Russia Offers Increased Military Aid to Cuba

With American encroachments on the periphery of Russia (Georgia, former Bloc countries now in NATO, U.S. anti-missile system to be deployed in Czech republic/Poland) Putin is increasing Russia’s presence in Cuba and Venezuela as a counter punch to America. Although the new military aid to Cuba is pretty insignificant, the answer from America should be to cut Russia off at the knees and turn Cuba into a friend and ally of America. With the medical retirement of Fidel Castro, it’s prime time for the US to drop the Cuban embargo, extend relations and begin trade and investment in Cuba. This, in a short time will totally negate any Russian influence in Cuba, and lead to regime change in Cuba making it soon a friend and ally- which is what most Cuban desire.
