U.S. B-52 bombers and around 60 other aircraft are taking part in NATO’s weeks-long nuclear exercise, which kicks off on Monday amid Russian threats of nuclear war.

According to a statement by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), 14 countries and up to 60 aircraft will take part in the nuclear exercise known as “Steadfast Noon.” A NATO official said part of the exercise would be held more than 625 miles from Russia, VOA reported.

NATO described the exercise as “a routine, recurring training activity” that is “not linked to any current world events.”

I guess they didn’t go with operation “Greasy Weiner” as had been expected.

NATO provocation is as evident today as it’s always been. May the entire organization collapse in a steaming pile.

Nothing like flying around nuke delivery systems minutes from potential targets in an active war zone to diminish tensions or likelihood of accidents. Or itchy trigger fingers.

Wondering if any got close enough to the Uke border to get lit up by targeting radar?

Excellent. Good job , Nato. Except I wish it had been closer to the Russian border. Nuclear threats go both ways.

B 52’s are nice, fat, relatively slow targets for the Russians to shoot down if they want to.

While I think involvement will ultimately be a costly mistake I must admit this is better than the usual headline of Russia doing it to us.

I guess that Russian turbo prop radar magnet of theirs is better?

#6: "NATO provocation is as evident today as it's always been. May the entire organization collapse in a steaming pile."

NATO is the military arm of the New World Order, Klaus Schwab's Wehrmacht for the 21st Century.

NATO's annual nuclear exercise gets underway:

Air forces from across NATO will exercise nuclear deterrence capabilities involving dozens of aircraft over north-western Europe starting on Monday (17 October 2022). The exercise, which runs until 30 October, is a routine, recurring training activity and it is not linked to any current world events. "Steadfast Noon" is the regularly scheduled nuclear readiness exercise. That means it happens every year.
The Russians know it happens every year. The news knows it happens every year.

The only ones "provoked" are the hyperbolic new media looking to meet a deadline.

None of this would be happening with Trump as president.

B 52s cannot operate with gravity weapons without air superiority. They do have stand off weapons and can hold there own but still....

The CIA, DNI and the DIA all warn the Armageddon scenario is quite possible.

And USA/NATO are pushing for it and here you are cheering them on. What is wrong with you?
