The American news agency Bloomberg is talking about a bomb deal between B. Putin and H. Haftar for a Russian naval or air base in eastern Libya. This defense deal has alarmed Washington for several reasons:

  1. First, Turkey controls western Libya and Russia controls eastern Libya. The two countries fly outside France, Italy, USA.
  2. Russia and Turkey will extend control over the Sahel Zone. We remind you that recently France as well as the USA began to withdraw from a series of countries in Africa such as Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, etc.
  3. Russian ships will be literally next to Italy and Greece, controlling southern EuropeThe constant strategic goal of the USA, to keep Russia out of the Mediterranean, is on the way.
  4. Currently, the Russian fleet has a naval base in Tartus, Syria. The emergence of another in Tobruk will greatly expand Russia's capabilities in the Middle East.
  5. Fifth, and most importantly, three countries in the row have as a strategic orientation the BRICS, Algeria, Libya and Egypt which has already entered. Algeria and Libya can close the entry/exit between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. 
Another problem that has arisen is the emergence of a Russian naval base in Sudan, on the Red Sea, which will give Moscow permanent access to the Suez Canal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Peninsula.

There is a huge issue for NATO, US and EU.

According to the American publication, citing anonymous sources, Moscow and Tobruk are already preparing an agreement on defense issues.


As Bloomberg reports, a defense deal was reached during Russian President Vladimir Putin's meeting with eastern Libyan military commander Khalifa Haftar in Moscow last September, according to people briefed on the matter who asked not to be named.
