Russian bombers based in Cuba and Venezuela? Predicted in Collins Report last November
The Collins Report ^ | March 16, 2009 | Kevin “Coach” Collins

Posted on 03/16/2009 6:22:29 AM PDT by jmaroneps37

A November 28, 2008 Collins Report prediction seems to becoming true. That essay read: “The Russians have started the push that might come to shove and the heat has been turned up on Barack Obama.

"Because of the sagging price of oil, the Russians have to do something or watch their country slip into anarchy. They need a crisis to move oil prices back up and Cuba is a very handy place to foment one. They are probing Obama for weakness…. but [The Russian’s] real targets were Venezuela and Guantanamo Cuba.

“[Russian President] Medvedev talked with America hater Hugo Chavez, basically as a pot stirrer, … Cuba was his main concern.

“The Castro brothers are sitting on a piece of land that the Russians, now more than ever, find very interesting.” As per www.breitbart.com the Russian Air Force is talking to both Cuba and Venezuela about placing Russian long range bombers in airfields within their borders.

Production cut talk didn’t work

To stay healthy, the Russian economy needs $70.00 plus oil. On March 12 the Russian Oil Ministry floated a rumor it would cut production. The move worked well enough to push crude oil’s price up 11%.

Nevertheless, the market immediately shrugged off Russia’s bluster and oil started falling again March 13. Since talking obviously didn’t work, Russia has moved to a “Cold War” style escalation of tensions. Talking about putting bombers ninety miles from Miami is their next turn of the screw.

If this fails to move the world to crisis mode and thus ramp up prices, they will station their planes in Cuba. This Report predicted that when Obama hands Guantanamo to Castro he will sell it to the Russians. Everything points toward this happening and Obama’s is too naïve to recognize it.

You read it here first.

THIS Chicago "gangster" won't scare real Moscow street gangsters. This is yet another prodeuct of Obama's s^%t machine we have to deal with because of the nitwits who voted for Obama.

This is a real threat to us. This threat make the economy thing look very minor. I’d rather be broke than dead. They didn’t waste much time testing the magic negro.

I guess it's time for The Chosen One to start emulating one of his other "heroes", JFK.

Obama is so much MORE of a bumbler and a fool than Kennedy was, though, that THIS time we probably WILL end up in a nuclear war.

I hope they become upset to the point of removal.

Collins has a subjective definition of the word prediction.

Russian military "considering stationing bombers on Cuba" (21 July 2008)

No, it’s not. The Russians just want to LOOK like they want to provoke something.

The Russians are hurting like everyone else. If the purpose of this is to spike oil prices back up I wouldn’t put it past the Russians to have talked this over with the US quietly so that a manufactured crisis could be generated with no real threat.

Obama is little more than a south side Chicago half-Negro adept only at Chicago thuggery, the Russians have already seen his weakness's and so have the American people. He has recently tried his "bed side manner" with the Russians and was told to go away, he threw two American allies under the bus with those secrete talks....he then snubbed another great American friend, England - because his grandfather didn't like the Brits....he is blaming President Bush for his problems rather than pick up the sack and continue the march for freedom....Obama is a little man, he is not a leader and certainly not ready for the job he was elected for.

Wake Up America, you elected an impostor - Obama is not who he said he was....who writes those words on his teleprompters?

Putin’s Tupolev TU-95 “Bear” bombers are an old design but in new airframes. At full steep pitch they can outrun most interceptors. Just their coming and going from Cuba or Venezuela will give everybody the jitters.

The Cubans will consider the Russian offer carefully, but Chavez in usual fashion is leaping at the idea.

Boy, I’d sure hate to have anything happen to those bases and landing strips the next time a bomber approaches our airspace. /s

Steep pitch and flat pitch are characteristics of variable pitch propellers. A standard reciprocating engine aircraft goes to flat pitch/high rpm for takeoff, steep pitch/reduced rpm at cruising altitude.

The Tu-95 is the only successful combination of contrarotating propellers and gas turbine engines. At altitude it cruises with its propellers at full steep pitch and greatly reduced output shaft rpm. Notice how any photo of a Tu-95 in flight makes the propellers appear stopped?

When pursued, however, the Tu-95’s turbine output rpm can be greatly increased without adjusting pitch, such is its power in reserve. This combination can push it to nearly six hundred knots airspeed.

Hard to catch, in other words.

Why would the Russians attack us when we’re voluntarily going Socialist? The Russian government is less likely to want to spread Communism world-wide than the Obama administration.
