Indonesia invited Russia, North Korea and the United States to participate in naval exercises "Komodo"

The Indonesian Navy has invited the Russian Federation, as well as the United States, Canada, North Korea, South Korea and a number of other states to take part in the Komodo military exercises. In total, 47 countries of the world received invitations. This is reported by the Indonesian news agency ANTARA.

As Admiral of the Indonesian Navy Denny Prasetio said, Indonesia is well aware of the conflict between the DPRK and South Korea, but the country sees no obstacles for the participation of both states in multinational exercises.

Recall that those exercises to which Russia is invited are held every two years. The first Komodo exercises started in 2014. South Korea participated in the exercise in October 2021 as an observer. Now Seoul has not yet confirmed its readiness to take part in the maneuvers.

Russian agency RIA News приводит words of Rahakundini Bakri Konni, who serves as security adviser to the ruling Democratic Struggle Party of Indonesia. She says that on December 19, 2022, the commander of the country's armed forces was replaced in Indonesia.

This position was taken by Admiral Yudo Margono. He replaced General Mohammed Andiku Perkasa, who was considered a Western-oriented military leader. Now Indonesia can revise its military-political strategy towards closer cooperation with Russia, including in the military-technical direction. Considering that Indonesia is a huge country in terms of population and economically promising, its pro-Russian turn would be very helpful.

That's how Indonesians, that's how peacekeepers! :)

In the course of such exercises, there may be unforeseen incidents, well, there are accidents. And mass ones. Let's say someone accidentally starts using live ammunition instead of training ones or accidentally covers the location of the American contingent with artillery a couple of dozen times. Due to inexperience.

Why so rude.
It is enough to allow a "leak" in the media that the Russian Navy has updated the databases of the noises of American ships in different modes.
And a list of those Americans who participated in the exercises.

What is this!? Why!? Wrong cadence ...! Although he can try! At least someone wants to change something!

A dilemma .... And it’s ugly to refuse, all the more so for the fleet, this is training, and on the other hand, participating in exercises with an enemy that kills our soldiers, well, somehow it’s not at all unambiguous

An interesting team hodgepodge will turn out. Let's see who agrees and who does not.

Only if Indonesia reconsiders its position on the purchase of our equipment and weapons to a positive one, can it agree to participate in these exercises.

Russia and the United States are now participating in joint exercises in Ukraine

To set such conditions means to become like the Anglo-Saxons.
And Indonesia's proposal is indeed very interesting and promising. Yes, and original. Worth a try.

another "case in the square 36-80" is planned?

Indonesia reminds me of a nerd who has no friends. And so he decided to go out into the courtyard and invite everyone he met to the party, including representatives of two opposing gangs.
Indonesia is generally aware that in which case both of them will be considered guilty? Or maybe not only. That's what itching for them to seek adventure on their ass?

Indonesia wants to arrange a bunch of little things? All against all. A free performance with poorly predictable consequences.
