NATO: Russia has violated parity in the Black Sea region

The actions of the Russian military in the Black Sea violates the previously achieved equilibrium in this region, reports TASS Statement by the Special Representative of the NATO Secretary General for Central Asia and the Caucasus, James Appathurai.

Speaking on Tuesday to the participants of the forum dedicated to security in the Atlantic and the Black Sea region, Appaturai noted that after the Crimea was incorporated into the Russian Federation on the peninsula, “a lot of military equipment” was deployed.

According to him, all this has changed the balance in the region.

The representative of the alliance also said that the security of the Black Sea is closely linked to North Atlantic security.

He recalled that NATO will apply to Moscow an approach involving military deterrence and negotiations from a position of strength. The last meeting in the framework of the NATO-Russia Council Appathurai called "quite positive."

“Some progress has been made in the negotiations,” he noted. But hoping for a constructive dialogue, the alliance should not forget about defense, which must be strengthened in a “proportionate” manner, the NATO spokesman added.

Previously, Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that he needed to learn how to manage relations with Moscow. According to him, at the next NATO summit to be held in July, the leaders of the allied countries should support a dual approach to the Russian Federation.

... NATO’s little arms reach out to the Black Sea ... the bummer of your gentleman is uttermost, because you cannot see superiority in this sea like your ears without a mirror ...

... statement by the special representative of the NATO Secretary General in Central Asia and the Caucasus by James Appathurai.

Already sounds ridiculous .. where is NATO and where is Central Asia and the Caucasus ?? !!!! But there is a special representative !!!
...

[HAM]

Wait, soon they will organize a "NATO Special Representative" in the Crimea (in exile.

[Tatyana]

James Appathurai, the Special Representative of NATO Secretary General for Central Asia and the Caucasus, has again started his philosophizing about what should be primary in politics - the Russian “egg” in the Russian Crimea or the American “chicken” in the Black Sea ?! Or vice versa.

REFERENCE
James Appathurai (born James Appathurai; genus 7 August 1968, Toronto) is a Canadian journalist and former NATO spokesperson. He is currently the Special Representative of NATO Secretary General for the Transcaucasus and Central Asia. Born in Toronto, Canada, holds degrees from the University of Toronto and the University of Amsterdam.

NATO created in 1949 may soon cease to exist. Block faced serious internal problems. They are connected with the desire of the EU to create its own military organization, an analogue of NATO.

At the end of 2017, the European Council approved a new defense program called PESCO. 25 countries have joined the program, including Germany and France. It is officially proclaimed that this organization will not be a competitor to NATO, but there is a different opinion.

European states no longer want to pay 2% of GDP to the alliance’s budget, as Washington requires. Another reason is the EU’s dissatisfaction with Trump’s policy towards Iran. Due to US sanctions, European business could suffer huge losses. Wait and see.

Where would such happiness come from? I thought you were older to believe in such "Wishlist."
There are no prerequisites for this. On the contrary, the number of warriors and conflicts around the world will grow. And military organizations will be in demand. And the number of people wishing to join NATO is not reduced

[kit88]

I wonder why the state of the Russian Defense Ministry has not yet introduced the post of military commandant of London and military commandant of Washington?
And not just formally, but the commandants appointed to the post are not sent to the place of new service in London and Washington, respectively!

It has always been Central Asia, and for some reason it has become Central. A tribute to fashion, or Western influence?

Russia violated parity in the Black Sea region

And no one promised them goats that there would be parity. Especially if they support a "dual approach to the Russian Federation."

[conservative]

a squeak about parity at the time when 16 geese at the border are running around with guns in the Baltic exercises - this is a brain disease

What did you want ?, this is NATO, they can say this about the Caspian and Baikal

Appathurai noted that after the Crimea entered the Russian Federation, "a lot of military equipment" was transferred to the peninsula.

On our territory we place at least a public toilet, at least a combined army.

He recalled that NATO will apply an approach to Moscow that provides for military deterrence and negotiations from a position of strength

Sterosov’s club would better remember how this approach ended for Napoleon and Hitler.

[A good one]

Bored and uncomfortable became them in this region.

[Sergey39]

What parity can NATO talk about in the Russian Sea?

[Guru]

But do Motherboards do not upset the balance of power in the Gulf of Mexico.

[gukoyan]

They violate a lot of things and where, only our government shows its concern in words.

[Black sniper]

There their territory is like our World Cup!

