Cuban military operatives reportedly have been spotted in Syria, where sources believe they are advising President Bashar al-Assad’s soldiers and may be preparing to man Russian-made tanks to aid Damascus in fighting rebel forces backed by the U.S.

Makes sense. They’ve trained on Russian military equipment. Looks like Putin’s coalition is “hands on,” while Obama’s invisible allies are “hands off.”

Chinese PLA special forces are also now in Syria, according to many reports. Venezuelan and Nicaraguan forces are likely attached to the Cubans, and CIS troops (Belarus and Kazakh) to the Russian force.

This is really a flashback to the bad old days! Photo Intel joke: How do you tell the Ethiopian from the Cuban adviser? The Cuban casts a shadow! ;-)

Gosh.
It sure seems like Obama is bending over backwards for Cuba these days.
Must be because Cuba is Moslem.
It’s like after Obama attacked Libya, every country that hates the U.S. has something on Obama that they use to blackmail him and get whatever they want. Like he did something bad in Libya, or something.

500 Cuban tank commanders were sent to Syria during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. They engaged IDF-or vice versa. Sure their arrival in Syria is not lost on Israel this time around....

So now if we want to cheer on someone taking down terrorists and crazy aloha snackbars, we have to root for Russia, Iran, Syria and Cuba?

Crazy!

Who next? North Korea ?

People say Russia will never invade the US.

If they team up with China it’s not impossible.

Especially since Barry will be at large for over another year.

He would probably give THEM OUR nuclear codes to use on US.

That POS does everything he can to set the world on fire.
