According to a CNN article, large military exercises have been taking place near the United Kingdom. Although some believe that the training comes in response to Russia's recent aggressiveness, NATO has stated that the two are unrelated, claiming that "...planning started long before Russia began behaving as an adversary."
With tensions high between the two, military exercises of this caliber in Europe are not to be taken lightly, and are reasonably understood to be dangerous. The article claims that "...it's likely pretend war follows," which is a reasonable claim considering the very different motivations between NATO and Russia, as well as the military capacity of the two powers.
