Spanish ships join NATO forces in the Black Sea

85

As a sign of support for Ukraine, Spanish ships will join NATO forces in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. The reason for these actions of Madrid was the increase in the number of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border.

This statement was made by the Minister of Defense of Spain, Margarita Roblis.



She believes that the movement of the Russian Armed Forces across the territory of their country increases tension on the European continent.

Russia cannot tell any country what to do

- said the Spanish official, implying Kiev's desire to join NATO.

However, she added that Madrid will fight for the sovereignty of any country that wants to join the North Atlantic Alliance.

The Minister said that one of the minesweepers of the Spanish Navy has already set off, and the frigate Blas de Lezo will do so in three to four days. In addition, several Spanish fighters will be transferred to Bulgaria.

At the same time, Ms. Robblis noted that Madrid prefers diplomatic methods of conflict resolution.

Last autumn, the Western press reported on the accumulation of a large group of Russian troops near the borders of Ukraine. From this, it was concluded that Moscow was preparing a military invasion of a neighboring country.

If Madrid will fight for the sovereignty of Ukraine, then why, then, does it deny the right to fight for the sovereignty of, for example, Catalonia? After all, the inhabitants of Catalonia are in favor of independence from Spain and simultaneous membership in the EU and NATO.

      Just like Spain or any other country cannot tell Russia what to do and how to dispose of its army on its territory.

      The Minister said that one of the minesweepers of the Spanish Navy has already set off, and the frigate Blas de Lezo will do so in three to four days. In addition, several Spanish fighters will be transferred to Bulgaria.

      They said those who themselves do not have sovereignty. Where is Spain on the political map, what is its influence? And what does sovereignty have to do with it if Madrid is trying to decide for Kiev?

      Alas! Sovereignty lies precisely in being independent and neutral, strong and independent. Russia has done too much for the sovereignty of Ukraine, more than anyone else... Ukraine did not succeed in becoming a real state, what to do with it - you will have to change your approach.

      And if sovereignty is perceived as the right to go into slavery, then such sovereignty is worth a penny!

    Spanish fleet? Well, let them practice a little. They were very brave in their time. Immediately after the conquest, they had such a "fuse" that they already captured the neighboring continent. Yes, but it ended three centuries ago. And now a "out of the box" country, even Gibraltar cannot be returned ... And there too. Together we poison the beast!

    However, she added that Madrid will fight for the sovereignty of any country that wants to join the North Atlantic Alliance.

    Madrit maintains the territorial integrity of Ukraine along its internationally recognized borders. It is also her sovereign right to decide whether or not to join NATO and the EU.
    If Madrid will fight for the sovereignty of Ukraine, then why, then, does it deny the right to fight for the sovereignty of, for example, Catalonia? After all, the inhabitants of Catalonia are in favor of independence from Spain and simultaneous membership in the EU and NATO.

    The author is disingenuous, no more than 10% of the inhabitants of this region spoke out for the "independence" of Catalunya. The referendum was held in gross violation of the laws of Spain. In fact, we are talking about serapratists in the minority. From the point of view of Ukraine, the situation in Donbas and Crimea is similar. Therefore, country wallpapers have matching views. The position of the Russian Federation when it comes to its territory is similar and it fought against the Chechen separatists.

            We are also changing, we are no longer as principled as before :))

            Principle / albeit very conditional / was the main advantage of Russia! Not in the economy, not in the efficiency of management, not in the success of the social structure, the legal system, and so on, Russia was strong!
            Russia acquired territories, but at the same time, most of its land was undeveloped! On the other hand, they have lost their main moral and psychological advantage, and this is your big mistake. I do not deny the fundamental right of Russia to protect Russians abroad, but how they did it in Ukraine raises a lot of questions!
            According to me, in the next decades the world will enter a new fuzz of its development, where it is the factor of morality, the rule of law, justice that will gain weight!
            And then Russia enters in not the best shape, its starting position is shaky ... no one believes you, you have been compromised for a long time ... No.

              Only now the Russians are no longer the same, they don’t care what anyone thinks and says about them, and even more so believes or does not believe.
              Modern PR technologies used by the West can both create and destroy an image, facts, and even more so a belief.
              There is no point in taking care of something that no longer has any value.

And if you are not aware, then the places of compact residence of Bulgarians and Romanians in Europe are considered unfavorable. You even lay a bolt on top of each other.

          Can you tell me where the borders of Ukraine are? Has anyone officially documented them somehow? Can I see the documentation? The so-called "Ukraine" is nothing more than a territory illegally cut off from Russia. However, the same can be said about almost all the "former republics of the USSR", since there were no such states before, and if they were, then with a territory many times smaller than now. They stole Russian lands and now they are still yapping at Russia, mongrels under the fence.

