"...20,000 pieces of military equipment arrived from the USA in six European ports (in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Latvia, Estonia). Another 13,000 pieces are supplied by the U.S. Army in Europe from prepositioned depots, mainly in Germany, Holland and Belgium. ...the contingent of 20,000 soldiers arrives from the U.S. in seven European airports. Among these are 6,000 National Guard coming from 15 states: Arizona, Florida, Montana, New York, Virginia and others.

At the beginning of the exercise in April, reports the U.S. Army in Europe, the 30,000 U.S. soldiers “will spread through the European region” to “protect Europe from any potential threat,” with clear reference to the “Russian threat.”

Tens of thousands of soldiers will cross borders to conduct exercises in 10 countries.

The 30,000 U.S. soldiers, who “will spread through the European region,” are in fact exempted from the preventive COVID-19 regulations that apply to civilians. The assurance given by the U.S. Army in Europe that “we are monitoring the Coronavirus [COVID-19]” and that “our forces are in good health” is enough.

..the environmental impact of a military exercise of this magnitude is ignored. U.S. Abrams tanks will participate, weighing 70 tons, with depleted uranium shells. Each tank consumes 400 liters of fuel per 100 km, producing heavy pollution to deliver maximum power..... "

The last sentence of this report is very telling "In this situation, what are EU and national authorities doing, what is the World Health Organization doing? They put the mask on over their eyes, as well as over their mouth and nose."

Well, first I'll send you to RationalWiki for a discussion on the wonderful site that is global research...


Second, I'll send you to army times for their reporting on the decision to cut back us involvement because of Covid-19. And of course, depending on developments, participation, or the entire exercise may be called off.

Finally... just go to the CDC, The Who, the CA dept of public health, etc... to learn that wearing a mask offers no protection. (A sick person should wear a mask because it helps at least alleviate the spread from coughs).

Excellent that military re-thinking war games in Europe (Defender Europe 20). Seems to correspond to command officers' C-virus exposure and the White House now treating virus as serious, rather than a "hoax."

Paper masks are useless after approximately 15-20 minutes of continuous wear...or when moisture soaks through all layers - then droplets can pass through mask as well during exhalations. However a NIOSH-approved N100 mask, because it protects the wearer by fully covering the mouth, will help prevent inhalation of 99.7% of airborne germs, which means they aren’t a totally fail-proof method. N95 and N99 masks can also be effective. They are still your best bet IF you have a proper fit and it is not loose on the sides. Protection from debris and materials that are larger than 0.3 microns or greater can be achieved with both N100 and P100 respirators, as well as N95 and N99 respirators. Note: the N-95 and heavier - should not be worn all day; they limit the amount of oxygen coming in....
