Well, damn. I guess Obama DID demand a quid pro quo for stiffing Poland the the Czechs. Putin will pay to upgrade their pal Fidel’s military.

This must be the “quid pro quo” Obama negotiated with the Russians in exchange for stiffing Poland and Hungary on missile defense! It is hilarious that Putin didn’t even wait 24 hours before kicking sand at him — and us.

Boy, it’s a good thing we caved on European missile defense or there’s no telling what those Russki’s might do.

If 0buttwipe would just get rid of all of our nasty missiles pointing at Cuba they wouldn’t need military help from Russia. /s

Now if Fidel orders up some SA-300 batteries, well then the USAF and Navy will have to abandon a good part of the Gulf of Mexico and bordering states. Would suit Hussein just fine, I’m sure. Perhaps he and Fidel could help Hugo get some 300s of his own.

Even more disturbing the fact that I checked Google News and Google, and not a single news source is reporting this other than the Cubans and the Russians. No AP, not AFP, no Reuters, and certainly no U.S. newspapers or networks.

We need also to remove missile shield from our territory. It’s too provoking.

Exactly what I was thinking. I was one of the dependants evacuated from GTMO - Oct 22, 1962. The last few years, the relevence of the event seems to have faded from media memory.

Biden just said there is no danger from Iran. Please extrapolate on Cuba, Russia, Chaves, etc....

This is from the Onion right? I can’t take it anymore. Is Soetoro offering to foot the bill to rearm Castro too? Hell of time to be sober.
