Recent Russian naval activity in Europe exceeds levels seen during the Cold War, a top U.S. and NATO military officer said, voicing concern that the distributed nature of the deployments could end up "splitting and distracting" the transatlantic alliance.


quote:

"We're seeing activity that we didn't even see when it was the Soviet Union. It's precedential activity," Howard told Reuters in an interview late on Saturday during a missile defense conference.


quote:

"They’re a global navy, I understand that. But the activity in this theater has substantially moved up in the last couple of years," Howard said


quote:

"When ... you think about what happens when they move forces around, you look at the alliance and they end up splitting and distracting the view of the alliance," she said.



Sentrius.... for you

I haven't kept up with the size or capabilities of the Russian Navy but this probably literally impossible.

Good...

Maybe tougher economic sanctions and America supplying the Ukraine with weapons is what Purim wants to see. Or maybe we place our missile defense shield back in Poland like we were suppose to do until Obama got outmaneuvered by Putin.

Cool. Let them do whatever they want. If they want to fight war, then let Europe deal with it. Or they can have Europe and tell them we'd be happy to trade with them as hemisphere leaders.

Tell them of they come within a few hundred miles of the USA we will remind them of who they are fricking with.

Russia has enough of a navy to cruise the Black Sea and the Mediterranean and that's about it. They have one aircraft carrier, a few surface ships, and nearly two dozen submarines. The Russian navy is a defense force and cannot project significant power world wide to be much of a threat to us.
