85

From now on, the US aircraft carriers Harry Truman and Nimitz will be in the Persian Gulf, US administration officials said Wednesday.

According to them, the “Harry Truman” who arrived in the Arabian Sea had to change the “Nimitz”, which was planned to be returned to the base. However, his command was ordered to stay.

How much is not indicated. Now the aircraft carrier is in the Indian Ocean, ITAR-TASS notes.

Representatives of the administration called this move reasonable, saying that this does not mean that Nimitz would be involved in a possible military operation against Syria.

Sixth Command fleet earlier it had decided to leave the destroyer Makhan in the region, whose term of duty had expired and which was supposed to return to the base in Norfolk according to the plan.

Thus, there are now four American warships equipped with cruise missiles in the Mediterranean. These are the destroyers Makhan, Gravely, Barry and Range.

18 August in the Arabian Sea arrived group of ships in the aircraft carrier "Harry Truman", missile cruisers "Gettysburg" and "San Jasinto", destroyers "Balkeli" and "Mason". In addition to them, in the zone are "Nimitz" and a group of support ships.

The situation around Syria escalated after media reports referring to statements the opposition reported the alleged use of chemical weapons in the suburbs of Damascus.

Long before that Western politicians, including President Barack Obama, called the use of chemical weapons Syrian authorities under direct intervention in the conflict in that country.

US President Barack Obama said he had not yet made a decision about Washington’s response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria. State Department spokesman Marie Harf explained earlier that Washington would decide on actions in Syria regardless of the work of UN inspectors investigating the himataki.

    The impression is that the United States is offended that Russia is "wiping its feet" about them, and they constantly decided to play with muscles. But the spirit is no longer enough to actually attack Syria. I hope they get out and roll. If not, the consequences for the United States and its allies will be dire.

        And yet ... Bayan, but the music is fun ...
        Conversation between Spaniards and Americans on the frequency "Extreme situations at sea" ... Finisterra (Galicia). October 16, 1997

        Spaniards: (background noise) ... says A-853, please turn 15 degrees south to avoid a collision with us. You are moving right at us, a distance of 25 nautical miles.
        Americans: (background noise) ... we advise YOU to turn 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision with us.
        Spaniards: The answer is no. Repeat, turn 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.
        Americans (other voice): The captain of the ship of the United States of America speaks to you. Turn 15 degrees north to avoid a collision.
        Spaniards: We do not consider your proposal either possible or adequate and we advise you to turn 15 degrees south so as not to crash into us.
        Americans (in elevated tones): CAPTAIN RICHARD JAMES HOWARD SAYS WITH YOU, COMMANDER OF THE USS LINCOLN CARRIER, THE NAVY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE SECOND QUANTUM OF A SHIP.
        WE ARE ACCOMPANYING 2 CRUISERS, 6 FIGHTERS, 4 SUBMARS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT SHIPS. I DO NOT "ADVICE" YOU, I "ORDER" TO CHANGE YOUR COURSE BY 15 DEGREES TO THE NORTH. OTHERWISE WE WILL
        WE SHOULD TAKE THE NECESSARY MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR SHIP. PLEASE IMMEDIATELY REMOVE OUR COURSE !!!!

        Spaniards: Juan Manuel Salas Alcantara speaks to you. We are 2 people. We are accompanied by: our dog, dinner, 2 bottles of beer and the canary, which is now sleeping.
        We are supported by the radio station "Cadena Dial de La Coruna" and channel 106 "Extreme situations at sea". We are not going to turn anywhere, given that we are on land and are the A-853 lighthouse of the Finisterre strait on the Galician coast of Spain. We have no idea what place we occupy in size among the Spanish lighthouses. You can take whatever ... steps you think are necessary and do whatever you want to ensure the safety of your .... ship, which will crash to smithereens on the rocks. Therefore, once again, we strongly recommend that you do the most meaningful thing:
        CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.
        Americans: Ok, accepted, thanks.

