WASHINGTON

Russia is looking to expand its military presence and has its eye on Cuba and other Latin American countries.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Russia has come up with a list of countries where it’s considering opening military bases. They include Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Vietnam, according to Russia’s state-owned RIA Novosti news agency.

“The talks are under way,” Shoigu told reporters in Moscow.

I would not be surprised if Obama offered them Fort Bragg.

Well, this should put to rest any notion that they’re trying to help Trump.

Yup, Hillary and Obama’s “reset” with Russia has certainly made us and the world more secure.

Russia is preparing to take over the world.

MSM keeps pounding a dirty word.

Buy ammo, guns and matches.

Can’t blame them. The government of the USA are nothing but declawed PUSSYS.

Heh.

The cynical side of me sees this as a backhanded admission that the Russian military has to rely on foraging to feed itself so it needs to spread out and let other people provide the fodder.

Ha ha ha...

Do it and the defections will explode...

No wonder Obama is trying to empty out Guantanamo.

Maybe we shouldn’t be piling up weapons in their back yard in Eastern Europe either.

Obama has already rejected giving up the lease regarding the Naval Base. He’s willing give it up for the prison.

I always wondered why Castro didn’t just shut down Guantanamo when he took power.

Should be real interesting re: the Russians.

Will Hillary get the Red Carpet VIP treatment from ANY country in the world?

Don't the Russians have to ‘buy’ a speech from Hillary or her whoremonger husband or the pedophiles over at ‘STATE’ before they can set up massive numbers of ICBM’s in Cuba?

Or do the American people have to pay the Cubans a billion dollars in CASH first?

I mean the crooks, sell-outs, and elite DC traitors have their 'rules'...

There could be a positive in this for our country.

They might be able to easily hit Washington D.C. from there.

Three words...

It’s very simple.

Obama will simply withdraw out troops, Marines, sailors, blue suiters, etc. from Guantanamo.

Castro will not have to fight for it. He will imply walk in to an empty base.

Then Castro will rent it out to the Russians, Chinese, Iranians or even the Norks.

Another stab in the back from Obama.
