Is a new Cuban Missile Crisis brewing over Ukraine? By Steven Sahiounie

Unfortunately, Joe Biden is no John Kennedy. From Steven Sahiounie at strategic-culture.su:

The U.S. will be involved with negotiating with the Russians to bring peace to Ukraine, as did Kennedy in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

On June 12, three Russian ships and a nuclear-powered submarine arrived in Havana, Cuba. Having crossed the Atlantic, the ships performed maneuvers designed to enhance military capability, and have remained in Cuba through June 17.

Recently, President Vladimir Putin made a threat to supply unspecified countries with weapons capable of striking Kiev’s Western allies.

The Kazan nuclear-powered submarine is capable of firing Kalibr cruise missiles, which have a range of up to 2,500 kilometers and can be equipped with nuclear warheads. Along for the ride are the Frigate Admiral Gorshkov, which is carrying new hypersonic Zircon missiles that are nuclear-capable, the Akademik Pashin refueling tanker, and Nikolay Chiker tugboat.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has portrayed Zircon as a potent weapon capable of penetrating any existing antimissile defenses by flying nine times faster than the speed of sound at a range of more than 1,000km (more than 620 miles).

While the visit to Cuba is not seen as a military threat to the U.S., and none of the vessels carry a nuclear war-head, it has brought back memories of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis involving the U.S. and Russia in Cuba.

Cuba is Russia’s most important partner in the Western Hemisphere from a geopolitical point of view, and both are critical of the U.S. sanctions imposed on each other, and the enlargement of NATO. Havana also backed Russia’s right to “self-defense” against NATO following its 2022 military operation in Ukraine.

In 1959, an uprising called the “26th of July Movement” led to the communist rule under the leadership of Fidel Castro in Cuba.

In April 1961, a group of 1,500 Cuban exiles opposed to Castro invaded Cuba supported by artillery, mortars, tanks aircrafts and naval ships, all of which was provided and financed by the U.S.. This was one of a series of ‘regime change’ operations carried out by the U.S. which failed, such as the 2011 U.S.-NATO attack on Syria.

This incident came to be known as the Bay of Pigs invasion.

  1. Another reason they hated the WAR hero JFK, not starting another one, war that is.

    Read that the Cubans were out to view the submarine and hopefully they rolled up in those classic 1950’s autos.

    Maybe the immaculate Chicago jesus messiah (the One!) could pull something “historic” and open the negotiations.

    World leaders don’t like to get punked by asspuppet Brandon who doesn’t run anything, probably why Mohammed bin Salman didn’t answer the phone or come off some more petrol.

    These brilliant victories are piling up for the Witches Coven that runs the AINO/FUSA (H/T-the great JHK), people are tired of all this winning. (s/)

    This just in from Conan:

    Breaking-A brilliant, historic victory for Brandon after raising $8 million at a Virginia shindig with the immaculate Chicago jesus messiah (the ONE!) and Slick Willie, along with Jonah Schimmel Jimmy Kimmel.

    How much does Trump raise without a shindig of Northern Virginia apparatchiks making sure they tithe to their trinity?

    Sorry, no redistribution comrades but Brandon will get you fourteen cents for a tax rebate.

    Forward, yes we can!

    Mock, scorn, ridicule.
