Near Peer Threats and Russo-Ukraine War, 2014 to present.
Just a little bit of what U.S. led NATO is doing in relation to the ‘Ukraine Crisis’, for the month of May 2022. This does not included supposedly already planned in advance NATO war games.

In NATO Latvia, on 06MAY2022, NATO Slovakian troops showed off to U.S. personnel from Fort Riley, Kansas, their newest self propelled artillery system, the Zuzana-2, which is an upgraded-improved version of the Zuzana, which itself is an improved version of the Cold War-Warsaw Pact DANA. This is ironic, because during the Cold War Czechoslovakia was part of the Soviet led Warsaw Pact, today Slovakia is part of NATO.

For the first time, the Georgia Air National Guard’s 116th Air Control Wing and the 165th Airlift Wing were deployed to NATO Germany, at the same time!
On 14MAY2022, NATO Germany issued a promotional video explaining Germany’s history/“five facts” with NATO. It states that “Germany” joined NATO in 1955, the problem with this misleading statement is that there was no singular Germany in 1955, it was West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany, NATO) and East Germany (German Democratic Republic, Warsaw Pact):
APS-2 ‘secondary’ equipment are issued to a Colorado Army National Guard unit in Estonia. U.S. Army photo by Major James Maskovyak, 17MAY2022.
The U.S. Army (USA) continues issuing vehicles and equipment from its APS-2 (Army Prepositioned Stocks-2) sites in NATO Europe, now under the guise of the yearly NATO wargame called Defender Europe. As I’ve pointed out in previous articles, this is the first time APS-2 equipment has been issued (beginning on 01MAR2022), and the Ukraine crisis was the original excuse! The USA is also building a massive new APS-2 site in NATO Poland!

On 17MAY2022, NATO began something new; it is not officially a wargame, it is officially a “vigilance activity” called Neptune Shield that involves NATO navies in the Baltic, Adriatic and Mediterranean. A U.S. Navy report revealed that this is part of Project Neptune, which was planned in 2020, two years ago!
NATO video, meeting of NATO on 19MAY2022, about halfway through the video you can hear the Chair of the Military Committee state that this is “a new show” and go-on to make the statement that it is “…our adversary…. ….Russia…”:

Flags of some of the NATO members who took part in a wargame in NATO Poland. But notice the flag of Sweden, which is still not officially part of NATO!
NATO Turkey blocks Finland & Sweden from joining, accuses them of being breeding grounds for terrorism!
