The maneuvers are aimed at keeping Russia from acting in the spirit of the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Twenty thousand American troops in April-May next year will go to Europe, where there will be the largest military exercises on the continent with the participation of the United States since the Cold War.
A senior NATO commander, noting that the US participation is designed to emphasize Washington’s commitment to the Alliance, announced this.
A few days after the NATO summit in London, at which US President Donald Trump condemned European allies with low defense spending, US major General Barre Seguin said that the exercise, which will focus on Germany, would be the largest of its kind in 25 years.
“They will demonstrate transatlantic unity and US commitment to NATO,” Seguin, who oversees allied operations from NATO’s military headquarters in Belgium, told.
To keep Russia from actions in the spirit of the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the US army will test its ability to ship soldiers across the Atlantic to Belgium and the Netherlands with subsequent expeditious redeployment to the East through Germany to Poland and the Eastern flank of NATO.
The soldiers will join US troops stationed on the continent and representatives of the armed forces of 18 NATO allies, after which they will return to the US. In total, about 37 thousand people will take part in the exercises.
Russia is a relatively poor nation which has been subject not only to destructive communism hatched and supported by the London, New York, and Zurich cabal with money, arms, and logistics from 1917 until 1992, but it has been a target of Western nations for its resources and dominating geography over the whole of Asia. It has resisted all onslaughts and by itself ejected the communist masters and their money. The US and NATO-supported sanctions and threats have pushed the nation into closer alliances with all major Asian nations. Despite all of the propaganda and disinformation we are fed (like Russia is a “threat”, or Crimean “annexation” after a US “regime change” of the Ukraine), one good effect of the new polarization is the dashing of the chances of the imposition of a cabal-controlled world government, bank, and currency. Perhaps there is some method to Trump’s seeming madness.
Sounds like a another NATO booze up. Going on the last exercises this should be a hoot.Pubs drunk dry, Ships crashing, NATO rapping and lost tanks ruining farmers lively hoods.
I dunno probably trying to gain a favourable view from RAND or something, maybe trying to get over the humiliation the Houthis gave them.
