Russia Announced War Games with China and Iran that Will ‘Encircle’ Europe. Moscow’s Ministry of Defense announced that Russian leader Vladimir Putin plans to hold naval drills in the Atlantic, Arctic, Mediterranean and the Pacific oceans this month and next, alongside China and Iran. These exercises, including those on land in Belarus, will essentially encircle Europe at the time when Russia is also amassing 100,000 troops on Ukraine’s borders for a potential invasion. The war games will involve “more than 140 warships and support vessels, more than 60 aircraft, 1,000 pieces of military equipment, and about 10,000 servicemen,” the defense ministry said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies. Now I ask the reader, is Russia, China, and Iran the New Axis of Evil? If so, what should our congressional representatives and our 46th POTUS and those within his circle of advisors, to include his Secretary of Defense, military branch secretaries and Joint Chiefs of Staff do in preparation for the inevitable coming conflict that is on the horizon. If not today, then tomorrow? Following an Amry Airborne career spanning 30 years (65-95), I now believe that war is never inevitable until it starts, but there has been a great proclivity in human history, and including in recent history, for war.
