Cuba Is Intervening in Syria to Help Russia

Sounds ludicrous to me. What kind of "troops" do the Cubans have? They are broke. Their air force is still flying Mig 21s I think.

This sounds like another desperate propaganda ploy by the US. Russia has done in 2 weeks what the US could not do in a year, and there is a very good reason for that.

WhaT exactly has Russia done? Other than bomb anti-Assad rebels while ignoring ISIS?
 
Few Americans know that Fidel Castro was ready to nuke the United States, and that Khrushchev took away the nuclear missiles since he knew he would do it. Castro hatred against the United States is so deep, that he did not give a damn that such action sealed the annihilation of the Cuban people and a large part of humanity.

On November 1962 the FBI arrested three Castroit agents in New York and seized a cache of explosives and incendiary devices. Their plot was to bomb Grand Central Station, Macy’s, Gimbels and Bloomingdale’s department stores in New York during the holiday shopping rush, which would had provoked a holocaust bigger that 9/11. Frightening what the regime had in storage for the American people. Many U.S. citizens would change their support of the Obama Policy with regard to the Castroit regime if they were aware of the facts.

Cuba had nuclear weapons and were ready to use them on the US? How did this escape the attention of the world?

Have you ever considered visiting the conspiracy thread. They love crap like this.

They have turned the tide, militarily, in favor of Assad's forces. They have put the rebels, including ISIS, into extreme disarray.
 
:lamo :lamo :lamo :lamo

How silly you are.....see the thread Russia's 4th Front

What is Cuba doing in Syria that the USA hasn't been doing there and all over this planet for a long time?

Fill us in.

Come back when you have some real news.

:lol:

What Cuba is doing is counter to anything the US is doing. obozo opening up relations with Cuba, was just another of dozens of policy failures by this putz in the WH!
 
What will USA do about it? Sanctions?

IF USA supports the anti-Assad rebels then isnt USA at war with Russia?

Russia is now saying that they will build a "unified military base". Apparently it will have a port.

Is USA still the leader of the world? It doesnt seem like it?

France FM came out today in support of Russia bombing CIA-backed rebels. US allies are flaking. Australia said they will not bomb Assad only ISIS. Australia wants no beef with Russia. It doesnt seem like US is still leader of world.

Cuba government has not confirmed that Cuban troops are in Syria yet. This may be rumours. The rumours about the Chinese in Syria turned out to be nonsense. America seems paranoid. I wonder if a nation like Indonesia will join the fight. Or Venezuela maybe. Who else could join the Russian coalition? What is a unified military base anyway? And what happens if China or Russia build military base in Cuba or Venezuela and start sending war ships through shipping lanes like USA does to China in Asia Pacific?

What does Marco Rubio say about all of this anyway?

If WW3 does start in Middle East or Asia Pacific will any US allies support USA against Russia and China and friends? I doubt it.

edit- Cuba is very popular with leftists. If this is true then it will be bad for USA.

And do CIA-backed rebels really have a chance against Russia and Iran and Cuba? Maybe they would be better used in Yemen to try to get rid of the Houthi.

What if Russia defeats ISIS in Syria? It will make USA and Australia look like idiots and liars.

You seem delighted to see the USA encountering problems....
 
Who is that? Russia? An enemy of the US? Or Assad?

I'm sceptical that this story is true; I'll wait to hear it from a reputable source. In the meantime, surely anyone who is fighting ISIS and Al-Nusra (Al Qaeda) should be seen as the US's ally, shouldn't they?

Both!
 
We sure have a good number of Commies in our midst.

Noooo...........................that is a lie!



Paranoia is often confused by liberals....who can't tell the difference between paranoia and common sense concern or caution.

Recognizing the many different threats in the world, from many different countries...is NOT paranoia...it's awareness and acknowledgement of those threats.

The John Birch Society is very right, on many different things.

Just look at all the stupid people who would vote in Hillary or Sanders for President. They aren't the least bit concerned for the safety of America, because they expect those two assholes to do the right thing.....they won't .........and Hillary has a loooong history of not doing the right thing!

Letter from Fidel Castro to Nikita Khrushchev
October 26, 1962

Dear Comrade Khrushchev:

I would like to briefly express my own personal opinion.

If the second variant takes place and the imperialists invade Cuba with the aim of occupying it, the dangers of their aggressive policy are so great that after such an invasion the Soviet Union must never allow circumstances in which the imperialists could carry out a nuclear first strike against it.

I tell you this because I believe that the imperialists' aggressiveness makes them extremely dangerous, and that if they manage to carry out an invasion of Cuba -- a brutal act in violation of universal and moral law -- then that would be the moment to eliminate this danger forever, in an act of the most legitimate self-defense. However harsh and terrible the solution, there would be no other.

