Latin America, long considered off-limits for Russian military outposts because of its proximity to Washington, is rapidly becoming the latest region targeted for Moscow’s expanding reach.
As the Kremlin was secretly planning its invasion of Ukraine in late February, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced Moscow’s plan to establish a permanent military presence in Latin America, including naval visits to ports in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.
Russia is also asking those countries to allow long-range bombers to refuel at their air bases.

Our economic strong arm isn’t nearly as strong as it used to be because we expended it on non-vital interests on the far away from our homeland. As the old saying goes, if you try to defend everything you end up defending nothing.
Well I am glad you said so. It was otherwise in doubt if you a Joe Kennedy type of guy.
We have ignored Mexico and S. America for too long.
Paulbots don’t like to be outed as the useful idiots of the sweet murdeous KGB thug Putin.
These are the same Appeaser /Useful idiots who let Hitler take over the Czech republic and Austria .
They use the same excuses, there all Russian anyways (aka Sudenland- there all German anyway) or its none of our business or they had it coming .
With These brain trusts we could be living the real “Red Dawn” remake.
That poster does have the Joe Kennedy appreaser talking points ready to be fired off.
He is so busy here he appears to be a paid Putin poster?
When you telegraph to the world that you are cutting your military, this is what happens.
Stop trying to post those same graphics over and over again.
Thanks.
And you globalists need to explain how you're going to force countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua to not allow Russian planes to land if they choose to let them. Both those countries were anti-American before Obama was elected.
You think the other world baddies like Putin just aren’t as smart as you? Gee why do they think THEY want to be in places so far from home? The issue isn’t Nicaragua, it’s Russians and Chinese in Nicaragua.
So how you going to stop them?
Which have been soooo successful.
Yeah, and we had to fly around France so we wouldn't fly over the graves of our American dead that liberated them from the nonsense we are seeing here.
Venezuela hasn't been our friend since Clinton was in office. Nicaragua since before Reagan. Oy.
Are you kidding?
No.
Google Cold War and who won it.
Hell no. That traitorous scumbag?
Why did you put a question mark after scumbag? Aren't you confident that he supported the Nazis?
We won the war, but lost the peace.
In relative terms, we are at peace because of past sacrifices. People died for me and you. Christ died for me and you.
