You look, listen, read what some Western politicians and journalists have been talking about lately, and you are amazed.

One gets the impression that they set themselves the task of proving to the whole world at all costs: Russia is the most terrible and insidious aggressor on the planet, and its attack on poor, unfortunate Ukraine is a matter of the very near future.

At the same time, all statements by Russian officials are defiantly not taken into account.

Meanwhile...

Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that the publications about the allegedly impending Russian provocation in the Donbass are unfounded and have not been confirmed by anything. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, urged him not to replicate speculation about the mythical "Russian aggression." Our embassy in Washington called the news that Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine could begin between mid-January and mid-February a hoax and informational pressure.

And now - howling around the upcoming joint Russian-Belarusian exercises from February 10 to February 20. Again, a high-ranking representative of the US State Department connects their holding exclusively with the escalation of the situation around Ukraine. Like, the Allied Resolve 2022 exercises are just “an excuse to send forces to Belarus for a potential attack on Ukraine from the north,” the official claims, without providing any evidence.

Canadians became the first victims of mass psychosis.

As a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), they sent their special forces to Kiev, not to fight the enemy, but to help evacuate Canadian embassy staff, fearing an imminent “Russian army invasion.”

What will you order the neighboring states to do during the global exercises of the countries of this military-political bloc themselves?

What measures to take, where to run, what to be afraid of?

Here is a list of only the most important and significant NATO military training operations in the past year.

As well as the countries and geographical locations where they took place.

January.

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland.

Exercises aimed at training ground units and commands responsible for their deployment, as well as training personnel of host countries.

February.

Mediterranean Sea.

Annual naval maneuvers with the participation of the Air Force, during which the readiness and coherence of the actions of the NATO naval forces and aviation was worked out.

March.

Great Britain.

A multi-national combat exercise led by the United Kingdom involving several allies, involving collective training in tactical formations and training participants to work as a Joint Task Force.

April.

Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, UK.

Tabletop exercises to test the readiness of NATO tactical and operational capabilities for the missions of the Integrated Air and Missile Defense.

Approximately in the same spirit, exercises were held with the participation of Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Portugal, the Netherlands, Finland and Sweden (the last two, by the way, are not even NATO members) and a number of other countries.

NATO's constant dangerous maneuvers in the Baltic and Black Seas in close proximity to our borders deserve special mention.

The main character in them is the notorious 6th Fleet of the US Navy.

According to experts, the Americans thus test the strength of the command of the Russian Navy and the effectiveness of the interaction of Russian forces.

A sort of control swim from another continent.

World auditors are playing with fire!

Doesn't leave NATO and the Arctic alone. In March-April of this year, the most massive exercises in this region since the end of the Cold War will take place. It is expected that about 35,000 servicemen from 28 NATO member countries will take part in them. Strategic aviation will be involved, as well as two aircraft carriers and their air groups: the American USS Harry S. Truman and the British HMS Prince of Wales. Norway informed the command of the Northern Fleet of our country about this in advance. And thanks for that.

Let us return, however, to Belarus and Russia. On the territory of our joint Union State. Last November, the leaders of the two countries, united by an agreement dated December 8, 1999, signed a decree that strengthened and deepened the areas of cooperation and approved 28 integration programs. In addition, the military doctrine of the Union State was adopted, which, according to its Secretary of State Dmitry Mezentsev, will increase the level of coordination of defense policy and timely adapt the tasks of the two states. Actually, within the framework of the main treaty and this doctrine, the exercises "Allied Resolve - 2022" are planned.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the first units had already arrived in Belarus. It is noted that the verification of the joint response forces will take place in two stages. First, the redeployment and creation of groupings of troops in Belarus will be carried out, the organization of the protection and defense of important objects, the protection of the state border in the airspace, the verification of the readiness and ability of the air defense forces and means on duty to perform tasks to cover important objects on the territory of the republic. And then the exercise itself will take place, at which issues of suppressing and repelling external aggression, as well as countering terrorism and protecting the interests of the Union State will be worked out.

As another preventive measure to remove even the tiniest speck of doubt, a statement was made by Deputy Head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sergei Ryabkov.

During his speech at the Valdai Club site, he made it clear that our country “does not intend to take any aggressive actions.

We will not attack, attack and invade Ukraine.”

At the same time, he recalled that the non-accession of Ukraine to NATO is at the center of Russia's security interests and Moscow will do everything possible within the framework of diplomacy to "reverse this situation."

This is precisely the aim of the proposals that Moscow made to Washington in Geneva last week.

Get the log out of your own eye, gentlemen!
