Russia does not have a blue water navy. A blue water navy means it can operate thousands of miles away from it's home port, which the Russian navy can no longer do. Recently they made a trip to Cuba, one ship and a supply ship, while the US is operating entire fleets at sea for months at a time half way around the world.
I understand there are "other countries" out there, but very few of them are considered a blue water navy. More or less it's the US, UK, and France.
No, Russia not having a blue water navy doesn't do much for Europe but... This isn't a thread about Europe and Russia, it's about the US and Russia....
