Why do American warships and airplanes want to defend the Olympics in Sochi so much?
International assistance in building a security system and countering terrorism is, of course, great. Such assistance in the modern world of Russia, among many other states, will definitely not hurt. But, as they say, cut with a knife, and vague doubts about such assistance during the Olympic Games in Sochi, proposed by the Pentagon, put it mildly, alarming. To be honest, it is not the help itself that is alarming, but the fact that it is proposed by the US military and is being proposed right now ... Well, it is alarming, and that's that ...
What is this about? And it goes on that the two American warships from 7 February to 16 March 2014 (the time of the Olympics and Paralympic Games in Sochi with a short break between these events) will be in the Black Sea. For what? US Navy spokesman John Kirby answers this question:
In case of any emergency during the Olympics.
John Kirby’s smile seems to hint at “fraternal” help to Olympic Sochi
In addition to deploying American warships fleet in the Black Sea, the United States intends to deploy "additional airports" at German military airfields. According to the same Mr. Kirby, warships and aircraft can be used only after “consultations with the Russian government” and, if necessary, the evacuation of American athletes, coaches and fans from Olympic Sochi. At the same time, Kirby added that the flight time of the very “additional airports” of the US Air Force from Germany is about 2 hours - they say, our falcons will surely have time ...
In general, the rear admiral put everything to us, you know, on the shelves, and we are wary, but wary ... Well, fraternal assistance to evacuate "our own" - from which, then, all our experiences about this?
Yes, it just happened so lately that if somewhere American military "help" comes, then processes of irreversible nature begin to arise in this region. And “help”, as we all know, can come under any pretext: from the need to evacuate citizens to support (spread) democracy in a single territory. In addition, American assistance can come even when the United States either does not ask for it at all, or is asking, to put it mildly, specific groups of extremely suspicious nature, seeking to sit down in power.
So, let's try to figure out what the situation may be around the Olympics in Sochi or at the 2014 Olympics themselves, so that the American fleet and the American aviation started to “help” Russia. Given that Russia on the Black Sea has, for a second, its own fleet (Black Sea) and many air force bases in the South and North Caucasus federal districts, then for the need to use precisely the “international” naval and aviation groups in the region, a large-scale alien invasion should take place, not otherwise ... It is also strange that the Pentagon has not announced that the US Navy will cover Sochi from the sea because of a potential threat from the Al-Qaeda fleet or a threat emanating from "North Korean nuclear-fired missiles" ... And then Kim Jong-un how to "kick", you know, according to Adler ...
By the way, why will warships be used for the hypothetical evacuation of American athletes, delegates and fans? Why not use ordinary civil liners for this? And why is it necessary to use necessarily the German MILITARY airfields to accommodate "additional" aircraft of the US Air Force? To take people on board, and then be bombed, or what? .. Using the logic proposed by the Americans, then any country participating in the Olympiad will have to send its fleet to the Black Sea, if it has it, of course. A hundred or two warships will line up along the coast and wait for the need to evacuate their athletes there ...
In general, there are a lot of questions, and these questions may arise even more if we consider that the offer of “fraternal assistance” came from the American side at the very moment when dramatic events began to play out in Ukraine. I want to believe that this is pure coincidence, and that the American “partners” are really determined to help Russia build a high-quality security system at the Olympic Games in Sochi. But only with confidence in overseas partners lately everything, frankly speaking, is not thanks to God ...
So, the US warships are going to be stationed in the Black Sea. Here you and Sochi, here you and the Crimea, here you and Odessa ... In general, the situation is that you can, hiding behind the words about the possible assistance to Russia, to extend its activities in the Ukrainian direction. And the activity may consist in what it was at one time in Yugoslavia, Libya, and what it is today in relation to Syria. A “festive” (timed to the opening of the Olympics and “world peace”) visit to one of the Ukrainian ports can take place. In the port, a transfer of “gifts” to a certain Ukrainian side may occur. What kind of gifts? Well, maybe those with the help of which the Balkans were breaking up in 90, in Libya, in 2011, today - Syria.
You can, of course, say that Crimeans or Odessans just will not allow unloading weapons in their ports. I certainly would like to believe this, but black sheep are in any herd - this is time, and the possibility of provocation by “maydanutyh” or the Americans themselves for the unimpeded departure of their mission in Ukrainian ports cannot be ruled out - these are two. And if we consider that it can work both “once” and “two”, then the scenario with the arming of the Ukrainian “opposition” today does not look so conspirational. Militants who began their journey from the port of Benghazi, “warmed up” with weapons that way. Syrian extremists also do not get weapons in their parcels ... And the mess in Yugoslavia also went through the arms of the "revolutionaries" with the active use of the Adriatic ports.
Let's not forget that the situation with terrorist activity in the world was no better either in 2002 (the Olympics in Salt Lake City), in 2008 (the Olympics in Beijing), or in 2010 (Games in Vancouver), or during the London Olympics. However, for some reason, Russian warships in 2002, 2010 and 2012 did not patrol the Gulf of Mexico and the North Pacific Ocean in the English Bay and English Channel areas, respectively. Nobody asked the Russian military assistance for the Olympics, and Russia, honestly, did not offer such assistance. In 2008, the US military ships and airplanes did not patrol the Bohai Gulf, as the Chinese organizers of the Olympics themselves were well prepared and coped with the sporting event - without a military presence from the US ...
And then suddenly it turned out that without the US Air Force and Navy, the Sochi Games were threatened ... Why should I? Or it is also a kind of hint that you will not allow the ships of the US Navy to enter the Black Sea - we do not guarantee the safety of the Olympics. But why today is Washington so eager to be in the Black Sea? Well, certainly not in order to catch sprat ... Apparently, there are gentlemen who are on the territory of Ukraine today who are expecting such a “friendly” visit.
Who is waiting? As an example, Mr. Gritsenko, who has only recently called on all people who have firearms in their home arsenal, to go to the support of Maidan.
By the way, the Gritsenko surname in this context surfaced not by chance. Anatoly Stepanovich, being in the chair of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine of the "orange" government, in 2006, poured Ukraine and the world over the fact that the US Navy ship Advantage delivered building materials to the Feodosia port to modernize one of the military facilities in Crimea. Then the same Gritsenko was forced to admit that he “made a mistake” - the ship unloaded a weapon in Feodosia. Do not unload the next batch of "building materials" American ships in 2014-m? In this regard, the Russian leadership should be more attentive to the proposals of the Pentagon about "help", abandoning it exclusively in a polite manner and referring to the fact that the black sea dolphins may be afraid of the roar of the engines of American warships - and the ecology for us first ...
