The US and NATO reacted to the possible appearance of Russian missiles in Cuba

January 14 2022 20

After talks between Russia and NATO, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov did not rule out the appearance of Russian military bases in Cuba and other Latin American countries. The West reacted extremely negatively to such a passage.

If Russia moves in this direction, we will deal with this decisively.

- said Joseph Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan during a briefing on Thursday 13 January.

In the opinion of the chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Robert Bauer, although Cuba and Venezuela are far from Europe, the deployment of Russian missiles there could greatly disturb a number of allies of the Western bloc.

Meanwhile, earlier the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance Jens Stoltenberg noted the unacceptability of Russia's vetoing the entry into NATO of Ukraine, Georgia and other former Soviet republics. In his opinion, countries are free to determine their own international agenda and make decisions on joining the military bloc.

At the same time, NATO continues to deploy weapons in Eastern European countries and strengthens its contingents there. The West blames Russia for the very possibility of deploying military bases in Latin America. There are double standards.

Well, then, with your allies, we are decisively where the MK-41 installations are.

  What double standards - the usual banal schizophrenia and what negotiations with patients can be.

The countries of Latin America have the right to join the CSTO and the SCO. Democracy!

The United States should not threaten Russia with the use of military force against it, because it is Russia that is the only country that can instantly wipe the United States and its satellites off the face of the earth!!!

The deployment of missiles in Cuba and Latin America is a long-term threat that the US can easily thwart. Let it take its course..
The time scale has changed. We need to start acting right now, and with what is available

Everything is exactly that ... but it is very doubtful that it is very difficult to direct little Iskanders and not only with nuclear weapons to secretly deliver anywhere.

  We need rockets. We need military units. A supporting technical infrastructure is needed. We need security and material support. Like in Syria.
  First of all, the readiness of the receiving party and legal agreements with it, the execution and ratification of documents are necessary.
  At any stage, the States will put spokes in the wheels.
  Then - why?
  I doubt that this will give tangible strategic advantages.
  You need to get close enough to their decision-making centers on the use of strategic nuclear weapons, and these are several well-defined geographical points with a small radius around them. This is if they have this decision, like ours, is made centrally.
  It is possible that in exceptional cases the commanders of strategic assets themselves have such a right.
  If decapitation in this way is impossible, the whole idea loses its meaning. All that remains is a scarecrow for the American layman.
  Our main advantage was "blinded" by the Americans themselves.
  We are cornered by them and ready for anything. At any flying time

    Both the Russian Federation and the United States have a "dead hand" system. Even if the leadership of the country and the strategic nuclear forces are disabled, these nuclear forces will still respond.

  Well, what are his options? In principle, the last time was zero, we do not accommodate there, you clean in Turkey. Now it's more difficult. And missiles no longer require close basing. In principle, there is enough MTO point in Cuba and Venezuela - there are simple boats like 636 - ordinary for a pair of diesel engines, they have 6-8 Calibers with nuclear warheads, this is more than enough to start a substantive conversation.

The United States, demanding that the EU impose sanctions against Russia, even if Russia is trying to politically destabilize Ukraine, is preparing the ground for the very provocation that they now have no opportunity to carry out. Today they said that Russia has some kind of hybrid attack plan.
Apparently, the US is preparing forces in Ukraine that will operate in the territory under their control, perhaps attacking government buildings on behalf of "pro-Russian" forces or something like that. Then they blame Russia. But then again, even if they now have more options to provoke a scenario for imposing sanctions, things can go wrong. European intelligence services are also in place and such a setup from the United States is unlikely to be swallowed up. In addition, it is also not easy to implement this on the spot (on a scale). The only thing that worries is the fact that after the talks everyone is waiting for the Russian reaction to the western NO. And here, under this expectation, anything can be slipped.

pin dos from this reality will be put in their pants, the main thing is that the Cubans agree to place mobile installations with medium missiles, though they still need to be developed and done)

I don’t think that we will directly start building missile bases in Venezuela or Cuba as part of the military-technical response. Too expected and predictable. Although, of course, this option cannot be discounted. But it won't be the main answer. But what the GDP will come up with, who knows ...

For some reason, everyone forgets that Russia has Caliber missiles in a container version. Maybe they are already standing there, in private areas in Cuba, Venezuela, or somewhere else, under covert guards, inconspicuous-looking standard 20-foot containers. Or maybe a container ship runs along the coast of the United States with such containers under the symbolic protection of a frigate.

The barbarians of the United States do not hear us, but we do not hear them, we are doing our job. Soon Ukrainian terrorists will run after an American plane in Ukraine as in Afghanistan.

The threat the US has already built up on our borders and the few pinpoint threats we can quickly create against them are two very different things.
It gave, after all, not in a loud propaganda fact, but in real combat effectiveness. This is what will determine whether they will pay attention to the threat, or again lose respect for our actions.
If we now get involved with him in creating military-technical threats to each other, then the Pentagon and their military-industrial complex will enthusiastically take part in this race. The world will quickly come to a complete depreciation of the state of the world, and the side that lost the race will only have to start a war. There will be no other way for the world.
We need to use our FULLY MOST POWERFUL arguments NOW. These arguments are our nuclear forces in the hands of a country that has already declared that it was pressed against the wall

Cuba, you say, - Cuba has not been the same for a long time, it was a conditional nod under the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, now only everyone is for the "dinero", well, then the next neighbor will pull. A rare family who do not have relatives in Florida, just Cubans with their Latin trunks are not able to lift their ass strongly and inhale the remnants of castrovism, then they ride variations of Haitian freedom, just waiting to be wrapped in a beautiful piece of paper and without pain in the ass. Venezuela is even ridiculous to discuss. But the most important thing: who is seriously ready in the Russian Federation to bomb their villas and apartments in the ominous overseas region or the EU, in order to buy investment passports for 500 kilos? The priority for jackets has not changed in any way: to shave as much as possible and live on Mars (at worst, in the EU).
