Well, howdy there internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about the United Kingdom
and North Carolina, something they have in common.
And we're going to talk about some news
that isn't actually news,
but it just hit a certain group of people
and they're talking about it.
And of course, they are casting it
in a less than accurate way meant to,
Well, meant to scare people.
All right, so for whatever reason,
the doomsday, everything is scary crowd,
they found out that the United Kingdom is mobilizing
20,000 troops.
They have on their boards, they are
attempting to tie this to events in the Middle East
and stuff like that.
None of that's happening.
The 20,000 troops will take part in Steadfast Defender which is a NATO exercise involving
31 countries.
It will be the largest NATO exercise since the end of the Cold War.
If you are familiar with the exercises from the Cold War, Steadfast Defender is re-forger,
re-branded.
It's the same thing.
I mean, obviously it's not exactly the same because it's no longer returned forces
to Germany.
A whole bunch of people just realized reforger was an acronym.
But yeah, it's the same thing.
For those that don't know, from the late 60s, early 70s to 1993, NATO ran an annual
exercise simulating a Soviet invasion.
Steadfast Defender is simulating a Russian invasion.
They're probably not specifically calling out Russia, they'll frame it in some other
way, some other mythical country or something, that's normally what gets done now.
And my understanding is they are also going to run some training that is more geared towards
countering non-state actors.
Short version, the United Kingdom is not going to war, I think that's the important part.
The template is the same.
The NATO troops that are there or those that can quickly get there, they turn into the
anvil, absorb the hits until the cavalry can show up.
That's what the exercise is going to be.
So it will be way more than 20,000 troops, just so you know.
It will be from all over Europe and that's what's happening.
I said that this isn't news because this was announced with a full explanation a while
back.
I can't even remember how long ago it was, but I remember talking about this and how
it was like Reforger at a Halloween party.
It's not news.
It's been known.
But hopefully this time we can get out in front of the conspiracy theories so we don't
have a repeat of some of the other ones.
In like news, in North Carolina, if you live there, Robin Sage is going to start, I think,
this week.
If you're from there, you know what that means.
If you're not from there and you're going to be in North Carolina, if you see a bunch
of Special Forces guys running around, don't be alarmed.
are also just conducting an exercise. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
