Zero Hedge/Epoch Times: Russia, Belarus Plan Massive Anti-NATO Military Exercise In Wake Of Afghan Defeat 

Vladimir Putin has emerged as a major beneficiary of President Joe Biden’s surrender in Afghanistan and his backing off sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. 

Russia and Belarus have announced plans to conduct a joint military exercise from Sept. 10 to 16 called Zapad 2021 that takes on added significance due to NATO’s humiliation in Afghanistan and the lack of confidence in the alliance among its easternmost members. 

They say it will point out the “futility” of NATO reinforcing Poland and the Baltics in the first major show of force since Biden’s reckless withdrawal. 

Over 200,000 troops, 80 aircraft, 760 military vehicles, and 15 ships will be involved in the exercise, the Russian news site Gazeta.ru reported.

Given the heightened political and social atmosphere surrounding Afghanistan, it is important to remind our uniformed personnel (active duty and reservists on temporary active duty) and military retirees of their responsibilities and obligations under Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and Department of Defense Directive 1344.10. While it is vital to protect the constitutional right of freedom of expression for these groups, consistent with mission accomplishment, national security, and good order and discipline, it’s important to remember certain limitations. Namely, uniformed personnel and military retirees are prohibited from disrespecting senior government leadership (e.g. the President, Vice President, Congress, Secretary of Defense, Service Secretaries, etc.).

- ONI’s Chief of staff, Captain Scott Chesbrough

So the 1st amendment does not apply to retirees.

Should we ask SCOTUS?


Captain Scott Chesbrough's callsign is Boot______.

1109 post is one of those "Yes, that exercise is huge. Yes, that potential enemy is worrisome", but America has bigger problems.

These exercises are now, at long last, useful as theater.

Biden with his Afghan betrayals to NATO, broke trust and confidence in the willingness of the USA to backup NATO. Russia now only has to use diplomacy and trade to weaken NATO to the point its symbolic. It has the Nordstream 2 as a wedge to drive more integration with Europe's energy market. From there deals on everything else can flow, just as happened with the petro powers in the Middle East.
Security from sugar lipped diplomats follows as well.

China gets in this too. Europe held back from their best stuff out of concern for their big brother USA. Who cares now? China will open up Europe like an electric can open opens a can of cherrys.

Joe Biden. He did what Europe accused President Trump of doing, devaluing and endangering NATO. Joe Biden actually did.

"NATO likes Biden"

That is an obvious lie.

The British Parliament held Biden in contempt.

U.K., French, German Leaders Blast Biden Over Afghanistan: 'We Thought America Was Back'

So why the lie? Is it because you are

a) Stupid
b) A partisan hack without scruples
c) Someone using an old man's name?

The person said they was traveling and so was using an iPhone. Why does the person's fellow traveler have t give them an iPhone to distract them during the trip? It is irresponsible!. They should give the person a Classic Tetris Game for Children instead of an iPhone for amusement.

Great, the communist traitors among us force vaccinate our military and Russia and China get ready to overrun us. It'll happen because you don't accept that the us military is in on it. Why else would the top brass talk this cult nonsense of CRT and Marxism and force Christians and national Patriots out? They want the great reset and it'll be communist heavy

There's an old saying in mil circles that's half a joke and half deadly truth. (as goes with most sayings and jokes in mil circles)

"The only difference between an exercise and an invasion is the compass heading."
