...because Pentagon generals are to stupid and demented to know anything else.

Enough is never enough for delusional predator psychopaths, as the Western Predator psychopath war mongering scum hide behind 'national defense' as an excuse to fully implement their long sought after WW3.

This massive 'drill exercise' has nothing to do with defending anything, but only pro-active aggression against the selected 'enemy of the day', which the Usrael/NATO predator states desire to war against.

It matters not to the Usrael/NATO predator morons that sovereign nations chosen by the west as 'enemies' in this international aggression plan, have no interest whatsoever in attacking the Western destroyer class nations.

It is always Usrael/NATO acting as the aggressor, and then blaming the sovereign nations they destroy for the Western psychopaths own acts of unprovoked aggression.

We can only hope these wastes of skin excuses for human beings destroy themselves while they envelope the entire planet in more death, destruction, and global conflict.

NATO, Pentagon and military intelligence international criminal goons see this multi-national planned aggression offensive as a last ditch effort to prop up the failing petro-dollar, which is going down no matter what these morons attempt to prevent the demise of predatory fiat fractional reserve banking.

Stupid is as stupid does.

US Military to Conduct Large-Scale Drills to Counter 'Strategic Threats'

A massive exercise involving many, if not all, of nine US combatant commands will target an array of strategic threats facing the United States and its allies, the Department of Defense’s US Strategic Command (STRATCOM) announced in a press release on Friday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) –

Beginning Saturday, the drill entitled "Global Lightning 2016" will integrate "nearly every conceivable strategic threat to our nation to ensure the resilience, redundancy and survivability of our strategic deterrent forces, while stressing the STRATCOM capabilities provided to geographic combatant commanders in a crisis or contingency," the release noted.

While the release did not name specific threats, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter lists five targets for US military deterrence in nearly every public speech.

They are: Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and Islamist-inspired terrorist attacks.

"To deter strategic threats and defend the nation, our forces must be ready and prepared to execute all assigned missions and provide our unique capabilities to the joint and combined force," STRATCOM Commander Admiral Cecil D. Haney said in the release.

STRATCOM, one of nine commands that direct US military operations worldwide, is in charge of overall strategic deterrence, space operations, cyberspace operations, joint electronic warfare, missile defense, intelligence, and combating weapons of mass destruction, the release explained.

Most of the eight remaining commands are specific to geographic regions such as the Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia. For example, US Central Command (CENTCOM) is responsible for the battle against terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
