OREANDA-NEWS US Marines are preparing for war with Russia in Europe, said military expert Caleb Larson. According to him, in 2022, NATO is conducting several military exercises in Norway at once. Larson noted that the US Marine Corps began to rearm due to the threat from China, but the situation has changed due to the military operation in Ukraine.

«The US Navy and Marines are preparing for war in Europe. In light of Russia's special operation in Ukraine, cooperation with allies in Europe is becoming increasingly important for American security. <...> Although the US Marine Corps and Navy would like to focus exclusively on the threat posed by China, Russia will pose a serious and real danger for a long time», the expert believes.

Earlier, US Army Secretary Christine Wormut said that the ground forces are monitoring the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and take into account information about its progress during exercises in California. She added that «US Army instructors are already using the lessons learned» from Russia's special operation in Ukraine.

It was also reported about the joint military exercises of the United States and Japan on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. It will be held for two weeks from September to October and will be the largest exercises conducted with the participation of US Marines in Japan.
