American general demands to fray the nerves of the commander of the Black Sea Fleet
The US satellite countries in the Black Sea region should unite and make the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet nervous.
The ex-commander of the US Ground Forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, stated this on the Iceland Internet channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Hodges, the Black Sea countries, with the support of the United States, must force Russia to respond to its actions.
“It is so important that Ukraine, Georgia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Moldova work together, that there is regional cooperation, that countries help each other, exchange intelligence and information. Of course, the US must also be part of this, we must apply measures that would make the commander of the Black Sea Fleet feel very uncomfortable. For example, in his illegal base in Sevastopol.
I think the Ukrainian decision to acquire anti-ship missiles, the American decision to introduce the MQ-9 [drone] into Romania - these are all important steps that can help seize the initiative in the region. Instead of reacting to the Kremlin's actions, they should react to ours. Also, what is very important is what you need to do to build resilience within,” Hodges said.
Hodges was previously ridiculed by Western media when stated that Mariupol is Black Sea city, while it is located on the coast of the Azov Sea. Afterwards, he admitted that he felt like an idiot.
Besides he stated that The Crimean Bridge is not what it seems.
