Let Russia Play the Imperialist Power

Russia is considering bases in Cuba and Venezuela (and Brazil? Dream on!).

Let them build. They can then spend the next 20 years bankrupting themselves yet again while simultaneously rattling very rusty sabers.

One of Bookworm's readers chimes in:

I would hope that the Obama administration would generally shrug at the notion of Russia basing a few outdated bombers (that’s all they have) in Cuba or Venezuela.

Just keep quiet and let them go ahead, because if they do it provides an opportunity. Once the bombers are in place, Obama should take note of this provocation and announce that he is proceeding with the anti-missile defense installations in Poland and the Czech Republic. Quid pro quo.

Like that will happen.

Thanks to Kim.
