Moscow urges Washington to abstain from Sea Breeze drills in Black Sea
112.International ^ | June 24, 2021

Russia calls on the U.S. to drop the idea of holding the Sea Breeze 2021 multi-national naval military drills in the Black Sea. The Russian embassy in the United Statesd left the respective statement on Twitter.

"The large scale and clearly aggressive nature of Sea Breeze drills do not meet the real security challenges in the Black Sea region. They increase risks of unitended incidents. They welcome the militarist views in Kyiv. We decisively urge the U.S. and their allies to refuse from training in military actions in the Black Sea", reads the message.

According to the Russian diplomats, "the countries in this region can solve all problems without "forcing" the assistance from abroad".

Russia has been occupying Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and part of Donbas, fueling the military action in Donetsk and Luhansk regions since 2014. The Crimean ports in the Black Sea are currently under Russia's control. In spring 2021, Russia performed large-scale military drills near the Ukrainian borders.

As is known, Sea Breeze 2021 will incorporate the record-large number of countries; the U.S. Navy Sixth Fleet confirmed their participation. 32 countries, 5,000 military men, 32 ships, 40 airplanes and 18 diving teams will join the event.

Sea Breeze has been held in Ukraine annually since 1997.

“Sea breeze” — kinder, more gentle warfare with ponies, rainbows and trannies.

It’s hard to think of a dumber place for the USA and NATO to pick a naval battle than the Black Sea. It’s Russia’s swimming pool and they will never cede it. Closing the Dardanelles would be child’s play and any NATO forces would be destroyed in detail.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Maybe we could have quid pro quo, the Russians could do drills in the Gulf of Mexico with Venezuela, Cuba and now Peru.

I thought Biden was planning on using his F-15's and Nukes on Law Abiding Gun Owners.

They must be on Cruises in the Black Sea.

Sadly, Russia is the only adult in the room these days.

This is John Bolton’s foreign policy being carried out.

Other than the yoke of NATO, foolishly expanded to Romania and Bulgaria, what possible interests does the US have in the Black Sea?

And why would spend a single cent going there?

Russia is a communist country with an image team and a makeover.

Putin is no worse than today’s Democratic party of socialists, transgender promoters, and election cheaters.

*** Russia is a communist country with an image team and a makeover. ***

I will take a Sergey Lavrov, Maria Zakharova, and Putin over the clowns running the show here any day.

Not when Hunter is getting hundreds of millions from Russian companies and giving 10% “to the big guy”. And those same Russian companies donating to the Clinton and Obama foundations.

It’s good that we have a prez who fits right in Putin’s back pocket and Xi’s pocket. We have become a very “flexible” nation.
America, how you have changed. You’re hardly recognizable.

The exception is that Putin truly loves his country and is willing to take it to war in a Moscow heartbeat if he knows he can win it.
Biden?
Who knows what his feelings are for America?
