What does Russia's naval strategy mean? | Inside Story

Published 2022-08-01
President Vladimir Putin has announced his planned expansion of Russia's naval power, singling out the U.S. as the biggest obstacle.
Putin signed a new naval doctrine on Sunday, accusing Washington of trying to dominate the world’s oceans.
The 55-page document states that NATO's movements threaten Moscow's borders and details a plan to strengthen Russia's geopolitical position.
In a speech to mark Navy Day, Putin did not directly mention the war in Ukraine.
Instead, he thanked military personnel, and pledged to defend Russian interests in the Black and Azov seas.
How will this be viewed in Washington?

Presenter: Kim Vinnell

Guests:
Sergei Markov - director of the Institute of Political Studies and former spokesman for President Putin
Wolfgang Pusztai - security defence analyst and former Austrian defence attache
Lawrence Brennan - retired U.S. Navy captain and adjunct professor of law at Fordham University

    Russian naval strategy... you mean like getting your Black Sea fleet trapped in the Black Sea so it can gradually be sunk?
  • If we are talking about US dominance of the seas, I am afraid that ship has sailed (err...those ships)...complain all you want but it is what it is.
  • A new fleet of tugs perhaps so Russian ships can be rescued quickly when they break down
  • @AlwaysBastos
    Please add sub-titles of what they are saying, some people's English is very difficult to follow.

    Putin: 'In order to denazificate Russian fleet, new boats will no longer be built with 'foreign agent' German material, but with great top notch parts from friendly countries India, Turkmenistan and Iran!' (all new boats sink the moment they hit the water😄)
  • @nurodic769
    This is coming from the "3rd most Powerful country", that is losing to a country with NO Navy....the Russia naval strategy is hilarious!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  • Good luck with that Vlad First, Russia's Navy is mostly left over from the cold war and generally considered a joke Second, super carriers aren't cheap. Add in the usual graft from the oligarchs and building one will cost twice if not three times what the U.S. pays Third, it isn't just the U.S. Navy that Russia needs to worry about. We have the biggest navy, but we also coordinate with a large number of other nations navies in NATO Fourth, NATO spends more on its military than Russia can spend on everything. If you pick a fight with someone who spends more on its military than your whole GDP, you will be at a major disadvantage He's just saber rattling
  • RUSSIAN NAVY STATAGY. ..CONVERT THERE FISHING BOATS.🤣😂🤣😂
  • Why is Putin feeling threatened when no one is attacking him or warring against him. The Bible says the wicked flee when no one is pursuing him

  • @usercoimbar
    The two panel participants, the Russian and the Austrian have horrible accents that it is difficult to understand them. They need to be subtitled.
  • Transform UKRAINE into being anti RUSSIAN . I don't think that would have been too difficult . RUSSIA dreams up reasons to feel threatened .
  • Russian Navy is a JOKE! Its Moskva is looking great tho, piloted by Neptune, god of the sea,maybe it is looking for a companion.
  • i guess russia is trying to stake it claim without informing their rival.
  • Lol remember when the mighty english navy lost 7 ships against Argentina. Remember that Argentina was fighting without backers.

    I think this guy was fired by Putin because of his English 😂😂😂
