NOVOSIBIRSK, March 11 (RIA Novosti) - A major one-week military exercise will be held in southwest Siberia later this month, regional military officials said on Wednesday.

The exercise will take place March 16-23 in the Kemerovo region and involve more than 5,000 personnel and up to 400 armored vehicles.

The drills, under the command of Gen. Vladimir Boldyrev, chief of Russia's Ground Forces, will also involve ground attack, fighter and reconnaissance aircraft, and combat and transport helicopters.

The units involved in the exercise will, among other things, practice interoperability and transfer from a peacetime to wartime footing.

They’re just practicing to attack through Alaska and the East Coast.

Nothing here.

Walk on by.

The Russians are far more worried about the Chinese designs on Siberia than on attacking Alaska.

I’m convinced that Dimitru Duduman’s dreams and visions are from God and accurate.

They will still cooperate toward the conquest of the USA according to their script given them by the globalist oligarchy literally from hell.

Prepare.

Pray.

Prayers will not prevent at this point. They may delay and lessen the severity.

Maybe.

Seems kind of small. It would be a lot more interesting if they were massing and training in Dagestan and a coup was happening in Azerbaijan while Israel was prepping to deliver a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