        "The strike on Syria will lead to the internationalization of the conflict, drawing many countries of the region into it, and they will support the opposing sides. First of all, we are talking about regional heavyweights: Iran, the main sponsor and ally of Bashar al-Assad, and Turkey, from the very beginning of the civil war, unconditionally Iran's spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who rarely makes foreign policy statements, broke tradition this time. He declared: US intervention in the Syrian conflict "would be a disaster for the region." strikes on Syria, the future of this warehouse will become "impossible to predict." Pandora's box has been open for a long time.

          "According to an Ipsos-Reuters poll, about 60% of Americans oppose US military intervention in Syria, only 9% support it. In the UK, according to a YouGov poll, the number of supporters of military action is slightly higher - 25%, but 50% of Britons oppose direct intervention of their country in the Syrian conflict. According to the French Institute of Public Opinion, about 60% of the French are against the participation of Paris in the military action. At the same time, 54% of French citizens would support the intervention if it was carried out under the auspices of the UN. " - http://3mv.ru Look how it turns out, but the public is against it, so what will NATO people do about it? Apparently they will score.

            Jordanian and American units withdrawn to the border of Syria
            Arab media reports "deployment along the entire 370 km border with Syria" of Jordanian and American troops.
            The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai refers to a Jordanian commander who said: "For several months we have been preparing for this scenario. I was tasked with preparing Jordanian and American units."

            Al-Rai also refers to the testimonies of local residents who say that in the area of ​​the city of Ramta, a military fist of several thousand soldiers and dozens of tanks is concentrated.

            Ramta is located just a few kilometers from Deraa, the capital of the province of the same name in Syria.
            Sky News Arabia reports that despite official statements of non-intervention in Syria, Jordan is preparing for a possible neutralization of Syrian chemical weapons and terrorist groups in Syrian territory.
            An anonymous source Sky News Arabia reports that Jordanian troops have been preparing for an operation under conditions identical to those of Syria for several months. The purpose of the ground operation may be to create a "buffer zone" in Deraa.
            Some Arab sources argue that, contrary to official statements by Washington about the "limited" nature of the impending operation against Syria, this is more than a Tomahawk strike on Damascus and surrounding military bases.
            Allegedly, two tank groups are concentrated on the border with Syria - one Jordanian and one Saudi. Also, 3 militants of the Syrian Free Army were deployed to the border, which were trained by CIA instructors over the past few months.
            The purpose of the invasion will be not only the creation of a "buffer zone", but also the proclamation of an interim government in the "liberated territory" and the creation of an immediate threat to Damascus - in cooperation with the Islamist groups operating there. You can read more about this in the article "Plan for the land invasion of Syria".
            Patriot batteries are placed along the border with Syria - in the event of a possible Syrian retaliatory strike.
            It is also reported on the possibility of using air bases and radar stations in northern Jordan, in the event of an attack on Syria.
            Jordanian media, citing German sources, also write about the deployment of a combat group along the Syrian border. It is also reported that a large number of military aircraft and drones are being flown to northern Jordan. - from the site the third world. It seems to have begun. Some media write that the invasion will begin on Friday night.

                    That prostitutes also no success
                    In 2006, Russia, Ukraine, and Romania were at the top of the list — in that order. However, as follows from the Tampep report, already in 2008, the three changed. Romania came in first (12%), followed by Russia (9%), and Bulgaria (8%) came in third.

                    Romania and Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007, and their citizens received the right to freely travel to other member countries of the organization.

                    Next in the list are Nigeria and Ukraine (7% each), and then a large group of countries with indicators of 3-4% - Belarus, Moldova, Hungary, Poland, the Baltic countries and others.

                        There is always a choice. WHO in the West needs UKRAINE goods? Only raw materials, and not even the first limit, but cheap labor, no more.

                        In what state was UKRAINE in the year 90, and now? It’s necessary to try so hard that 12 million Ukrainians get rotten, and slide down to the level of Africa in terms of development? Is there any stat data that conclusively proves that Ukraine’s Bandera’s independent people are steadily leading to RUIN .

