Russia condemns “illogical & harmful” move…
The nuclear-powered ship entering Oslo’s port was a major event, and broadcast live on Norwegian public television, with large crowds gathering to view the spectacle. It was only in May that the US Navy announced it departed Norfolk for its “first combat deployment.”
“There are no issues in the North that require a military solution, nor issues that require outside intervention,” Russian Embassy spokesman Timur Chekanov told AFP by email.
“Considering that Oslo admits that Russia poses no direct military threat to Norway, such shows of force seem illogical and harmful,” he added.

TRYING REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD TO PROVOKE WWIII?
Oh no…not good. You know the NWO loves anniversaries and important dates because they use them to tell their story to each other in code. In that vein, Goldtent readers should know that on the 8th day of June 1940, Britain lost its largest and fastest Aircraft Carrier in one of the greatest maritime disasters of the Second World War when the Germans sank the HMS Glorious and her complement of two destroyers off the Norwegian Coast.
That means the Gerald R Ford (which the largest and fastest US Aircraft Carrier) has arrived just in time for the 83rd anniversary of that historic sinking that drowned 1500 sailors back in 1940. Same seas, same Norwegian coastline, different adversary. But still….please! This is no coincidence and you know it never is. I am going out on a limb therefore and saying that I now strongly suspect this naval arrival is war bait and that Russia will probably sink it in the end. The Gerald R. Ford is going to the bottom exactly as HMS Glorious did so many years ago.

The Gerald R Ford is the first of 10 Nimitz class nuclear powered aircraft carriers to be built and launched –> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_R._Ford-class_aircraft_carrier
It can carry up to 90 of the latest technology US military aircraft including the F-35 (which has the ability to carry nuclear weapons). Having dropped anchor in Oslo the carrier is ~1,000 miles from Moscow –> the F-35 travels @ 1,200 miles/hour and is known to have flown in full stealth mode over Poland.

So the Russian capital Moscow is now within striking range of US operated Military aircraft capable of delivering nuclear armaments.

How will Putin react?
The Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile has a range of 1200 miles at Mach 10 and carries nuclear or conventional warheads. Guess we will see. China will be over the moon if Putin sinks that aircraft carrier. That will be the last day of US maritime dominance on planet Earth and all the allies it has pledeged to defend and support like the Phillipines, Taiwan and Japan will scatter in the wind leaving no alliance at all for American hegemony. Think about it. The US will not be in a position to defend their allies. So the alliance will end overnight and along with it superpower status. Its all comes down to the fate of one single aircraft carrier.
Both these scenarios are exceedingly unlikely. I suppose it’s always possible that our leaders have gone bat-shit crazy, willing to experience armageddon just for the thrill of it, but I judge them as cowardly. Cowards shoot their mouths off because they know they won’t fight. Stupid is different from insane.
Exceedingly unlikely? Are you kidding? Have you ever seen a real war? Here are some notes on a minor naval engagement.
