NATO urged to strengthen the "weakest point" of the alliance in the Black Sea region to "contain Russia"

55

Russia has significantly strengthened itself in the Black Sea region, "capturing" the Crimea and increasing the grouping of ships. NATO has successfully countered Russia on this flank, but there is one weak point that Russia can exploit.

According to Bloomberg, NATO intends to continue to contain Russia in the Black Sea region, but for this it is necessary to urgently strengthen Romania. According to Western analysts, this particular country is a weak point that Russia can take advantage of.



The Black Sea is Russia's gateway to the Mediterranean, as well as an important point for projecting influence on the countries of the Middle East and Africa

- writes the agency.

In order to "contain Russian plans," the leadership of the alliance decided to build several bases on the territory of Romania and deploy an additional NATO military contingent. We are talking about the deployment of a motorized infantry brigade of up to 5 thousand people in addition to the same number of NATO troops already stationed there.

NATO intends to turn Romania into a kind of outpost of the alliance on the Black Sea, and in Bucharest they have nothing against it. According to reports, the alliance allocates an amount of approximately $12,2 billion for the construction of military infrastructure, and this is not the limit. It is planned to deploy American Patriot air defense systems on the territory of the country, deploy fighters from NATO, but in reality American ones, and also strengthen the naval component of defense.

As recently stated in the Romanian Ministry of Defense, the Romanian army alone will not cope with the "Russian threat", so the country needs to deploy an additional NATO contingent.

      Odessa has already been taken by the troops of the Russian Federation, or at least Nikolaev? Isn't it too early to "share the skin of an unkilled bear"?

          I agree. Moreover, in their statement there is an assumption of "loss" of Ukraine as a territory that is a buffer between the Russian Federation (Asia in their understanding) and the EU (the West).
          The Americans, and with them the EU countries, adhere to the principle of fighting better on foreign soil. With which, by the way, I completely agree (why the operation began in Ukraine). And then suddenly the Americans are strengthening not Ukraine, which is fighting against the "occupier", but the "rear" of Ukraine. At the same time, those same rears are sleeping and see how to capture part of Ukraine.
          From the foregoing, I conclude that the Americans are realists: they understand how the special operation will end, they understand that it is necessary to share the "skin of the killed bear" (as the Third Reich was divided), and it does not matter who won - it is important how the "trophies" were divided.

        You, as well as the rest of Europe, are not very attentive to what Putin says. But on February 24, in his speech, he said that we know the names of those who burned people in Odessa, they will be found and put on trial. From this it is concluded that Odessa, like the entire Black Sea region, will go to Russia. Otherwise, how are you going to judge those people if they are on the territory of another state?

      They are simply fulfilling their promise not to push NATO an inch towards Russia! The promise is successfully fulfilled. They haven't really moved an inch! They have gone much further! That's what the word gentleman means! We are now talking that we do not need to release the Westerners. Let them stay there. Let's let them stay. And NATO will certainly take advantage of this. Do we need it? In the recent past, they shouted at us that it was not necessary to feed Africa, the Warsaw bloc and the union republics. Now, with the money saved, we are conducting an operation in our outskirts. In the United States, for some reason, they don’t yell, Stop feeding Ukraine, Romania. Maybe Russia should also place its bases closer to the United States? Well, as an answer. The time has come for us to rearm the army of the DPRK. The United States is supplying their weapons stubborn and nothing. It's not bad to agree on bases with Mexico. How will the states react to this?

    It's a shame to the head of NATO that he failed to achieve his cherished goal - to make the Black Sea an inland sea of ​​NATO. Such plans were for bases in Crimea, and today not only Russian Crimea, but even during a special operation they gouged the "center" under construction (read the base) in Ochakovo , Ukraine in the future will lose access to the sea. In a word, sadness. So it remains to "strengthen" Romania. Is Bulgaria already fortified?

Here 350 years ago, the whole ruin, a wild field and a small tribe in the Putivl region themselves went under the tsar and the Bolsheviks, and it worked out badly but 350 years ago, but the "Svidomites" came, and what they got on the territory of the former huge (2nd place in the USSR and remember the tribe in Putivl) country? What can rotting flesh boast of, what can a dried ear boast of? But what happens next will be decided by others in the Kremlin.

    It's "great again!" can continue indefinitely. Russia has an alternative to good answers. The first is to deploy a similar threat off the coast of the United States, if it finds those willing to deploy.
    The second is to destroy emerging threats (after warning) as they arise.
    The third is to develop weapons that will devalue all these overseas efforts.
    The main thing is not to get involved in an arms race, where the enemy has an advantage (yet) in terms of means. The printing press is more productive than factories and laboratories. And, as it turned out, there are no physical possibilities to print the necessary resources.

      It's strange, I'm trying to write to you for the third time, but the input is constantly broken (someone climbs into the PC over the network).
      No, of course they did not stand aside, and no one will leave them aside. NATO's southern flank with a maritime direction is too important in the Eastern strategic direction, it's just that the build-up of forces and means of the NATO Allied Forces is not focused on it for a number of reasons. However, the strengthening of NATO battlegroups comes from various sources and they are actively formed on a multinational basis of recruitment and financial and material support. The same methodology applies to most infrastructure facilities, trying to attract local funds. Separate objects of military infrastructure are of more interest to the main countries of the bloc, starting with the United States, which ensure their functioning, use and application. The importance of Bulgaria in NATO military planning can be seen in the annual "Defenders" and the intensity of the use of facilities on its territory, including the naval and air components of the grouping of forces, mastering the planning of a coalition operation in the region against us.
      I didn’t understand why you were given a minus, perhaps for the emphasis on the “brothers”, but your remark is absolutely important and Romania without other countries in the region, including Bulgaria, cannot be considered militarily - there will be no overall picture. My+
