From TheLibertyBeacon.com:

Large-scale NATO military drills started in Estonia on Monday. The exercise dubbed ‘Hedgehog 2022’ is one of the largest in the Baltic nation’s history, according to the military bloc. The drills will involve some 15,000 troops from 14 nations, including both military bloc members and their partners.

Soldiers from Finland, Sweden, Georgia and Ukraine are among those that will take part in the exercise, Finnish public broadcaster Yle reported. The drills will include all branches of the armed forces and will involve air, sea and land exercises, as well as cyber warfare training, according to the broadcaster.

According to a NATO statement, the drills will also see the US Navy Wasp-class landing ship ‘Kearsarge’ take part in the exercises. Both the military bloc and Estonian Defense Forces deputy commander, Major General Veiko-Vello Palm, have denied that the drills, just over 60km from the Russian border, have anything to do with Moscow’s ongoing military action in Ukraine.

The drills started just a day after Finland and Sweden officially announced their plans to join NATO, and were planned long before the conflict in Ukraine broke out, Western officials have said.

The exercises in Estonia are, however, just one part of NATO’s large-scale military activities near the Russian border. Another Baltic state, Lithuania, is hosting the ‘Iron Wolf’ exercise, which involves 3,000 NATO troops and 1,000 pieces of military equipment, including Germany’s Leopard 2 tanks.

Two of NATO’s biggest exercises – ‘Defender Europe’ and ‘Swift Response’ – are taking place in Poland and eight other countries, involving 18,000 troops from 20 nations, according to NATO’s statement on Friday.

“Exercises like these show that NATO stands strong and ready to protect our nations and defend against any threat,” the military bloc’s spokesperson, Oana Lungescu, said, adding that the drills “help to remove any room for miscalculation or misunderstanding about our resolve to protect and defend every inch of allied territory.”

The NATO Response Force is currently taking part in the 7,500-strong ‘Wettiner Heide’ drills in Germany. The Mediterranean Sea is about to witness ‘Neptune series’ naval drills involving the USS ‘Harry S. Truman’ carrier strike group that will be placed under NATO command. This will only be the second time since the end of the Cold War that a U.S. carrier group has been transferred under the military bloc’s command, NATO has said.

In June, the Baltic States and Poland will host what NATO describes as “Europe’s largest integrated air and missile defense exercise,” which would involve 23 nations.

In late April, Finland hosted NATO naval drills. Now, it is also hosting a joint land exercise, in which troops from the US, the UK, Estonia and Latvia are participating.

The massive military wargames are taking place amid heightened tensions between Russia, NATO and some of the military bloc’s partners. Finland, which shares a long border with Russia, and Sweden decided to reconsider their long-standing policy of non-alignment following a major change in public opinion after the launch of Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

The development sparked a wave of criticism from Moscow, which warned that it would have to respond if Finland and Sweden join NATO. Moscow also maintains that it considers NATO’s expansion as a direct threat to its own security.

After the NATO War is Over
By Batiushka

Make no mistake about it: The tragic war that is currently taking place on Ukrainian battlefields is not between the Russian Federation and the Ukraine, but between the Russian Federation and the US-controlled NATO. The latter, also called ‘the collective West’, promotes an aggressive ideology of organised violence, a politically- economically- and militarily-enforced doctrine euphemistically known as ‘Globalism’. This means hegemony by the Western world, which arrogantly calls itself ‘the international community’, over the whole planet. NATO is losing that war, which uses NATO-trained Ukrainians as its proxy cannon fodder, in three spheres, political, economic and military.

Firstly, politically, the West has finally understood that it cannot execute regime change in Moscow. Its pipedream of replacing the highly popular President Putin with is CIA stooge Navalny is not going to happen. As for the West’s puppet-president in Kiev, he is only a creature of Washington and its oligarchs. A professional actor, he is unable to speak for himself, but is a spokesman for the NATO which he loves.

Secondly, economically, the West faces serious resistance to the 6,000 sanctions it has imposed on Russia and Russians. Those sanctions have backfired. In the West, we can testify to this every time we buy fuel or food. The combination of high inflation (10% +) and even higher energy prices, caused almost solely by these illegal anti-Russian sanctions, are threatening the collapse of Western economies, much more than threatening Russia or China. As a result of this reverse effect of sanctions against Russia, the rouble is at a three-year high, standing at about 64 to the US dollar and rising, though immediately after the sanctions it had briefly gone down to 150 to the dollar.

