The NATO letter blames it on the main stream U.S. news media, specifically Time magazine, for publishing statements made during a U.S. trial of a spy. But then, there was a journalist working for Time, who was onboard the aircraft carrier USS Independence (CVA-62) during the wargames, who claimed that somebody in NATO tipped-off the Soviets!
Apparently, NATO’s first Exercise Teamwork, off the coast of NATO Norway, was a diversion from an established NATO wargame called FALLEX (Fall [as in Autumn] Exercise). A once secret NATO letter discussing FALLEX 62 suggested making changes for the upcoming FALLEX 64. Apparently, FALLEX 64 became Exercise Teamwork 64, possibly because of what was publicized about the trial of a spy in the United States.
U.S. Navy film, dated 1964 and titled Exercise Teamwork, showing ‘Russian Spy Fishing Trawler’. The smoke stack on this ship is different than the Revell kit’s stack:
But 1969 is the year the U.S. Navy really took an interest in all the Soviet fishing trawlers hanging around NATO navies, and even off the coast of the United States.
USN film, February 1969, showing Soviet ‘spy’ fishing trawlers operating off the coast of the U.S. state of Virginia, at least three different ships according to the USN info:
On 09APR1969, the USN spied on Soviet Mediterranean fleet operations, near the Rock of Gibraltar, and interestingly among all those big Soviet warships was a lone Soviet fishing trawler (you can see it as the camera pans from warship to warship), I edited for just the trawler scenes:
A May 1969 USN film documenting what was believed to be various Soviet surveillance ships, showing a similar ‘spy trawler’, with a different stack, location not indicated:
Now you know where the tech term phishing originated, Cold War era spy fishing boats, fishing for your country’s military info.
In 1970, model kit company Revell issued its Russian Spy Fishing Trawler Volga. Revell’s spy ship kit seems to combine attributes of all the trawlers seen in the USN films.
Is this the trawler the Revell kit is based on? Image taken from USN film dated February 1969.
NATO called this a Okean class intelligence collection ship. USN photo by Photographer’s Mate First Class Jeff Hilton, August 1986.

The kit is continuously re-issued, but in 1998 the name was changed to Northsea Fishing Trawler.
How many times has U.S. led NATO sworn that it is not expanding towards Russia? The first ever permanent U.S. military base in NATO Poland now has an official name: Camp Kościuszko.

U.S. Army video by Specialist Devin Klecan, official base naming ceremony:
On 30JUL2022, a ceremony was held in Poland, announcing a name for the new U.S. base, named after Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish-Lithuanian military officer who joined the American Revolution against the British Empire in June 1776. After the war that created the United States, General Kościuszko returned to Poland in August 1784.

“No one shall possess a firearm or firearms or a sword or swords.”-Japanese law, however, after a long permitting procedure a person can own a single-fire gun designed for hunting or sport-shooting (you must first own a shotgun for ten years without incident before owning a rifle)
In the past few years, I’ve posted many examples of how Japan’s anti-gun and anti-knife laws are massive failures. On 08JUL2022, former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo (in Japan the family name comes first, then the ‘given’ name) was shot twice in the neck during a Liberal Democratic Party political campaign event, he died about four hours later in the Nara Medical University.
At a press conference doctors revealed that Abe Shinzo was probably killed instantly, claims that he was shot in the neck with the bullets ending up in the heart (sniper attack from above?), admit that despite invasive surgery they could not find any bullets:
Welcome to borderland hell under the U.S. President, highly incomplete (just the tip of the iceberg) list of videos and links to news/government agency reports for June 2022:
Between 01-07JUN2022, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) called Operation Cross Check. More than 1-hundred illegals were captured (which is nothing compared to the thousands captured during previous year’s Cross Check operations), most have convictions for crimes including, but not limited to, aggravated assault with a gun, robbery, burglary, kidnapping, hit and run, drug trafficking, and child molestation. Operation Cross Check has been conducted yearly since 2011. ICE video by Charles Reed:

U.S. taxpayers are now being raped to fund heat stress ‘Go-Bag’ kits being handed out to illegals in Arizona’s Tucson Sector! It is part of a 90 days study to make Border Patrol’s mission more ‘humanitarian’, eventually the Go-Bags will be issued across the U.S. southern land border.
Tucson Sector Border Patrol reports 2-thousand-1-hundred-and-92 ‘rescues’ in the month of May! On 09JUN2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, aka Border Patrol) issued a warning to illegals. The warning was about Mother Nature, and a 90 day ‘scale-up’ of border patrol operations, also, new taxpayer funded heat survival kits will be used to ‘rescue’ illegals. Video was edited for time reasons:
On 10JUN2022, citizens (what the USCG calls ‘good Samaritans’) reported a homemade boat (what the USCG calls a “rustic vessel”) about 7 miles south of Key West. The USCG says the illegals onboard are from Cuba, and claims they were returned on 14JUN2022.
Between 01JUN2022 and 12JUN2022, the USCG District 7 reported capturing at least 52 illegals from Cuba, who were using various forms of rustic vessels. The USCG claims they were returned on 14JUN2022.