[cost]

Appathurai noted that after the Crimea entered the Russian Federation, “a lot of military equipment was transferred to the peninsula

And to his great regret - not a single set of lace panties
according to NATO, this seriously violates the coward’s circuit in nature

[An60]

I’ll clarify: “cowardice in nature.”

[gukoyan]

"... that after the Crimea entered the Russian Federation," a lot of military equipment was transferred to the peninsula ... "

Heh, if they hadn’t done this, then the Maidan people were doing garbage in the Crimea and not only ...
Especially within our border, we can do anything, even walk on our ears, and do not care about the left opinion of the nats from a high mountain.

[st2st]

Igor, well, first of all, NATA didn’t think so (what we can do within our borders, whatever), they generally did not consider us a serious player in the Black Sea basin (to the Crimea), rather, an annoying, temporary misunderstanding, but secondly, in Constanta and Varna they are always glad to see the ships of mattress-beds, and their dogs, all sorts of huskies (France, Great Britain). Here, only, to the annoyance of the gentlemen from Fashington, Crimea, the dog turned out to be Russian. All plans - to hell. Sadness, however, for the wet dreams of Americans.

[Masya masya]

after the Crimea entered the Russian Federation “a lot of military equipment” was transferred to the peninsula

our land, as much as we want and wherever we want, we move there ... so wipe it off ...

[bouncyhunter]

Marisha! Whose cow would mumble about "violations", and the NATO and especially the mattress would be silent.

[rocket757]

Those. prepare your denyushki and buy, from the striped ones, the elements of this same “equilibrium”!
Such a direct hint / indication to their smaller brothers from the same, Black Sea region!
Everything is clear.

[bouncyhunter]

In their desire to cut dibs from any event, the mattresses surpassed even comrades who were extremely unloved by Iran.

[rocket757]

Greed, she is immense!
On the other hand, the right of the strong try to challenge him?
It is heard immediately in the air - Then we go to YOU! -

[bouncyhunter]

Favorite scheme, repeatedly worked out ...

[rocket757]

Yes, yes, the scheme is still the same ... either the flower garden in your garden will be divorced, your own!
Or sounds from the sky are heard ... flying rockets and planes!

[Alex-a832]

But is it not a NATO sly face that has violated the agreement on a demilitarized zone on the territory of the Warsaw Pact countries? ... As a result, a heavy bolt has been put on the NATO opinion. Russia is only returning parity with NATO in this region, but has not yet reached it ...

[rocket757]

And who will cheat on that face !!! It’s clear, right along that brazen red \ striped face!

Only he seemed to sing about one Volga? What you petty, with interest do you want?

No, about two. I remember evrything. For one voucher - two Volga. By the way, some guy sued these two Volga, he just did not get anything.

[rocket757]

And it was necessary to start with the process of tail clamping or something else, no less sensitive, with a DOOR!

[midshipman]

That is what Crimea Ukrainians and the USA were preparing for. There, the US bases were to be located at 4 points. What kind of violation are we talking about. In Crimea, we had 26 airfields, an RSDN system, more than 30 radar stations, and much more. From the post on Ay Petri, I could easily see the Turkish coast. I will not give other data. Crimea is the original Russian land, also eae Odessa, Kheson.

[Alexey-74]

Crimea is Russian again, and this, in their opinion, violates the Balance, I want to ask the balance of what? The one that the West itself installed? Now the balance is just what you need! No FIG NATO was crawling to the borders of Russia.

[Mountain shooter]

From a position of strength does not work already? Ai-yi-yay what a misfortune ... Well, pick up the strength, and we'll see ...

[Zubr]

Again, this statement is not surprising. We flew on sanctions, we need to win back our positions on something. An attempt to spin another spiral in the style: "KARAUL RUSSIAN GO!" They have already lost their influence in the Black Sea, now they will go out of their way to spoil us, such as another redistribution: "SOUTH FLOW", Pressure on its participants, and then Svidomo brothers with their paper ambitions. In general, the USA, these bastards are cunning and, as time has shown, they are crushed by intellect. If there weren’t Russia, they would have come up with another horror story for wringing money from their partners.

[bolt]

Personally, in his words it bothers me

He recalled that NATO will take an approach to Moscow, providing for military deterrence and negotiations from a position of strength. Appathurai called the last meeting in the framework of the NATO-Russia Council "quite positive."

and here it is

In negotiations “some progress” madehe noted.

