Cuba declares war on America? Russia participates
Cuban President Miguels Canel arrived on a visit to Russia. The program includes a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. Russia and Cuba – old and allies – are still limited to general phrases about the talks. However, during the war in Ukraine, none of the state leaders travels to Russia just like that. There are clear hints that the visit of the Cuban president is directly related to the confrontation between Russia and the United States.
They just don’t come to Russia
Miguel Diaz-Canel arrived in Russia on Saturday evening. The program of the visit includes the unveiling of a monument to the leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro, in Moscow on November 22. And before this foundation, three days and – especially with Putin.
It is curious that the parties do not officially report on the topics of transactions and are limited to general cases of the emergence of multifaceted economic cooperation. Indeed, judging by the confirmation of dozens of years of announced and important international negotiations between countries that took place the day before, on November 17, the 19th meeting of the Russian-Cuban intergovernmental commission took place in Moscow. According to the Cuban press, “cooperation in the socio-economic and scientific-technical fields, joint projects related to energy are planned to be discussed.”
However, a question hangs in Europe: if we are talking about a routine, already on the other rails of the Council, could it not be limited to a meeting at the ministerial level, which was the meeting of the Intergovernmental Commission? The intrigue was added by presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, who called the visit of the Cuban leader to Moscow “very important” and said that Putin and Diaz-Canel “have a lot to talk about.” Are the parties hiding something? What?
One gets the impression that the formal declaration of economic cooperation between Russia and Cuba as a goal is a kind of cover for other goals of bilateral negotiations. The entire foreign voyage of the President of Cuba, who has already visited Algeria in Russia and is leaving Moscow for Turkey and China, can be the same cover for the unannounced purposes of the visit to Moscow.
Of course, along the way, you can solve a lot of problems related to solving Cuba’s domestic economic problems, as well as the search for Russian and foreign assistance in solving them. However, the intrigue around the visit to Moscow is not noticed. Because no one returns to Russia, which is at war with the United States and the entire collective West, just to “talk” today.
Transparent hints
Anyone who observes the likely relations of Russia with the countries of Latin America, especially with Cuba, Venezuela and NicaraguaThe main question is whether Russia intends with the help of Cuba in its confrontation with the United States, and is Cuba ready for such assistance?
There are all cases when the trip of the Cuban leader to Moscow is evaluated precisely in the assessment of Russia’s war with the West in Ukraine. A few days before Diaz-Canel’s visit, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in an interview with RTVI that Russia was approaching close contact with the UK.
I want to call out that it’s probably not worth talking about military projects, not because I’m considering this topic, I don’t see it, but again, the logic is the same – why flaunt something that, by and large, requires silence and calm handling,
Ryabkov said. More than a clear hint. Is not it?
True, the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister spoke out, noting that “our relations with exceptional countries, with key key alliances and partners in industry, are much broader and richer than military conflicts and military-technical transportation.” He said that between Russia and countries relations are developing “on the whole spectrum: from education and culture to long-term economic projects in different countries.” In addition, Ryabkov said that Russia is going to hold an important meeting with Venezuela before the end of the year and that Russia “has an intensive political dialogue with Venezuela and contacts do not disappear.”
But the caveat is not the point. The main thing is still about “military projects”. What exactly does Russia not want to flaunt? Let’s not think. Let’s leave it to our overseas enemies.
Real friendship
It is noteworthy that the Cuban press writes about the visit of their leader in lofty tones.
This is another chapter in the history of strong friendship
– emphasizes Granma in the article, emotional with emotional epithets. Diaz-Canel himself wrote on his page on the social network:
It is always a pleasure to return to Russia, a country with which we have excellent political relations. The visit is likely to touch upon issues of vital importance to Cuba and will strengthen exchanges of broad, interchangeable interest. We are grateful for the solidarity expressed and the bonds of friendship that unite us.
In general, the Cuban press, in particular Granma, covers a series of articles that emphasize that the friendship between Cubans and Russians has already a long history, which has become almost a legend, and this friendship is permeated not only with official relations, but also with personal ties of hundreds of Cubans and Russians. In one of the articles, Granma writes that “Cubans have a Russian soul.”
Making a capture
This tone is not accidental. It seems that Cuba, as in the distant days of the economic crisis, made an unequivocal choice in favor of Russia and was ready with our active cases of infection for the United States and the entire West. Cuba and Russia managed to convince Western “observers” that Diaz-Canel came to Moscow to ask for help in solving Cuba’s energy problems. This, in particular, writes the American agency Bloomberg. However, Russia makes it clear that everything is very serious, and this applies to our war with the United States and the entire West.
On the one hand, Moscow and Havana reveal the true topics that are being discussed at the highest level. On the other hand, we warn that we and our allies in the coastal basins have a phenomenon that can be quickly and freely used against those who threaten both Russia and the united allies. What exactly? Let our enemies guess.
Revealing only that exactly 60 years ago, in an international crisis, Cuba did not challenge a retaliatory strike on its territory by the United States and declared solidarity with the Russians, together with the Soviet Union, challenged an arbitrary northern neighbor for days. Cubans today are the same as they were 60 years ago.
