Russia flies back into Cuban controversy

The warmongers are on the move, they want to increase their warmongering, so that they will have more sales for their arms.

These professional arms dealers have no international boundries and they do not care about the loss of innocent human lives, but their only interest is to increase tensions among adverseries so that an agressive political climate is created so that they can sell their arms to both sides.

Interesting...

Apparently it’s only the United States that is allowed to cross the red lines with whomever it wishes.

Who does Russia think they are? There is only room on this planet for one imperialist nation to occupy any nation it wants. Its not like the US has any military bases or missles within 90 miles of Russia.

The western media sucks

Nobody should be surpised if there is a barrage of complain from naive american kids on this issues. Their media will decide who is wrong and who is right for them.

Controversy. Na.

Doubt wheather russia can put together one long range plane. Cheap and nasty and oh yes old. rUNT pOLitics.

Comments from lefty dreck

Why threaten the US with decrepid, and outdated bombers, especially when they have so many “Red Oktober” submarines - oh, don’t all those sink into the arctic ocean? Pure postureing, nothing more. How will these bomber make it to Cuba without running out of fuel somewhere in the Atlantic? Someday - really soon - Cuba libre!

US start World War III

When I was young and naive I thought we were the best and everybody else was nuts, but now I realized the “lunatic fringe” elements in the US have gained power. They love war, employ hypocrisy and are arrogant know it alls. The US has zero credibility in the world. Everybody else in the world admires Russia’s stance against the American imperialist. The US missile defense system is a joke. It does not work and is just a way to start another Arms race to benefit the Military Industrial Complex. Truman Capote once said; if you don’t think it’s about the money, it’s about the money! Many in the world rightly consider the actions of the US as evil.

Who cares

There is no way that those relics are going to stay in the air for bomber patrols. They probably had to duct tape the wings on to make it to Cuba.

Russia is creating a grave mistake doing that and I do not believe Cuba will permit them use the Cuban air space. Cuba is change for a better country for the welfare of the Cuban people and I do not think the younger generation will permit the move of Russia.Castro generation is old and most of them are dying and the cell phone generation are smart and more amiable for peaceful island. They have experience the worst time of the old generation and they want change for better life.

And get access to cheap oil on the side..

just who are the biggest arms dealers in the world with new military bases spreading everywhere?

can"t they stand a bit of militarist economy capitalist business competition?

I read the russians have superior tanks and great fighters at half the price.

All americans have to worry about is swmall uranium tipped weapons getting into the hands of third world peoples.

More swill and propaganda from a bought mouthpiece.
Piece of what one must ask.
Anything coming from Castros mouth is lies and the state sponsored media is an extension of lies.
Try reading Animal farm Cuba is run by the pigs.

Don’t even think it...

US general warns Russia on nuclear bombers in Cuba
23 July 2008 WASHINGTON : Russia would cross “a red line for the United States of America” if it were to base nuclear capable bombers in Cuba, a top US air force officer warned on Tuesday.

]
“If they did I think we should stand strong and indicate that is something that crosses a threshold, crosses a red line for the United States of America," said General Norton Schwartz, nominated to be the air force’s chief of staff. He was referring to a Russian news report that said the military is thinking of flying long-range bombers to Cuba on a regular basis.

It was unclear from the report whether that would involve permanent basing of nuclear bombers in Cuba, or just use of the island as a refuelling stop. In his confirmation hearing to become the air force’s chief of staff, Schwartz was asked what he would recommend if Russia were to base nuclear capable bombers in Cuba.

“I would certainly offer the best military advice that we engage the Russians not to pursue that approach," he said. The newspaper Iszvestia on Monday cited an unnamed senior Russian air force official in Moscow as saying that Russia may start regular flights by long-range bombers to Cuba in response to US plans to install a missile defence system in eastern Europe.

Reflections of Fidel
EDUCATION IN CUBA

(Translated by ESTI)

IT would seem our country has the most educational problems in the world. All of the cables that reach us report the many and difficult challenges we face: a deficit of over 8,000 teachers, disrespectful and ill-mannered students, lack of training, in short: problems of all sorts.

I don’t believe, to begin with, that we’re in such bad shape. Not one developed country shares our schooling indices and the educational opportunities open to all citizens, which we maintain in spite of the unjust blockade and the shameless plundering of arms, muscles and brains Cuba endures.

The United States and other wealthy countries cannot even compare themselves to us. They do have many more automobiles, use more fuel, consume more drugs, buy more cosmetics and benefit from pillaging our countries, as they have done for centuries.

Imperialism seeks to return Cuban women to the condition of merchandise, pleasure objects and servants for the rich. They do not forgive countries for their struggle for liberation. It yearns to return to the time when black Cubans were barred from using recreational facilities. Then, many citizens lacked employment, social security and medical services.

To Martí, freedom was very dear and one had to pay the price for it or resign oneself to a life without it. That is the question all Cubans must ask themselves each day.

How feasible are the aspirations of our enemies? Only we have the answer, within each of us. In terms of education, should we not ask ourselves if our educational system employs a bureaucratic method which teaches science without conscience? I don’t believe we have regressed that much. In any event, each one of us must ask these questions to avoid having our dignity spat on. We should expect no mercy from our enemies.

There are tens of thousands of people who think, speak, act and make decisions. The measures that are adopted every day are in their hands.

Let us keep a watchful eye on our enemies and let us do exactly the opposite of what they want from us to continue being who we are.

This is an appeal to our conscience. The Revolution justifiably demands from us that we work more, that is to say, that we work! We have held our ground for 50 years. The new generations are much better educated to face the challenges; we have the right to demand from them much more. Let us not become discouraged by the news spread by our enemies, which distorts the meaning of our words and paints our self-criticisms as tragedies. The wellspring of our revolutionary ethics is inexhaustible.

MESSAGE TO NELSON MANDELA ON HIS 90TH ANNIVERSARY

GLORY to you, Nelson, who defended human dignity in the 25 years of solitary imprisonment you endured! Neither slander nor hatred could break your iron will. You held your ground and, unwittingly and unintentionally, you became a symbol of what is noblest in human nature. You shall live on in the memory of future generations, as will the Cubans who fell in defense of the freedom of their brothers in other lands of the world.


Fidel Castro Ruz
