Kosachev: The appearance of the US cruiser in the Black Sea is a challenge to the Russian-American negotiations

Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Konstantin Kosachev believes that the actions of the American military raise many questions for Russia. As he said in an interview with the Russian Service News", This is not just about a military cruiser," but about a ship that is equipped with the Aegis missile defense system, which raises a lot of questions for Russia. "

“His appearance in the sea for us and Ukraine in general is a clear challenge to the negotiations that are under way and to the logic of Russian-American relations, which is defined by the word“ reset ”, he noted.

According to Kosachev, the appearance of a cruiser looks “excessive, redundant, undesirable and in some way provokes emotions and undermines the climate of trust between Russia and the United States.”

In addition, he added, in connection with the arrival of "Monterey" in the Black Sea, Russia will wait for explanations from the Ukrainian side.

We will remind, earlier it was reported that the American anti-missile cruiser "Monterey" entered the Black Sea. The ship went into the waters of Ukraine in connection with the teachings of "Sea Breeze 2011". The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that "we will not disregard the appearance in the immediate vicinity of our borders of elements of the strategic infrastructure of the United States and will take such steps as a threat to our security."

As Rosbalt reported, in the course of "Sea Breeze - 2011" representatives of 17 countries of the world - Azerbaijan, Algeria, Belgium, Great Britain, Georgia, Denmark, Canada, Kenya, Macedonia, Moldova, the Netherlands, Germany, Turkey, the USA, Ukraine, France and Sweden - will work out the actions of multinational headquarters and forces during the planning and conduct of an international peacekeeping operation.

The training consists of four stages: Stage I - deployment of forces (June 3-6). Stage II - basic training, coordination of peacekeeping forces (June 7-12), during which ship crews will conduct communications training, exercises to combat survivability, train coastal component forces at training sites on peacekeeping topics, parachuting from helicopters and airplanes , underwater descents of divers, flights aviation. Stage III - conducting a peacekeeping operation by a multinational contingent (June 13-17).

Our Ukrainians threw with the teachings .... here ... get .... sign ... Americans are not asleep

[figwam]

And who will be "pacified" by the 17 countries in the Black Sea?
How much can one be surprised at the hostile actions of NATO?

Another croaking of our mid. The Americans are now probing the soil, what will ours do if the Black Sea is crammed with such ships?

War is inevitable
I agree in the ratings "Own". However, accents need to be highlighted.
On the 2008th of July 8, a Ukrainian-American exercise was also held in the Black Sea, and on August 2008, 2008, Georgia attacked South Ossetia. Is it coincidental ?! It looks like a reconnaissance was carried out then, what will happen now? Then it is remembered that almost the entire arsenal of the US naval forces from the Mediterranean Sea entered the Black Sea immediately after the invasion of Georgia and the retaliatory Russian military operation. Why a large number of participants in the exercises today ?! The answer is simple - to create a coalition of forces against the rogue country - Russia - and in the event of a real war, Georgia will stand up for this "democratic" country. However, there is also a very pragmatic economic sense - the implementation of the European energy project Nabuco. The transport route from the Caspian to Georgia and then to Europe runs through the territory of South Ossetia. Europe has made significant investments in this project and is expecting a return, the United States sees in Nabuco the end of the era of domination of Russian energy resources in Europe and the weakening of the Russian economy. The large military investments of the Pindos in Georgia in recent years also speak in favor of the war. Then Georgia really needed help from the West against Russia and it was provided, but not military, but informational and other. Today everything will be different. Will be what the reconnaissance in force showed. Get ready, others ... Iran also needs to take care of its safety, since the Pindos have long been approaching this delicious pie of oil and gas. In reality, our politicians overeat and do not want to see the obvious, everyone is just waiting for legal guarantees that the missile defense is not directed against the country. They are waiting for the next Ribentrop-Molotov agreement. And for what? To indulge in the thought of the closest favor of the West? Instead of actually building a new Union and uniting into a powerful fist, I am placing Iskander along the entire perimeter of the western borders. Sorry for the country, what can it turn into overnight? Look again at the news of August XNUMX, be convinced of the true intentions of the West and do not have illusions. I would like to advise the authorities. Will they hear ?! ...

Bob,
man you are correct and interesting thoughts, just end each of your comments to begin with the words "war is inevitable." Add more.

[Bob]

I would very much like to make a mistake in the estimates. But ... facts. And a simple analysis. And also warnings. However, it is wrong to talk about it for no reason, I agree. The history of mankind is a series of endless wars, which is probably why looking into the future you see, unfortunately, another massacre of some against others. Of course, here we can recall the pessimist and the optimist, who assess events differently. In reality, looking at the situation, you should separate the wheat from the chaff. If the enth Pindos missile carrier Monterey has a different mission to enter the Black Sea for joint exercises? If it's just a legend (cover)? What then? Why are there no adequate measures on our part? The answers to these questions lie on a different plane. Medvedev really wants to please the West, and he succeeds, unlike Putin (a real man). Our political elite is shackled by the disease of inferiority, by representing the country as an outcast, and therefore is afraid of aggravating its already paralyzed state. They want to please the West, want to join the WTO, want to bargain for security, want integration with the Eurozone, etc. And the result? They trade their homeland, trampling on its interests. Let's remember 1941, then our political elite was struck by the same disease, did not want to believe in the obvious. The result is an "unexpected" blitz scream. Now it is completely different, and there will be no time for buildup and military training. And to amuse yourself with the thought of the presence of strategic nuclear forces is not worth it, as they say, the last argument, will Medvedev-Putin agree to this?

In principle, Bob’s thoughts are correct! But a second war with Georgia (with the support of the Pindos) is not possible at all. There are a couple of points.
1 In the second clash, Georgia may cease to exist as a state.
2 Not a single state will invest in a post-war country without guarantees. There are more questions than answers.
Here is the hole-making, in the defense of Russia it is a purely American approach. In the near future, (our Baltic states) will announce the militaristic policy of Russia and the Pindos will help them. Defending democratic values ​​in Europe, they will place a couple of bases in Estonia.

[Bob]

It's not about Georgia, it is used and merged (Saakashvilli and the gang). Georgia, like any other republic of the USSR, did not acquire statehood - independence, it depends on Pindos in everything. And now he is holding on to a confrontation with Russia.
Having penetrated the Caucasus, the Pindos will not only gain a foothold in the Black Sea, but will also create enormous problems for Russia - they will try to initiate a new (prototype Chechen) crisis. At the same time, they will gain a foothold in the Caspian basin through cooperation and ensuring security for their partners in Asia - Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. The militarization of the Caspian will routinely result in a war for Caspian oil - with Iran. The problem of this region is the unresolved territorial issue between the Caspian countries, as for the water borders, and, therefore, the ownership of the Caspian oil plumes.

Now that's sutlbe! Great to hear from you.
