On January 13, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said: In view of NATO's non-abandonment of eastward expansion and its preparations for Russia's demand for security and security issues such as NATO's non-eastward expansion, Russia refuses to give up the possibility of military deployment in Cuba and Venezuela. Once that becomes a reality, it will pose a huge threat to U.S. security.
The United States and Russia did not negotiate
This time the United States is really anxious, and U.S. National Security Adviser Sullivan, after receiving the news, immediately stated: "If Russia moves in this direction, we will deal with it decisively." "Shouting: Russian aircraft and ships are not allowed to approach Latin America, this is not an empty word, the United States really does not allow Russia to touch the backyard of the United States - has always regarded Latin America as its own backyard, of which the Caribbean region is the most important, which is at the gate of the United States, of which, from Cuba to the United States mainland is only more than 200 kilometers. If Russian troops are deployed in Cuba, then the United States will be directly threatened.
The U.S. military has become more frequent in the Caribbean
According to Russian reports and navigation monitoring websites, the density of US reconnaissance aircraft patrols in Latin America has increased significantly in recent days. RC-135, P-8 and other aircraft took turns on duty to ensure that there were reconnaissance aircraft patrolling 24 hours a day, which was obviously in preparation for possible Russian transport aircraft or large maritime transport ships.
Sullivan's statement was quick
If you talk about this matter, you may be able to mention an old history, the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, a major event that made the United States like a fish in the throat! After Cuba fell out with the United States, the former Soviet Union took the opportunity to intervene in Cuba and began to station troops in Cuba, and related activities made the United States feel threatened, and what was even more frightening was that in 1962, the US reconnaissance plane discovered that the former Soviet Union was establishing an export position for medium-range ballistic missile launches in Cuba. Prior to this, due to the distance, the former Soviet Union could not threaten the United States with medium-range ballistic missiles, but with Cuba as a base, everything changed!
At that time, no one expected that the United States had issued a blockade order against Cuba in order to eliminate the threat, and that the entire US-Soviet relationship would enter a state of imminent war. Everyone thinks that it was the cold war period, the period when the two sides were closest to fighting a nuclear war. In the end, the contradiction was resolved by making concessions from each side, with the former Soviet Union promising to withdraw nuclear missiles from Cuba and the United States promising not to invade Cuba.
U.S.-Russia relations are complex
Although the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved peacefully, its impact was far-reaching. After the end of the Cold War, Russia began to reduce its military presence in Cuba until 2000, when it was completely closed. Today, the United States remains hostile to Cuba, making Cuba very desperate for Russian protection. If Russia wants to station troops in Cuba there is no problem at all. The return of Russian troops to Cuba alone will make the United States quite embarrassed, and if offensive weapons are deployed, then the United States will be even more uncomfortable.
At present, the United States has a bitter word in the face of this situation, which is obviously very uncomfortable, and the United States has no way to say it clearly, and it is even more in a state of helplessness. According to the agreement reached between the two sides during the Cold War, the United States promised not to carry out a military invasion of Cuba, which is also the key to the United States' somewhat helpless operation against Cuba.
During the Cuba crisis, U.S. forces monitored cargo ships
In response to the situation that Russia may be able to return to Cuba, the United States can only strengthen surveillance and send reconnaissance planes to monitor the backyard for 24 hours, but unfortunately, in the current situation, the United States is unable to stop the regular deployment of US and Russian troops. Russia has only pledged not to deploy nuclear weapons in Cuba, not to say that it will not deploy conventional weapons. Due to the advancement of military technology, modern conventional equipment is a greater threat to the US military than ever before, which the United States is unwilling to accept.
Russia may not only return to Cuba, but also enter Venezuela, which is equivalent to doing things in the backyard of the United States, which is equivalent to shaking the control of the United States over Latin America, an unprecedented situation, and perhaps the situation of the United States in Latin America will get worse and worse!
What will be the result of the Russian military putting missiles in Cuba?
What is more troublesome is that the United States only stares at the activities of the Russian army in Latin America, and it must mention that there is a "secret fleet" under the waterproof, and due to the improvement of military technology, the Russian army has a very powerful underwater force. Performing conventional combat tasks is not nothing, now you can engage in special operations, the development of special submarines, this is a bit invincible, can do too many things, the United States wants to prevent almost do not know what to do!
The United States seems to be aggressive to Russia, but in fact, there are many headaches, Russia is not completely passively beaten, the United States must also be careful!
