Recently, according to media reports, after the emergency deployment of the US nuclear aircraft carrier to the Aegean Sea, 2 warships also appeared on the doorstep of Russia to demonstrate, they are "Donald Cook" and "Forrest Sherman", this move of the United States has triggered speculation from the outside world: Is Biden ready to cooperate with Zelenskiy and besiege Russia in one south and one north?

It is worth noting that the two warships that appeared in the Baltic Sea this time belong to the Ali Burke destroyer, because they have the ability to oppose submarine, air defense, escort, and support amphibious operations, and they can also achieve accurate strikes on land targets at sea.
On the occasion of the third negotiation between Russia and Ukraine, the United States claimed that the two destroyers entered the Baltic Sea in order to protect the safety of Tu'er and its surrounding areas, but the purpose of this move was intended to show off force against Russia, after all, in this sea, its only potential opponent is Russia, which has also been closely monitored by the Russian military, closely monitoring the movements of the Us military throughout the process, before that, although the US warships were regular visitors to the major naval areas of the Russian naval fleet, the Russian Navy also conducted large-scale exercises in the Baltic Sea from time to time, during which, More than 20 warships have been mobilized, but today is different from the past, since the war between Russia and Ukraine, the Baltic Sea region has become crucial for Russia, and the United States can be said to be meaningful.

At present, the Russo-Ukrainian war is still in full swing, the Russian offensive is not good, it is urgent to dispatch a large number of warships to the coastal areas of Ukraine to provide supply support to the Russian army, who ever thought that when it first reached the "Black Sea Strait", it was blocked by Turkey, and clearly stated that the Russian Navy warships were not allowed to enter the Black Sea, but was the purpose of this operation really as simple as it seemed on the surface? In fact, as we all know, Turkey is also one of the NATO members, this block must be instructed by the United States, and it has always played the role of watching the fire from the other side, and it will not easily rub fire with Russia, so the purpose of this move is nothing more than to delay the progress of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
However, for the obstruction of Russian warships, the United States does not need to put up such a big position, its other purpose is actually to show naval strength to the Western countries, when France was the rotating chairman of the European Union, Macron proposed the idea of forming a "European army", which is obviously to pull the United States off the highest throne of international status and weaken its right to speak in Europe, but how can the United States easily give in, the two destroyers and an aircraft carrier dispatched this time are the best deterrent, so that European countries can dispel this idea. Continue to be obedient to the United States.

Nowadays, the situation in Russia and Ukraine is ever-changing, and every country moves like a butterfly in the rainforest of South America, and every time it "flaps" its wings, it can cause a series of huge reactions. Even if Russia has a stronger military strength than Ukraine, but it is not willing to appear such a passive situation, the US Navy deployed aircraft carriers at the mouth of the Black Sea, invisibly exerting greater military pressure on Russia, it is clear that it is provoking Russia, although both sides do not want to move, but they are talking harshly to each other, showing muscles, that is, in advance to prepare for further deterioration of the situation, to prevent problems.
