So that's 7,000 naval and air personnel just in the Black Sea area.
Then there are the NATO troops that have been involved in exercises in Ukraine. Why the need to hold the exercises on Russia's doorstep?
Two years ago, NATO planned exercises(Neptune Strike 22) due for next month in the Med, involving at least 3 carrier groups. Is that meant to be a sign of aggressive intent?
NATO exercises seem to be more about systems, than numbers. Why else would one of them in Ukraine involve the Washington National Guard?

Because the point of exercises is to simulate what might happen in the real world should an aggressor decide to attack, including where it would happen - the layout of the land is very important.
It seems strange you don’t have the same passion about the Russian aggression/annexation in Crimea, and the ongoing fighting since then between Russian proxy forces and Ukraine - or is it OK because it’s Russia?
