In a move that is sure to heighten tensions between Russia and the U.S., Russia announced it would send warships to Cuba December 19-23.
This is the first time since the old Soviet Union that Russian warships would be sent to Cuba.
The Russian vessels have already visited Venezuela, held military exercises in the Caribbean, and crossed through the Panama Canal--all for the first time since World War II.
It would appear that Russia is reviving its old Cold War alliances with certain Leftist regimes in the Western Hemisphere.
RINO John McCain stated during the campaign that there would not be another Cold War with Russia. Such a statement is difficult to comprehend given that Russia presently is doing everything it can to replicate its Cold War alliances and its adversarial relations with the West.

RUSSIAN NUCLEAR WARSHIPS TO VENEZUELA
Breaking news has been received at this hour that Russian nuclear warships are headed to Venezuela.
A nuclear missile cruiser is being accompanied by an anti-submarine destroyer, a reconnaissance vessel, and a support ship, according to a report issued by The Times Online in the U.K.
Venezuelan Communist dictator Hugo Chavez had announced last month that Russia would be engaging in joint military-naval exercises in the Caribbean during the month of November.
But Russia has already sent a warship to the area prior to the deployment of the present envoy of warships.

Russia Sends 2 Bomber-Jets to Venezuela
In a move that is viewed by observers as retaliation for the U.S. sending warships to Georgia to deliver humanitarian aid, 2 Russian bombers landed in Venezuela on Wednesday, according to several news sources, including Breitbart and CNN.
The bombers, Tu-160 strategic jets, are a part of 'training flights' to be conducted over neutral waters in the Caribbean over the next 2 days, according to Russian officials.
However, the landing of the bombers for the purpose of conducting military exercises in the Caribbean must be viewed within the context of Russia's continued threats against the West, the latest of which was issued Wednesday.
Russian officials stated that U.S. missile sights in Poland and the Czech Republic, which are part of the negotiated missile defense shield for the area, would be targets for nuclear attacks by Russia.
Thus, the stated nuclear threats, the landing of the Russian bombers in Venezuela yesterday, and the planned joint military exercises in November planned by Russia and Venezuela in the Caribbean, which will involve 1000 Russian soldiers and at least 4 Russian warships, are all pieces of a puzzle that together paint a dark picture of the re-emergence of the Russian menace as in the days of old during the Cold War.
As we have stated before, this MUST be nipped in the bud and VERY soon, or else the next President is facing something similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis early in John Kennedy's administration in 1961.
We must never allow Russia to gain a foothold in this hemisphere, no matter what. And we must not allow Russia to once again dominate Eastern Europe now that those nations are enjoying beloved liberty following decades of living under the heavy-handed oppression of Russian Communists.
And perhaps it is time for Hugo Chavez to be clipped at the gonads as Ronald Reagan did to Momar Qaddafi of Libya in the early 1980s.

CHAVEZ BRINGS RUSSIAN MENACE TO CARIBBEAN
The top news story of the morning is an ominous one. Hugo Chavez, the Communist dictator of Venezuela, has invited the Russian Navy to undertake a series of military exercises in the Caribbean within the next few months.
According to a report filed by Reuters News Service, several Russian naval ships and up to 1000 Russian soldiers will participate in a joint exercise with Venezuela in the Caribbean from November 10-14.
The move is expected to greatly increase tensions between Russia and the West, particularly in light of the nation's invasion of neighboring country, Georgia.
Since the invasion, several U.S. allies in Europe have expressed grave concerns about their security and have requested the U.S. nuclear defensive missile shield, as well as American warheads.
Russia's response to the request was threatening. At least twice the nation threatened to attack Poland with nuclear warheads should it proceed with plans for the missile shield.
The world community has almost unanimously condemned Russia for its actions and statements.
And with its latest effort to team up with Chavez's communist regime in the Western Hemisphere, the Russian menace continues to thumb its nose at the rest of the world and undertake a military exercise that is clearly designed to send a message to the U.S.
The U.S. is long overdue in sending a clear message right back to Putin, Chavez, and their Commie alliance. To put off sending such a signal, the U.S. and the West is only feeding a growing monster.
