No one is trying to beat up Russia - it is to big a country to beat up - just ask the germans who did tried to do it... If anything it is Russia who is trying to be extremely aggressive, and even treating some nato members with nuclear weapons, as they did with Denmark the other day - if DJ would work closer with the US in different programs who they have common interest - but who Russia see as a affront to their interest - and the ambassador to DK from Russia, threatened DK with nuclear weapon if they did.. No public message from DK at the moment about it - but I'm pretty sure behind the scene, a lot of things is happening...

But the fact is, the NATO exercises in the northern part of Norway, with many member states involved was a excessive planned - and where the russians was informed at least 6 monts in advance - as the agreement between Russia and Norway express the necessarily to do - in the interest of making sure no "misunderstanding" could end in anything else than keeping the peace between Russia and Norway...

But the snap excessive The russian Army, Naval forces and air force was never told in advance - and should have been, according to the treaty between Russia and Norway - so if anything it is Russia who is provoking something in this case - not the opposite..