                        Well, it happened in different ways, for example, Bush Sr. was against declaring Ukraine’s independence, Dulles (the one they say had a plan laughing ) in general, in his current plan he wrote about Ukraine http://www.sakva.ru/Nick/NSC_20_1R.html read section 4. DIVISION OR NATIONAL UNITY It would be our nationalists declared enemy number one. laughing As for the goods, it’s not so bad with Europe and not so good with Russia, which by the way has a free trade zone with us, and with the EU yet, I can give a link to statistics for all countries of the world, we have good only with Africa and other countries. smile And what about the 90th and now, well, what's the point of comparing Ukraine in the USSR and today, then there was a completely different economic model and relations with other countries, our economy could not withstand competition with imports, plus the breakdown of economic ties with other former republics of the USSR. In agriculture now, in some respects, Ukraine has surpassed the indicators under the USSR. And how to beat 12 million, after all, too much, "just" 6, many left for the same Russia, Israel, but here Russia is not inferior , and Europe is also experiencing a demographic crisis.
                        Ruin
                        then V.F. Yanukovych leads us by the way, these are the questions to those who elected him, I personally did not vote for him, the west of Ukraine in general was always very weakly represented in the government, so there was no way to lay responsibility on them in the country. Well, for the third world, I hope and believe that this will not happen in the near future, 100-200 years, when the resources start to run out, then maybe it will, and it’s unlikely, but now there’s just no sense, no reason, all this tinsel with Syria does not pull to the third world, the East both blazed and blazed a long time ago and there is no end to it, because of the people who turned on religion and other nonsense, no one will arrange an armageddon.

      The impression is that the United States is offended that Russia is "wiping its feet" about them, and they constantly decided to play with muscles. But the spirit is no longer enough to actually attack Syria. I hope they get out and roll. If not, the consequences for the United States and its allies will be dire.

      Unfortunately, the process has begun and hardly anyone will stop them, I believe in the power of Russian weapons, but it is in the hands of the people who serve the United States. I am not against Putin; he, surrounded by enemies, is really hard for him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_IEQFAU3A
      The name is ambitious but don’t be too lazy to look, GDP is trying to clean the country from 5 columns, the Russian Federation is still not a sovereign state since the 90s. All laws adopted to this day on what the New Russia is built, everything went through the US State Department. Unfortunately, a forceful solution to the problem is needed. Putin’s hands are tied. And the people, not understanding the essence of the matter, blame him. The worst is happening now, and only the population can do anything. All the pathos that we will not abandon Syria are a bluff. And do not wait for something special.

For he spits like a king on a pleasure yacht - 30-33 knots around the clock. At the time of the transition, in a non-threatened period on the deck and catapults, there are immediately ready to rise: AWACS E-2C / D Hawkeye or Hawkeye-2, respectively, PiS HH-60H Sea Hawk helicopter, Hornets on duty. "(F / A-18E / F) in the version of air defense suspensions, one evil electronic warrior in the version EA-6B" Prowler "or EF-18" Growler ". At the same time, the ship is not blind and not deaf - its powerful ASBU constantly receives data from everything. whatever is possible: from satellites to UAVs in Afghanistan.
          Revelation # 2: If an aircraft carrier is in a period of increasing threat, then the above is in the air, and on the catapults there are two pairs of Hornets - one replaceable air defense and one shock.

      News on Newsland: Egypt closes Suez Canal and says NO Yankees
      Everything becomes complicated for Western instigators and instigators of war, worthy of the heirs of the little mustached German. General Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, a new strong man from Egypt, a worthy heir to Nasser and the executioner of the "brotherhood of nothing", the commander in chief of the armed forces, has just announced the closure of the Suez Canal. This blocks the departure of American destroyers in Syria, including their floating supply base.

