sigint: signals intelligence, monitoring emails, phones, and satellite transmissions.

Heck, we’ve got their best buddy “running” the country. Why do they need to worry about going through Cuba?

[Wallace T.]

Cuban-Chinese cooperation should only surprise those who believe that China is not designing with the cooperation of Russia, Marxist nations like Cuba, and radical Islamist regimes to topple American and Western hegemony. Many, myself included, are disgusted at the rampant decadence and anti-freedom attitudes of the Western ruling classes and governments. However, China and its allies are still targeting the effective end of U.S. power.

Don’t worry, we’re the good guys. We don’t do any spying like this. If only all other nations were as upstanding and honorable as the USA.

[9YearLurker]

FWIW there are already reports of a shared China/Russia/Cuba station/camp/base in Mexico.

[NeverTyranny]

History repeats itself except this is a spy base! Re: Bay of Pigs.

[wiseprince]

A secret agreement that’s posted in a major newspaper in the United States. Sounds legit

[McGruff]

Not good news.

I’m surprised Russia hasn’t reopened their old bases on Cuba.

[ProudDeplorable]

It’s amazing how history repeats itself. Instead of a missile crisis it will be a balloon crisis. Thanks Barry for opening up relations with this dictatorial regime and throwing it a lifeline.

“sigint: signals intelligence, monitoring emails, phones, and satellite transmissions.”

Then we need sigsec: Signal security, blowing the holy hell out of that spy base.

From what I’ve read over the last few months Chinese Telecom firms have a firm grip on our communications already.

It’s really mind boggling, as I have been totally lost since we first started our massively buying Chinese products and moving our manufacturing there. Just why would we be supporting a sworn communist enemy of ours? Why would be be giving them profits to build their military to equal or better ours? Now thanks to the US dollars flooding their country in exchange for cheap goods, they can afford to practically surround us, with this spy base being an example.

[lgjhn23]

Does the “big guy” gets 10% for this “deal”?

[fuente]

Time for us to do the same in Taiwan and Vietnam

[Sirius Lee]

I guarantee that the chicoms already have people embedded at every level at all the FVEY facilities.

[Magnum44]

Up, up, and away, in my beautiful, my beautiful...

[moovova]

If you give a Chinese mouse a cookie...

[MagaMatt]

So much for the Monroe doctrine...

[CodeJockey]

“While I cannot speak to this specific report, we are well aware of—and have spoken many times to—the People’s Republic of China’s efforts to invest in infrastructure around the world that may have military purposes, including in this hemisphere,” John Kirby, spokesman for the National Security Council, said.

Kirby went on to say the US would never do such a thing and China should follow the US model of keeping its military assets in it's own country.

i’ve seen this movie before...

[Hot Tabasco]

Shhhhhhhh, it’s a secret.

[Texas resident]

The white house denies this, so that means the base has been up and running for years.
