Russia Wants to Regain Position in Cuba

Vladamir Putin was quoted on Interfax that he feels that Russia should regain its position of influence in Cuba. Does this mean that Russia is considering a military presence in Cuba? We are not sure at this point.

Russia's Vice Premier, Igor Sechin, did have a meeting with Cuba's leadership recently and they did discuss possible cooperatives between the two countries.

Here's an quote we should consider as quoted in an Associated Press article about the subject: "It is not a secret that the West is creating a 'buffer zone' around Russia, involving countries in central Europe, the Caucasus, the Baltic states and Ukraine," the agency quoted Leonid Ivashov, the head of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, as saying. "In response, we may expand our military presence abroad, including in Cuba."

"We may expand our military presence abroad, including in Cuba."

Think about that for a moment. ......................................................................................................
