Sorry folks, strangely, this one seems like just a false alarm it seems - sadly for the war porn enthusiasts, but thankfully for the EU, the Baltics and especially Poland (‼¡‼), Russia has once again failed to attack Europe under the guise of a military exercise.
Oh well, another day, another possibility for Russia to invade Europe ...

Units of the Russian Air Force were first to set off for home following the end of the drills, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

The Russian military spokesman in this briefing, General Sergei Rudskoi, in a matter-of-fact deadpan, explains that 'US Secret Services’, and their Al Qaeda proxies, had a very, very bad day yesterday. Americans love bombing small, defenseless countries into the stone age, it’s part of their culture like baseball, apple pie, and morbid obesity. One of the things they never do, however, is pick on a country that can fight back.
