Venezuela Agreed To Let Russia Set Up A Bomber Outpost On This Caribbean Island: Reports
The Drive
BY JOSEPH TREVITHICK
DECEMBER 18, 2018
http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/25570/venezuela-agreed-to-let-russia-set-up-a-bomber-outpost-on-this-carribean-island-reports
“Russian media outlets are reporting that the Kremlin is planning to establish a forward outpost on the Venezuelan island of La Orchila in the Caribbean Sea and base nuclear-capable Tu-160 Blackjack bombers, two of which just wrapped up a recent deployment to the country, at the site. If true, this could help bolster the embattled regime of Venezuela’s dictatorial president Nicolás Maduro and would significantly change the strategic reality in the Western Hemisphere for the United States.”

Japan doubted our stomach for war when the hit Pearl Harbor, too. Had the carriers been in the harbor at the time and been destroyed, would the US have sued for peace?

Lets try this from a different angle.

Busting the Three Gorges Dam will resolve tensions in the South China Sea.

"The Chinese believe that 'Americans have gone soft...at the first sign of genuine trouble they will cut and run...' "

That all depends.
History is littered with countries who thought the same -- note post #7 above.
On the other hand, Americans have little enthusiasm for spilling our own blood to prop up two-bit tin-horn dictators, even when the alternatives are worse.

We like to be the good guys allied to good guys.
When you act like bad guys, it won't go well for you.

Sure will resolve our tensions. Beijing will be a glass parking lot and maybe DC in retaliation.

Do you feel lucky, punk?

Message to Chinese Admiral: The Japanese tried a similar tactic and it did not work out too well for them. Be a student of history so you don’t repeat it.

The Japanese thought that too.

Maybe his real goal is to “modernize” his Navy by having to build all new ships after the current ones get sunk.