After strenuously denying that they would do it, already most countries in Europe (at least 17 for now), including Germany and Italy, have agreed to open accounts with Gazprombank, as Russia advised them to do and to pay for oil and gas in roubles. And this number is growing by the week. The problems will be even greater with food shortages, as the world food chain is highly integrated and the agricultural production of Russia and the Ukraine (now controlled by Russia) is at least 40% of the world’s grain production. Just days ago it was announced that Russia expects record grain production this year (130 million tonnes). Russia may yet demand payment in roubles for all this as well.

The sanctions against Russia have divided Europe and are threatening to divide NATO. President Erdogan of Turkey, a NATO member, has announced that he would veto the entry to NATO of Finland and Sweden into NATO. At the same time, Russia has announced that it will cut off Finland’s natural gas supply. Swedish leaders are re-thinking their entry to NATO.

Thirdly, militarily, it is clear that the Ukraine, with huge numbers of desertions and surrenders, has no chance of winning the war against Russia. Most of its military equipment has already been wiped out and newly-delivered and often antiquated Western equipment will make little difference, even if it is not destroyed by Russian missiles as soon as it reaches the Ukraine. The conflict could now be over within weeks, rather than months. The US ‘Defense Secretary’ (= Minister for Offense), Lloyd Austin, has desperately called the Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu to beg for a ceasefire. Would you agree to a ceasefire when in less than three months and with only 10% of your military forces you have already occupied an area greater than England inside the Ukraine, an area that produces 75% of Ukrainian GDP?

The panic of financial disaster in the West has begun to set in. As a result, the French President Macron has told President Zelensky (that is, told Washington) to give up part of Ukraine’s sovereignty and at last start serious negotiations with Russia. Macron is also trying to free French mercenaries from Azovstal in Mariupol, but the problem is much bigger than this, as the whole of Europe is facing economic meltdown. And the Italian Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, has asked President Biden to contact President Putin and ‘give peace a chance’. Note that Mario Draghi is a former president of the European Central Bank and a Goldman Sachs puppet – just as Macron is a Rothschild puppet.

There have always been empires and invasions throughout history. However, they have always been local and not been justified as the only possible global ideology, a ‘New World Order’, to be imposed by violence all over the planet. After the NATO war is over, lost by ‘the collective West’, NATO Centralism, the ideology of a ‘Unipolar World’, controlled from Washington, must end. However, Centralism must also come to an end everywhere else, like that under Soviet-period Moscow (1).

However, Nationalism must also come to an end. Here we should remember that the very word ‘Nazism’ comes from the German words for ‘National Socialism’. (Nationalism entails hatred for others, whereas Patriotism means the ability not only to love your own country, but also love the countries of others, not hate their countries). And the Ukraine has a history of Nazism, stretching back over eighty years. Moreover, today’s leading Kiev soldiery are Nazi nationalists and represent the tribalism so typical of Western Europe, responsible in the twentieth century for two huge wars which it spread worldwide. The Nazi Ukrainian cries of ‘Glory to the Ukraine’ and their slogan of ‘Ukraine above Everything’ are slogans of Nazism.

Let us move to a world that is multipolar and multicentric, which has unity in diversity and diversity in unity. If we do not move towards this, we will probably be lost. For a multipolar, multicivilisational and multicultural world, the world of seven billion human beings already, is the only civilized world, the only true international community.

Note:

1. Here anti-Semites will tell you that the Centralism of Soviet-period Moscow was founded by the Bolsheviks, of whom over 80% were Jews. Firstly, it should be pointed out that they were atheist Jews, internationalists like Bronstein/Trotsky, who supported the ‘Third International’. In other words, they were political Zionists (not religious Zionists, indeed, they were anti-religious). And let us recall that a huge number of Jews were and are anti-Zionists and a huge number of Zionists were and are not at all Jews. This is why the Saker rightly uses the term ‘Anglo-Zionism’ for these unipolar centralisers.

