The State Department, "as a precautionary measure against a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine", ordered the evacuation of family members and part of the US Embassy staff in Kyiv, which is among the largest in Europe with 900 officials, and raised the warning to the highest risk level 4 to US citizens not to go to Ukraine. Immediately afterward, the Foreign Office announced with the same motivation the withdrawal of its staff from the British Embassy in Kyiv. These psychological warfare operations are aimed at creating alarm about an imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine and the three Baltic republics, and are preparing a further and even more dangerous US-NATO escalation against Russia.
The White House announced that President Biden is considering "deploying several thousand US troops, warships and planes to NATO countries in the Baltic and Eastern Europe." It is initially expected that 5,500 US soldiers will arrive joining the 4,000 already in Poland, and followed by another three thousand, they will extend their permanent deployment to the Baltic as requested by Latvia. Special railway convoys are already transporting US tanks from Poland to Ukraine, whose armed forces have been trained for years, and in fact, commanded by hundreds of US military advisers and instructors flanked by others from NATO. Washington, which last year supplied Kyiv with weapons in the official amount of 650 million dollars, authorized Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to transfer US weapons in their possession to Ukraine, in particular Javelin missiles. Other armaments are supplied by Great Britain and the Czech Republic.
NATO reports that Alliance European countries are putting their armed forces in a state of operational readiness and sending other warships and air fighters to deployments in Eastern Europe. Italy has taken command of the NATO mission of "enhanced air police" in Romania with the Eurofighter-bombers. France is ready to send troops to Romania under NATO command. Spain is sending warships into the NATO naval forces and fighter-bombers to Bulgaria. The Netherlands is preparing to send F-35 fighters to Bulgaria. Denmark sends F-16 fighters to Lithuania.
Yesterday the great naval exercise NATO Neptune Strike '22 began in the Mediterranean under the command of Vice-Admiral Eugene Black, commander of the Sixth Fleet with headquarters in Naples Capodichino, and base in Gaeta. The US nuclear aircraft carrier Harry Truman participates in the exercise, which is going to last 12 days, with its battle group including 5 missile units ready for a nuclear attack to "reassure the European allies, especially on the Eastern front threatened by Russia".
Immediately after the NATO Neptune Strike '22, the Clemenceau 22 Mission exercise will take place in February which will involve the French nuclear-powered carrier Charles de Gaulle with its battle group also including a nuclear attack submarine, which will enter the Adriatic; the Harry Truman carrier with its battle group, and the Italian Cavour carrier with F-35s on board. This exercise, of course, is also directed against Russia.
While NATO orders Russia to "deescalate", warning it that "any further aggression will entail a high cost for Moscow", the foreign ministers of the European Union gathered in Brussels and connected by teleconference with US Secretary of State Blinken - yesterday decreed other measures against Russia.

The 27 countries of the European Union, of which 21 members belong to NATO under US command, echo the NATO warning to Russia declaring that "any further military aggression against Ukraine would have very serious consequences for Russia". In this way, the EU participates in the strategy of tension through which the US creates fractures in Europe to keep it under its influence.
