  Today, Saturday September 9, 2023, NATO began a snap military exercise named “Northern Coast” in the Baltic Sea near St. Petersburg, Russia. The “exercise” involves about 30 ships and more than 3,000 NATO member-country service members.  It will, for the first time, practice how to respond to a Russian assault in the region, Germany’s navy chief said on Friday.

  “We are sending a clear message of vigilance to Russia: Not on our watch,” Vice-Admiral Jan Christian Kaack told reporters in Berlin. “Credible deterrence must include the ability to attack.“
