http://uk.reuters.com/article/wtMostRead/idUKN1030086820080811Cuba backs Cold War ally Russia on Georgia actions Mon Aug 11, 2008 3:23am BST Email | Print | Share| Single Page| Recommend (0) [-] Text - HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba sided with its old Cold War ally Russia on Sunday when President Raul Castro issued an official statement supporting Russia's military actions in Georgia's breakaway enclave of South Ossetia.
He backed a Russian demand that Georgia unconditionally withdraw its troops from the pro-Russian area that Georgia tried to reclaim militarily on Thursday. "It's false that Georgia is defending its national sovereignty," Castro said in the statement that appeared to reflect recent steps toward renewing Cuba-Russia relations. "The request for a previous withdrawal of the invaders is just and our government supports it." The conflict began on Thursday when Georgia sent troops into South Ossetia, and Russia, which had peacekeepers in the province, responded by sending in tanks and heavy armour to drive back the Georgians. Russia previously had provided support to the separatists. On Sunday, Russia took control of the province's capital, Tskhinvali, while Georgia offered a cease-fire and peace talks after pulling back its troops. Castro said South Ossetia shared neither nationality nor culture with Georgia and had maintained its status as "an autonomous republic." "The Autonomous Republic of South Ossetia historically formed part of the Russian Federation," he said. Castro charged that Georgia had launched its action on South Ossetia "in complicity with the United States," Cuba's long-time enemy.

And Cuba is relevant how? I will tell you how- they need to become apolitical double-quick so their very relevant cigars can be legally sold in the US again. Nobody listens to their political ranting; plenty of people love their cigars.

I agree that Cuba has nothing that can hurt us but the implication that they are friends with and backing russia again has intricate implications for casting fear and doubt about what russia is giving them or doing in cuba. |

Peter, I don't understand this "all-powerful, listen to the big guys and ignore the little insignificant guys" kind of attitude you have. You're becoming just another D-wang and Grumpy (hint: not something to be proud of) |

Cuba, as it currently stands, is irrelevant. They are not a threat to the United States. If Russia were to gain control over Cuba like it did during the Cold War, however, then we should worry.

You're becoming just another D-wang and Grumpy (hint: not something to be proud of) Cuba is not a threat to the US. Some politicians try to make it seem like Cuba is a threat but it is not. I am not belittling Cuba - I am pointing out a fact. Every time Cuba makes a "communist" scene that gets picked up on the news, they hurt their own citizens- not the US. That is my point. |

Cuba and Russia, in case you haven't noticed, are murderous, oppressive shit-holes which are ruled by one thing: Fear. That some of you are speaking about them as if they are free nations is just fucking incredible.

Sounds like the United States....ruled by a murderous, oppressive shit hole/psychopathic power mad megalomaniac, ruling the country with fear and brainwashing, killing Americans for oil so he and Cheney can get PHAT. OOOH watchout today, it is a level orange terrorist threat day. (Everyday that Bush is in office, and the rest of the murderous, fearmongering, psychopathic, megalomaniac gang, is a level red terrorist day). That you think you live in a free nation, or that you believe you are still free in the United States, or that you believe that the constitution is still in tact and means anything, or that the Bill of rights hasn't been destroyed, or that Habeas Corpus is still in effect, or that Passe comatatis hasn't been eradicated by Bush and his handlers ( The fascist, globalist, New World Order shit holes), is just fucking incredible!!!  Incase no one has officialy welcomed you, let me be the first...WELCOME TO NAZI AMERICA.  |
