NATO members will on Monday kick off maritime exercises in the Mediterranean Sea, a measure likely meant in part to flex the coalition’s military muscles at a time when the threat of conflict with Russia looms large.
The exercises, dubbed “Neptune Strike ‘22,” is “designed to demonstrate NATO’s ability to integrate the high-end maritime strike capabilities of an aircraft carrier strike group to support the deterrence and defense of the alliance,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters on Friday .
The U.S.’s Nimitz-class USS Harry S. Truman carrier strike group “will be placed under NATO operational control and serve as the centerpiece for this long-planned activity that fosters NATO allies’ ability to cooperate and integrate effectively,” Kirby said.
Kirby also said the exercise has been planned since 2020, but that “current tensions in Europe” involving Russia and Ukraine “were considered when deciding whether to press on with the exercise.”
“There was due consideration … given tensions right now, about our exercise posture,” Kirby said. “After all that consideration and discussion with our NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) allies, the decision was made to move ahead.”
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
