Is that phrase the gayest thing you've ever heard used in the cut throat world of Geo Politics? "Gee, Lets reset our relationship" sounds like something some liberal open marriage counselor would utter to the 4 partner sharing spouses after they engaged a some verbal or physical fight after their last weekend open orgie session, not something you say to the resurgent Evil Empire as Vladimir, Medvedev and their KGB bloods have been flexing their muscles and rattling sabres ever since the South Osettia Georgia invasion. (and no you libs, not the primaries, this Georgia)
As a result they have the New Western bi racial metrosexual smoothie, Barry the Boob, right where they want him, offering to shelve the missile shield for "Pootie Pute's" assistance with the Mad Muslim Mullahs in Iran, a major European accomplishment that president Bush and countless others developed over a decade of hard work in exhabge for a Babushka, as truckload of Stoli and a few Russian liaisons to be named later?
What a joke..
So now Putin's takin' it up a notch after doing the Canadian flyby while Barry was schmoozing the Prime Liberals up there a few weeks ago, along with sending their beat to crap warships that barely made the trip into Venezuela also a month or so ago. Now there's talk of housing Ruskie bombers in our backyard, a Cuban missile crisis redux with Bombers?
Putin claims this is all exploratory and hypothetical talk, but I say get ready for 912 and a New Cold War America, because it's not long off at this rate with Barry the Boob reporting for duty.
Interfax: Cuba, Venezuela may host Russian bombers:
My Way News - "MOSCOW (AP) - A Russian Air Force chief said Saturday that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has offered an island as a temporary base for strategic Russian bombers, the Interfax news agency reported.
The chief of staff of Russia's long range aviation, Maj. Gen. Anatoly Zhikharev, also said Cuba could be used to base the aircraft, Interfax reported.
The Kremlin, however, said the situation was hypothetical."
"The military is speaking about technical possibilities, that's all," Alexei Pavlov, a Kremlin official, told the Associated Press. "If there will be a development of the situation, then we can comment," he said.
Zhikharev said Chavez had offered "a whole island with an airdrome, which we can use as a temporary base for strategic bombers," the agency reported. "If there is a corresponding political decision, then the use of the island ... by the Russian Air Force is possible."
Interfax reported he said earlier that Cuba has air bases with four or five runways long enough for the huge bombers and could be used to host the long-range planes.
Two Russian bombers landed in Venezuela last year in what experts said was the first Western Hemisphere touchdown of Russian military craft since the end of the Cold War.
Cuba has never permanently hosted Russian or Soviet strategic aircraft. But Soviet short-range bombers often made stopovers there during the Cold War.
Russia resumed long-range bomber patrols in 2007 after a 15-year hiatus.
Independent military analyst Alexander Golts said from a strategic point of view there was nothing for Russia to gain from basing long-range craft within relatively short range of U.S. shores.
"It has no military sense. The bombers don't need any base. This is just a retaliatory gesture," Golts said, saying Russia wanted to hit back after U.S. ships patrolled Black Sea waters.
Between the Chinese expanding their influence, Mexico's descent into chaos, and now Russian Bombers potentially being stationed in Venezuela, we've really taken our eye off the ball in Latin America.
ReplyDeleteYes Barry's got too many domestic theft balls in the air along with this dem socialist politburo lead by Chairwoman Pelosi.
ReplyDeleteThey're all so intoxicated by this unopposed generational theft they forgot about their Marxist brethren down in Fidel and Raul's fiefdom...
Maybe Russia can just station them in Laredo Texas?
