Multiple US military officers casually show up as observers on a Belarusian/Russian military exercise, together with the Russian Deputy Defence Minister.
You read that right: While Belarus and Russia are training the invasion of Poland, the US military shows up in the audience.
If you live in the US, I hope you realize the gravity of such a signal to us Europeans. Especially after Trump has threatened to invade Denmark, and halted all US aid to Ukraine.

WWIII started a long time ago. But mostly as hyrbrid war, therefore unnoticed by the public.

Turkey is a NATO member, so that is also bad, but I am somewhat less surprised, as Turkey has been a customer of Russian weapons for decades.

If you recall, Army fleece had a different location of both rank and name tape.

in reply to Gullikerl • • •@Gullikerl Yes, isn't that one thing that military attachรฉs are supposed to do, in normal times at least, be observers at military exercises of the host country?
But whether this is a bad sign in current less normal times I can't say.

If I am wrong, please let me know, so I can update the post.

The EU is being ordered to remain a fossil fuel vassal of oil oligarchs.

Switching oil supply from Putin's oil oligarchs to American & OPEC petrostate dictatorship isn't a good step forward.

in reply to Raymond W Gallacher • • •@RaySF you are right. War has not been declared.
But take one look at the budget in each of our countries, and I believe it is quite evident that there is a war, and we are part of it.
Raymond W Gallacher
in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Agreed.
We need to get ready for the fight.
I think that Ursula von der Leyen is turning into a great war leader. Wars are won by economies and political will.
I am worried but confident.
It's not like 1940.
We know we will have to fight.
Much respect to you. Your journalism is important.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Surely they're breaking some sanctions?
And surely the US has the intelligence technology to observe the exercises in much better detail than sending senior US military personnel?
This is clearly sending a message. But to whom? Putin's likely gonna be doing a Palpatine "Good, Good", while the rest of Europe are having their opinion that the US is an unreliable partner reinforced.
