Vershbow: NATO presence in the Black Sea needs to be strengthened

NATO countries should think about strengthening the grouping of ships in the Black Sea, this is necessary to deter potential aggressors, leads Look Statement by the Deputy Secretary General of the Alliance, Alexander Vershbow.

“Here, in the Black Sea region, the Allies should think about strengthening the presence of the international contingent of NATO and focus on our capabilities at sea. Such a presence can be stable, but at the same time it will be defensive in nature and in line with the Montreux Convention, ”said Vershbow.

"A clear signal will be sent to any potential aggressor that if he invades the territory of the NATO countries, he will face a tough response from the entire alliance - Americans, Europeans and local defense forces - and he will pay a disproportionately high price for his actions,"

he declared.

A week ago, Vershbow suggested that the countries of the alliance "assess the possibility of a more sustainable military presence," since the EU faced "strategic threats simultaneously from two different directions." On the one hand, Russia, which “challenges the international law and sovereignty of the neighboring states,” and on the other, “instability and violence at the southern borders of the alliance that threatens to spread to its territory in the form of terrorism and uncontrolled migration.”

Using the example of a strike on Syrian barmels by Monsieur Vershbow, he could be convinced that we do not need to invade anywhere in order to get our opponents in this region. And the coastal defense system will reduce the increase in the number of NATO ships in the Black Sea only to a wider variety of targets for missiles.

Vershbow and send you a simple sailor.

Recently, the Macareans themselves in the report stated that a maximum of 10 days all NATO will stand in Europe if Russia decides to attack.

After a close acquaintance with our electronic warfare troops and regular overflights by our airborne forces, in the USA you will have to build madhouses for the state sailors who returned from the Black Sea

[lelikas]

They need to christen another destroyer Cook, so that on 12.04.17 - immediately in the Baltic and Black Sea Fleet, our pilots could train at the same time.

Brad, NATO wants to increase its military presence in the Black Sea to deter "potential aggressors"!?!
And why not immediately on the Caspian? Or White?

We dampened NATO in the 90s as we began to reduce the Navy. Now we are building up the ship and submarines, and they perceive this as a threat. The US and NATO strategy is a numerical superiority in all directions.
The fact that we have bastions, Warsaw, balls, frigates in the Black Sea should not reassure us, the United States can also easily expand its group, there are coastal complexes with harpoon missiles, they are building a large number of anti-submarine R-8 Poseidon, I'm not talking about air defense systems, numerous air forces, and ship structure.

"At the same time, it will be defensive and in line with the Montreux Convention," Vershbow said.
Well, in accordance with the convention, there is already a NATO fleet in the Black Sea - the "Armada" of Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey ...
Of which only the Turkish fleet can be called a fleet
Why then all of these: if that ... yes we ... but how to show ...

-----------------------
Even in the bearded 1993, a number of analysts pointed out that NATO should not be moved to the borders of Russia. That this will cause the weakening of the alliance itself by loosening it by the battleless armies of the Balkan and Baltic Limitrophs. And of course, the response of Russia, which will be able to respond with the development of its space and rocket technologies. Which is what happened.

There are rules:

The Montreux Convention retains the freedom of passage through the straits for merchant ships of all countries in both peacetime and wartime. However, the mode of passage of warships is different for the Black Sea and non-Black Sea states. Subject to prior notification by the Turkish authorities, the Black Sea Powers may navigate their warships of any class through the straits in peacetime. For warships of non-Black Sea powers, significant class restrictions have been introduced (only small surface ships pass) and tonnage. The total tonnage of military vessels of non-Black Sea states in the Black Sea should not exceed 30 thousand tons (with the possibility of increasing this maximum to 45 thousand tons in case of an increase in the naval forces of the Black Sea countries) with a stay of not more than 21 days.

But the law is not written for mattresses:

2008: during the armed conflict in South Ossetia, an American military ship with a significant displacement entered the Black Sea. In this regard, the question arose about the applicability of the Montreux Convention.
5 February 2014: the frigate of the US Navy Taylor entered the Black Sea. In connection with the events in the Crimea, the ship was in the water area until March 9, exceeding the maximum allowable period by the Montreux Convention for 11 days [

Squeeze, squeeze and squeeze out by all means, otherwise they will breed in the Black Sea like fleas.

He apparently does not know that there are anti-ship missiles for which the Black Sea is nothing more than a puddle.

Vershbow verbiage can be answered shorter ...

[alex-cn]

"and he will pay a disproportionately high price for his actions,"
How much cheaper will it cost us to install a few more "Balls" and "bastions" than to maintain a NATO flotilla? Let them spend, the more, the better, the faster they go broke. Asymmetric response, great thing ...

