==Criticism of NATO 2016 provocation==
On June 6, 2016, symbolically on the anniversary of the [[Normandy invasion]], [[NATO]] launches aggressive exercises against [[Russia]]. It begins war games with 31,000 troops near Russia’s borders, the largest exercise in [[Eastern Europe]] since the [[Cold War]] ended. For the first time in 75 years, [[German]] troops retrace the steps of the [[Operation Barbarossa|Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union]] across [[Poland]]. German Foreign Minister [[Frank Walter-Steinmeier]] objects. "What we shouldn’t do now is inflame the situation further through saber-rattling and [[warmonger]]ing," Steinmeier stunningly tells ''[Bild am Sontag'' newspaper. "Whoever believes that a symbolic [[tank]] parade on the alliance's eastern border will bring security is mistaken." Instead Steinmeier calls for dialogue with [[Moscow]]. "We are well-advised to not create pretexts to renew an old confrontation," he warns, adding it would be "fatal to search only for [[military]] solutions and a [[policy]] of deterrence."
