Abstract

The Black Sea currently has been becoming a stunning and dangerous spot in confrontation between the Russian Federation and the USA. The confrontation caused fragmentation in the geostrategic equilibrium and balance of power between NATO and the Russian Federation in the Black Sea Region, and considering flexing muscles, including with strategic armament, the “New Cold War” scenario's ramifications could stagger regional geopolitics into the most dramatic wargame arena. Moreover, in conjunction with traditional military threats mentioned above are coming out on the scene so-called “non-traditional” military threats – international terrorism, drug smuggling and drug cartel activation, aggressive separatism, violent non-state actors, etc. Hence, the situation in aegis of the wider Black Sea region includes areas such as MENA, Caucasus-Caspian, and South-East Europe with involvement of non-state actors (like Al-Qaida, DAESH, and even Taliban). This could increase the geopolitical stalemate with inclusion of WMD elements (notable biological agents and so-called “dirty bombs”).
