"Russians are building up military power and are provocative" - ​​US Navy Admiral

The United States should significantly increase the combat capabilities of its naval forces, which are responsible for containing Russia. This requirement was voiced by the commander of the US Navy in Europe, Admiral James Foggo, indicating that this must be done in the first place, despite the increase in tension around the world.

With his words, he sees more and more Russian ships, submarines and airplanes in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, as well as in the Baltic, Black and Mediterranean Seas, constantly monitors the statements and actions of Russians, "escalating the situation in this region."

At the same time, the 6 fleet of the USA, which it oversees, has at its disposal on a regular basis "only four destroyers, two expeditionary vehicles and a command ship." Foggo literally requires more.

As he explained, in 2018 he managed to get the AUG to carry out combat deployment in European waters for the first time in many years. Then, airborne forces acted here, and did not spend all their time in the Middle East, participating in the operations of the 5th fleet.

Before us were Russians who flew their Bears [Tu-95 bombers] and other means aviation in the vicinity of the aircraft carrier. We could conduct professional operations to intercept real targets. Therefore, I think that overall it was a huge success

- notes Foggo.

TU-95MS

“Russians surround”

However, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to convince the Joint Staff to “send limited fleet resources to this corner of the world,” the military complains, indicating that a lack of strength causes the "subordinates" to become tired. For example, the 6 fleet spends 125 days a year in the Black Sea, as many as NATO ships.

The Russians are building up their combat power, saturating the region with ships, submarines and jet aircraft, and are behaving more and more provocatively. If you are listening to the Russian president, he talks about all kinds of new products - hypersonic, underwater weapons systems, torpedoes, longer-range missiles, which will eventually end up in the Russian arsenal. I think this is an escalation

- said Foggo.

According to him, the Russians built a powerful zone of "access ban" by "militarizing Kaliningrad" by deploying numerous systems "that allow you to aim at NATO troops while they are in the Baltic states." They did the same in Crimea, threatening US forces and the alliance in the Black Sea. Things are not better in Syria.

It became very lively in the Eastern Mediterranean. We see an increasing number and presence of Russian warships in the area that we have not seen here before.

- said the admiral, noting that as an adequate response, it is necessary to immediately begin to strengthen regional forces as a deterrent.

The Russian new wunderwaffes turned the American fleet and army into a bunch of old trash. The United States is embroiled in a new arms race launched by Russia. It seems that Russia will nevertheless take revenge for the betrayal of Mishka the Tagged. The United States runs the risk of repeating the fate of the USSR in the new Cold War. Despite their printing press, they will go broke themselves and bankrupt their allies in the new race.

Kind! You do not confuse the rearmament and restoration of the combat effectiveness of our aircraft after the dashing 90's with an arms race ... Look at the history of the question: who was the first to launch programs on stealth technologies, hypersound, laser and other technologies ... Or do you think that Russia after the collapse The sun should remain in a kneeling state, and not interfere with the liberal Yabloko lick the fifth point to Uncle Sam !?

And what, the printing press helped them 22,3 TRILLION (!) Public debt write off? A bankrupt country, a world urk that mocks economic laws - has it not yet gone bankrupt? And do you expect that the old EUROPE should also go bankrupt? and there is no one to turn on the brains and send the Yankees to the forest? Trade war - that is what awaits the States and Europe!

If completely in a truncated version, then before the bandits periodically came out of life "according to concepts" and "out of bounds" they beat each other arrows and brought down those who were unwanted for the redistribution of spheres of influence and protection of kiosks, although both of them were sent to the common fund and listened to one and the same same prison chanson. This is what is happening now, this is almost the same, only on a global scale - big guys are sharing the resources of the planet, hammering arrows in Syria, in Ukraine, then in Libya, but everyone is deducted to the IMF and practice "capitalism".

This is us yourself in the Black Sea escalating the situation! ?? But does the Black Sea belong to the Americans or NATO, or does it border the territory of the USA? !! Did I miss something ?!!

Here’s the mystery of how having the largest military budget in the world have such weak groups

At the same time, the US 6th Fleet, which he oversees, has at its disposal on a regular basis "only four destroyers, two expeditionary transports and a command ship."

And How

Foggo literally requires more.

if there’s nowhere else to go. The question arises about the effectiveness of the use of allocated funds.

Duc ... if you try to protect national interests in every godforsaken corner of the world - there’s no fleet and budget. The situation reminds Britain of the beginning of the last century: RN seems to have a crowd of armadillos, only they are spread out from the Canal to the Far East.

I just don’t understand what mattresses are doing in the Black Sea. Pintak and pintagon vayaks, explain

[Umalta]

There is such an entity, such as a country, called banderlogia, they dug up the Black Sea and consider it theirs, so they invite all kinds of different people there.

[AlexVas44]

One gets the impression that for American admirals (generals) those who look with a clear look do not look away and do not lower their eyes, they are provocateurs, etc. Not according to their understanding
... Well, do not bend ...

