Another NATO's act of intimidation
NATO members are about to flex their military muscle in Russia's backyard.

The exercise will involve 11 warships and 4 planes of Romania and 6 aircraft and 5 military vessels of other member countries. The coordination will be carried out by the Romanian Navy commander. Within the military exercises jparticipants will implement the standard procedures for the fight against air, submarine and surface threats.
"This is a demonstration of the alliance's resolve to defend all allies against any threat, and to enhance maritime security in the region," said a NATO official.
The false enemy
NATO has been forcing its military presence on Europe for several years since the beginning of Ukrainian crisis when Russia was accused of interfering in the conflict. Moscow has repeatedly denied the claims.
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu warned NATO that the military buildup near Russia’s borders is provocative and threatens the existing strategic balance of power. Also, he pointed out that Alliance is fighting with the wrong enemy: "Instead of uniting efforts against the common global evil — terrorism — NATO declared Russia the main threat and continues to increase its military potential near our borders.'
