LATVIA | NATO has launched yet another war game intended to flex their muscle against Russia. Operation Saber Strike is in full effect. The exercises include over 6,000 multi-national forces spread across four nations - Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland. The United States, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania the United Kingdom and Estonia are among the 13 participating nations.
The opening ceremony for Saber Strike 2015 took place in Pabrade Lithuania.
After reviewing the troops Maj. Gen. Leika and Maj. Gen. McQueen spoke to the troops about the mission.
An ongoing annual military drill since 2010, Saber Strike kicks off as an unstable cease fire clings to relevance between Ukraine and Russia.
As tension mounts in the region the military buildup continues as NATO is takes delivery of its new war toy: The Global Hawk. NATO has secured 5 of the these drones to patrol the skies and nations of Europe.
War rhetoric from both sides isn't serving to ease tension. As we've reported NATO's Jens Stoltenberg declared Russia a threat to European security while Russia's Vladimir Putin declared Stoltenberg "insane".
NATO Czech general Pavel, warned Western leaders in late May of his concern that NATO is not fully ready to respond to military action by Putin. He feared: "Russia could seize the Baltic countries in two days." and "NATO wouldn't be able to react to the situation in that time."
Due to NATO’s inability to respond quickly is forcing NATO to "weigh its positions regarding whether it would start a war - MAYBE EVEN A NUCLEAR WAR - against Russia for the Baltic STATES. "
In April, a month earlier, at a meeting in Germany, Putin's Russia threatened a “spectrum of responses from nuclear to non-military” if NATO continued to build up military forces in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
Russian officials added that any attempts to give Crimea back to Ukraine would be met “forcefully including through the use of nuclear force”.
Not backing down, Operation Saber Strike is readying NATO forces for possible conflict with Russia, creating the conditions Russia said would initiate the “spectrum of responses from nuclear to non-military.”
Domestically, mass casualty exercises are taking place in Hawaii and Arizona, live ordinance urban warfare training is taking place in Flint Michigan, the largest war game exercise is taking place in Colorado, Marines are training for riot control in Virginia, local SWAT teams in both Indiana and South Carolina are cross training with the military, and the start of Jade Helm 15 is just weeks away.
As the drumbeat to World War 3 gets louder we're tracking the armies of the world to Keep you informed that we may avoid such conflict.
In a scene that could have been pulled from the movie Red Dawn, the Marines of Special-Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force-New York landed on the baseball diamond of the Orange Avenue School in New Jersey.
And with parents and teachers in tow smiling students adorned military hardware and toured the weapons of war.
Clearly conditioning the public to accept a military presence when the collapse occurs, this public school landing was only one part of a larger annual East Coast domestic military exercise consisting of 1800 Marines, sailors and Coast Guardsmen.
This exercise is currently underway adding New York and New Jersey to the list of active drills while Jade Helm 15 is still months away.
