The drill will take place across Germany, Poland and the Baltics in February and March and forms part of a new training strategy that will see the military alliance carry out two big exercises every year, instead of one. Nato will also train to counter terrorist threats outside its immediate borders. Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said in June last year that the alliance would increase the number of its high-readiness forces from 40,000 to “well over 300,000”. It forms part of a historic overhaul to shift the alliance towards heavy military capabilities as opposed to the light and mobile forces deployed in the Balkans and Afghanistan.
These ghouls want to start WWIII so desperately. I hope one day soon we can teach them that they are in fact the terrorists.

It is designed to model potential manoeuvres against an enemy modelled on a coalition led by Russia, named Occasus for the purposes of the drill.
We were always at war with Eurasia.
Nato will also train to counter terrorist threats outside its immediate borders.
Scary stuff. Just straight up admitting they’ll invade other nations freely if they harbor “terrorists”
Given the unaccounted for siphoning of arms by Azov and other brownshirt groups and their patrons, as well as Zelenskyy’s threats this past weekend, Nato will soon start talking about quelling terrorist threats within its own borders.
Gladio C is well and truly underway, and the consequences will be terrifying.
Haven’t they always been like this though?
well, since the 90s at least
“War-fighting alliance”
NATO is not a group for war tho!
NATO is defensive only, up until whenever they immediately decide it isn’t.
So pretty much war mongering. Guess WW3 is inevitable with people like these at the helm…
It’s already on though. Just as we now recognize the Marco Polo incident in 1937 or even maybe 1931 Mukden incident as first shots of World War 2, so is the 2022 SMO or even 2014 maidan coup first shots of WW3.
I hope i’m mistaken, but seeing articles like those not in some marginal rags but in mainstream publications of the most powerful media apparatus in history make me pessimistic about the future.
I think such first shots can only be seen well in hindsight, so I hope you are mistaken too 🙃. I like our little planet and you know… Living. So this news that shit only continues to escalate does not fill me with hope. 🫠
I wonder what they’ll blow up this time.

If you didn’t know already, you can easily bypass paywalls with this firefox/chrome extension.
I do. Unfortunately Firefox for Android doesn’t yet allow you to install any add-on you like :(
So measures like these are helpful. Thanks for commenting though, it might help others.
Ah I see you are on mobile. What works for me on mobile is the following:
- Copy the link of the article you want to bypass the paywall for.
- Open a new incognito tab that doesn’t have any cookies whatsoever (I usually only have this single tab open in incognito)
- Load https://www.google.com in the incognito tab
- Paste the link of the article into the search bar from https://www.google.com (use the search bar of the site not the one from your browser, this is important) and press search.
- If you now click the corresponding article link from the resulting google results page, the article should load without any paywall.
AFAIK this exploits the same mechanism that the bypass paywalls extension exploits. Websites want to make their articles accessible via google if you directly search for them, but want to have a paywall if you find the article via their website. This works for me for most major international news websites on Firefox for iOS
Could be bigger if they hadn’t sent a bunch of those weapons to get destroyed in Ukraine.
we have zapad '81 at home
zapad '81 at home:
Have massive troop buildup 3 miles away from an active warzone
Call it an “exercise”
God, they’re just hoping something happens aren’t they?
Pretext for a polish invasion of Western Ukraine?
Also, what is it with the title?
lets not start with race hatred of eastern europeans
yeah
Poland didn’t allow Indians , Pakistanis and African people to board the trains from its border town while allowing shit tons of Ukrainians, I personally don’t care for such fascists .
Yeah I agree the Polish government are a bunch of racist shitheads who if there was any justice in the world would be in prison. Going on about genes making people evil is fucked up though
