TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK.......

MOSCOW, December 15 (RIA Novosti) - Three Northern Fleet warships will arrive in Havana on Friday for the Russian Navy's first visit to Cuba since the Cold War, a Navy spokesman said on Monday.

"This will be the first visit to Cuba by Russian warships since the Soviet days," Capt. 1st Rank Igor Dygalo said

The Admiral Chabanenko missile destroyer and two support ships will stay in Cuba until December 23.

"Cubans will have an opportunity to visit the Russian ships," he said.

Putin Wants Russia Back in Cuba; US Gen. - This Would Cross a RED LINE

I thought Putin was not leading Russia anymore and that communism was dead? I am sure that the libtards will blame Bush for this too - Restarting the Cold War that really never ended. If you haven't figured it out by now, you are not too bright or you are a disinformation agent for the World Socialist movement.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday said it was time for Russia to rebuild links with former Cold War ally Cuba, news agencies reported.

The Kremlin is angry at U.S. plans for a missile defence system in Eastern Europe, and last month a news report suggested Russia might use Cuba, a thorn in America's side for half a century, as a refueling stop for nuclear-capable bombers.

The Russian Defence Ministry denied the report and said it had no plans to open any military bases abroad, but a top U.S. general was drawn to say such a move would cross a "red line".
Moscow was the Caribbean island's key oil, arms and grain supplier for 30 years, until subsidies propping up the economy of Fidel Castro's revolutionary government fell to a trickle and then dried up entirely after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"We need to reestablish positions on Cuba and in other countries," news agency Interfax quoted Putin as saying at the weekly presidium meeting of key government ministers.
Just 144 km (90 miles) from the coast of U.S. state of Florida, Cuba still has no formal diplomatic ties with Washington D.C.

Russia Considering a Fueling Station in Cuba for their Nuclear Bombers?

The anonymous person running this blog knows his stuff about Russia. I have been reading it for several months and it is very impressive.



The conflicting messages emanating from Moscow with respect to the Kremlin's alleged plans to forward deploy strategic bombers to Cuba, Venezuela, and Algeria in response to US National Missile Defense plans in Central Europe continued yesterday with a second article published in the Russian daily Izvestia. Citing sources in the Russian Defense Ministry, which officially denies such reports, Izvestia revealed that crews of Tu-160 Blackjack and Tu-95MS Bear bombers have already visited Cuba to inspect the site and facilities of a possible forward landing airfield that could be employed as a refueling stopover.

Another Russian publication, Nezavisimaya Gazeta, refuted such revelations by insisting that the Kremlin is engaging in "saber-rattling in empty air." State-run Novosti reports that "At present the Russian military is considering the possibility of establishing so-called 'jump-up' bases in various regions of the world to provide refueling and maintenance support for the patrolling bombers." Nezavisimaya Gazeta contends, however, that "The Russian defense budget simply does not have sufficient resources to ensure the implementation of these plans."

Ret. Gen. McInerny - Russia is now an Adversary of the USA

Gen. McInerny is the only one with the guts to say what has to be said and that is that Russia is a grave threat and an enemy of the USA, Israel and Europe. The liberals in the media and high up in the U.S. Government are refusing to let the American people know this fact due to their socialist agenda. They are a big part of the Soviet deception propaganda machine to confuse the people as to who the real enemy is and to also make the American people suspicious of the US Government. These liberals are saboteurs and a danger to the National Security.

The Russians are also using radical Islam as a smoke screen so people do not see the real threat and that is WORLD COMMUNISM.

The Russian population is decreasing and so is the amount of oil that they are pumping. A terrorism expert from Stratfor Intelligence was on FOX News over six months ago and he mentioned that "Putin will make a move on the West soon, due to these factors".

It was also Gorbachev who told his party friends in 1987 "Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep."

The Soviet Cheka (KGB) still run Russia - and do so in ruthless fashion.

US general warns Russia on nuclear bombers in Cuba

We have two choices:

Hit Russia NOW with a surprise HAARP & nuke attack or wait for Russia, China and the Muslims to kill us first. Not much to choose from, but what can I say? The world is evil and the media is only concerned about Britney Spears smoking a cigarette in front of her son; like I could give a shit what that whore does. My page is brutally honest, so if you are easily offended, SORRY....

Russia would cross "a red line for the United States of America" if it were to base nuclear capable bombers in Cuba, a top US air force officer warned on Tuesday.

"If they did I think we should stand strong and indicate that is something that crosses a threshold, crosses a red line for the United States of America," said General Norton Schwartz, nominated to be the air force's chief of staff.

He was referring to a Russian news report that said the military is thinking of flying long-range bombers to Cuba on a regular basis.

It was unclear from the report whether that would involve permanent basing of nuclear bombers in Cuba, or just use of the island as a refueling stop.

In his confirmation hearing to become the air force's chief of staff, Schwartz was asked what he would recommend if Russia were to base nuclear capable bombers in Cuba.

"I would certainly offer the best military advice that we engage the Russians not to pursue that approach," he said.

Former Russian Gen. - Put Russian Bombers in Cuba Due to NATO Expansion

Ummmmmm, this could get ugly fast, but don't let it interrupt your beer, porn, shopping and Obama news orgy. I say let them do it, Russia is our friend...RIGHT LIBS?

MOSCOW, July 21 (RIA Novosti) - The possible deployment of Russian strategic bombers in Cuba may be an effective response to the placement of NATO bases near Russia's borders, a former Air Force commander said on Monday.

Russian daily Izvestia earlier on Monday cited a senior Russian military source as saying that Russian strategic bombers could be stationed again in Cuba, only 90 miles from the U.S. coast, in response to the U.S. missile shield in Europe.

"If these plans are being considered, it would be a good response to the attempts to place NATO bases near the Russian borders," Gen. of the Army Pyotr Deinekin told RIA Novosti.

YEREVAN, July 22 (RIA Novosti) - NATO expansion will not lead to greater stability in the world, the head of a post-Soviet security bloc said on Tuesday.

"We take a negative view of NATO enlargement. The problem is that new military infrastructure is being built around Collective Security Treaty Organization [CSTO] member states, primarily Russia and Belarus," Nikolai Bordyuzha, general secretary of the CSTO, told a news conference in the Armenian capital.

The CSTO is a post-Soviet security alliance which also comprises Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.

"This also applies to forward bases in Bulgaria and Romania, attempts to deploy radar stations in the Baltic region, and infrastructure in Central Asia," he said.

Bordyuzha said the expansion of NATO would not automatically bring about greater stability in the world.

"I believe there are other ways of creating collective security systems, both in Europe and globally; these options should be used," he said. He also added, without elaborating, that it was wrong "to impose NATO membership on certain states."

He conceded, however, that any sovereign state had a right to join any international organization, as long as that "strengthens global stability."

He stressed that all post-Soviet states needed stability to be able to continue their economic growth and implement social programs.

"It is this kind of stability that we are working for, including through the CSTO," Bordyuzha said.
Russia has been strengthening military ties with its allies amid growing tensions over NATO expansion and U.S. missile shield plans for Central Europe. An agreement was recently signed by Washington and Prague on deploying a U.S. radar in the Czech Republic, a move that did little to assuage Russian concerns for its national security. The missile deal has yet to be approved by the Czech parliament.
