We ought to get out of NATO simply because we are footing over half of it.

As far is Russia is concerned, here is the reason why Russia has made this move to withdraw from the west bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson Oblast. The Dnieper river is big and wide. It provides logistical problems for Russia on the west bank. This area west of the river is open steppe country. Russia is wisely uses the east bank as the demarcation line for defense.

Three influential effects will happen as a result of Russia's move. First, recognize the goal is to win the war. Never fight a battle when it risks losing a large number of personnel and equipment. Battles need to be fought strategically and this sometimes means withdrawing from territory that provides too much risk for supplies and personnel and repositioning them to other areas. The west bank of the Dnieper river poses such a problematic strategy.

The UkoNazis have been planning an offensive in the region. Many of their troops have been moved here readying for their planned Kherson offensive. In response, Russia wisely is avoiding a bloody conflict to which military personnel would be lost and instead reestablished a fairly impenetrable defense on the east bank of the Dnieper River. This move avoids the Russian military on the west bank from being cut off from supplies and reinforcements. The logistics for adequately supplying the west bank Russian military is very difficult.

The 2nd influential effect will be the immediate consequence of the media response being bad for Russia publicity wise. However, the 3rd influential effect will be this strategy is actually very wise for the longer term both in strategy and PR because the action of withdrawing Russian troops from the west bank will allow many of these troops to be redeployed in the Donetsk and Luhansk region. As a result, the Uko forces will decouple their offensive in the Kherson region. No battle will occur there. Russia simply withdraws temporarily.

The objective is to reinforce the territory already controlled with military personnel. The Russian offensive will occur in the Donesk and Luhansk regions because the logistics there is so much easier for Russia to supply with armaments. Once the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts are 'filled' out and the remaining territory taken, the focus will turn to the Zaporizhzhia Oblast and a return to the Kherson Oblast. In the end, the long term objective is sound. However, the short-term media response will be bad for Russia and will only encourage the West and NATO.
