What implications does this have on something like the current EUCOM Exercises NATO undertakes with Russia and so on each year?
Just as everyone is pulling their ground forces out of Germany, the Russians decide to re-organise their forces on the border.
The same went with the USAF pulling their forces out of Keflavik and as soon as they did, the old bombers start to trundle down more often. I'm not saying that was a precursor for the increased bomber sorties as i doubt it had little to do with it.
