00:00:00.000 talk about the situation latvia where you have been and now of course we have our soldiers and

00:00:06.240 others stationed i think within 35 miles of the border somewhere around there or kilometers

00:00:12.560 anyway pretty close uh does this give you any concern that our soldiers could end up drawn into

00:00:18.400 a firefight with the russians well look not to sound alarmist this is part of an exercise let's

00:00:26.000 call it but as you've outlined this is a large number um the largest deployment into that region

00:00:33.760 uh really in in history and uh you know roughly 3 000 soldiers participating 14 nato countries but

00:00:42.160 2 000 of them are canadians and they've been there for some five months taking part in training

00:00:47.680 exercises they're under very solid experienced leadership but you know to answer your question

00:00:52.960 any time you're within proximity of the russian border at a time like this where we know that

00:01:01.600 they made an illegal unilateral attack on a neighboring country mainly ukraine

00:01:08.800 and heightened tensions as they are could lead to an accident it could lead to a misinterpretation

00:01:16.800 of this exercise and with autonomous warfare with drones already making excursions they're

00:01:23.120 documented excursions into neighboring countries including latvia including finland including

00:01:30.320 obvious border countries that are supportive of ukraine as latvia is as a nato country

00:01:38.720 the russians very often will try to position themselves as having been provoked and asymmetrical

00:01:45.680 warfare doesn't necessarily mean just a full frontal confrontation. It can be the type of

00:01:52.720 cyber and drone autonomous attacks that we've seen in the past, including

00:01:57.880 on an airport in Germany not that many months ago.
