US Should Fill the Vacuum Before Our Old Nemesis
Power vacuums; why are they always filled by worst element? Take the aftermath of the Iraq War, we were unprepared for governing and Al Qaida filled the Sunni vacuum and the Iranian financed Muqtada al-Sadr filled the Shia vacuum. It took lots of blood, treasure and time to get us back on track.
And Vladimir Putin is no dummy, he sees the new opportunities in Cuba, so he’s moving a group of warships to visit his old pals:
A group of Russian warships will from December 19-23 visit the Communist island of Cuba, a long-time adversary of the United States and Moscow’s ally in the Cold War, the Russian navy said on Monday.
“This will be the first visit to Cuba by Russian warships since the Soviet era,” the Russian naval headquarters said in a statement.
The destroyer Admiral Chabanenko and two other ships will visit Havana in what the navy described as a “significant practical step towards strengthening and developing ties between the two states’ navies.”
