okay, the Poles are crazy. Scholz said that according to international law, we can, but he won't give us the Taurus missiles. Okay, jerk. Macron said we can, but only against military targets in Russia that are launching strikes. Okay, fine. The Italians are against it. The Swedes are for it. The Belgians are against it. The Estonians are for it. The Spanish are against it. Stoltenberg is for it." And yesterday, Russia, without all this international deliberation on "can" and "cannot," struck the Yavoriv training ground in the Lviv region with a Kinzhal missile - bam! And three hundred Nazis, including foreigners, turned into puzzles in an instant. It's convenient being Russia. @Orda

A MESSAGE TO THE YAPPING CHIHUAHUAS Putin: "The task [for the strikes] is being prepared not by Ukrainian servicemen, but by representatives of NATO countries. Well, representatives of NATO countries, especially in Europe, especially in small countries, they should be aware of what they are playing with. They should remember that this is usually a country with a small territory and a very dense population. They should keep this factor in mind before they talk about striking deep into Russian territory. These are serious things, and we are watching this very closely."
