Amid Nancy Threatening to Personally Invade Taiwan, Putin Signs New Naval Treaties

I’m pretty sure it might not be a coincidence that Russia is spamming naval news as the Taiwan situation heats up.

I’m pretty sure this is a situation where Russia is making a point that China and Russia are now effectively functioning as their own version of NATO.

The people running America told Americans to make their own Twitter if they didn’t like being censored, and then people made a bunch of shitty Twitter clones and they got shut down.

They told Russia to make their own NATO. Different results.

RT:

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday gave his approval to a revised naval doctrine that takes into account the “change in the geopolitical and military-strategic situation in the world.”

The signing ceremony took place in the State Museum of the History of St. Petersburg in the Peter and Paul Fortress, just before the start of the Navy Day parade. The president also signed a decree to approve the ship charter of the Russian Navy.

The revised doctrine outlines the main “challenges and threats” Russia is facing in the naval sphere, namely “the strategic course of the US to dominate in the world oceans” and the encroachment of “NATO military infrastructure” toward the country’s borders. Other challenges include “attempts by certain nations” to change the existing legal rules regulating sea routes and straits, as well as the spread of terrorism, piracy and trafficking of highly illegal goods in the high seas.

The document outlines the “risks” facing Russia’s naval activities, such as “lacking” the participation of the country’s merchant fleet in global cargo flow, the dependency of trade on freight vessels and undersea pipelines, foreign sanctions and “suddenly emerging and hard to predict” pandemics of dangerous diseases. Also included among the risks is the lack of overseas naval re-supply points and bases. However, the doctrine envisions the creation of such a facility in the Red Sea.

Yeah, Russia has their own naval issues of course.

And this language is clearly a global nod to the entire issue of the US attempting to dominate the seas, which is much more of a China issue than a Russian issue.

I don’t think I’m reading too much into it. Russia could have signed a bunch of naval stuff at any time, but is doing it now.

Of course, it might just have been related to their naval parade this week – initially.

But the language used was clearly a reference to Asia.
