NATO has amassed 30,000 troops and 50 warships near Russia's border for military exercises, risking Mad Vlad's rage.

The drill, named Cold Response, has kicked off today in Norway amid escalating tensions between Russia and the West over the invasion of Ukraine.

The exercise includes 30,000 troops from more than 25 countries from Europe and North America, 200 aircraft, and 50 vessels.

The largest Nato exercise which is held just a few miles from the Russian border was planned long before Moscow's invasion of Ukraine but its significance has now been heightened.

"This exercise is extremely important for the security of Norway and its allies. We will practice an allied reinforcement of Norway", Norwegian Defence Minister Odd Roger Enoksen.

"It is not being held because of the Russian authorities' attack on Ukraine, but given the backdrop there is a heightened significance."

The aim of the drill is to test how Norway and Alliance members would work together on land, in the air, and at sea in line with Article 5 of NATO's charter, which requires member states to come to the aid of another member state under attack.

"I find it totally normal, perhaps now more than ever, to train together to demonstrate our capacity and our willingness to defend our values and our way of life", stated General Yngve Odlo, head of Norway's Joint Headquarters and in charge of Cold Response.

The Norwegian armed forces said it provided thorough information to the Russians, including the Russian Ministry of Defense, saying that was vital for preventing misunderstandings and unnecessary conflict.

Russia has declined to observe the exercise, which is held every two years and is due to end on April 1.

And even though it was planned months ago, it is bound to infuriate the Russian dictator who may have "roid rage" potentially caused by cancer treatment.

Western spies have speculated Putin's decision to invade Ukraine may have been sparked by his physical health condition as he appears "ashen and bloated" in recent pictures released by the Kremlin.

They believe he is suffering from a brain condition, such as Parkinson’s disease or a more generic form of dementia - or has cancer.

Another theory is that he is suffering from “roid rage” from the long-term use of steroids.

Side effects of steroids include increased risk of infection - which it is claimed could explain his paranoia about catching Covid.

It comes as...

Meanwhile, Sajid Javid has vowed Britain will go to war against Russia if Putin attacks a Nato country after Putin's forces launched missile strikes just 12 miles from the Polish border with Ukraine last night.

The airstrike at the Yavoriv military base near Lviv, killed at least 35 people and injured another 134.

Warsaw is part of the 30-strong defensive military alliance which also includes the UK, US, France, and Germany.

Mr Javid said: "We've been very clear from the start, with our NATO allies, that if there is any kind of attack on NATO territory then it will be war with NATO and there will be a severe response.

"Even if just a single toecap of a Russian soldier steps into NATO territory, then it will be war with Russia and NATO would respond.

"That hasn't changed throughout this conflict and there would be a significant response from NATO if there was any kind of attack from Russia.

"Our message has been very clear from the start. Any kind of attack, anything that touches NATO territory or impacts NATO in any significant way, then we would respond."

His comment comes as Nato allies including Britain and the US have massively bolstered deployments to Eastern Europe in recent months.

However Russia has lost more than 12,000 troops during almost three weeks of fighting as well as hundreds of tanks and aircraft, according to Ukrainian estimates.

There have been widespread reports that morale is incredibly low, with kit repeatedly breaking down and shortages of food and fuel.

Putin has even resorted to calling in mercenaries from as far afield as Syria to bolster his struggling forces.

Simple Explanation: It's been an annual exercise for at least the 10 previous years. Russia knows about it and was even invited to observe this, it was well communicated and the Russian military was welcome to come to see what they would face in the event one military boot crosses one NATO border.

Putin should choose his enemies wisely because Russia won't survive one week of NATO fight

Ordinary Ukraine is giving Russia sleepless nights and headache for weeks now and still counting

Putin Putin Putin how many times I call you?
Hmmmm

Putin should just misbehave and watch his soldiers dealt with.

Just one country its taking them 3 weeks plus... imagine NATO that consists of 30 countries including USA, Germany etc... Russia will not last 1 day that why Russia is threatening everyone with nuclear weapons... that if anybody interfere in their business they will use nuclear weapon to destroy the world...

that's why i don't understand those supporting Putin to start a war... anything like ww3 will send the whole world back to the stone age including africa

This exercise come up every 2 years. But I think there should be caution so that there won’t be provocation on both NATO and Russia.

If you've extensively read about the degree of military ingenuity and armament that were deployed during World War II as far back as 80 years ago, you'll know that a third world war will be very devastating, even without the use of nuclear weapons. Imagine more than a thousand fighter aircraft bombing Tokyo at the same time.

NATO is really stressing Putin and his Boys Scout called soldiers.

Russian won’t survive a week in a fight with NATO because how can a country fight 30 countries at a time. All NATO need to do is surround Russia and start the bombing.

Another Adolf Hitler is about to be taken down.

There won't be war, peace has come to Russia and Ukraine. Media stop promoting violence.

Can anyone imagine what is going through the Ukrainian President’s mind with all this posturing by NATO outside the borders of Ukraine?

He’ll probably continue to roll his eyes in frustration saying: “Why all these massive activities if Ukraine that needs it urgently can’t have it for its protection”.

Not nice!

The question should be why are all these countries against Russia?
Why can't they just leave Russia alone? Why throw bombs in her backyard every year? And somehow Putin is the aggressor? That is master brainwashing

good

Russia is too small for the whole NATO. The mistake some gullible Africans supporting Putin and claiming Russia as superpower that can defeat any nation is believing land mass equals to military strength. They erroneously believe that because Russia is the largest country by land mass, they shoule be the strongest.



They think land mass means strongest.


Russia cannot defeat UK alone in 5 years. Both UK and Russia will feel the impact. Add France and Germany to it and Russia will be annihilated. Now think of a whole NATO, the whole of Russia will be turned to a waste dump site with no single soul survivor

Analysts plenty here die
