Russian leader Medvedev heading to Cuba, Venezuela

MOSCOW – Russian President Dmitry Medvedev plans to travel this month to Cuba and Venezuela, which have increasing military and trade ties with Moscow.

The U.S. has objected to Russia's greater links with the two countries that have antagonistic relations with Washington.

Medvedev will visit Cuba on Nov. 27, the Kremlin press service said. He will also visit Brazil during the trip.

The Soviet Union was a stalwart supporter of Cuban leader Fidel Castro during the Cold War. Under Hugo Chavez, Venezuela has moved to buy millions of dollars in Russian weaponry and invited Russian energy giants to drill in the country's oil fields.

A Russian naval flotilla is on its way to the Caribbean to hold joint military exercises with Venezuelan forces.

I wonder if Obama, in his promise to get those terrorists out of Gitmo, if he would be so rash to remove the Naval Base from Cuba completely. Cuban Missle Crisis, Part II?

Sure he will. When the "generated crisis" occurs he will have a free pass to total tyranny.

BibleNuggetLady....That's an infuriating angle on our Cuba "forward" base that hadn't occured to me.

You're always thinking things thru....:hat

Oh my! This is very scary and the thought of the Russian President in Cuba on Thanksgiving is not very comforting, either! :fear

So am I the only one who has thoughts of all our enemies aligning themselves together with the eventually intent on a full out attack on the US....what a better time to contemplate attacking us as our economy is weak/busted and we have the equivilent of a political junior higher as our new leader. If Russia and China aligned with South America and many in the Middle East (all the have to do is cut off our oil) decided to come against the US where would we be ? I personally don't think the US will be on the sidelines as a nation because of our leftist political stance (or because of the Rapture) I think its because we have been attacked and defeated as a nation. Just my 2 cents.

Indeed. Not to mention the Islamic terrorist networks that are setup in Columbia, Venenzuela, and just south of our border in Mexico. Oh, and don't forget Islamic ties in Canada. Between the networks and rogue countries, we can very well be attacked on multiple fronts.

I think if Russia and China wanted to really take us out, they could do it without a shot fired, could they not? Economically, China holding all our notes?

The potential strikes on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts would seem "overkill", but probably worth it to them. Would the world cry foul?
