Thanks to Cuba, Russia is a growing threat to the U.S. | Opinion
The Miami Herald via Yahoo ^ | June 13th, 2024 | Jaime Suchlicki

The current visit to Cuba and the Caribbean by a contingent of Russian naval war vessels and submarines indicates Russia’s growing displeasure with the U.S. military policy and support for Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested this week that Moscow could take asymmetrical steps if Western countries were to supply Ukraine with weapons that were then used on Russian soil.

In addition, these types of trips show support and solidarity for friendly countries and familiarize the crews with the ports and Caribbean waters. The Russians have been conducting these types of trips periodically.

For a second consecutive year, prominent Russian military and security leaders visited Cuba meeting with General Raul Castro and other Cuban officials. Included in the Russian delegation are Putin’s close ally Nikolai Patrushev, the head of the Kremlin strategic forces, and high intelligent officials. Before leaving for Nicaragua and Venezuela an article in Pravda discussing Patrushev’s visit emphasized that Havana discussed defense aspects with its Russian visitors.

“Armed with Russian missiles Cuba will be a symmetrical response to NATO’s expansion to the Russian threshold.”

Russian leader Vladimir Putin reaffirmed his military support to the Cuban regime through a series of agreements in June, during Cuba’s Prime Minister Manuel Marrero’s visit to Moscow.

CIA/NATO/Democrats/RINOs/Pentagon/State Dept. orchestrated this whole fiasco.

Now Russia is doing a tit for tat and the whole situation is an attack on the USA’s sovereignty and the US dollar. The globalist fascists couldn’t be any happier.

This is unbelieveable. Our sub cruised into Guantanomm Bay and at least 6 of our carrier groups are apread out strategically yet the media wants to make you believe we need to be concerned about RUSSIA!!

Better keep your eyes on NATO and the UN. Both do not have our interests at heart or in mind.

Ukraine is hemorrhaging Russia. Will the oil money from China finance their goings on in Cuba? Is Cuba really worth it to them? Their aircraft carrier can’t make it out of Europe and their Black Sea fleet appear to be sitting ducks. That cruise Moscova? Something like that. It’s being taken out is quite teachable.

Vlad with nukes. Biden in the WH. What could go wrong?

I'd bet the Russian crews will want to come back in February.

This isn’t the 1950’s missiles can be fired from anywhere. This is just BS posturing to try to get the US to back down from expanding NATO

“The price of helping Ukraine.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That statement is fake news.

Russia and China are building military bases all over the place in Southern America, against the USA. And as every honest person knows, it started well before Russia decided to blatantly attack Ukraine.

Just one example:

Ortega turns Nicaragua into Central America’s “Russian Base”
https://confidencial.digital/english/ortega-turns-nicaragua-into-central-americas-russian-base/

And Peru is turning int a Chinese Communist military base..

It’s time for our neo-soviet apologists and pro china commies here on FR to wake up.
