Communist Russia has Formed Alliances with Communist Cuba and Communist Venezuela

As tension over the Communist Russian occupation of Georgia continues to simmer, Moscow is quietly stirring the embers of the Cold War in another part of the world - still Communist Cuba. In August, Communist Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin and Communist Russian Security Council Secretary General Nikolai Patrushev traveled to Havana and met with Communist Cuban Dictator Raul Castro.

Recently, Russia has expressed interest in reviving both economic and military ties with its erstwhile Caribbean client state, ties that
languished after the implosion of the Soviet Union in the early 1990's.
Communist Cuba, for its part, is interested in cultivating partnerships with other regimes besides Dictator Hugo Chavez' of Communist Venezuela. While Communist Cuba has long resented what it regards as Moscow's abrupt betrayal and abandonment of the Communist Castro Regime at the end of the Cold War, every indication points to a willingness on both sides to bury the hatchet. After the 9/11 attacks in the U.S. of 2001, Communist Russia supposedly abandoned the huge Soviet-built Cuban electronic eavesdropping center at Lourdes, which was run by 1,500 Communist Russian Military and KGB / FSB Technicians, but that has not been verified. But Communist Cuba continues to monitor and jam American government and civilian signals and broadcasts - either from Lourdes or the Communist Chinese-built facility 20 miles from Havana.

"Communist Russia seeks to reassert itself as a world power, which includes a renewed presence in Latin America, while Communist Cuba wants to diversify its economic partners to reduce its dependence on Communist Venezuela," explained Dan Erikson at Inter-American Dialogue in Washington, D.C., as reported in a recent Reuters story.

Communist Russia has also signaled a willingness to re-establish a military presence in Communist Cuba, including a possible missile defense system.
Referring to Russian anger at the U.S. deal to set up a missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, Cuba expert Phil Peters at the
Lexington Institute in Virginia told Jeff Franks of Reuters, "Russia is clearly irritated at what it perceives as U.S. meddling in its neighborhood. It seems to be sending a message that if you play on our periphery, we'll play in yours."

Some U.S. analysts were doubtful Communist Cuba would rebuild its military alliance with Communist Russia. "It's impossible to imagine that anyone in the Cuban leadership would want to put their country in the bull's eye of another superpower showdown reminiscent of the missile crisis," Brian Latell, a former CIA analyst, told Jeff Franks.

The Putin / Medvedev government, however, is offering a very different take. Following the Sechin and Patrushev visit to Havana, the Communist Russian Security Council said in a statement that the two countries had agreed to work "to restore traditional relations in all areas of cooperation."

Communist Russia has also formed a financial and military relationship with Communist Dictator Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

Communist Venezuela has formed alliances with Left Wing Presidents of the following countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

Communism is spreading more quickly than anticipated. They now have the money to do it with. While the United States was at a War in Iraq, Venezuela was raising the price of oil worldwide to accelerate its profit margin from its sales of oil to the U.S. and therefor increasing its buying power for military weapons and spread its communist influence throughout the region.

The United States is also a target for a political take-over with the upcoming Presidential Election. Just like it was done with the other countries.

Also, we have noticed that the media in the U.S. is being manipulated by the Communist. A lot of criticism of the current democratically elected President and now of the Republican Presidential Candidate.

Not much criticism of the Democratic Presidential Candidate. We have noticed that international Communist and Terrorist are in favor of this candidate.

Ask yourself, Why? Does the Democratic Presidential Candidate have connections in the Socialist World? Maybe you can provide us with the answer when you send us your comments. Expect to see some comments from Communist iReporters.

It is time that the U.S. population begin observing what is happening outside their borders. It is time to question as to which Presidential Candidate will defend the U.S. from Foreign and Domestic Communists.

Now is not the time for change. The U.S. has been doing fine for the last 232 years. It has its flaws, but it continues to be the best system worldwide. Those who promise change are your Communist Candidates. All the candidates from the other countries promised changes and thats how they managed to get elected.

You need a U.S. Presidential Candidate that will protect the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Congress from any changes. To not permit a controlling Centralized Government, and defend the U.S. from any Foreign or Domestic Enemies.

Also, now is not the time to panic with the stock market. For every seller there is a buyer waiting for the stock prices to drop. At this time the buyer with money is the Communist Dictator Hugo Chavez. He initially purchases private oil stocks and later he takes over by changing laws within the country. He has people from all levels working for him in making management changes within the oil companies and then begin to control or limit its production.

Just observe what is happening in Bolivia. The country is divided into two groups (Communist and Pro-Democracy).
Communist Dictator Hugo Chavez continues to send Cuban and Venezuelan Military to Bolivia disguised as Medical Doctors and other Professions. This is just creating more unemployment for the local population and forcing them to depend on the centralized government.
Pro-Democracy Leaders continue to defend their Constitution and Rights to Freedom.
