The creation of the military base of the Russian Federation in the Indian Ocean was called a priority

November 30, 2019 43

Russia's new strategic activity in the Middle East and Africa implies a further exit to the Indian Ocean and the designation of its military presence in this region.

This conclusion was made by the chief editor of the journal for foreign affairs, director of the Institute of South Asian Studies of the National University of Singapore, Raja Mohan in his article published in the daily edition of The Indian Express.

In his opinion, one of Russia's priorities is the acquisition of its own naval base in the Indian Ocean.

The expert believes that for economic reasons, Moscow will not be able to dominate the region even if it has a military base. However, the presence of such a base there will allow it to influence the adoption of strategic decisions by the countries of the region.

As problems for India, Raja Mohan calls the growing relations between Russia and China, as well as increased tension in relations with the West.

Recall that for 49 years Russia has leased the port of Tartus in Syria, which will be used as a naval base.

In addition, Western media report Moscow’s intentions to acquire a number of military bases in the Arab Republic, in particular, the Kamyshly airfield, which was previously abandoned by the Americans, is mentioned.

I only support such decisions. And the area selected is correct. Let the Americans be nervous too. Still in South America to put a couple of bases, and trade with these countries will immediately go. Russia will not become poorer, but it will only become safer in the world. Advertising in Russia and Russian weapons is only good !!!

  Howl "uRyaa-ah-ah" Do not forget. Can we put a Russian base in our Russian city? Well, so that the quality of life improves. And the prices for medicines, for example, have even become lower? Jobs were adequately evaluated.

        Indeed, in order to understand higher mathematics, you first need to master arithmetic. And only then there will be a chance that "will understand." And even then, it is not necessary.

    In the article, not a word about the naval base or naval base of the Russian Navy in the Indian Ocean, from the word completely ....

Without a fleet, overseas bases cannot be maintained and it is even problematic to supply, and there are very few new frigates being built in the Russian Federation, and they are being built for a very long time ... You can’t go far on old Soviet-built ships, they are few, they are worn out and outdated.

    Do you think this is already above your head? Turkey and Pakistan have three foreign bases each. And they will set up the frigates, they also spoke about corvettes. And the Israelis ride in German submarines, American corvettes, half of the import boats. So the comparison is unsuccessful.

      It is correct to compare economies by their size. And not on the product of national companies. Which then turns out to be not entirely national (but ultimately exaggerated), since "national company" (and even property) can easily be owned by foreigners and 50%.
      Therefore, GDP is for suckers. For understanding people NFA.
      And according to this indicator, the "net value of the country", approximately as translated by NFA, Russia, is the 21st economy in the world in 2018.

      She can’t build submarines either. But underwater strategists are delicate. Therefore, they must be built by ourselves. So what will turn out.

        Familiar reasoning. Can you be congratulated on reincarnation? Have you changed your nickname and returned? Again old songs about the main thing?
        
        The economies are correctly compared by their values.
        
        The question is - for what purpose do you compare them. You want to understand the possibilities of a country to produce or build something, or to find out the cost of it. The construction of a ship, for example, is disproportionate in cost. To put it simply, we have GDP-100, the ship costs 10 and we can build 10. Our neighbors have GDP-500, and the ship costs 50, we have the same 10 at the output. But everything looks a lot more expensive there.
        
        And not on the product of national companies. Which then turns out to be not entirely national (but ultimately exaggerated), since "national company" (and even property) can easily be owned by foreigners and 50%.
        
        Does this not apply to your calculations? What can you define like that? How much did everyone evaluate it? If I have 10 million, I can buy a plot and build a house, and it doesn’t matter to me that it is more expensive across the ocean, and wrinkled degenerates are sitting somewhere, and some stocks have fallen in price or risen in price there. So, these animals counted something there and we should not climb anywhere? This will never happen. If you want, consider how they are, you can pray for them, in your opinion there will never be.
        
        Therefore, GDP is for suckers. For understanding people NFA.
        
        Sorry, to clarify for whom the NFA, I do not have the opportunity, you know, the rules of the site will be cut.
        
        It does not matter. It's easy to count them in dollars. It is also easy to calculate what Russia can afford and what cannot.
        
        Even as it has. Why convert them to dollars? What will it give? Ships are built in Russia and for Russia, and for rubles, and they will build how much is needed. And you can count and moan that we cannot, this will not affect anything.
        
