Russia - Back in Cuba

[JohnyMac]

American Partisan has posted the following bulletin that Russia is back in Cuba at their old base, Lourdes Intelligence Station. Here is a link to the article. 

A few more tidbits of info in no particular order:

> A Ru$$ian backed Kalashnikov rifle (AK-103) factory in Venezuela that was supposed to start manufacturing
   in late 2019 is reported ahead of schedule and producing the rifle. It is estimated that they will produce
   25,000 a year.
> A Chinese company took over the operation of the Panama Canal several years ago.
> The current caravan from Honduras is reportedly being funded through Chia's proxy, Venezuela. Although
    the mainstream media is pushing the story-line that the folks in the caravan are made up of poor men,
    women, and children. In fact, 95% of the folks in the caravan are made up of military age men.
> China has been on Cuba monitoring the USofA since 1999.

Several years ago I read on the intewiz a Russian plan from the height of the Cold War of taking over the USofA. In essence the plan was to disenfranchise the American people when it comes to Washington, preplant X number of undercover troops in the country, set up an army in Central America, and have ready conventional and nuclear missiles deployed around North America.

Once internal strife or unrest reached a crescendo, launch an attack to not necessarily take over the USofA but to cripple us enough that China and Russia become the dominate country around the globe. I suspect that China and Russia would successfully take over Hawaii and Alaska respectively.

Interesting stuff folks are we there? Thoughts?

I doubt I will live to see thing when it calms down.

    I'm not too concerned about Russians in Cuba, I'm sure they have agent-provocateurs embedded throughout the U.S.   Look at that spy ring they found in Long Island a few years back.  I'm also sure they have a few submarines with nuclear tipped missiles lurking off of our coasts, they've always been there.  I still feel like our biggest enemies are domestic terrorists, namely progressive politicians.

Mmmm, I hear ya' Jackalope however what a great spot for deploying troops. Not necessarily the US but other area's in the area. Thinking Central America as one example.

I truly think that this caravan was just a test run for "what ever". The there is always EW (Electronic Warfare). What a great location on terra firma to export EW from the Mississippi east.

 Wasn't the term "Progressive" used in the early 20th century used to describe Communists then they used Liberal when people caught on?

[JohnyMac]

Yupper JoJo. The Progressive movement moved over to Europe in the late 20's and early 30's and became known as Fascism.

The progressives are using the establishment to meet their goals, and they're doing a great job I'm sad to say

I'm worried about any politician who is paid more by lobbyists or pacs than the tax payer. 

between Soros and the koch's that just might include the vast majority of elected officials in both chambers of the legislative branch and more than one supreme court justice.  if you add banking and insurance, big ag and pharma - you might get to nearly %100.  This would include the golden visa's, the Russian, Saudi and Emerity deals by the current white house family.  Now you have a disenfranchised electorate. 

right now, i'm not too worried about the Russians saber rattling - its a small dog barking.  we have problems much closer to home.   Russian's in Cuba is old news and not entirely relevant to our current problems - keep an eye on them for sure but identify and deal with the most dangerous problems first.

Something that many forget about both Russia and China, is that they play the game differently.

They have always played the long game in their espionage and tactics. While they often appear to loose tactically. They do tend to make gains strategically.

If they are in Cuba. You can bet that there are multiple levels of reasoning behind it. Not to worried about them being in Cuba. Just as they are less worried about our troops in countries on their borders.

South and central America have always been a place where proxy conflict politics have been in play. Nothing new there.

I am more interested in what aims the long game has.

The best thing our enemies can do is encourage the division's occurring in our societies. I do believe that is happening.

I agree with you Gadget,  Cuba used to be a beachhead into the America's with no danger of triggering the Monroe doctrine.  Now they can pick and choose. 
Their game now is asymmetrical manipulation.  Especially in politics and the news media.  As i'm sure you have noticed, they are playing the same game in Europe too.  Natural gas makes it a huge issue for Germany.  Funny, Russia needs the currency more than the German's need the natural gas but the German's keep backing down.

at least Great Britain seems to be trying to clean house a bit.  Its all cocked-up, but at least they are trying.

   Meanwhile, whilst we're all distracted, China is quietly taking over Africa.

As Gadget wrote, "I am more interested in what aims the long game has."

Kbop, I think Russia isn't a small dog. Tough for me to accept that since they have Europe by the fossil fuel scrotum and nuclear weapons.

With that written, the best tool Russia and China has is dividing us. Disinformation is a debilitating tool.
