#1 Based on the NYT article, it looks like Victoria Nuland has been fighting a secret war on our behalf for a while. Hopefully, we can vote an end to this 💩 in a couple months.

#2 Conducting military exercises so close to the Russians presents problems. The Russians will presumably monitor the ELINT signature of the event as well as track it visually. If NATO rehearses as they actually plan to act in the event of war they betray their capabilities and provide insights into their “tells.” If they deliberately dumb down the exercises then they may as well stayed at home as the vaunted coordination benefits will be foresaken (and the line doggies will have learned inappropriate lessons). Presumably it’ll go better than Reforger 85