      Spain is a member of NATO... so what?

      The main mistake of Russians when analyzing the situation with the West is to predict NATO steps based on their worldview, from their mentality, when helping their own is regarded as a sacred duty, despite the prospect of their own problems and even death.
      There, decisions are made pragmatically, based solely on their own benefit. If there is at least one in ten opportunities to take heavy damage, they will not risk even if one of the small countries of Nata burns out in a nuclear fire.

    Well, they joined with their ships, so what? Are they preparing a massive strike against a country that has plenty of nuclear weapons? Want to start a nuclear war? And if they don’t want to, then why are all these gatherings of Nata ships in the Black Sea? Stupid window dressing ... IMHO ...

        For only one full salvo of Ticonderoga is capable of destroying the entire Black Sea Fleet and aviation in this region.

    As a sign of support for Ukraine, Spanish ships will join NATO forces in the Mediterranean and Black Sea.

    Is this accession connected with the desire to participate in the aggression of NATO, which crowded at the borders of the Russian Federation, provoking it to defensive actions? Or is it on the topic: “There the animals beat the elephant and I kicked it twice”?
    The reason for these actions of Madrid was the increase in the number of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border.

    For Russia, the participation of Spain under the auspices: “Russia has increased the number on its borders in connection with the manifestation of interest in NATO forces in it” may end up with the fact that Russia, too, may attend to a sharp increase in those wishing to “try the commissar’s body” ... See that it doesn’t end like this :

Russia here what side? I will even say so. It could even be beneficial for Russia from the point of view of resolving the Crimean issue: are you in NATO? OK. But recognize Crimea in exchange for the absence of territorial claims. But for such a pirouette, statesmen are needed in power, and not gopota from the St. Petersburg gateway. She swore impudently and will soon get Ukraine into NATO along with Crimea. Well, as they say, "the greed of the fraer ruined"

        Here in Ukraine, gopniks are still in power, and, oh horror, DONETSK, this is one of those who should have been swept away by the Maidan of 2014, but here, on the contrary, he exalted ... I'm talking about their secretary of the Security Council Danilov. But that doesn't bother you much.

          And who is dictating something to Russia? We are talking about supporting the decisions of the independent, sovereign state of Ukraine. Russia then what side?

          By the way, at the expense of "dictatorship" after the collapse of the USSR. You know who insisted that all nuclear weapons be taken to the Russian Federation. And who was silent while crushing separatism in the Caucasus?

          The conflict was not because of Cuba, but because of nuclear missiles on its territory, moreover, they were secretly imported by the Ikhtanets. And this was done primarily because of the total technological lag of the USSR in the nuclear race. The United States, for example, has also deployed nuclear weapons in England, Italy and Turkey. But they made it official. The missiles were removed, from Europe, by the way, too, and since then no one has touched Cuba.

          How many centuries England fought for Boston and New Amsterdam. So what? By the way, Crimea belonged to Turkey longer than to Russia. These are arguments over the counter. I don't give a damn about what's going on in/in Ukraine. This is their personal grief or happiness. But to end up in North Korea because of the allusions of the children's complexes of St. Petersburg gopota, albeit with a crust of the former KGB, somehow you don’t want to at all.

    This is a psychosis warmed up by the West and Russia. We decided to test the testicles. As a result, at oil prices of 87,73 dollars, its exchange rate is 77 rubles (and not 42, as it was at such prices). Further, more than a third of Russia's cash reserves are held by potential enemies, cleverly and incomparably. As a result of all this, we need to invest in the army, by reducing costs for others (we will not tighten the strap in the first).

    One thing is a bit annoying: - If tomorrow is a war, if tomorrow is a hike ... etc. , then the boys of age 18 plus a little will take the first blow. This is the main mobilization potential of any country. But they just don’t have any convictions, grounds, reasons to fight the conditional West. They are contrary thoughts and actions there. And counting on citizens forty plus in the war is also not an option. We, of course, have patriotism and our Crimean and Donbass on the one hand, but also children, families, business, a stable, calm life. In general, there is something to lose, and we value life, we are unlikely to agree to exchange it for simple slogans for all the good things. And one Army, if anything, will not pull out.

But they are not at all worried about the occupation troops of the mattresses, wandering around the lands of these "troubled" mongrels. As I understand it, such feelings as their own dignity, honor, pride, they simply no longer even remember. The main thing is to give the owner a better lick.
