Why not use Cuba as an example instead of Canada or Mexico?

Russia already has an erstwhile ally in Cuba. So why not make your straw man arguments about a country that really is a Russian ally?

What’s stopping Russia from doing whatever they want to in Cuba?

Russian bombers fly to Cuba and refuel for the return trip every week or so. I’m sure Cuba would not mind a visit from the Russian navy. Maybe send your aircraft carrier if it ever works again.

Don’t forget Venezuela! They like Russia, too!

“Russia HAS CONSISTENTLY sought peace”

This is true. Russia has consistently sought a piece of Georgia, a piece of Japan, a piece of Finland, a piece of Ukraine, a piece of Moldova, & etc.

And a piece of Austria and Hungary per chance.

I do use Cuba as an example. When the Soviets threatened to put missiles in Cuba, we certainly didn't tolerate it.

I guess you haven't heard of the Bay of Pigs invasion?

The Soviets, however, backed off.

We kept and keep escalating in Ukraine.

The same thing that SHOULD have stopped our meddling in Ukraine -- military force.

The Russians know they couldn't defend any troops they stationed in Cuba.

We should have known that there is no way we could win a proxy war in Ukraine.

BTW, I am perfectly consistent. If Russia or China were engaged in the kind of military buildup in Mexico or Cuba, I would be all for US invading.

Russia has consistently sought peace in Ukraine -- 1) the Minsk Accords, which Ukraine signed and we encouraged them not to enforce. 2) Coming to us in December of 2021 when the Russians came to us with their security concerns hoping to avoid this war 3) In Turkey in March of last year where a peace deal was almost struck and killed by us and the Brits>

ADDRESS THE DAMN POINTS or admit you can't.

There isn't a nation on earth that has invaded and meddled in more countries than WE HAVE over the past 30 years. And, virtually every time we've done so, it has been to benefit our political elite, their financial backers and the defense industry. Long gone are the days of Ronald Reagan, who used our foreign policy to try to free those in the rest of the world from tyranny.

Your neocon worldview and narratives are lies.