[Sergey985]

If they are so scared, can it be time to capitulate to the mercy of the winner?

[Operator]

It is time to restore the historical names of the East European seas - Murmansk, Varyazhskoe and Russian

Well, it is clear that when at sea there is only one country, then everyone (this country) is well and calm.
They can help de-escalation, simply remove oneself from these regions, and everyone will immediately feel as good as they were before.

[eagle owl]

Do not tease the animal! And in general, put the muzzle back to death.
The Russians are treacherously approaching the NATO bases freshly built at their borders ... Alcoholism is not a joke. Or is it already an addiction?

[pafegosoff]

"... and the Arctic Oceans, ..."
the admiral did not add: "Under the ice, underground and on the moon ... and most of all in my latrine!"

[pafegosoff]

"Katz offers to surrender!"

[Ross xnumx]

We see an increasing number and presence of Russian warships in this area that we have not seen here before

These are the miracles tablet # 6 does. Soon you, Mr. Admiral, will restore taste and memory ...

[Alexey-74]

The whole hysteria, as always, boils down to: "give more", careerism (then they write the truth in their memoirs), and politicking - Russians are bad guys ...

[Sergey39]

All they have to do is complain. It's time to close in the soy "corner" and keep quiet. Then it will be too late.

[Lapunevsky]

In fact, the Baltic and the Black Sea are located on the borders of Russia. Kaliningrad is the territory of Russia. It will be surprising if Russian ships, planes and air defense are not present in these areas. Will anyone tell the US admiral about this? And then he may have never seen a map ...

[kimlykvp]

The Yankees once visited the Ministry of Defense Forestall, he shouted “Russians are coming!” jumped out of the window of his office. See after him all the military leaders of the states are sick on the head.

Across the oceans
Only the Americans go.
With this thought, slowly
Admiral from the USA
He impressed himself impressively
All are hung with medals.

Only the brave admiral
Almost the uniform didn’t "mess."
Yes, and how can one not be taken aback?
Daily dispatches
They send warriors from everywhere
To him the abyss - the dog.

In the waters of the Mediterranean
And along the waves of the Black Sea,
And in the northern seas
Dissecting here and there,
Without fear of the narrow straits,
Russian marine fleet (Russian).

Who are you, "bad mother"
Have you decided to scare?
There are threats, Mr. Foggo,
They will look wretched.
And your sixth "brave" fleet
Let him not open his mouth.

Our sailor has been tested in battle,
Restrained, polite and educated,
But the aggressor will cool ...
The Russian fleet is and will be!

[Ros 56]

Come on admiral, save yourself, the Russians will soon surround all of America.

[cniza]

Almost we are present in the quiet, Atlantic and Arctic oceans, left from the south - maybe Venezuela?

[Vlad5307]

For FSA admirals to sleep peacefully, they need to get out of Europe and other regions of the world. Do not interfere with other countries to live and develop. There is no need to create and arm a variety of terrorists in these countries to stop their development. And the Euro-vassals are already beginning to understand what shit the Amer uncle drove them into.

[Kontrik]

For example, the 6th Fleet spends 125 days a year in the Black Sea, the same number of NATO ships.

And I didn’t know ha ha ha ..This is the 6th US fleet that used to scare the world with its presence ..?
We in Russia confused you with all the cards .. And now you complain and we constantly introduce sanctions to us ....
Behind the fogs, forever drunk ... As they say, we are few, but we are in vests.

[Dikson]

Actually, the US Navy has absolutely no hell to do either in the Black, Baltic or Mediterranean Sea .. On the other hand, it’s very unfortunate that we don’t hear the statements of our Navy leadership that the Americans are getting under our feet in the Caribbean. .

[APASUS]

Well, the real goal of all these scarecrows comes out - additional injections of funds are needed! It can be assumed that a similar article will appear tomorrow, with frightening prospects for the US Navy, compared with the Chinese Navy

[Vkd dvk]

These Russians do not allow breathing, neither in the Baltic Sea, nor in the Black, nor in the Mediterranean ..... Crimea was taken away, scum .....

[Astronaut]

And shouting "Russians are coming" Admiral Foggo threw himself out the window!

[Dr. Hub]

With regards to the Crimea and Kaliningrad - our territories, what we want, we do. International waters - all within international standards

[Sapsan136]

Let the US admiral sit in the Gulf of Mexico and do not climb to the shores of the Russian Federation arranging provocations against the Russian Federation, it will be more intact!

[tolmachiev51]

I would like to ask one question - did you forget there !!! ??? If we consider the presence of the military as aggression, then aggressor No. 1 in the world is phishington.

[sgr291158]

You would rather look at yourself.

[Polar Bear]

In fact, the Americans have such enormous superiority at sea that the statement of this admiral has only one purpose - to milk the budget more.
