NATO has launched what it’s calling its "largest deployment exercise" in history, aimed at sending a message to countries like Russia that it "is ready to defend every inch of Allied territory."

The two-week long "Air Defender" exercise is set to run until June 23 and will involve 25 countries, 10,000 personnel and 250 aircraft, according to NATO.

"Air Defender is necessary because we live in a more dangerous world," NATO spokesperson Oana Lungescu said in a statement. "As we face the biggest security crisis in a generation, we stand united to keep our countries and our people safe."

the US military’s emphasis on climate change, white supremacy and pronouns sends a larger message to Russia....

Curiously, no Air Force-type exercise of this size has ever been held in Europe (even back in the 1980s).

Biden’s house of cards seems to be starting to fall. He needs a MAJOR distraction, a war would do it. A BIG war to get the focus off his criminal shennanigans. We will all pay the price for Slow Joe’s corruption.

Why are you rooting against America. The Russian Air Force message of bombing civilians, shooting down their own planes and backing a Stalinist dictator is worse.

Ukraine is one thing but Biden will need a bigger Wag The Dog if the revelations into the Biden Crime Family crimes get any closer.

Shouldn’t the message be directed towards China?

Oh, sorry. I forgot. We already surrendered to the CCP.

What’s the message? Do our delusional leaders think they can use it to attack Russia and escape retaliation?

You are just another Ukrainian Nazi supporter and can understand that America has zero national interests in Ukraine. You rather support another endless war than maintain American military strength and fiscal sanity. Go away.

Some will pay the ultimate sacrifice because of him. May his name be stricken from every paper, monument and lip.
