Pentagon accused Russia of opaque military exercises near NATO borders

The Pentagon accused Russia of "opaque" military exercises that it is conducting "near NATO borders." This was stated by the spokesman for the US Department of Defense John Kirby.

Speaking on Monday during a briefing, Kirby explained to reporters how "NATO exercises at Russia's borders" differ from "Russian exercises at NATO's borders." As an example, he cited the large-scale exercises Defender Europe 21.

According to a Pentagon spokesman, the United States and NATO, unlike Russia, openly talk about the goals and objectives of their military exercises. All of them are defensive and aimed at "containment of aggression", of which Kirby did not elaborate. At the same time, Russia is concentrating its troops on the border with Ukraine, and does not disclose the purpose of this concentration, but calls it exercises.

Kirby stressed that while the United States is bluntly telling how many troops it intends to deploy during the exercises and revealing the objectives of these maneuvers, Russia is hiding all the data in order to mislead NATO. He noted that they still do not understand the purpose of the concentration of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border.

Thus, the Pentagon once again accused Russia of "non-transparency" of military exercises, thereby confirming that they do not intend to listen to the Russian Ministry of Defense, which clearly outlined the goals and objectives of the exercises. The Americans will continue to express "concern" and accuse Russia, since, in their opinion, it is Moscow that destabilizes the world situation.

The Pentagon accused Russia of opaque military exercises at “borders of NATO "

Insolence squared. Perhaps Russia has expanded so much within its borders that it has approached NATO's borders? Or have you forgotten where the borders of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact countries were? The further, the more difficult it is to talk with these "great and terrible" simple language.

Russia is concentrating its troops on the border with Ukraine, and does not disclose the purpose of this concentration, but calls it exercises.

And what have NATO and the border of Russia and Ukraine to do with it? Quite confused pependocik.

[Starover_Z]

Kirby explained to reporters the difference between "NATO exercises at Russia's borders" from "Russian exercises at NATO's borders."

Yes, they are very different!
NATO conducts exercises of the troops of the bloc countries AT THE BORDERS OF RUSSIA,
and Russia conducts exercises of its troops IN ITS TERRITORY!
NATO is marking time at the borders of Russia, just as Hitler's troops were concentrated at the borders of the USSR and also under "plausible" pretexts!

According to Mikhail Zadornov, he is really so stupid that they also need to popularly explain the obvious. It even saddens me that we got such "stupid partners". For what sins have we been rewarded with them?

So they apparently want to squeeze us out already on our primordially Russian lands. Plan "Ost" did not go anywhere, it was simply put on a shelf for the time being.

[Real Pilot]

Ooh yes! Impudence is not only squared, but also cubed. At the same time, it is absolutely TRANSPARENT ...

And all the transparency was clearly expressed by Madeleine Albright (US Secretary of State) in the 90s:

"What kind of world justice can we talk about when such a rich territory as Siberia belongs to one country?"

And there are a couple more Brzezinski quotes, for example. And other "geniuses of geopolitics". They just dream of Siberia. There, this word is promoted as a symbol of Russian wealth.

But something confuses them here quite frankly to meddle. You can get a brazen redhead (oh, I'm not in trend - bald!). So they walk around the bush, like the Krylov fox around the grapes ...

We are probably not quite "modern", according to their advanced concepts, and do not pass the test for openness and tolerance.

No, we have nothing to do with it. It's just spring and mattresses, due to the unstable psyche, have increased anxiety. The day before yesterday, they expressed concern about the fact that the Russian Federation and the PRC are playing pranks in space, yesterday they were worried about Russia's actions in the Arctic, and today they were alarmed about the movement of Russian troops across their own territory. Tomorrow they will be alarmed about the pimple that has jumped up at Navalny's opera house and wave Magnitsky's act, and the day after tomorrow they will fall into depression about the "unfinished" pipe of the SP-2. So the mattresses live, not a day without worries and doubts, and haloperidol no longer helps them.

This is not insanity, but a completely deliberate policy, which is designed to convince the whole world that Russia is a terrible and aggressive country, which is constantly nurturing plans to attack "peaceful democracies." Vaughn, Svidomo and the Baltic-Polish brotherhood "reveals" these plans every day. Well, who is the director of the entire performance is also clear. All in order to justify, in which case, their aggression against Russia. We, they say, are only defending ourselves.

The purpose of the exercise is educational - to explain to NATO countries the need to maintain a safe distance from Russia, determined exclusively for each of these countries by the geographical location of their state borders

[stalki]

Ugh at him one more time what do they eat there? Have toxins hit your head? Let her run to mommy and complain about us, maybe she will feel better.

[Cowbra]

This was stated by the spokesman for the US Department of Defense John Kirby.

And why should they, with such talents, also Psaki?

[hagen]

It is difficult to gauge Kirby's performance without knowing exactly the amount of information that was provided to them and that that should be provided under the contract. The fact that the parties exchange such information is a practice that existed also under the USSR. Always during exercises, even regimental ones, there were border zones into which we could not enter our units (not to mention formations) without prior notification of the neighboring side. There was a case in our regiment, in 1986, when we ran into trouble about this and a few Finns were "disturbed". The consequences for the army leadership were serious.

[Alipes]

You always have to negotiate. On behalf of our compound, they violated the airspace of the Finns two years later. The violator personally went to our border guards to get drunk on the Finns. We found a consensus.

[nnm]

1. As I understand it, there is an international agreement that defines the procedure for mutual notification of the parties about the conducted exercises.
2. Taking into account the fact that the Americans in their statement do not refer to specific facts of our violation of the articles of this document, we formally complied with everything. By the way, the representative of our Ministry of Defense said about this (apparently, precisely in order not to overcome the threshold of 13 thousand participants, when the side would be obliged to invite foreign observers, we divided the exercises into 4000 separate events. But since the agreement complied with - what claims can there be?).
3. In all the materials that "hastily" had time to look, not a word is said about the fact that the legend of the teachings should be revealed.
4. The Americans are better off keeping silent about their "transparency" - they still have missile defense in Europe around our borders against Iran and Korea. And lately they have been bluntly saying that the leitmotif of their teachings is opposition to Russia and China.

Therefore, it seems to me that we can safely take their statements about exercises against Russia, which they claim as models, replace "Russia" in them with "the United States and NATO" and issue them according to a template every time in response to questions overseas "partners".
