4 NATO Warships Arrive In Finland For Military Exercices

Click to see full-size image

On May 29, four ships of NATO member countries arrived in the Finnish port of Hernasaari for military exercises in the Baltic Sea. The ships belonging to the United States, Germany, and France are parked in the port of Helsinki. They include the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Gravely, the Whidbey Island-class landing craft USS Gunston Hall, and the French Navy’s F70 Latouche-Treville submarine. The warships joined the German Navy’s Saxony-class frigate, which arrived in Helsinki after a joint exercise with the Finnish coastal fleet earlier last week. The exercise also involved the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge, a Wasp-class landing ship, as well as Finnish and Swedish troops. Sweden sent its second-largest warship to these exercises.

Finnish naval commander Jussi Jasmen commented on the arrival of the NATO warships, claiming that these visits are seena as an expression of solidarity, as Finland’s interests have significantly increased recently. Finnish officials describe the presence of NATO warships as a starting point for dialogue with the alliance, and Sweden is in roughly the same conditions. The countries are forced to violate their historical sovereignty amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

In turn, the commander of the US army Europe and Africa, General Christopher Cavoli, said that Washington does not plan to increase its presence in Sweden and Finland, clarifying that the number of exercises, rotations and other manoeuvres will increase in the region.

Finnish ships will also take part in other NATO maneuvers in 2022. The Ministry of Defense reported that Finland will increase the number of international military exercises. Another 20 different combat training activities are planned for the remaining half of 2022, of which 8 are new. The new military exercises are part of preparations for the interim stage of accession to the Alliance.

The Finnish government understands that Finland’s interests have grown since it applied to NATO on May 18. Finnish authorities have been extremely approving of the visit of the NATO ships. Finland will actively cooperate with NATO on technical and military fields in the future. In response, to the Finnish military manoeuvres, Russia has increased its military presence on the Finnish-Russian border, which is 810 miles long.

Finland’s defense chief noted that it is now crucial to protect Finland during the NATO application process. Petteri Orpo, chairman of the parliamentary defense committee, said the exercise increases the presence of partner nations in the region, which is part of the plan to ensure Finland’s security during the NATO accession process. Defense Minister Antti Kaikkonen said the partnership between NATO and Finland during the application period will only grow, and that in addition to military cooperation, visits by allied countries in other areas will take place.

NATO is a paper rabbit, not even a tiger...

Wow, that’s support. The NATO military-industrial complex is almost at the bottom. They will be making 1,300 stingers for FOUR YEARS. And this is the amount, well, for a couple of weeks of intense fighting. Our helicopters are not knocked down by 8-10 stingers, their automation takes them away and blinds them. So the NATO military-industrial complex is simply worthless.

While there are a number of complex issues involved that got Russia to this place in it’s procrastination (https://theduran.com/putin-911-not-inside-job/) to build serious game changing weapons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSM-56_Bulava) which it now has… The probability that they MUST be used is fast approaching!…

Speaking as an American that saw 9/11 as the most important watershed in this century in our short “punk a$$ed existence”… demanding that nuclear superpowers like Russia speak out soon after it happened to investigate (https://www.ae911truth.org/)?… But never did (http://www.911research.wtc7.net/wtc/groundzero/cleanup.html) (https://theduran.com/putin-911-not-inside-job/)!… And this is why we are here!…

It’$ a Good Day to Die!

Many of your millionaires Matt are buying up land and houses in New Zealand as quote from the NZ media-“super rich Americans buying land in New Zealand as “bolthole ” from apocalypse ” . Stuff.co.nz — NZ PM has now put a stop to it but as those rich people keep in touch with the US government hawks they don’t want “fried ” but don’t care about the ordinary US citizen.

It begs the question of why any wealthy in the EU., China, India or Russia over the last 20 years that saw the wreckage of Afghanistan and Iraq (especially after what happened to Yugoslavia and Iraq after the Gulf War) that they knew was a LIE that became the excuse for (3 buildings 2 planes) could allow it perpetuate to Georgia… Libya… Syria… Yemen… and of course Ukraine in 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5n8UbJ8jsk)!?…

Not arguing who made it all possible. Just proclaiming that by their mutual inaction at a very critical juncture following the “9/11 Commission Report” that was the worst smoking gun on who did it. That the players cited collectively refused to demand answers through vigilance to bring the Bush Administration to war crimes tribunal which could saved us all from the ordeal and crisis we now face!

Every action and reaction brings WW III closer. The Finland front greatly speeds up that appointment with the Apocalypse, history still ignored. https://patternofhistory.wordpress.com/

It’s spelled Hernesaari, not Hernasaari. In the other national language, Swedish, which is also an official language of the city of Helsinki along with Finnish, it is spelled Ärtholmen.

In the event of a conflict with nato in this area . It would Not be difficult to block off the sea lines and trap the nato ships! Or simply destroy them from the air. I wonder do the sailors in these nato ships know that they are nothing more than sacrificial lambs as far as the Western globalists governments are concerned

I hope Russia or China nuke DC so we can finally be free of these idiots that are chomping at the bit for a war that is impossible for anyone to win.

Maybe a US sub commander will see the light and decapitate our rabid dog military industrial complex
