Russia
has recently renewed its vows to give more support to Cuba in various
fields, supposedly to shield the communist-led island nation against
U.S. sanctions.

But
their avowed help goes beyond ‘various fields’ which are
typically commercial matters such as tourism and trade, to include
defense. They want to renew their use of Cuba as a military base in
the back-yard of the United States, and because of Donald Trump’s
quest for a Nobel Peace Prize award that may just happen.

Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met Thursday 24 July 2019 in Havana
with his Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla during a trip
there. Russia is seeking to further develop Cold War-era relations in
the face of a hard-line administration in Washington. The top Russian
diplomat criticized President Donald Trump's decision in April to
impose new trade restrictions on Cuba, actions he dismissed as
"unacceptable" and "unlawful economic coercion."
Of course, what the Russians want to protest about is economic
restrictions by the Americans against themselves. Russia is hurting
with US and EU sanctions in place against them naming their
aggression in the Crimea which they annexed, and hence the reason for
sanctions.

Russia,
under Putin, is proving to be a dirty state. They are involving
themselves internationally worldwide in politics and encouraging
militarism of every nation they get their hooks into. That
encouragement includes selling missile defense systems on special
payment plan terms. We must expect to the S-400s air defense system
to arrive in Cuba to defend the new Russian base there

There is
a great danger of the Russians once again funding Cuba to act as
their nominee, as their front man, in converting the whole of the
Americas and the Caribbean into a pseudo-Cuban dominion while the
Russians are the hidden freeholders.

Lavrov,
further declared, "We shall fully support Cuba's people not only
politically, not only morally, not only using developing
military-technical cooperation but also through encouraging trade and
economic projects to help the country's economy become more resistant
to all kinds of external threats."

If we
once more take away misleading rhetoric in that statement it is quite
obvious this is all about the militarism of the USA’s back yard.
What the Cubans can offer in return for help is obvious, they have no
oil or great amounts of minerals or metals. The only thing they can
offer is a facility right up close to the US, a prospective Russian
attack point.

Lavrov
went on to say, "I hope that we will succeed, today, we talked
about this in detail. The economic departments of our two countries
are constantly working on this."

Havana's
ties with Moscow has in the past directly affected its troubled
relations with Washington. The 1952 Cuban Revolution that overthrew
Washington-backed President Fulgencio Batista and brought to power
Fidel Castro saw local industries nationalized en masse, angering the
U.S., which ultimately enacted a comprehensive economic embargo on
the country just 90 miles off the coast of Florida.

A series
of alleged sonic attacks said to have targeted U.S. diplomats in
Havana has yet to be explained, though an academic study released
suggested they had brain-altering effects on diplomatic staff.

Peter
Binose of SVG wrote about microwave weapons in 2014. Following which
news forums around the World wrote their own stories lifting some of
his information as their own from the Binose theory, as it went
internationally viral.

I also
wrote about it when this matter arose again in 2018

In
April, the US administration rolled out a new set of sanctions to
further prevent the flow of U.S. capital to Cuba due to its support
for Venezuela. But the sanctions are just not enough, the removal of
the Cuban puppet in Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, is of utmost
importance. They have to turn off Cuba’s supply of oil.

There is
word out that the Russians are talking about installing the S-400
system in Venezuela on a lease basis. They cannot say no because with
interest they owe the Russians as much as ten million US dollars.
Putin knows they will get paid because they are storing and handling
much of Venezuela’s gold now. So between the Russians having the
first call on Venezuela's crude oil and gold. China looking for loan
repayments. Iran is mining uranium in Venezuela and has the first
call on Venezuelan and Bolivian uranium. With Cuba freeloading by
supplying a few medical personnel in return for millions of US
dollars worth of crude oil, and several small countries using
Venezuelan money under the guise of PetroCarib [some leaders even
stealing that money]. Venezuela stands no chance of recovery, and the
Venezuelan people will continue to be driven from their country. All
of this is cheered on by some of the ALBA member countries leaders
such as Dr. Ralph E Gonsalves prime minister of Saint Vincent. People
ask why Gonsalves would support such a man as Maduro and help
exasperate the situation in Venezuela. The simple answer to that is,
Gonsalves, and people like him are not supporting Maduro; they are
supporting communism. They know that if Maduro goes, so does
communism, and capitalism will flow back into Venezuela within a very
short time.

The USA is letting down democracy in the Caribbean and the Americas. Big talk by Trump makes an obvious magnet to comments like “like all bullies, plenty of mouth but when fronted backs down” I think it is worse than that. I believe Trump wants to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and by avoiding conflict at the cost of Venezuelans lives, he may just get that award.

Come on
America you must do better, you are already losing your allies in
India and Turkey to the Russians, but losing your backyard to them as
well?

The
danger posed by this Russian invasion, and it is an invasion, they
will be based ninety miles from Miami, that far outweighs any threat
you may conceive from not building the wall.
