Russia plays a significant role in end times Bible Prophesy. Ezekiel 38-39 predict that Russia will lead a coalition of nations against Israel including; Iran, Turkey, Transcaucus Nations, and North Africa. Note that the coalition is missing many of the old Soviet Allies like Cuba, Eastern Europe, North Korea, etc.

That was my first thought. No Russian missiles in Cuber, eh?

I was in the Bay Of Florida salvaging a U2 plane that Castro shot down when it was announced that JFK had been shot dead.

Shaky times then....

No, that is an excuse to cover for Hussein’s hatred of America..

The Communist regime in Cuba desperately needed a bailout because of the collapse of oil prices. Venezuela can not subsidize them any longer, so Obama drops everything to run to the regimes rescue.

They will try to line their pockets as best as they can from the situation, but the reason it was done, and the reason it was done now, was to maintain an ideological ally.

Like all good tyrant wannabes, Obama sees himself as the new Stalin. And he wants to create a new Soviet Union. An improved Soviet Union. A gay Soviet Union. That is why he sees Cuba, North Korea and Iran as allies. The Russians of course do not want that and would prefer to be the New Soviet Union themselves. A straight Soviet Union.

Missing in much of the national conversation is how this White House maneuver checks Russia’s growing influence in Cuba, where Moscow, in Cold War fashion, has been flexing its military and economic muscles just 90 miles from the US coast in an overt challenge to our national security.

Law of Unintended Consequences. Obozo will find a way to let Moscow have its way.

This has nothing to do with Obama geo-strategery. He doesn’t think that way. This is just another item ticked off the Frank Marshall Davis bucket list he’s working through to try to gain approval from the only Daddy figure in hs life who didn’t reject him.

Obama wants to go to Cuba so he can Bow and Worship Fidel in Person

It is completely plausible, as a counter to potential Russian moves.

Back in July, it was reported that the Russians were negotiating with Cuba for basing rights, for a naval maintenance and supply center, as well as airfield basing rights.

They are also talking to Vietnam about a partial reopening of the Cam Ranh base, and to the Seychelles about basing rights in the Indiana Ocean.