        And in Russia there are now a dozen of them. And this is a lot for her modest possibilities.
        
        It’s not for you to evaluate these opportunities, you are a knower, so sit silently and recount.
        
        What the hell? What for Russia frigates? Russia needs a strategic submarine fleet and a mosquito fleet that provides it. More Russia does not need anything floating. It is too expensive.
        
        What do you know about this? You have a narrow specialization to count and nag. Outright dullness is being poked. How can a mosquito fleet provide nuclear submarines?
        
        And Russia also needs to buy all this, except for underwater strategists. Because she herself can’t really build anything.
        
        Have I already written about stupidity? Does the word Mistral tell you anything? It’s not worth undertaking to judge shipbuilding, it’s not yours. I would recommend you to blame everything on amateurs and evaluators, all the same, you don’t know anything anymore, even your argument is reasonably confirmed. True, I’m afraid that it will not work out, they don’t need you either.

        Vasya does not have to buy pants at a price set overseas, by the way, and food (compare prices, the so-called bigmack index shows everything very clearly) Vasya can buy these pants near the house at half the price; and the pants will be, and will not remain hungry. In total, Vasya has exactly as many pants as he needs, there is food and still money left. And Petya, it’s more appropriate to call this overseas gentleman Padro, he doesn’t have enough money for his pants and food, so he is in debt, like in silk. That is why we have a surplus budget and reserves, and they have the largest debt in the world.

        Well, to begin with, no one creates a "methodology for estimating GDP".
        There is such an economic indicator. One of many. But in Russia, for some reason, they love him very much.
        I'll even tell you why. It masks the true position of the Russian economy in the world. And instead of the real 21st place in the world, the authorities and court economists "draw" from Russia the 6th world economy. Which is not true.
        Normal in principle move in the world of thimbles. But in essence - postscripts and fraud.
        The 6th world economy is France.
        
        You are right, the economic indicator is one of many. And they don't just exist. It is, so to speak, a tool, different tools for different for different tasks. You are trying to "drive nails with a screwdriver and cut bread, and measure the voltage." For this particular case, your tool is not suitable, but you persistently push the screwdriver into the socket.
        
        Who told you that next to the house the pants will be 2 times cheaper, not 2 times more expensive? Have you come up with such an "introductory"?
        
        Well, why yourself, you imagine yourself an economist, have you really heard about production costs? There are objective indicators. Taxes are less, energy is cheaper, costs of paying employees are less, and so on. And after that, you are not able to understand that the products will be cheaper? Do you know exactly the meaning of the word economy?
        
        A surplus budget, if we translate it from economic to ordinary language, is called mismanagement and poor quality economic management.
        
        How, then, can the deficit budget be estimated? Those who do not know how to "make ends meet" collect debts for some time and inevitably "go down the drain."
        
        As for the reserves, they are ephemeral and actually they are not there.
        
        Here it turns out like. Money earned on accounts - as if they weren’t, but some estimates are foreign and they are real, and most importantly. I’m afraid to accept this point of view, I’ll have to plunge into a condition similar to yours. Share the recipe for what you smoke?
        
        You are comparing debt with your beloved GDP. What's wrong. Because it is necessary to compare with NFA.
        
        With what fright did they decide that I compare debt to GDP?
        
        Those. comparing everything correctly, you will be surprised to find that US debt is simply insignificant. And assets many times exceed this debt.
        
        I was surprised to discover your inadequacy. Firstly, they themselves evaluated their assets and I see no reason to trust her. The formula "it is customary for gentlemen to take their word" does not work. Is there an independent assessment? They have mortgaged all their property and are living in debt. They are hicks and the only thing that keeps creditors is the army. As soon as there is no money for the army, they have a skiff. They will tear a heating pad like a tuzik.
        
        That is why Americans continue to lend and continue, introducing cotton wool into a stupor and amazement.
        
        Really?
        
        in September, foreign investors continued to withdraw funds from treasuries: the net outflow reached $ 34,32 billion. Japan got rid of US government bonds for a gigantic amount - almost $ 30 billion. Beijing is still actively selling these papers.
        
        Russia threw off these candy wrappers even earlier. The shop closes.
        
        99% of the countries in the world buy weapons abroad. Including the USA. There is no country that makes all weapons the best.
        
        Yes, no country can fully provide itself with weapons, they buy what they cannot produce themselves. But the arms market has its own specifics. There are a lot of restrictions and the principle "go and buy what you need" does not work. For the third time, you ignored the sale of the Mistrals, but persist in repeating the same thing, as if it were not. If everything is so simple and wonderful, why don't the Americans buy the S-400 from us? But how do you know this, you are an "ECONOMIST".
        
        As for Russia, the quality of its weapons I will leave without comment.
        
        And he is not required, the quality speaks for itself, it was appreciated by the market. Russia is the second-largest producer in the world, and this is without the administrative restrictions and pressure measures that the Americans are using.

        4. In economic matters (and not only in them) I understand at a completely expert level.
        
        The levels we have are really different, you can’t argue. And I agree about the choice, it's up to me. And I do not need your teachings, for your "food" is expired and rotten. Oh yes, I appreciated your "expert level". Hello to the sectarians.

        Firstly, these data are overstated, they evaluate themselves. If you are fat and dumb, but mom and dad work at school and give high marks, this does not mean that going out into the street you will run fast and count well. And you can show your diary with fives as much as you like, it will not help in any way. Second, companies need to make money, generate profits, and not just be "highly rated." Even if your company is valued dearly, what's the point if it is not profitable? Like Viber. By the way, is the list selective? Have the Chinese been removed? If you look at income, the picture is somewhat different, here is the ranking by revenue.
        
        The largest companies in the world - 2019 (in billion dollars):
        1. Walmart (USA, retail) - 514,405
        2. Sinopec Groupe (PRC, petrochemical industry) - 414,649
        3. Royal Dutch Shell (Netherlands - Great Britain, oil and gas sector) - 396,556
        4. China National Petroleum (China, oil and gas sector) - 392,976
        5. State Grid (PRC, electric power industry) - 387,056
        6. Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia, oil and gas sector) - 355,905
        7. BP (Great Britain, oil and gas sector) - 303,738
        8. Exxon Mobile (USA, oil and gas sector) - 290,212
        9. Volkswagen (Germany, automotive) - 278,341
        10. Toyota Motor (Japan, automotive) - 272,612
        
        The picture is somewhat different, don’t you?
        
        Economically, Russia on a global scale is no one to call her. 0,341% of the global level. Nobody even noticed Russia's "maneuvers".
        
        And why then is she so much attention? Any sanctions, bases are being pulled to the border, worried about missiles and ships? They say that we appoint presidents in the USA. This once again confirms the complete inconsistency of the "valuation" system. You can get together with your colleagues at home and repeat as much as you like - "we are the coolest, we are the strongest, we have more money", but when you go outside, you will understand that this is, to put it mildly, not so.
        
        the principle of "go and buy what you need" does not work.
        Works great in adequate countries.
        
        We have too different understanding of "adequacy", your tongue will wear off your shoes.
        
        Why do they need the S-400? Who told you that the S-400 is a good weapon system? Have you heard on TV?
        
        Why did you decide that it was bad? China and Turkey do not complain, India is waiting and she spat on whining because of a puddle. Take, despite the pressure. And what is the imposed Patriot, ask the Saudis, they say, they are attached to the queue for the S-400. So, truth is learned by comparison.
        
        You in vain confuse the shipment of weapons (and not only weapons) for various surrogate obligations with its sale. These are completely different things.
        Surrogate obligations are most often not performed at all by the recipients of these weapons (debts are then written off). And if they are executed, then at a great discount.
        But records are kept on contract numbers, of course. Only these numbers are filkin letters.
        
        Do you apply the same criteria to the supply of weapons from the USA to Israel or Egypt? Or faith does not allow holy encroachment? In general, do an analysis, separate, so to speak, the grain from the chaff and then discuss, and this is the reasoning of the student, and even the second year.
        
        This is verbiage, to pretend that if something is in rubles, then you can not count in dollars. And the statement is that if something is in rubles, then it is cheaper, it is generally ridiculous.
        
        Firstly, it is not necessary to convert everything to dollars. If we return to the ships under construction, all expenses in rubles, purchase of components, wages, electricity, etc. Why is it all converted into dollars? Ships are not built to assess the cost, but to put in place "presumptuous bookkeepers." It is a shame not to understand such elementary things. Secondly, you can count as much as you like in dollars, in real or tugriks. Electricity here is still cheaper than in the US, you can calculate for yourself. And so in all respects. And who should be in order not to understand that we can produce much more products with comparable amounts in dollars? So, laughter for no reason, a sign .. you yourself know what.
