Not long ago, the USS John McCain guided-missile destroyer of the USS McCain carried out a provocative act of 2 kilometers deep into Russian waters at Peter the Great Bay, a Far East military base of the Russian military stationed in Vladivostok. Moreover, if you count this time, Russia's territorial waters have been violated by the US military for three consecutive years. While in the eyes of the Americans, this is an ordinary act of free navigation, in the eyes of Russia, it is a violation. For this reason, the grumpy Russians certainly did not swallow their anger and directly used a move to attack the jade.
According to the NEWS OF THE HONOLULU STAR NEWS, a few days ago, the official spokesman of the US military confirmed that the US military is tracking the Russian Navy's spy ship "Kareliye", which is conducting reconnaissance activities in the Pacific waters of Hawaii. As we all know, Hawaii has a large number of missile test sites and airfields for the US military. Therefore, the purpose of the Russian spy ship here is also very clear, that is, to collect information on the MISSILE test base of the US military, for this behavior of the Russian army, the American people know it, but there is no way to do anything about it, after all, free navigation was first proposed by the Americans, Russia's action did not violate any laws and regulations, and the United States has no reason to drive them out.
Even Rob Martins, spokesman for the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, had no choice but to admit that the Russian military's actions were reasonable and legitimate. The free voyage of the Russian Navy this time can be said to have taught countries another lesson. It has always been the U.S. warships that "sail freely" along the coasts of other countries, rather than in the adjacent waters of the United States. From an American perspective, Russia may be the only country that often embarrasses the United States on its own rules.
From the Russian point of view, this behavior is even more important. This free voyage directly allowed the Russian army to establish two major advantages, first, to show the outside world that the Russian navy dared to enter the core area of the United States, and they were more determined than the US military in the will to fight. Secondly, to cause some psychological deterrence to the US military, the biggest advantage of the Russian Navy's proximity to Hawaii is that it has caused a huge impact on the spirit of the Americans, since the spy ship can go to Hawaii for free navigation, then the nuclear submarine is naturally OK, which is a psychological deterrent.
At present, the dispute between the United States and Russia is a continuation of the war between sea and land power in the past two hundred years, and if there is no accident, this dispute cannot be stopped without distinction between life and death, as Biden said, Russia is the biggest threat to the United States, but the United States is not the biggest threat to Russia. Most of the ancestors of the United States and the West were from pirate origins, so it is useless to reason with them, and only when they are hurt will they know how to exercise restraint. 【Three Soils】
