The past few days of 2020 have been thrilling.
In the Middle East, a place of right and wrong, Sulaimani was hunted and killed, and the US-Iran war was on the verge of breaking out. Then, there was a serious stampede at the Iranian funeral, and on the day of Iran's missile retaliation, the Ukrainian airliner was actually shot down by iranian missiles.
What also makes people take a breath of cold air is that in the past few days, in the Middle East, there has been a thrilling incident.
In the Northern Arabian Sea, near Iran, a U.S. warship and a Russian warship met at sea, nearly causing a serious impact.
Really, just a little bit.
Don't forget, just a few days ago, Russia, China, and Iran held the first trilateral maritime exercise in history, which is also near that area. I just don't know whether this Russian warship is one of the participating in the exercise or another Russian ship that has come to cruise.
But at least to make it clear that Russian warships are regularly present in the area.
This has a short chance of encountering U.S. warships that appear more frequently in the waters.
According to the U.S. Fifth Fleet, on January 9, a Russian naval vessel "aggressively" approached the U.S. Destroyer Farragut during its routine operations in the northern Arabian Sea.
After watching the live video, it is indeed dangerous.
1, the Russian warship chopped the waves, and rushed straight to the US warship without fear.
2, feel the waves of the Russian ship, almost all splashed on the US warship.
3, the situation seems to be extremely urgent, the US warship issued 5 consecutive warning whistles.
4, the gun muzzles of the US warship, it seems to be aimed at this Russian ship.
5, on the American warship, it seems that the exclamation can still be heard.
It may be a matter of shooting angle, just looking at the forward Russian warship, almost a step away from the machine gun muzzle of the American destroyer. According to the measurements of the US media, the distance between the two warships was only about 55 meters when they were closest.
What is this concept?
Generally, the destroyer is more than 100 meters, and that small turn can hit the other side.
The Russian warship was aimed at the flank of the American warship. Once such a high-speed collision at sea, the US ship will undoubtedly face major damage.
In fact, in the vast sea, two warships can get so close, and they are in a contest in themselves. The Russians should also be prepared in case of a collision.
The day after the Iranian missile attack on the US military base, at a critical moment in the Middle East, the United States and Russia directly fought, then there is no doubt that the situation in the Middle East will become more complicated and more lively.
Of course, Russia is tough, but it is not completely reckless. Finally, the U.S. Fifth Fleet said the Russian warship turned around and left, "but its aggressive approach increases the risk of a collision."
But is this the truth of the matter?
As usual, the public is justified, and the mother is reasonable.
The Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement accusing the US destroyer of "deliberately violating international maritime norms" and cutting into the channel of the Russian warship. That is to say, it is your America's fault first, Russia is just a normal course.
Therefore, the Russian warship had to ignore people, ignored it, and drove straight towards the US warship, which almost caused a serious collision incident.
What do you think?
There are many major events in these two days, the disaster in Iran, the election of treasure island, it is not a long story, three simple points:
1, this world, Russia is indeed hard enough.
Watching the posture in the video, the Russian warship just ignores it, that is, directly crashes into the US ship, the US ship is anxious to scream (frantically press the warning whistle), this thrilling game of life and death, it is estimated that the fighting nation has done it. Well, a lot of times, when you're soft, he's hard, and he's soft when you're hard.

2, when it comes to Russia, the United States has no choice.
What if it's another country? It is estimated that the United States is furious and making a big fuss. But when it comes to Russia, the United States can't do anything. Don't forget, the United States has learned a lesson, during the Cold War, similar to this state, Soviet ships are real collision, that is the famous slogan: I was ordered to crash your ship. When you encounter such a polar bear who dares to go out, what do you call the United States?
3, it is also certain that sooner or later something will happen.
At the critical moment, Russia showed its fighting spirit, but this time there was no accident, which was a bit of a fluke. Often walking by the river, where there are not wet shoes, you see, with the intensification of the middle East struggle, similar collisions will occur sooner or later. Perhaps this is an inevitable step in the struggle between the United States and Russia. Of course, whether it is Putin or Trump, it is also a bit leisurely, just kiss it, too deep, it is a bit of a hooligan.