Letter from Nikita Khrushchev to Fidel Castro
October 30, 1962

Dear Comrade Fidel Castro:

In your cable of October 27 you proposed that we be the first to carry out a nuclear strike against the enemy's territory. Naturally you understand where that would lead us. It would not be a simple strike, but the start of a thermonuclear world war.

Dear Comrade Fidel Castro, I find your proposal to be wrong, even though I understand your reasons.

Nowhere is there any mention of Cuba had nuclear weapons, which is what your initial rant claimed. If you're telling the world that the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons, I think we already knew that. Make up your mind.

Do you always just repost you nonsense?

The notion that Castro had nuclear weapons and that Krushchev took them away from him betrays a lack of understanding of world history and global political realities that is truly mind-boggling. Trying to logically argue with these folks is tantamount to trying to teach card tricks to a Beagle.

Fidel Castro and Che Guevara made up their mind:

Fidel Castro advocated a massive preemptive nuclear attack on the United States if Cuba were invaded. No other world leader is known to have recommended the use of even a single nuclear warhead since 1945. Castro forgot a minor detail, to get the consent of 6.6 million Cubans that would be annihilated in a nuclear war.

Che Guevara confided to The London Daily Worker in November 1962 regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis, "We would have used them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York City." Che hatred against the United States was so deep, that he did not give a damn that such action sealed the annihilation of the Cuban people and a large part of humanity.

You are literally a broken record.
 
According to Sergei Khrushchev, son of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and writer of his memoir, the White House was unaware of the fact that in Cuba there were not only strategic missiles but also several dozen tactical missiles, also with nuclear warheads, and 42,000 Soviet forces on the island, not the 10,000 reported by the CIA. Sergei recall that when Nikita received Castro’s letter he shouted, “This is insane; Fidel wants to drag us into the grave with him!”
 
It is in their genes. Nuclear warfare was the Castro brother’s way to destroy the U.S. regardless of the consequences:

In July 18, 1960, Raul Castro toll Life magazine, “My dream is to drop three Atomic Bombs on New York City”. Two years later, Fidel Castro agree to allow installation in Cuban soil of Soviet nuclear warheads aimed at the U.S.

In “The Fog of War” by Errol Morris, McNamara, in a meeting chaired by Fidel Castro in January 1992 in Havana, asked three questions to him, “Number one: did you know the nuclear warheads were there? Number two: if you did, would you have recommended to Khrushchev in the face of an U.S. attack that he use them? Number three: if he had used them, what would have happened to Cuba?"

Castro said: “Number one, I knew they were there. Number two, I would not have recommended to Khrushchev, I did recommend to Khrushchev that they be used. Number three, 'What would have happened to Cuba?' It would have been totally destroyed."
 
[FONT=&]The Obama administration ignored the smuggling of weapons by the Castroit regime to North Korea in 2013, and the smuggling of Chinese weapons through Colombia in February 2015. Instead, it removed the Castroit regime from the state-sponsors of terrorism. Raul Castro reciprocate to the new policy of Obama administration, by sending troops to Syria to aide Assad.[/FONT]

Cuba is an ally of Russia's. And there is no bigger arms dealer in the world than the US, who also sells arms to countries of dubious pursuits.

HAVANA — During another October 53 years ago, a young Fidel Castro played Cuba off the world's two superpowers. The Soviets installed nukes on the island, the Americans demanded their removal, and Castro ended up with a U.S. promise not to invade, assuring the survival of his Cuban revolution.

This week it seemed like the Khrushchev era all over again, minus the scary red buttons. Moscow signed off on $1.4 billion in loans for a massive upgrade at two Cuban power plants. Russian cultural officials announced plans to build an art museum in the center of Havana. And Cuba's state media cheered Russian airstrikes in Syria, depicting the intervention as a decisive, overdue effort to crush the Islamic State and end the civil war.
Click link above for full article.
Russia’s strategic interest in Cuba has grown steadily. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin announced that Russia may set up an aviation engineering center in Cuba. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that Moscow was seeking a network of global naval bases that included Cuba and Nicaragua. He observed that Moscow not only wanted the use of ports for its ships but also installations for the refueling of its long-range bombers. After Shoigu visited Cuba in February 2015, Russian media wrote about the possible reactivation of the Lourdes electronic and signals intelligence facility in Havana.
 
Already on February 26, 2014, The Washington Times reported that a Russian spy ship docked in the port of Havana, Cuba.
Link: Russian spy ship docked in Communist Cuba - Washington Times

And on January 21, 2015, ABC News reported of another Russian spy ship docking in Havana Port. Link: Russian Spy Ship's Arrival in Cuba Raises Eyebrows - ABC News

On January 20, Obama talk about to lift the Cuba embargo, on the 21 his team arrived in the island for talks about establishing normal relation, the same day the spy ship arrived in Havana.

Seems that the ship has come to meet the high ranking Obama delegation when they arrive. Great timing for Russia to do that. The Russian are coming, the Russian are coming.
