Some 20,000 NATO troops crossed the Vistula River in northern Poland as part of a military exercise. The maneuvers are part of the alliance's Steadfast Defender operation, which involves around 90,000 troops from all 31 NATO countries plus Sweden. The exercise is NATO's largest since the Cold War.

Первое, что сделает Запад, - это собьет российские ракеты по России с помощью системы «Патриот» (они испытали ее на Украине), а затем сожжет Москву ядерным оружием. Тогда можно подождать несколько сотен лет, пока это российское дерьмо станет обитаемым.
