| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] American ships and their patrols at sea are one of the threats to the military security of Russia’s ocean and sea areas. The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, stated this in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper He emphasized that the warships are carriers of Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles, capable of reaching various targets throughout most of the country. According to him, this is not the only factor threatening the country's national security. Evmenov also mentioned the presence of powerful naval groups of foreign states in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, plans to infringe on Russia’s interests in the Arctic region, which other countries are considering, also pose a threat. The admiral also announced the active deployment of naval groups and the exploration of the Arctic basin by American and British nuclear submarines. “Existing threats to national security require a modern navy capable of fending off these threats and, together with other branches and branches of the armed forces, ensuring strategic nuclear and non-nuclear deterrence from aggression and protecting the national interests of the Russian Federation in the World Ocean,” emphasized the Navy Commander-in-Chief. As Regnum reported, Admiral Evmenov previously said that Russia would form five divisions and one brigade of naval infantry. According to him, in the medium term it is planned to reorganize the existing five marine brigades in the fleets into marine divisions, and the marine regiment of the Caspian Flotilla into a brigade. He explained that this is being done in order to increase the combat capabilities of the Marine Corps as a separate branch of the Navy. The commander of the US Army in the Pacific, General Charles Flynn, said on November 18 that Washington intends to deploy MRC Typhon mobile medium-range missile systems in the Indo-Pacific region. According to him, they decided to take this measure to contain China. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on these plans, said that the Kremlin does not approve of US attempts aimed at containing other states. According to him, it is important for Russia that there are no actions that pose a threat to it. He also pointed out the inadmissibility of containment measures aimed at other countries. |

| #2 Russians have always been freaked out by Tomahawks. They fly under the radar so Russians can't see them coming. Putin was not about to let NATO install those things in Ukraine. It was a red line, a totally unnecessary provocation, and Biden should have known better than to cross it, probably did know better but he wanted war because he thought he could win it. |