In Houston, on 07JUN2022, Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston, Homeland Security Investigations Houston (HSI), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Houston and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Houston established a new Joint Intelligence and Operations Coordination Center to support Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana.
On 09JUN2022, USCG-Air Station Corpus Christi videoed Mexicans illegally fishing in U.S. water. A total of two illegal fishing boats, and six people, from Mexico were captured:
On 15JUN2022, El Paso Sector Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agent in Charge Gloria Chavez joined with Mexican Consul General in El Paso Mauricio Ibarra Ponce de Leon, to issue a warning to anybody trying to cross from Mexico into the United States. Video by Greg L. Davis:
Only NATO Germany’s PanzerHaubite (PzH) 2000, and NATO France’s CAESAR (CAmion Equipé d’un Système d’ARtillerie), are the only artillery systems delivered to Ukraine, so far, that can outrange the Russian systems. However, the numbers of PzH 2000 and CAESARs promised are just a piddly fraction of what Ukraine needs, and have yet to be delivered.
Video posted 22JUN2022, showing Russian ‘V’ (?, maybe Z) forces using an old-skool Cold War era towed rocket launcher against Ukrainian forces in Ugledar area:
Some NATO countries are sending more artillery systems, but they are the old Soviet era systems, like the 2S1 and 2S3, which do not give Ukraine a tactical advantage.
Music video, posted 09JUN2022, of Cold War era BM-27 220mm Uragan rocket launcher being used by Russian ‘Z’ forces against Ukraine:
Russian ground forces are so not worried about the U.S./NATO artillery ‘support’, that they themselves are using outdated artillery systems against Ukraine. This video was posted on 23JUN2022, showing Russians using Cold War era 152mm towed guns and BM-21 rocket launchers:
Another major problem for the U.S./NATO is that many of the delivered weapon systems (like the Javelin) were captured by Russian forces and are now being used by them against Ukraine!
The Österreichs Bundesheer (Austrian Federal-army) Theresian Military Academy critiques the U.S./NATO weapon systems being sent to Ukraine, pointing out that the amount are far below what Ukraine actually needs, and Ukrainians are not being properly trained on these weapons, resulting in “no significant effect on the battlefield” for Ukraine:

They have been assigned the official moniker of Task Force Rattler. They will be relieving Task Force Griz, another National Guard unit consisting of personnel from Florida, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Oregon (which deployed at the end of 2021).

Since 1958, NorAD’s purpose is to defend against enemy airborne attacks, mainly from Soviet Union, then so-called terrorists flying airliners, and now Russia.

More proof the global food crisis was long underway before Russia/Ukraine, caused mainly by a capitalist for-profit globalization market/logistics system.
Video posted 08JUN2022, Malaysian food crisis might be because local farms are forcefully being turned into housing projects:
The situation in Sri Lanka is so bad that enemies in the civil war have joined together to protest the government! This 07JUN2022 report explains that Sri Lank is the first to fall, and massive shortages of all things, including food, is not about actual shortages but about the for-profit capitalist globalist logistics/supply chain:
Jon Jandai points out that there is no justifiable reason for food shortages:
The NATO members started the whole thing by imposing food sanctions against Russia. On 06JUN2022, Wynken Blynken & Nod, I mean the U.S. Secretary of State, as well as the Secretary of Agriculture, continue the lie that Russia is causing the global food crisis. Secretary Blinken:

Malaysia suffering a chicken shortage due to most of its flocks being exported, so exports of chickens are now banned in an attempt to prevent hunger in Malaysia! Singapore is now suffering a chicken shortage, and price inflation, as a result of Malaysia’s export ban:
There are reports that Russia has amassed more than 20 battalions(?) for a major offensive in Donbass.
There are reports that Ukraine has received U.S. designed, NATO modified, M109 self propelled artillery guns, apparently from several NATO members (possibly Denmark and Norway). Ukrainian officials refused to say how many. An undisclosed amount of 155mm ammo was also received.
There are reports that Ukraine has received several Polish made Krab self propelled artillery guns. Reportedly, Polish news media says 18 Krabs were delivered, the Ukrainian crews were trained in NATO Poland.
The Österreichs Bundesheer (Austrian FederalArmy) is closely following combat tactics employed by both Russia and Ukraine. They are then presenting their analysis on social media. Their latest presentation on Donbass reveals, in the middle of the report, that U.S. supplied M777 artillery is incomplete, not allowing Ukrainians to use the more advanced and accurate projectiles. Also, it appears that Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbass have been abandoned by their government, as revealed by the first known cases of combat fatigue, caused by lack of supplies and replacements. The analyst goes on to quote the Wall Street Journal, which revealed that the administration of U. S. President Joseph R. Biden Junior is constantly changing its mind about promised military help over concerns Ukraine will use them to attack Russia directly:
