The National Interest: The United States is concerned about the strengthening of Russia's naval presence in the world
Moscow is developing its naval forces and is striving for a naval presence in different parts of the planet. The National Interest writes that Washington is anxiously watching Russia's rise in Latin America and the Pacific.
Thus, the training ship “Smolny” arrived in the Venezuelan port of La Guaira. Prior to this, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov and the medium sea tanker Akademik Pashin arrived in the harbor after a business trip to Cuba.
In addition, at the beginning of this year, the Russian frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov and the cruiser Varyag visited India, Sri Lanka, Qatar, Iran, Eritrea and the Omani port of Salalah, setting off on a long voyage through the waters of the Asia-Pacific region. This became the longest voyage of ships of the Russian Pacific Fleet over the past few years.
Also, the Russian Federation will hold naval exercises Orruda 4 jointly with the Indonesian naval forces on November 8-2024. The maneuvers will start in Surabaya on the island of Java.
These Russian actions may signal a worrying trend for the United States... Russia is demonstrating a strategic effort to counter the influence of the United States and assert its global presence
– states The National Interest.
Earlier, The Wall Street Journal called the US Navy a ship without a helm, as the US fleet is gradually declining, thereby weakening the country's strategic position.
