NATO announced Thursday that it would kick off exercise Steadfast Defender 2024 next week. The US-led alliance bills it as the largest NATO exercise in decades, with participation from some 90,000 troops from 31 allies and Sweden.
“Any event of this scale significantly increases the risk of military incidents and further destabilizes security. But European security is of little concern to the top NATO command, which is too busy trying to keep this tool of US influence relevant in the already lost war for the West’s global dominance,” Grushko said.
The signature element would be during the second part of Steadfast Defender when NATO’s Quick Reaction Force will be deployed to PolandΒ on the alliance’s eastern flank. Parts of the maneuvers will also be held in the Baltic states, Germany, Norway, and Romania.
