Actually I am more concerned with China's strategic Silk Roads project and the canal they are planning on building thru Nicaragua that will be bigger and better that the Panama Canal. That will be their beach head for growing influence in our affairs and alliances here in our southern sphere.
I'll speak on behalf of those of us on the forum who think we have all the answers. We can't talk shit at family gatherings or in public or at a party without bringing down the vibe and creating real confrontations. So we can do it here, air out our differences, have a few shits and giggles, and then find some solace in the ocean. Thank you for your service to keep our freedom to have FreeDumb. Peace and waves sir.
B, c'mon mang, you really believe Vlad the Impaler is staking his chips on Maduro & VZ? Nah. VZ is about to become a pawn in the superpower shuffle game. Oil is the price. Well, along with those VZ stunners Eventually, soon, VZ will be the next stop on the world sex tourism circuit. It's what socialism does: turns thriving economies into cum buckets for gringos.
First order of business - we liberate North Korea - I've heard there are some epic point breaks there...Charlie don't surf!
Yeah, you could be right. But I don't think you are. But I am not ready to take chances with giving them a foothold into South America. If one has ever lived in a Latin American country (South or Central America, or Caribbean Islands), you realize how easy it is to influence the population there). Russia is your enemy- they always will be. We should evict them from their ambassadorial residences in USA and send them home. Permanently. I also think we should shut down the United Nations and send them all home. Forever. Put a "For Rent" sign on the building. Let all the other nations go to Moscow for their national spy club. I would bet none or few would go to Russia if United Nations would locate there. The Russians would NOT pay for it, as we do.
Russia already is putting troops and equipment there--that is what was in those planes. Putins goal is to bring back USSR, and what better way than to have a victory in USA backyard?? And that while we are kept focused by socialist news media on to items such as collusion, Stormy, Smollet?? Remember Crimea, and Ukraine. Wake up, brothers, before it is too late.
Russians are chess players which means they play the long strategic game. We have the attention span of gnats to that plays to them. Infiltrate Higher Education to preach socialist ideals which in turns out lower level educators and journalists who pass that on. Couple that with a co-opted agent as President (Obama), the Clintons, and many Dems in Congress then sit back and wait til the time is ripe for socialism here. Hell, they wont even have to invade. They will control us from the top.
You make some good points, Barry. And from what I've seen, you're never wrong. Cuba has been a Russian satellite since 1961, and I could get there in an hour or 2 by launching a pool noodle from Key West. has Cuba ever really been a "threat"? Because all I've ever witnessed was poor education, poor infrastructure, a banana boat economy, and a dictator for life. Hey, kinda sounds like the current version of Venezuela lol you're probably right. I just believe at some point in time, we need to stop playing World Police and start doing a better job of policing ourselves.
Cuba has no oil fields. Russians have no real interest in it other than it being another listening station. Venezuela has amongst, if not "the" richest oil fields in the world, certainly in our hemisphere. And it is a very high grade oil, not the pee produced in Russia. That makes it way different. Putin has not been around since 1961. As a reminder, he wants to restore USSR and will try to do so at USA cost. I don't think we should help him in any way whatsoever. Allowing Russia to set up a military presence and take command of the oil fields is tacit consent to our demise.
They have none here. A port with oil for cruisers and their one aircraft carrier is on their wish list.
