NATO Allies demonstrate strength and unity with exercise Cold Response in Norway
Tens of thousands of troops from across Europe and North America are training together in harsh climatic conditions as part of Norwegian exercise Cold Response 2022. The exercise…demonstrates NATO’s ability to respond decisively to any threat, from any direction. Around 30,000 troops from 27 nations, including NATO’s close partners Finland and Sweden, are taking part in the exercise, as well as about 220 aircraft and more than 50 vessels.
The exercise shows NATO’s ability to deploy tens of thousands of forces to the High North, while at the same time NATO is reinforcing the eastern part of the Alliance to shield NATO against any aggression. Cold Response gives NATO Allies and partners the opportunity to train together in cold weather conditions over challenging terrain. Cold Response deals with a fictional scenario where Norway is attacked and NATOs collective defence clause, Article 5, is invoked. Exercise Brilliant Jump 2022, the certification of NATO’s Very High Readiness Joint Task Force, is linked to Cold Response.
An invasion of Russia by these NATO states would indeed be catastrophic. I believe planning is in the works. NATO forces are much larger than Russia’s. Russia’s only evener is nuclear weapons.

More Russian propaganda. NATO has zero interest in invading Russia but Russia is preparing an excuse to attack NATO. You just parroted it.

I reproduce material from the NATO website verbatim, without commentary, with its exact numbers of troops, ships and planes for Cold Response and in your estimate I’m parroting Russian propaganda?

History repeats. Massive military conflicts take on a life of their own, like a forest fire burning relentlessly until the fuel is spent.
