AUG USA enters Mediterranean Sea: Putin gathers military council

1
Today, April 20, Russian President’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov announced that Vladimir Putin had initiated a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov to discuss current military and military issues.





Note that two days earlier, on April 18, the BBC Russian Service distributed a very strange message about the discussion in the British Parliament of the possibility of a nuclear strike by Russia. This was a single message on this topic, the course of the debate in the Committee on Defense of the House of Commons is discussed in more detail in the material of “Reporter” "Great Britain is waiting for Russian missiles".

Justin Bronk, a military analyst at the British Royal Institute for Defense Research, said, among other things, that the Russian military, when planning a conflict, “must either quickly achieve their goals and then quickly“ dig in ”and say that there will be a nuclear response for any attempts to win back the captured one - and wait "Whether the West will retreat, or if they suddenly come across an immediate and unpleasant answer, then use a nuclear charge of less than a kiloton."

The precise distribution of this message suggests that this is not so much a realistic discussion of hypothetical probabilities that may or may not be realized, but a clear address signal to the Russian leadership: Great Britain raises the stakes in the crisis over Syria. We also note that raising rates to such a level is not always productive, since subsequently there is nothing to bet on.

For its part, Russia is disseminating through the media information about the upcoming offensive of the Syrian opposition, with forces of approximately 12 thousand militants, to one of the key positions held by the Syrian government - the city of Daraa.

Meanwhile, a few hours ago, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with RIA News completely ruled out the possibility of a military clash between Russia and the United States, saying literally the following:

Returning to the issue of the risks of military confrontation, I proceed 100% from the fact that the military will not allow this, and this, of course, will not be allowed either by President Putin or, I am sure, by President Trump. They are still leaders who are elected by their peoples; they are responsible to these peoples for peace and tranquility.


Not received only sufficiently significant in status and content statements from the United States. It does not seem to be accidental, since it is Washington that holds the ace in his sleeve right now.

As reported on April 19 at 13:21 Washington time by USNI News (information publication of the US Naval Institute), an attack group led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman on Wednesday entered the operational zone of the 6th US fleet, that is, the Mediterranean Sea .

According to USNI News, the AUG deployed in the Mediterranean Sea includes the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) nuclear carrier, with CAW 1 on board, the URO cruiser USS Normandy (CG-60), the URS destroyers USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51 ), USS Bulkeley (DDG-84), USS Farragut (DDG-99), USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98), USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) and USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81). The German frigate FGS Hessen (F-221) should also join the AUG.

Given the increasing intensity of statements by the British and Russian sides, it is possible to assume that they have very serious information about the planned second US missile attack on Syria, which has now arrived in the region with American AUGs.