[Pirogov]

whose courts to strengthen, the state? But what about the provisions of that Montreux Convention? Mismatch ...

Most likely Turkish, Turkey ordered several Type 214 submarines. Several more ships may be bought. NATO aircraft can be based in Turkey and Romania.

Yes, here in general the question is open)))
It is necessary to tighten Barack Obama with a comment on the statements of Vershbow.

US President Barack Obama claims that his colleague Vladimir Putin views NATO and the European Union "as a threat to Russian power." This position was voiced by the head of the White House in an interview published on Monday to the CBS television channel, reports TASS.
“Mr Putin used to view NATO, the EU, and transatlantic unity as a threat to Russian power,” Obama said. “I think he is wrong.

Where are we mistaken?

And then this Mr. will shout that Russia has approached the NATO fleet ...

[Magic archer]

It is not for nothing that ours is strengthening the Black Sea Fleet. Plus, the Caspian Flotilla, which with the help of Caliber can control almost the entire Black Sea zone.

[LÄRZ]

A clear signal will be sent to any potential aggressor that if he invades the territory of NATO countries, he will receive a tough response from the entire alliance

Well, just say: "If Russia invades ..." Guys! Oh! We with his Crimea whole Black Sea basin their by means of control as you never dreamed. And nobody forbade you to bring various nonsense.

[otter.1]

An urgent need to strengthen the Navy in the Gulf of Mexico, you know, dismissed.

I’ll clarify. The groupings in the Chesapeake Bay and Maine Bay still need to be strengthened.

[otter.1]

Can not argue!!! I'm stupid by someone.

[Monos]

On the one hand, Russia, which "challenges international law and the sovereignty of neighboring states"

Yes, we are such aggressors!

[APASUS]

Well, Vershbow's words show only alarm, in fact, we can control the entire coast of the sea from the coastal complexes and the strengthening of the NATO Navy does not make sense, they perfectly understand this and express concern.

[atamankko]

Just spread your brains
who controls the Black Sea.

[_my opinion]

Such a presence can be stable, but at the same time it will be defensive and consistent with the Montreux Convention, ”Vershbow said.

yeah, still say that NATO is a purely defensive alliance and it was created after the Warsaw Pact, and do not forget to blather about the defense of Yugoslavia and Libya ...

[VP]

It looks like the NATO leadership, fearing that the organization will be considered ineffective and simply unnecessary as inadequate to modern realities, is trying by all means and ways to aggravate the situation in Europe. And whist on this.
And the likelihood that NATO can seriously sequestrate is very real - a stupid organization that doesn’t support anyone. The military operations of recent years were not attended by the command of the bloc but by the leadership of various national forces - American, English, French

[lopvlad]

Here, in the Black Sea region, the Allies should think about strengthening the presence of NATO's international contingent and focus on our capabilities at sea.

The United States continues to spin its European chaluys into grandmothers. The Black Sea is not an ocean where you can park and try to control something that is beyond the reach of coastal complexes.
Uncle Sema’s pocket is especially expensive because they simply cannot park simple US ships in the Black Sea (the lack of the status of a Black Sea country does not allow it) and are forced to rotate constantly.

For me, the Americans are still under the false impression that they controlled everything in the 90s. It was not they who controlled, but simply in Russia they did not mind the control of the Americans.
This is all a thing of the past and Americans in uniform will have to get used to the fact that the world has changed.

[magician]

there and so on the bottom there is a lot of things, there was still not enough NATO scrap metal.

[Izotovp]

It’s interesting, and if ours build some kind of combat platform based on a rig somewhere near these very straits ?! So to speak, the meeting committee))) radar, air defense, anti-ship missiles, helicopters ....

[ram_design]

So there are already drilling)))

BASTIONS are called)))
as part of the newly formed 15th separate drilling missile brigade of the Black Sea Fleet

300 km drilled if necessary

probably this difficult childhood was at this Vershbow, probably he was greatly humiliated and beaten hard by peers at school, and then at the university in his youth ...

There, in fact, only Russia and Turkey have a submarine fleet, Romania, if I am not mistaken, has 1 submarine of the Halibut project, but it has developed a battery life and has been standing at the berth for years.

[Lester7777]

That is, if I correctly understood Mr. Vershbow’s statement, all international treaties defining the status of the Black Sea can be flushed down the toilet.

[PValery53]

The fact that NATO will be brought to the Black Sea "for strengthening", in fact, they will be led "for the slaughter" ... Nobody pulled them by the soul. They do not regret themselves at all.
