invulnerable defensively speaking so they can work on other levels according to cottrell the principal level they are aiming at is naval russia has the most modern navy m the world and a navy m general is the most maneuverable force a country can possess the united states has not built a new destroyer m 14 years he suggested the russians do not have a plan for taking over the world but want to protect their interests he says they have not made any major moves m europe because of fear of u.s involvement cottrell said he feels they have a right to a presence m the mediterranean sea and that one of their main objectives is to open the suez canal since this would allow them better access to the persian gulf and other places in fact he pointed out this is one of the major reasons for russian involvement m the middle east he mentioned a possible compromise by which the egyptians and israelis would roll back 40 kilometers to allow the russians tore-open the canal however he said
