The Bear Awakes! Putin Planning New Military Bases In Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua
RELATED STORY: Obama Fires Yet Another Commander As Purge Of Military Continues Unchecked
Obama has been relentless in his quest to slash the US Military budget, and it is now paying dividends for our enemies. As the United States has lost its foothold in Latin America, Russia, China and Iran have stepped in to fill that void. The balance of power in the world is going through a major shift right now as America begins to take a back seat.
The Hill: Away from the conflict in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is quietly seeking a foothold in Latin America, military officials warn. To the alarm of lawmakers and Pentagon officials, Putin has begun sending navy ships and long-range bombers to the region for the first time in years.
Russia’s defense minister says the country is planning bases in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, and just last week, Putin’s national security team met to discuss increasing military ties in the region.
“They’re on the march,” Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) said at a Senate hearing earlier this month. “They’re working the scenes where we can’t work. And they’re doing a pretty good job.”
Gen. James Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command said there has been a “noticeable uptick in Russian power projection and security force personnel” in Latin America.
“It has been over three decades since we last saw this type of high-profile Russian military presence,” Kelly said at the March 13 hearing.
The U.S. military says it has been forced to cut back on its engagement with military and government officials in Latin America due to budget cuts. Kelly said the U.S. military had to cancel more than 200 effective engagement activities and multi-lateral exercises in Latin America last year. With the American presence waning, officials say rivals such as Russia, China and Iran are quickly filling the void. source – The Hill

Obama’s spineless, lisping speeches only embolden Putin; he, and the rest of the world know that our president has no balls. He has made US the laughing stock of the world.
