Uh, that’s what militaries do. Rehearse for war.
Pure Bullsh!t. The “No Cajones” rulers in DC will opt for cream puffs at five paces...just the way they did over The Crimea.
The article in full mentions Sweden hosting practice amphibious landings and describes them as a NATO ally. Like France and Finland (historically speaking a very touchy point for Russia) it’s not really a member of the alliance. Russia running ops near and within Swedish airspace and waters, and making not so quiet noises about retaking the Baltics, is pushing “neutrals” like Sweden and Finland into a sort of quasi-membership, “mutual assistance” alliance with NATO. Good job, Putin.
This is nuts. When is Europe going to take care of itself? Why are we pimping with a nuclear power? Why are we looking at sending more troops anywhere while our own borders are wide open and we’re being invaded by third world hordes and Muslims, who want to force us all to convert? And then there is the fact that the US is broke and the debt keeps getting worse.
Yes, just what we need - spend more money, get involved in another war, put even greater burdens on our military - and all for the Europeans who do nothing but take our support and sneer at us at all times. Brilliant.
