President Miguel Diaz-Canel of Cuba

Read somewhere him and Putin were going to discuss the possibility of having some sort of Ruskie military presence in Cuba.

“Read somewhere him and Putin were going to discuss the possibility of having some sort of Ruskie military presence in Cuba.”

Russia uses contractors to protect the host country’s leaders. They’re mostly bodyguards and Russia gets paid in whatever that country produces. Gold, oil, diamonds, or, in this case, pineapples, bananas and sugarcane.

Maintaining fighters, bombers, or a submarine base would be colossally expensive. Don’t think we have much to worry about there. At the moment, they don’t have the spare change.
