Russia suggests military deployments to Cuba, Venezuela an option

https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5...uela-an-option

To me it is clear Putin is desperate, just like Dubya thought the USA army would be received in Irak as liberators, things aren't playing out like he dreamed in his delusions of grandeur in reality. Because unless they put nuclear weapons in Cuba or Venezuela those locations have little tactical value and I see neither of those two government wanting to be part in a war.

There is little Putin can do to bully the west into submission. There is only the kennedy option, of course, it has been said assassination was done by the Russian's as payback for the cuban missile crisis but the USA would never accept that because they would have to declare war. Removing Biden from office would leave a Kamala than is inexperienced and if we believe the reports from the press, highly dysfunctional as a politician.

Putin mishandling of the pandemic leaves him more unpopular than ever and if he stops pretending there is democracy in Russia, next time he might be the one asking autocratic governments for military aid to squash a peasant revolt.
