Intimidating NATO and esp the Baltics.

100,000+ troops.
Moving into Belarus
More than likely going to leave a garrison in the country, if past history is any guide, which it usually is.
----------------------------
Moscow (AFP) - Russia on Thursday began huge joint military exercises with Belarus along the European Union's eastern flank in a show of strength that has rattled nervous NATO members.
Named Zapad-2017 (West-2017), the manoeuvres are scheduled to last until September 20. They are being conducted on the territory of Moscow's closest ally Belarus, in Russia's European exclave of Kaliningrad and in its frontier Pskov and Leningrad regions.
Moscow says the drills involve 12,700 troops, 70 aircraft, 250 tanks and 10 battleships testing their firepower against an imaginary foe close to borders with Poland and the Baltic States.
Russia's defence ministry insisted the manoeuvres were "of a strictly defensive nature and are not directed against any other state or group of countries."
But NATO claims Russia has kept it in the dark and could be massively underreporting the scale of the exercises, which some of the alliance's eastern members say involves more than 100,000 servicemen.
The war games come with tensions between Russia and NATO at their highest since the Cold War due to the Kremlin's meddling in Ukraine and the US-led alliance bolstering its forces in eastern Europe.

Trump will do nothing.

Just responding to NATOs massive wargames tbqh
This is going to go for tat till the first major city is melted down in nuclear fire
Lol a citizen of the USA complaining about war games and military drills.
Not really complaining. Let their feeble ass military do its . "drunk, poorly trained, but there are a lot of them". The economy of the state of Texas is larger than that of Russia, which is experiencing a demographic implosion.
Worth noting, though, is how blatantly their government is lying about the size of the exercise to keep observers away.
Its like a fat guy complaining about the buffet serving portions of others
Why do you think Russia is lying about how many troops are involved?
Its like a fat guy complaining about the buffet serving portions of others
Why would anyone want to tell potential adversaries specific details about their military operations

This was set up by Barry and his Globalist buddies. Now the Left will look to Trump to clean up ANOTHER mess while asking for an impeachment. Jesus, these people are sick.
US just finished massive drills with thousands of US troops in the black sea and baltics
Thats equivalent to Russia having drills in Mexico
Whaaa! The Russians are coming!! They are having drill in their own country!!!
That doesn't really say why you think the Russians lied about how many troops they had in their war games.

Why do you think they lied?
Treaty obligations, and avoiding nuclear war.
Is real yet?
Nah. Russia is just using the exercises to establish a permanent presence in Belarus, a client state.
Not hugely earthshattering in terms of significance. They are trying to add strategic depth, and reinforce what they view as their sphere of influence.
Another waste of money, IMO.
It does give them a modest amount of leverage, and does fit into a pattern of solidifying their position, at least in their heads.
We are not going to nuke them over a military drill
But it does explain you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Especially because Nato observers were invited
Wake me up when Russia sends thousands to the mexican border and performs wargames there
So you don't have an opinion as to why Russia would lie?But it does explain you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Especially because Nato observers were invited

You should read a little more on NATO military doctrine, and MAD. Yes, we would.
So our military never lies?
Just yesterday I just read articles about US covertly still supplying arms to rebels and terrorists in syria
Despite them claiming they stopped it
Yeah but God forbid Russia lies about the number of trrops in their drills within their country which are open to the public btw
Dude, we are not ending all life on the planet over some former soviet republics, and if our leaders really would do that then they need to go right now.
So now Poland and others will receive more arms from us eventually and we will use things like this as an excuse.
Boots this is so old and tired.
Trump has already shown no love for Russia from a military standpoint.
In fact he is more likely to counter Russian moves or even provoke them IMO.
He already has.
Still defending the gas man Assad... Syria is in pieces. We will eventually push for the Kurds and other "terrorists" to maintain control of some parts. All Kurds are terrorists according to your friends the Turks? You see how mixed up your dumb ass is?Just yesterday I just read articles about US covertly still supplying arms to rebels and terrorists in syria
