NATO military exercises embolden Eastern European countries? Great Russia calmly responded!
The Nordic Response 2024 exercise, organized by NATO, took place in Finland, Norway and Sweden from March 4 to 15, with the participation of more than 20,000 military personnel from 13 countries. Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States are participating in Nordic Response. The countries are expected to send more than 50 ships, including frigates and submarines, and more than 100 fighter jets,** and other aircraft to participate in the exercise.
Then there are 3 questions.
The first question is, why did the NATO military exercise take place in the three Nordic countries? Because Sweden and Finland in the Nordic region have only recently joined NATO. Sweden and Finland joined NATO because they were afraid of Russia. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has lasted for two years, and Sweden and Finland have felt the enormous military pressure from Russia; NATO's military exercises in the three Nordic countries are to play a role in military courage for the three Nordic countries;
The second question is that the countries participating in the military exercises are mainly concentrated in **? And then why these countries? The answer is that this NATO 13** exercise, in addition to Sweden, Finland and Norway, the three Nordic countries where the military exercises are located, the United States and Canada are located on the North American continent. Then the remaining eight countries are located in Western Europe, including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and other traditional European powers. And then almost no NATO countries from Eastern Europe participated! So it becomes clear. Because of their geographical proximity to Russia, the countries of Eastern Europe did not participate in the exercise because they were afraid of Russia. The main role of the military exercises organized by NATO's major powers is not only to embolden the three Nordic countries, but also to embolden the NATO countries in Eastern Europe!
And then the third question is, is Russia afraid of NATO? The answer is that if Russia had been afraid, it would have surrendered long ago! Why wait until now! Since Putin came to power, Russia has gradually lost illusions about joining NATO and the European Union, and Russia has embarked on a path of development on its own! Now Russia has been fighting with Ukraine on Ukrainian soil for two years without collapsing! What's more, don't be afraid of NATO's military exercises without actual combat! And Russia has a big power with heavy weapons and nuclear weapons, which NATO countries, including the United States, dare to fight Russia's idea? Dare to be tough with Russia on Russian soil!
Therefore, this time NATO military exercises in Northern Europe, Russia has long been bored! It's just a breeze to let NATO not act rashly! Today's NATO has expanded to Russia's doorstep, and it is impossible to expand itself. It's almost the end of the road!