RE: NATO: TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TROOPS FROM 23 NATIONS AGAINST RUSSIA NOW CARRYING OUT EXERCISES

Thanks for this one! Things are heating up alright!

In spite of all this, Russia is not going to lose for the following reasons:

1) As I’ve said before, The Bible predicts the ‘king of the north” who comes from the “edge of the earth” and his allies, as God’s personal servant, is to punish unbelieving Israel and the apostate Christian nations encompassing the whole world. (Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Roman General Titus were both anti-types of what Russia is going to do soon.

So even if every nation on earth is against Russia, it is Russia that is going to win because God is going to strengthen Russia to fulfill his will. So to fight against Russia is the equivalent of fighting against God. Sadly, if all Jews and Christians properly understood and read their Bibles more, especially the book of Jeremiah, these facts are really very elementary and easily understood, and they would not be so quick to condemn Russia at all. Russia is a ‘saint’ compared to our own fascist neo-Nazi corrupt warmongers.

Of course, King Zedekiah (the modern equivalent of him is Jewish Ukrainian President Zelenski) who refused to listen to Jeremiah’s prophetic warnings, by gathering all nations surrounding Israel together to oppose King Nebuchadnezzar (the king from the north) in the end received much more severe judgment for his ignorance. Even though Nebuchadnezzar was a pagan king, he was much less evil than King Zedekiah, Judah and Israel, so God told Jeremiah he had chosen Nebuchadnezzar to BE HIS SERVANT and to come and desolate Jerusalem for Israel’s grievous sins. Same now. First came military judgment. Then immediately followed terrible drought, famine and starvation, even cannibalism. The same thing happened when the second Temple of God was desolated by the Roman General Titus in AD70.

2) WHO CONTROLS NATO?: Back to the articles. I thought the article by Batiushka in the “Saker Blog” brought out some good points, although at the beginning where he mentions “the Ukraine war is really between Russia and US-controlled NATO,” is plainly wrong. Here are the real despots who control NATO and the United States: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvaySoF9AmE Hard to understand I know, but these are the facts.

4) RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN GRAIN PRODUCTION: What Batiushka said about this I thought was spot on! Russia & Ukraine previously produced 31% of the world’s grain exports, or as he claims this is now 40% and this year Russia expects record grain production (130 million tonnes).and may demand Roubles in payment for this as well as gas. Good point. Now that Russia has gained control of the South and South-East of Ukraine’s ports, they will control all of this critical food export. On top of this now not only gas, but much of the West’s fertilizer. What is going to happen when the West’s farmers decide to drastically cut production because they can’t afford fertiliser – yes the price is going to go sky high and those oil-rich middle eastern countries that produce oil and are friends of the West, when they can only get their grain from Russia plainly are going to shift allegiances – fast!

5) FINLAND & SWEDEN TEASING THE BIG BEAR NEXT DOOR

Seriously. Are these people completely mad in wanting to join NATO? With the most advanced world nuclear power living next door. Who by the way considers these countries their NORTH WEST military buffer zones. Is NATO really going to protect them? Against the big bear, that is part of the great beast mentioned in Revelation 13?

It is such a fascinating subject. The nations characterized as predatory animals in the Bible and particularly Bible prophecy, take on the real characteristics of the natural animal itself. The Russian brown bear and North American grizzly bear are the same animal. Learn about them and how they are mentioned in the Bible and you will begin to understand what Russia is likely to do in advance! Bears are incredibly powerful animals of prey. While small bears are often killed by tigers, there is NO known record of a large male tiger ever defeating a large male brown bear that can grow up to 1500 lbs, suffocate a tiger or lion in a bear hug, run faster than a racehorse, and smell a woman’s lipstick up to 60 miles away! Yes. Hard to believe I know, but that’s a pretty powerful intelligence system! Lastly, although brown bears will often “mock charge” to protect their territory, they rarely attack you. However, those that get killed usually make the fatal mistake of treating them too lightly thinking they’re not serious about protecting their territory and borders, when they really are. So the big question is. When the Russians are threatening on using nuclear weapons against the West. Are they serious or are they just kidding? Well, learn about the bear, and you will gain a remarkable understanding!
