Ivan Canas: Russia warns NATO over build-up of warships in Black Sea. This video shows the arrival of two of them amongst protest in Turkey

Russia's military says it is bewildered by the build-up of NATO's naval force in the Black Sea -- and scoffed at claims the warships were delivering humanitarian aid. Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, told a media briefing that there are currently ten NATO warships with cruise missiles in the area, and eight more are expected to arrive there shortly.

"These ships are very seriously armed," Nogovitsyn said. "As far as cruise missiles are concerned, they are strategic arms and have a range of 2,500 km. The Black Sea is just a pool for them."

The Colonel General added it's very hard to believe these ships have arrived just to bring humanitarian aid.

He said the build-up was connected with Georgia's wish to restore its military potential and added Russia will find a way to find out if armaments or military gear are being delivered to Georgia by NATO ships.

Nogovitsyn said Russia may stop cooperation with NATO, including military transit to Afghanistan through its territory, though it hasn't done it yet.

"Our Supreme Commander-in-Chief did not say we are stopping cooperation. He just made it clear such a thing can happen because a number of statements have been made by the Pentagon and other countries on possible sanctions - like in the worst times of the Cold War."

[300ZXturboXX]

Some of you are so fing ignorent thats not even funny. Stop thinking with your hate full heart and start thinking with your brain. There is no reason for us to be there.. We signed a treaty with russia that we would not go by them and build up our arms. We are the one who is breking all the rules. It gives russsia now the rights to bring there ships to vuba and close to home. Do you ediots think war with russia will be easy. Think about it

@USA1848 just a guess but maybe ukraine does not want american/nato missile silos in their country especially since ukraine and russia are not a threat to each other you idiot and this money your talking about ist usa's way of lending sothing they know they can not get back what do you want the whole world eating out of your hands . hey instead of geting ukraine in to debt why dont you pay off your own debts like the i duno umm trillions of dollars to china

Us warship are in the black sea because Russia has his eyes set on Georgia and sooner or later... on Ukrania. These are facts.

@USA1848 dear sir. iam sorry to inform u but all your hard earned money .is going to ukraian mafia. eu sends money there too .it is getting ,,lost,, in abraka-dabra financing.

[Bibazavr]

@USA1848 No bro. If only those 100 mil were invested in something like health care or whatever. All those money are being stolen by the government. And US doesnt give a spit about it. US profits from that. Soon Ukraine will be a country with a huge debt, if it isnt already. US doesnt help. It imports debt and instability. Maybe after awhile Ukraine will be forced to sell its resources for a very low price just to give that "help" how you call it - back.

Research a bit.

Peac.

The U.S. gives around 100 million dollars a year to the Ukraine. I'm not saying we're doing anything great over there, but I don't understand why the money wouldn't help somewhat at least. What do you you dislike about America's treatment of the Ukraine? What is the Ukraine like? I've never been there. Cheers from Wisconsin!
