This just goes to show you the extent of Russian aggression: they literally put their sea right underneath US warships.

The United States will maintain its presence in the Black Sea despite a Russian warning that a U.S. destroyer patrolling there undermined regional security, the U.S. Navy Secretary said.

The USS Porter entered the Black Sea this month, drawing heavy criticism from Moscow. Turkey and Romania are expected to push for a bigger NATO presence in the Black Sea at the NATO summit in Warsaw next month.

Aboard the USS Mason, another U.S. destroyer, in the Mediterranean on Thursday, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus told Reuters that it was the U.S. Navy’s job to deter aggression and keep sea lanes open.

“We’re going to be there,” Mabus said of the Black Sea. “We’re going to deter. That’s the main reason we’re there — to deter potential aggression.”

“The best deterrent is provocation.” -Ancient NATO proverb

U.S.-Bases-Near-Russia

Mabus spoke days after Russia criticized NATO discussions about a creating a permanent force in the Black Sea.

“If a decision is made to create a permanent force, of course, it would be destabilizing, because this is not a NATO sea,” Russian news agencies quoted senior Foreign Ministry official Andrei Kelin as saying.

Russia, which annexed Ukraine’s Crimea in 2014, has its own Black Sea Fleet based at Sevastopol.

Mabus said the United States follows the rules of the Montreux Convention, which states that countries without a Black Sea coastline cannot keep their warships there for more than 21 days. NATO members Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria are all Black Sea Basin countries.

Bulgaria appeared to buckle to Russian pressure on Thursday. Prime Minister Boiko Borisov said he would not join a proposed NATO fleet in the Black Sea because it should be a place for holidays and tourists, not war.

Maybe Bulgaria’s coming around.

At some point, these Eastern European countries are going to have to make a decision between accepting the entire Western-Jew paradigm – tranny bathrooms, unlimited brown people from everywhere, man-on-man anal sex lessons for 3-year-olds, the whole deal – or forgiving Russia for communism.

Even a little thing like Bulgaria saying “ah well no, we don’t really want to get involved with your war with Russia…” is a big thing in the larger scheme of things.

Hungary is the country with the least hostility towards Russia, and the nationalist Jobbik party – more popular than any other hardcore nationalist party in Europe – is openly anti-EU and pro-Russian. Orban is doing nothing real to fight the EU – just saying a lot of naughty things. I believe Hungary will be the first to fold and forgive Russia.

Bulgaria, I think, will be number two.

Poland is the only one that would rather become Islamic before shaking hands with Russia. But maybe once they get a fuller taste of Islam, they’ll change their minds.
