Not sure if you have been watching lately but Russia is making very friendly relations with Venezuela and Cuba. Indeed, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez has also been meddling in the elections of Argentina, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and already has Evo Morales of Bolivia in his hip pocket.

Russia made a statement the other day that it would base Russian Bombers in Cuba, and Venezuela; previously it had tried to set up aircraft maintenance contracts in Mexico for Cargo Aircraft, Airliners, and other large aircraft. Mexico during the last election nearly was turned over to an extremely left leaning communist, but he lost the election by less than six tenths of one percentile.

With Mexico in a virtual economic freefall and its drug war torn national conflicts spilling over into the US, it is quite possible that we will soon have a third world communist nation next door and the other nations below them could fall to communist governments too; all the way down to Panama. Perhaps this might wake Americans up to the atrocities that befall Russian style communism; a little history repeat if you will.

Speaking of history repeating and communism, what say you about Cuba putting bombers in Cuba that would be within 90 miles of the US Coastline? With frequent flights and training exercises within 45 miles and at altitudes that would make launching nuclear weapons into the US almost unstoppable in time; well, without a massive defense shield being put in place.

Recently, the Obama Administration has told the Russians in a so-called secret letter (probably released to the media for PR sake) that if they Russians help us prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons then we would forgo the missile defense shield concept in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, this is like turning our backs on our NATO, or soon to be NATO Eastern European allies.

Further, rather than offering a conciliatory gesture in return the Russians said "we appreciate that and hope to work with Obama." This is a rather interesting PR move by Russia, as NATO is crumbling, but in pure Russian Communist negotiation, they took and will now ask for more. How so you ask; by upping the stakes in Cuba, and when oil prices return they will up the stakes along with other nations over the oil in the far North.

In fact, Russia has already made some highly charged political comments that Alaska should be returned to Russia. What's worse is that the Obama Administration is playing into their hands and thinks that if we are "oh so nice and sweet to communists" that we can all get along. That's just nonsense.

Now with Russia discussing bombers in Cuba, it has gotten another "free" bargaining chip and it can do one of two things. Use it to allow Obama to look like a hero in a JFK move to tell them to leave, giving the Russians even more grip on Obama by making him popular with the American People; or Russia can use this maneuver to get the US Military to retreat from other parts of the world and defend America's homeland, which will take up all our money and resources.

Worse, Russia may be reliving the past and considering trying a different option this time with a "Cuban Bomber Crisis" and thus, things could escalate out of control, especially with a naïve Obama President calling the shots. In case anyone had not noticed Russia, China and many other nations have had leaders at Davos and other economic conferences paint the US as evil, and they are questioning capitalism. Unfortunately, they have their audience and that group is growing in the World Media.

Will Cuba be the bargaining chip that got away from Obama? Well, either way, communism is coming and it's on the march, slowly working its way into every corner of the Planet. The problem for America's 300 million "Free" people is that they are all too aware of what communism is and how it works in practice, even if the theory sounds nice. You see many people have come here from elsewhere and had families that have fled communism, ask one sometime what they think of communism.

Maybe you might take a few days and do a little studying of communist nations around the world and ask yourself would you truly wish to live there. Why not pick up some literature from Russian writers and compare what we have here in the US and the lifestyle in communist countries, I am sure you'll see it. We need not run the same plays out of history over and over again, with slightly different players. Please think on this, pay attention and wake-up, this isn't a board game, and there is risk.
