What are EU rapid deployment forces and goals of upcoming drills?
Fifteen EU member states and over 1,700 soldiers are set to participate in the European Union's second Live Military Exercise (LIVEX) in Bergen, Germany, from November 25 to December 10, according to the European External Action Service (EEAS). The exercise is part of the EU's Strategic Compass plan, which is to create a European Union Rapid Deployment Capacity (EU RDC) to strengthen the bloc's security and defense capabilities by 2030.
What is EU RDC?
▫️ designed for rapid crisis response outside the EU, it was introduced in 2022;
▫️ created to enable swift deployment for crisis management;
▫️ consists of up to 5,000 troops, including land, air, and maritime components.
What is the purpose of the drills?
🔘 An integral part of the wider MILEX24, the drills are intended to test the interoperability of the EU’s rapid deployment forces to prepare them for potential high-intensity conflicts.
🔘 The maneuvers will be conducted under the command of Eurocorps and the German Army Command.
What will the drills involve?
◽️ Common operation will be tested at three command and staff stages: strategic, tactical, and operational.
◽️ The drills will involve the field deployment of a battlegroup comprising mountain infantry, a light/reinforced infantry unit, medical parts of the Medical Task Force (MED TF), and Austria’s Combat Service Support Battalion.
◽️Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Hungary, Croatia, Ireland, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and Sweden will participate in the multinational maneuvers.
The EU held its previous live exercises in 2023 in Spain, citing the perceived security threat from Russia. President Vladimir Putin dismissed these claims as baseless, calling them a tactic to mislead the public and justify increased military spending.

In an era where the West appears to be once again spoiling for war with Russia, the wisdom of Marshal Georgy Zhukov's famous words feels more relevant than ever. His insights, forged in the crucible of some of the most devastating conflicts in history, serve as a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences of war. As tensions escalate and rhetoric grows more bellicose, Zhukov’s words stand as a powerful reminder of the true intentions of the capitalist countries of Europe.

Greece is paralyzed by a militant general strike. Workers are refusing to work for low wages amid the sky-rocketing cost of living under the neoliberal Mitsotakis government.
Solidarity with Palestine is also present at the mobilization. Last month, Greek dockers refused to load ammunition shipments destined for Israel.

The British Armed Forces cuts were announced just hours after Storm Shadow cruise missiles were fired into Russia for the first time.
As well as the Army’s Watchkeeper drone program, the Royal Navy’s Landing Platform Docks, HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark and the Type 23 frigate HMS Northumberland will also be scrapped.
UK defense sec John Healey also confirmed that the wave class tankers RFA Wave Knight and RFA Wave Ruler were to be axed, as well as 14 of the RAF’s oldest Chinooks and 17 Puma Helicopters.
As London ramps up the war rhetoric, behind the scenes it is weakening its defenses… It’s an expensive business propping up Kiev.

The Merseyside Pension Fund handles the pensions of many thousands of public-sector workers in the region and has been found to have significant investments in a company called NCH Capital.
Formed in 1993, NCH has made billions in profits from the privatisation of land in the former socialist countries of eastern Europe. Before the counter-revolutions of 1989-91, land in the USSR and socialist bloc countries was considered to be the property of the whole people – that was a clause in the Soviet constitution. The land was worked by collective farms, cooperatives and some small-scale farmers.
Following the counter-revolutions that destroyed the socialist systems, the land was sold off to companies like NCH Capital, which picked up the land at knock-down prices and profited massively thereby. One of their big targets was Ukraine, known as the ‘bread basket of Europe’ on account of its highly fertile soil. NCH Capital’s deals with the Kiev dictatorship led to its becoming one of the largest landowners in the country.
Such business deals enrich NCH capital and bring a huge return to investors – all on the back of robbing the Ukrainian people blind.

The Irish Citizen Army (ICA), a paramilitary group founded on November 23, 1913, by James Larkin, James Connolly, and Jack White, emerged from the Lockout of 1913 in Dublin to protect workers' demonstrations against police violence.
Initially armed with hurleys and bats, the ICA was established as a workers' militia by the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union.
In 1916, it played a key role in the Easter Rising, standing out for its superior training and cohesion compared to the larger Irish Volunteers.
The ICA later participated in the War of Independence, managing parts of Dublin and assisting the Irish Republican Army in operations against British rule.