      The entry of the US military and their minions is currently complicated. However, the United States chartered a refueling tanker for unpunished strikes against Syria. General al-Sissi emphasized Egypt's commitment to a joint defense treaty with Syria. The Suez Canal is a necessary passageway for the assassins of the Arab people, in collusion with some states, including Saudi Arabia. The heirs of Hitler and Goebbels are in great difficulty. Sissy clearly demonstrates his nationalist and independent line. JDD recently released a headline entitled “The General Resists Obama.” Indeed, the Muslim Brother in the White House is naked ...

      Al-Sissi emphasized that Egypt would not become a passageway for attacks by any Arab country, adding that Egypt would not repeat the mistakes of the Iraq war.

And now this is the topic. And Obama will choose a scenario based on his preferences, in order to maintain a good attitude towards himself in American society, and on the UN, Russia and everyone else he will be liable to They are not afraid of us now. And there is no economic leverage to influence the situation. We will not fight over Syria, nor will we supply them with impudent weapons. So you don’t need to pour water, saying that “we’ll crack like granites. yachts and all in the dust! "If you want fairy tales, watch" Frost "- a beautiful film, and satisfy your needs.

    This means that not only the VKP E-4B, but also the forces began to transfer to the REDCON-1 state. The build-up of the group is in full swing. And "Yakhonty" would be good, of course, but unlikely. They will be hammered into the Stone Age from far away.
    For reference: the state of the REDCON-1 expeditionary force means that the headquarters units have been deployed to full states, have taken over control of all forces in the theater of operations, all staff are involved and are in readiness for use, reserve SBUs, all personnel of the expeditionary forces are on the ground, reserves have been brought up up to full norms with an assigned reserve, all information transmission channels changed their "keys" and switched to a completely closed mode. The rear support units began the inter-theater transfer of MTO funds from the reserves of the first stage. The planned rotation of forces in the alleged theater of operations has been canceled. The readiness of the forces for use -5 minutes after receiving the order.

      These are the words that were said yesterday. Even the date of "deratization measures" (gas explosions) has been set - from Thursday to Friday. In Israel, muzzles were distributed all night.
      And this morning in all the news announced that Obama-mother "turned the back." Allegedly, the Congress does not give permission to bribe him in Syria. As if it stopped his predecessors ...

      NOT ONE TIME ... This is NOT to be done ... The objects of attacks should be only bases and ships ... But if of course which of the missiles deviate from the course, then it is a pity, but the population of those countries where the bases will be located should understand, you have to pay for everything ...

    Why is the UN needed? For receptions and parties? without hesitation, the direct text says
    Washington will decide on actions in Syria regardless of the work of UN inspectors investigating the facts of the chemical attack.

    Unreal. If the flow of events unfolds, the region will be rigidly blocked and at the same time destabilized. And I do not observe enthusiasm on the part of the ruling corps of the Russian Federation (except for the on duty populist verbiage of our lunatic Führer), but there was more than time.

The real Nestor Makhno was born in Gulyai Pole and my relatives live there and they have completely different attitudes towards Russia and the Bandera people. So "Makhno" go there and share your thoughts, your brains will quickly be adjusted.

      I read somewhere that one GRANITE, the destroyer is drowned, is guaranteed. In this case, a couple of Granites or Yakhonts, aboard an aircraft carrier, will put it out of action anyway.
      There is a video in Yu-Tube where the result of getting our rocket on board the target ship is shown, is very impressive.

        Is there no way to think with your own brains, or is this not our method?
        "Granite", the destroyer is guaranteed not to sink, there is such a mathematical concept - the probability of defeat, and they do not fly in pairs, theoretically it is possible. Practically nobody did it.
        Without touching the abstract white horses in a spherical vacuum, I can say that drowning an aircraft carrier is not very easy.
        An aircraft carrier never comes ashore, at a range of coastal SCRC firing, he will be cared for and nurtured by ships of the military security order - freeing him from such trifles as a couple of boats or the noise of a diesel boat or some kind of kamikaze decided to dash
        from "Exocet" on a podfezulyazhny suspension in the no-fly zone.
