In the latest news released by the US Navy's 6th Fleet, the high-profile event occurred on January 21. On the island of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean, the cruise missile nuclear submarine "Georgia" docked, a move that immediately became the focus of international attention. At a time when US-Russian tensions are heating up around Ukraine, it is worth mentioning that the US Navy's USS Truman aircraft carrier battle group has been waiting for the Mediterranean Sea to control the Black Sea Gate. But that's not all, the nuclear submarine USS Georgia, carrying a staggering 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles, followed suit and entered the combat position.
If a conflict breaks out, the US military will not only be able to send nearly 100 carrier-based aircraft to launch air strikes from aircraft carriers, but also rely on nuclear submarines to launch a large number of cruise missiles and dive from high altitudes to launch long-range precision strikes on key Russian targets. Military experts stressed that the US military's move to open the entry of cruise missile nuclear submarines into the Mediterranean Sea is undoubtedly a signal of war to Russia, warning Russia not to attempt to invade Ukraine. However, Moscow made it clear in advance that the so-called Ukrainian invasion is just a hype of Western countries, and as long as Ukraine does not take the lead in provoking a war, Russia will never start a war first.
Recently, the United States and Russia seem to have tacitly demonstrated their long-range precision strike capabilities. First of all, the US and Ukrainian intelligence agencies claimed that the Russian army has deployed 4 brigades of "Iskander" tactical missiles to the Ukrainian border, and may launch a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine at any time. Then, the US military took the initiative to disclose the intelligence of the appearance of its elite missile nuclear submarine in the Mediterranean.
As one of only four cruise missile nuclear submarines in the United States, the "Georgia" nuclear submarine was once a member of the "Ohio" class strategic nuclear submarine. During the conversion, 22 of its 24 missile bays were converted into 7-mount cruise missile launch systems, which can carry a total of 154 Tomahawk missiles. The other two missile bays were converted into special forces pods that could accommodate up to 66 special operations personnel for coastal reconnaissance and special missions.
The U.S. military's message is unambiguous: once the war begins, not only Russian President Vladimir Putin has long-range strike capabilities, but also U.S. nuclear submarines can launch a large number of cruise missiles. These missiles will be accurately delivered from high altitudes, flying over 1,500 kilometers to carry out precision strikes on key targets in the Russian hinterland. Taking the eastern Mediterranean Sea where the Georgia nuclear submarine is located as an example, with a missile range of 1,500 kilometers, a circle covering the Black Sea, Crimea, Ukraine and southwestern Russia can be drawn.
For the United States, the losses from long-range contactless missile attacks are negligible. And if the Russian army wants to intercept hundreds of cruise missiles in a short period of time, it is almost impossible. This situation provides space for the United States and Russia to play, and it is also a clear warning to Moscow not to threaten Ukraine with missiles, because the United States also has similar long-range strike methods.
Although military experts pointed out that the US cruise missile nuclear submarine is a "sharp sword" in conventional conflicts and has first-class long-range deterrence capabilities, Russia is not unable to fight back. The Russian army has Syria as a stronghold in the eastern Mediterranean, where a large number of combat aircraft, surface ships and submarine formations are deployed. They are fully capable of launching anti-submarine interdiction operations to drive US nuclear submarines out of missile launch sites. Therefore, the US military's exposure of cruise missile nuclear submarines is actually only a warning signal to Russia, and its actual combat significance may be limited.
In short, the actions of the nuclear submarine "Georgia" in the Mediterranean undoubtedly increase the uncertainty of the international situation. Although it is a sharp sword, in military games, the proportion of actual energy needs to be combined with strategic wisdom
In order to win long-term stability and balance. Long-range deterrence and countermeasures between the United States and Russia, like the chess game of international politics, require more strategic thinking and coordination.
In fact, history has presented us with several illustrations of this type of game. During the Cold War, nuclear deterrence between the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union dominated international politics. Today, although the international situation has changed significantly, the entry of nuclear submarines and the deployment of missiles still cause a new round of tensions. However, we should recognize that military solutions alone will not bring lasting peace, but may lead to more serious consequences.
Therefore, before considering any military action, both sides should listen more to the voices in diplomatic channels. While the arms race and strategic deployment are to some extent the norm in international politics, excessive tension and conflict can lead to situations that spiral out of control. As history has taught us, the maintenance of stability and peace is the most desirable option for resolving disputes through dialogue and diplomacy.
To sum up, in this dynamic situation in the Mediterranean, it is not only a competition between the "Georgia" nuclear submarine and the United States and Russia, but also a contest that tests wisdom and strategy. Only through multilateral cooperation and diplomatic communication can we find a balance between different interests, avoid the escalation of conflicts, and ensure regional peace and stability. After all, modern international relations are no longer a mere contest of military power, but rather require the interweaving of political wisdom and strategic thinking to build a more secure and prosperous world.
