The Art of
War
US
Fleet with 1000 missiles in the Mediterranean
Manlio
Dinucci
The US aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman, which set sail
from the world's largest naval base in Norfolk (Virginia), has entered the
Mediterranean with its strike group.
The strike group consists
of the guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy and the guided-missile destroyers
USS Farragut, USS Forrest Sherman, USS Bulkeley, and USS Arleigh Burke. Two others, USS
Jason Dunham and USS The Sullivans, will rejoin the strike group at a later
date. The German destroyer FGS Hessen is added to the Truman strike group.
The fleet, with more than 8,000 men on board, has
enormous firepower. The Truman – a supercarrier 300 meters long, equipped with
two nuclear reactors - can launch 90 fighters and helicopters in consecutive
waves. Its strike group, supplemented by 4 destroyers already in the
Mediterranean and some submarines, can launch over 1,000 cruise missiles.
The US Naval Forces Europe-Africa – whose headquarters
are located in Naples-Capodichino while the base of the Sixth Fleet is located
in Gaeta – has thus been reinforced. They are under the orders of the same
admiral (currently James Foggo) who commands the Allied Joint Force Command
Naples at Lago Patria.
The deployment of the US fleet in the Mediterranean is
part of the overall strengthening of US forces in Europe, under the orders of
the same general (currently Curtis Scaparrotti) who holds the position of
Supreme Allied Commander in Europe.
In a congressional hearing, Scaparrotti explains the
reason for the strengthening of US forces in Europe. What he presents is a real
war scenario: he accuses Russia of carrying
out “a campaign of destabilization to change the international order, fracture
NATO and undermine US leadership around the world”.
After "the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia
and its destabilization of Eastern Ukraine", the United States, which
deploys over 60,000 troops in European NATO countries, has increased its position in Europe by
deploying an armoured brigade combat team and a combat aviation brigade, and by
pre-positioning equipment for additional armoured brigade combat
teams. At the same time the US doubled its maritime deployments to the
Black Sea.
To strengthen its forces in Europe, the United States has
spent more than 16 billion dollars in five years. At the same time, the US pushed their
European allies to increase their military spending by 46 billion dollars in
three years to strengthen NATO deployment against Russia .
This is part of the strategy launched by Washington in
2014 with the Maidan putsch and the consequent attack on the Russians of
Ukraine: making Europe the first line of a new cold war to strengthen US
influence on its allies and hinder Eurasian cooperation. The NATO foreign
ministers reaffirmed their consent on April 27, preparing a further expansion
of NATO to the East against Russia through the entry of Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Macedonia, Georgia and Ukraine.
This strategy requires an adequate preparation of public
opinion. To this end, Scaparrotti accuses Russia of "using political provocation, spreading
disinformation and undermining democratic institutions" even in Italy. He then announces that “the US and NATO counter Russian misinformation with
truthful and transparent information". In
their wake, the European Commission announces a series of measures against fake
news, accusing Russia of using "disinformation in its war strategy".
It is to be expected that NATO and the EU will censor
what is published here, by decreeing that the US fleet in the Mediterranean is
fake news spread by Russia in its "war strategy".
