Russia Matters: NATO Approves Secretive Defense Plans; Biden Orders 3,000 Reservists to Europe

Russia Matters, 7/14/23

At their summit in Vilnius, NATO allies approved highly-secretive defense plans that laid out which of the 31 member states would be called on to respond if an attack were to occur anywhere from the Arctic and Baltic Sea regions to the Mediterranean and Black Seas, AP reported. The new plans, which are reportedly more than 4,400 pages long, provide for NATO to have up to 300,000 troops ready to move to its eastern flank within 30 days. The number of forces deployed on this flank will increase to brigade level (4,000 troops) under the approved plans. The July 11-12 summit also saw NATO members agree to expand NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense, and set 2% of GDP as the floor, rather than ceiling, of their annual defense expenditures.

  1. NATO has been hijacked by a bunch of neocon sociopaths. Biden and his cabal are willing to risk nuclear armageddon in order to maintain US global hegemony. Except for one or two exceptions, European leaders have proven to be nothing more than loyal vassals and sycophants. We are now staring down into the nuclear abyss. Total madness!
