Vice Admiral of the United States Navy: We are in the Black Sea to show what we are capable of

August 9 2021

American media publishes an interview with the commander of the 6th fleet US Navy Vice Admiral Gene Black. A significant part of the interview is devoted to the Sea Breeze-2021 exercises, which were recently held in the Black Sea, and in which American warships took part. The Vice Admiral was asked by American journalists whether it is in the interests of the United States to cooperate militarily with countries that are not NATO members.

The American military leader said that cooperation with Ukraine is in the interests of the United States. According to him, the presence of US Navy ships in the Black Sea does not go beyond the framework of international conventions.

Gene Black:

We are present in the Black Sea to cooperate with our partners and show what we are capable of. We must take steps that would strengthen the power of our alliance, interact at an ever higher level. All this will allow you to send a signal to any enemy, scare him away.

According to the commander of the 6th US Navy Fleet, the Sea Breeze-2021 exercise took place in international waters:

Not a single country that did not participate in the exercises had the right to interfere in them.

According to Black, the United States demonstrates support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine "including in the issue of the status of the Crimean peninsula."

Gene Black:

That is why we are here. We operate in international waters wherever and whenever we want.

The journalists asked Vice Admiral Black about his attitude to the reaction on the part of Russia to the passage of NATO warships near the Crimean coast.

Gene Black:

I think this was a serious message from the alliance. Our actions are transparent. We stand, as I said, for the territorial integrity of Ukraine. And what other countries are doing in this regard is clearly visible.

According to the American vice admiral, the US 6th Fleet has several task forces that are ready to protect US interests in the zone of responsibility in any operational situation.

  And the stick, as the Russian proverb says, is about two ends.
  And if they are drowned after the next "demonstration performance"? Well, what will they be capable of - to wipe off and impose sanctions?
  
  Vladimir Vladimirovich clearly said: there will be no Third World War because of the destroyer. Whatever and whoever the ship is, it is not worth the deaths of tens / hundreds of millions of people. And all the leaders understand this.
  
  So playing "weak" is the lot of stupid schoolchildren. And also, for example, many injuries and mutilations begin with the phrase "see how I can"!

      Why would someone "show" something? Everybody already knows that the United States brazenly climbs into the affairs, territorial waters and the territory of any country in the world, which they declare "a zone of their interests." And they are just as impudently indignant at the confrontation of the countries where they are climbing. Where is the Black Sea, and where is the USA ?!

    Is Abrams so bad? Although I remember on YouTube there was a video showing a retired American tanker who was shown a tank biathlon, so he could not sit still "But why are we not participating in this ?! Abrams, I don't know, but they would give me an M60, I would assemble a team of old fighters . We win, lose, what's the difference ?! The main thing is cool! "

    Let's say there is a political will for that.
    The Chinese fleet has something to send to not very friendly shores.
    There is no doubt about it.
    And how many pennants will the Russian Navy be able to represent at such exercises?

  They are not needed there. The United States has crumpled in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and in the Black Sea nothing will shine for them. They will wait for the times, they will swim where they are told.

  The US special forces proved to be a weakling at the international competitions of "superfighters" of ten armies of the world taking place in Kazakhstan. The Americans refused to participate in the competition on the very first day.
  The reason - super-G-I "could not withstand the heat and difficult conditions." True, then they explained with a clever look that "they were not going to give all the best"

        We cannot reject everything, we must, after all, isolate that which can be trailing behind us with its tail, with a brake.
        Let's just say, carry out an AUDIT, make the right conclusions, make the right decisions, outline a PLAN !!! Then you can move forward.
        It is impossible to delay the process, time is running out for us, this is a fact.

It's time to start with the Chinese, let's say, in the Caribbean Sea .. In international waters, of course .. Otherwise, it looks like mattress makers don't understand.

Why should we not lease a couple of nuclear submarines to Cuba and start conducting military exercises in the Caribbean, with training launches of torpedoes and ballistic missiles? For real targets, not virtual. It's time to educate Cubans on the secrets of nuclear weapons management. As Comrade Fidel asked very much.

  A good idea, but do not forget the "Cuban missile crisis".

And we, in the near future, will put on alert "Sarmat", "Zircon" and "Poseidon", then we'll see who will feel more comfortable from such "presence".

As long as Anti-Russia exists and it owns the Black Sea coast and ports, they will "be present" and "show".

We are present in the Black Sea to collaborate with our partners and show what we are capable of.
I wonder what the US is capable of now?

Admiral of the 6th Fleet. Yes, even the seventeenth. He sent a message. Says, for the territorial integrity of the 404. It was a little late, the admiral of the 128th fleet. The train left, the steamer left. That's it, Admiral 1812 of the fleet.

Apparently, it was not we who forgot, but they, as they wander around our windows and doors like thieves. We also have the right to lease or not lease our property. India was given nuclear submarines, and why can't we Cuba? They carry out exercises of an "affectionate" nature, without threatening anyone. Are we red? Let's do it SO affectionately that the world will die of admiration.

  What for? Do we have a surplus of nuclear submarines, or does Cuba have a surplus of money?

You are only capable of organizing provocations far from your shores at the gunpoint of the coastal complexes Bastion and Bal. Only the Black Sea will be a grave for you at any boil.

until the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of the Navy will conduct exercises in the Gulf of Mexico, like NATO in the region of the Crimean peninsula .... we’ll have feces from the face of the American-Angiyskie wash and swallow BOLT.

Doesn't the permanent basing of our non-submarines near the enemy island look like the permanent basing of foreign submarines near our house? India was given from an overabundance? And who said. that rent would be ruinous for Cuba?

In the Black Sea, not one fleet, not one side, poses any serious threat. Only maneuvers, parades, etc. Easily destroyed by aircraft and coastal missile complexes.

Only in the last incomplete 20 years, with the help of the traitorous oppositionists of the United States, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan have been forced into a perverted state. And then they cynically refused to help the fifth columns of these countries! How American it is! Traitors of all countries, be vigilant when receiving 30 pieces of silver from the Americans. They will show you the highest class - they will betray the traitors !!!

That is why these partners of ours will only bark, but if things get complicated, they themselves will initiate all sorts of restrictions there. Can't you see how they changed when they YOURSELF saw our new toys? We went from terminating contracts to signing new ones.

The Yankos have still had their hoteliers since the 50s of the last century. But now the Russian Navy, and especially the Chinese Navy, will greatly reduce their routes.
