If Stoltenberg thinks for a fraction of a second that any country in the
world is going to permit a foreigner — any foreigner at all, even an
ally — to be present when, for example,
new weapons or series of tactics are tried out, then he is a fool. And
he’s not a fool : just devious, and intent on staying on the front pages
of Western newspapers and scaremongering about Russia in an energetic
and all too successful campaign to expand the obsolete US-NATO alliance.
