DÉJÀ VU ALL OVER AGAIN: RUSSIAN NUKES IN CUBA!
Published in July 23rd, 2008
For the kidlets out there and for the adults who tend to forget and/or prefer to ignore history’s uglies, this is not unprecedented. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080722180457.q0jlf4en&show_article=1. The Russians are “thinking” of basing long-range, nuclear-capable bombers in Cuba. (”Why?” would be a good question since Cuba is just a 90 mile raft trip away.)
In October, 1962, the “Cuban Missile Crisis” had many Americans flocking to churches, building air raid shelters, and generally believing that Armageddon was at hand.
The U.S.S.R. had surreptitiously built nuclear missile bases in Fidel Land and our U2 spy planes caught them with their pants down. Russian Premier Nikita Khruschev, the dolt in power at the time, had already seen the mettle of our 35th president when, acting under the advice of Adlai Stevenson, Kennedy had denied air support for the Cuban patriots at the Bay of Pigs, thereby dooming their effort to free their nation from the murderous Communist, Fidel Castro, and resulting in their slaughter. (Fidel is still there, by the way, ruling in absentia and non compos mentis with Raoul almost half a century later.)
Barely 18 months later, Nikita tested the American leader, and Adlai found the gonads to stand up to the Russkies and issued his famous challenge in the United Nations and declare he was prepared to wait until Hell froze over for the Russian response. It never came, at least not an honest response.
What did happen was Russia’s “removal” of those missiles from Cuba, covered in tarps which could have concealed spoiled Havana Club rum for all we know; Cuban patriots said the missiles were carted off to various caves on the island.
In any event,...

The confrontation with Russia is another pressing reason why to vote for John McCain. He is realizing the Russian threat like no one else and he has already outlined his plans for isolating Russia.
So Poutine wants to resurrect the Cold War again, eh?
That’s fine...does this mean Mutual Assured Destruction’ is back on the table?
On every hostile nation’s weapons are Russian fingerprints
This is IT! Bush won’t back down like JFK did. He’s a Real Man, not an elitist aristocrat like Kennedy. Putin will back down, or he’ll be radioactive dust, and No quid pro quo this time!
Cuba could be the first glass island in the history of mankind.
I seriously think Putin is suffering from delusions caused by late-stage syphillis, making him think he is living in his KGB days. Seriously. Nothing else could explain this level of insanity.
Oh, that’s right, the Obamanation might become President, which means he could actually LAUNCH nukes from Cuba and America would do jack squat except call for more “empathy.” Maybe he isn’t the insane one, maybe the American voters are...
“This is IT! Bush won’t back down like JFK did. He’s a Real Man, not an elitist aristocrat like Kennedy. Putin will back down, or he’ll be radioactive dust, and No quid pro quo this time!”
I agree, except Putin won’t push the issue until the dumbed-down American populace puts that empty suit Obama into office. This may actually be the culmination of the USSR Communist Party’s intentional infiltration of our education and media organizations to dumb us down to the point we self-destruct. Thanks, NEA scum and MSM scum. The only pleasure I will take is that you will die screaming first, which is the fate of “useful idiots” of communism throughout history...
