US Preparations For War In Europe
2020:
“Exercise
DEFENDER-Europe 20 is a U.S.-led multinational exercise, including
NATO's participation. It is the largest deployment of U.S.-based forces
to Europe in more than 25 years with 20,000 soldiers deployed directly
from the U.S. to Europe.”
Dynamic Mongoose 20 is a NATO-led
exercise that took place from 29 June to 10 July 2020 in the High North.
Ships, submarines, aircraft and personnel from six Allied nations
(France, Germany, Norway, UK, Canada and USA) exercised off the coast of
Iceland for Anti-Submarine warfare (ASW) and Anti-Surface warfare
training. According to scientists, sonar anti-submarine trainings during
Dynamic Mongoose 20 resulted in disastrous consequences for the
population of whales in the North Atlantic. British zoologists have
recorded the death of at least 29 marine mammals over several weeks
across Europe that caused irreparable damage to the fragile marine
ecosystem.[8]
Six U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bomber
aircraft from the 5th Bomb Wing, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, had
arrived Aug. 22, 2020 at RAF Fairford, England for a long planned
training mission where the aircraft conducted theater and flight
training across Europe and Africa.
The strategic bomber missions
“Bomber Task Force”, which have been occurring since 2018, provide
opportunities for U.S. integration with NATO allies and put pressure on
Russia.
On September 4, the American B-52s entered the airspace
of Ukraine for the first time in history, where they made a long flight
along the borders of the Crimean peninsula.
On Sep. 25, two U.S.
bombers staged a mock attack run on Russia’s territory in Eastern
Europe. The flight path allowed the bombers effectively to fly a circle
around Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave on the Baltic between Poland and
Lithuania. The simulated raid on the Kaliningrad region was a test case
of destroying Russian air defense systems located in the region.[12]
Altogether,
in August-September 2020, American nuclear weapons carriers flew at
least 18 times to Russia's northern, western and southern borders during
the operation, which is an unprecedented event since the end of the
Cold War.
2021:
Defender-Europe 21, one of the largest
U.S.-Army, NATO-led military exercises in Europe in decades, began in
mid-March and will last until June. It included "nearly simultaneous
operations across more than 30 training areas" in Albania, Estonia,
Bulgaria, Romania, Kosovo and other countries.[14][15] Gen. Christopher
G. Cavoli, commanding general of the United States Army Europe and
Africa, said that "While we are closely monitoring the COVID situation,
we’ve proven we have the capability to train safely despite the
pandemic."[14] Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that Russia
has deployed troops to its western borders for "combat training
exercises" in response to NATO "military activities that threaten
Russia."

PS. Redbean's comment.
Such war games must be banned for good. These are highly dangerous and provocative manouvres that could be turned into a real attack on the targeted country at any moment. The pretentious exercises allow the potential aggressor to deploy all his forces and weapons to the frontline without any obstruction.
With today's weapon and their attack range, the weapons can be released 200 miles or more from the target. If the war games are conducted within a few miles of target country, the time taken for a surprise attack is critically reduced to almost instantaneous strike and practically unable to defend against like the above war games and the war games against North Korea and China.
Such war games must be classified as hostile actions and be banned, and countries being targeted should treat them as a hostile act and be allowed to take defensive actions like shooting down approaching ships, aircraft or weapons fired in their direction. Targeted countries are in a very precarious situation seeing hostile aircraft and ships flying towards them and could fire and hit them if they did not shoot them down.
There must be new laws to govern such aggressive war games by aggressive and warmongering countries. Countries must not allow such war games to be held within a 200 miles range from their borders. Such hostile war games are very dangerous and present a clear and present danger to the targeted countries.

Why Is Russia So Worried About Ukraine Joining NATO?
The aggressive and expansionist intention, designs and actions of the Hegemonic Unlawful States of America (USA) is to use NATO as the tool to expand its Hegemony in the World.
Over the last few years, more and more countries that were part of the USSR have been coerced, enticed and trapped into joining NATO.
Out of the 16 countries that serve as a buffer zone between Europe and Russia, 14 of them has already been swallowed by NATO. Not only that, many of those 14 countries have become US and Western military bases.
Such aggressive expansionist actions have caused a geopolitical imbalance and worries Russia no ends.
By absorbing the 14 ex-USSR countries into NATO, the overall strength of the NATO forces and economic might have increased exponentially, putting Putin's defence plan for Russia in an extremely precarious situation.
With the latest US intention and move to make Ukraine join NATO, it leaves no more buffer zone for Russia to react if the US-NATO Forces were to invade Russia at any time.
At present, only Belarus and Ukraine have not become part of NATO YET.
Poland, the neighbouring country closest to Belarus has been very busy, under the instigation and active support of USA and NATO, been constantly causing troubles for Belarus (previously known as Belarussia) in order to coerce it into joining NATO.
At the same time, the US has been instigating, intimidating and brain-washing the present Pro-US Ukrainian leader to become part of NATO.
The intention of the US is to leave Russia with no buffer zone to protect herself from any US-NATO SURPRISE INVASION!
This strategic geopolitucal move by the US will allow the US-NATO forces to attack and invade Russia at short notice, taking Russia by SURPRISE!
'The most nuclear bombed nation on the planet’ is the unwanted accolade claimed by the Shoshone Native American tribe. This has had devastating effects for the community, and RT spoke with one campaigner fighting for justice.
“They are occupying our country, they are stealing our opportunities and we are expected to die because of that. We are still trying to grapple with and understand what happened to us, and find ways to stop it, correct it and prevent it happening in the future.”
Ian Zabarte’s voice is angry but does not falter as he describes the stark fate of his people, Native Americans who for decades have been - by any measure - subjected to the most unimaginable horrors, all perpetrated by their government in Washington.
Zabarte, 57, is the Principal Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation and he is spearheading a campaign to expose what he describes as the “ethnic cleansing” of his tribe.
Shoshone land stretches from Death Valley in the Mojave Desert in eastern California to Yellowstone Park in Wyoming. But in 1951 the US started nuclear weapons testing on Western Shoshone territory, at the Nevada Proving Grounds (now known as the Nevada National Security Site). The Shoshone can now lay claim to be the most nuclear-bombed nation on the planet.
Over a period of just over 40 years, there were 928 tests conducted there – around 100 in the atmosphere and more than 800 underground – resulting in nuclear fallout of around 620 kilotons, according to a 2009 study. In comparison, there were 13 kilotons of fallout when Hiroshima was bombed in 1945.
The strained look on Blinken's face at the UN, when he made the accusation that Russia might create a false flag to start the war in Ukraine, must have been a difficult lie even for him to swallow, knowing that this was the modus operandi of the USA over the decades. It is the USA's trade mark, which he is now trying to pin on Russia.
Russia is reaping in the rewards of the oil price spike, now about US$100 per barrel, amid all the tensions, so why kill the golden goose and start the war to end it all in one short span? Russia will be better to keep prolonging the tension, put pressure on the Europeans and US citizens paying for expensive oil, that will in turn put pressure on their Governments. Who will sit more comfortably amid all this is obvious.
