NATO’s Steadfast is its Largest Military Exercise since the Cold War – Pecunia et Bellum

Many military exercises go unnoticed as they do not produce a tangible result that is noticeable by the broad population. This one stands out due to its scale, geographical breadth, and timing given heightened tensions with Russia. Steadfast involved 90,000 personnel and extensive military assets across 13 countries, which underscores a strategic response to Russia’s aggression in Europe (despite the perceived decline of NATO’s relevance in recent years). Another thing worth adding is how only a few days ago China completed its naval exercise around Taiwan. One is offensive, one is defensive.
