The last time the Russians threw all their chips into Cuba it didn’t turn out that well.

He’s going for the beaches. A much needed vacation after all the shite he has to take from Putin.

Several of the cable channels have been playing Red Dawn on tv this week. Coincidence?

When will the flotilla and other Russian military dock in Venezuela? Around the same time as Medvedev’s visit?

They are flexing their muscle because W's weak dollar and outrageously high commodity prices made them wealthy.

The Ruskies are flexing their muscles because they are Communists and they take advantage of any kind of weakness.