I would like to understand where this optimism comes from, and what kind of “some progress” it is?

[Weyland]

In diplomatic language, the phrase "Some progress has been made in the negotiations" should be understood as "it won’t reach the war in the coming days"

[Altona]

But the ground-based missile defense systems of the "third position area" in Romania did not upset the "balance" in the Black Sea region? Aren't the MK-41 universal launchers capable of launching cruise missile cruise missiles?

[Evil 55]

This "Moskvich" on the screen saver with its appearance has already intimidated the unfortunate NAT ..

[infantryman2020]

This is a typical Russian marine.

horror story for Bander logs - they always call us "Mongolok-c-pami "

[NF68]

On its territory, Russia has the right to do what it considers necessary to ensure its security. This NATO is creeping closer and closer to the borders of Russia, and not a turn.

And why should they be drawn when, out of 6 countries of the Black Sea basin, 3 enter NATO. What about superiority in this sea? Take a look at the Turkish Navy in this region. Their fleet will certainly be stronger than our Black Sea. Well, or at least equal. Plus ships of Bulgaria and Romania. In any case, we do not have superiority in the Black Sea. Do not entertain yourself with illusions

And what, much time is left before Georgia joins NATO? Here you have the Caucasus. And Central Asia is a distant prospect, but they are already preparing for this. On the one hand, they created an appropriate structure, on the other hand, they begin to court the countries of the Central Asian region. The time passed when the North Atlantic countries entered NATO, and NATO was called the organization of the North Atlantic bloc

Quote: Sergey39

What parity can NATO talk about in the Russian Sea?

And does someone in the world recognize the status of the Russian Sea for the Black Sea? Or live the memories of distant ages?

Quote: st2st

and their dogs, all sorts of sheluponi (France, Great Britain)

Strongly said. Are you the two nuclear powers that you consider to be a husk, and what is more, in terms of economic potential, those that are already superior to our Russia?

Quote: Alex-a832

But is it not a NATO cunning face that violated the agreement on a demilitarized zone on the territory of the Warsaw Pact countries? ...

Was there such an agreement? Or were there just the words whether Kolya or Thatcher said to Gorbochev that NATO would not expand to the East. Words, not signed agreements. So they shook us like suckers, thanks to "dear Mikhail Sergeyevich"
As for the Crimea, they certainly say it in vain. If they adhered to the provisions of the Helsinki Agreement on the OSCE, then we could also make claims against us. And since all the documents of this agreement have sunk into oblivion, incl. and agreements on flank restrictions, there is nothing to say now about what we did wrong on our own territory. The train left, gentlemen, and you yourself made it leave without passengers

[1536]

Russia “violated” parity on the Black Sea in its favor as 300 years ago, i.e. when nobody heard about the USA and NATO. In addition, Russia has repeatedly proved that there is nothing better than the existing parity and cannot be.

[PValery53]

"NATO: Russia violated parity in the Black Sea region"
- Violated or did not violate, - and this "question" is not a matter of the NATO mind. Get out! - NATO - NORTH ATLANTIC bloc! For interference in our affairs NATO will be hurt!

[net0103net]

How unpleasant it is to realize that some kind of fools from abroad have views on the benefit of containment measures, the border of which passes between the two Slavic peoples along the original Russian territory.

[kefan]

Well, they are hypocrites and arrogant, they still have to look for such. But they did not violate parity when they included a number of countries into NATO members and advanced to our borders ?!

[Yasen Ping]

and he wouldn’t go on foot, our black sea, and the point ...

[Ros 56]

Actually, NATO is a North Atlantic alliance, and a military one, so let them communicate with whales in the Greenland region. This is the first. Second, you need to make them understand, and in all seriousness, politics is not your dog thing, but you will twitch in our seas, you will communicate with the sea king, he has been waiting for you at the bottom for a long time.

[Ivan58]

And do you actually need to do it there? And you would not go to x ......

[militia2]

Nice to hear that.
Off topic: to give all our pensioners a free ticket in the summer or autumn to the Crimea! I would have forgiven much of our powerful kleptomaniacs for such a step! And so that all the children from Russia there to recover in the summer. Oh, ma!

[Vkd dvk]

Russia will change equilibrium in the Black Sea from NATO to equilibrium off the US coast. And he will talk to them from a position of strength.

Black Sea security is closely linked to North Atlantic security.

where is the north atlantic and where is the black sea? !!!!
