Russian elites are warning of a replay of the Cuban missile crisis
Bangor Daily News ^ | 7/11/22 | Gwynne Dyer

It was a piece of news so obscure and implausible that I missed it when it first surfaced last month. The news was that the Russians are going to put hypersonic nuclear missiles into Nicaragua and terrify the Americans into backing down over Ukraine. Or kill them all if they don’t.

“If American missile systems can nearly reach Moscow from Ukrainian territory, it’s time for Russia to roll out something powerful closer to the American ‘city on a hill,’” Olga Skabeyeva said on the news show on “Rossiya-1,” the most popular Russian TV channel.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega published a decree last month authorizing small numbers of troops from Russia, the United States or other Central American countries to deploy to his country for a limited time “for purposes of training, law enforcement or emergency response.”

As Nato and outside millitary continue to go into Ukraine poking the bear harder they can expect unfavorable responses from Russia. This isn’t going to end well for anyone.

It appears the gander is being introduced to the goose. The Russians have the same right to butt into Western Hemisphere affairs that don’t concern them as we have getting involved in Eastern European wars that don’t concern us.

Russian projection of power is a missile launcher in Nicaragua? That would take about five minutes to knock out.

The Russians are just so pathetic these days.

I doubt those in Ukraine laying in the streets dead would say so.

With Russian targeting systems, Canada and Mexico better be worried.

For the first time, Russia, Iran and China will carry out military maneuvers in Venezuela

For the first time in the history of Latin America, the military forces of Russia, Iran and China joint military exercises with Venezuela in August to participate in armed exercises called the “Sniper Frontier” (elite commandos), according to specialized publications.

The information was given by the Center for a Secure Free Society (SFS), based on statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The joint operation in which about 10 countries will participate in totall, is “a strategic movement that seeks to preposition military assets deployed in Latin America and the Caribbean,” said the Center for a Secure Free Society (SFS).

The text cites recent statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who assured that in Washington “they have not realized that powerful new centers have emerged and they are getting stronger and stronger.”

“A year and a half ago, speaking at the Davos forum, I once again emphasized that the era of the unipolar world order is over. Despite all attempts to save it, to preserve it by all possible means. When they won the Cold War, the US declared itself God’s own representatives on earth, people who have no responsibilities, only interests,” Putin said last June from St. Petersburg.

According to the SFS, the VRIC nations are preparing to make a strong statement that the region is ready to embrace the “multipolar” forcewith which they intend to confront the West.

The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, announced a month ago that will allow the installation of Russian military bases in the Central American country.

The joint military exercises where the skills of the participants in the handling of weapons are measured at different stages seek “a new attempt by the Nicolás Maduro regime for closer ties with eastern allies and challenging the United States”.

How many of our Virginia-class submarines could target various targets in Russia in minutes if and when ordered.

That doesn’t include our subs with ICBMs aimed at Russian at this moment.

That is Deterrence with a capital D!

Ortega - hasn’t he hit the expiration date yet?

Born: November 11, 1945 (age 76 years), La Libertad, Nicaragua

He is probably well past his use by date.

Sounds like a good opportunity to bribe someone :) there are lots of folks from Nicaragua here, and nobody is going to want to kill their aunts, uncles, and cousins.
