Lavrov is preparing for a trip to Cuba


As reported on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, during a working visit to a number of Latin American countries, the head of department, Sergey Lavrov, plans to visit Cuba on April 28-29.

During the visit, Lavrov had meetings with the Chairman of the State Council of Castro, also Foreign Minister of Cuba Rodriguez. It is planned to discuss a number of issues on international politics, as well as various aspects of bilateral cooperation.

Russia has long maintained friendly and trusting relations with Cuba. Back in 1996, the countries signed the Declaration of Principles of Relationships, and in 2009, in Moscow, the Memorandum on Principles of Strategic Cooperation
It is worth noting that the political dialogue with Cuba is maintained regularly at a high and high level. Moreover, a solid basis for cooperation between Russia and Cuba on the world stage is primarily a coincidence of positions and opinions on most issues relating to the situation in the world, adherence to strict observance of the principles and norms of international law, primarily the UN Charter. The republic traditionally supports Russia's priorities in the framework of the UN General Assembly. In turn, the Russian side regularly declares the need for an immediate lifting of the US trade and economic blockade of Cuba.

During the meeting of Sergey Lavrov with the Chairman of the State Council of Castro, along with the discussion of issues of political interaction, it is also planned to pay attention to the problem of further expansion of trade and economic ties.

In this case, the important task remains to increase and diversify the goods turnover. Projects of cooperation in the field of energy, transport, civil aviation, biotechnology and healthcare.

No less important in relations between countries is cooperation in the field of culture and public life. Russia traditionally takes part in various cultural events held in Havana, festivals. In turn, Cuba hosts Russian Film Weeks, cooperation in the field of theatrical art is successfully implemented.

The upcoming meetings of foreign ministers in Havana will make it possible to verify the course of the agreements that were reached in 2012 in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Cuba Castro. It is planned that the meetings will contribute to building trust between countries and achieving agreement on many international issues.

          The Caribbean crisis has nothing to do with it.
          They are closer to us, we are closer to them.
          The Americans are very sensitive to approaching their borders - they are used to the fact that no one can reach them from across the ocean. And here, right next to them, they immediately begin to weaken in their knees ...

              USA During the Caribbean crisis, the country proscribed the USSR a few warriors, and also considered the social camp an inevitable victory in the economic race (at least the Pentagon considered this scenario as VERY probable) And the deployment of missiles on the cube was considered as a red line of defense !!!
              NOW the situation is completely different! And the United States will not start an atomic war over air defense systems in Cuba! And the other Sanktsy, so that the Yusovites could introduce, have already entered!
              In addition, RUSSIA and Nicaragua concluded an EXTREMELY curious treaty which, from a military-political point of view, is much more dangerous for the United States than air defense in Cuba! And the United States got lost in response !!!!

                  And here, without any concrete details, everything is turned upside down! Responding in your own style, the attempt to deploy offensive weapons in Cuba was a response to the aggressive policy of the United States — the environment of the USSR with its bases. Therefore, the United States itself caused the Caribbean crisis and it is unfortunate that the USSR did not have the strength to bring this matter to the end then; now they would not have been so impudent.

                  If YOU, dear, have forgotten the story, I will slightly refresh your memory. The Caribbean crisis did not begin with the deployment of Soviet missiles in Cuba - this is its last phase. And with the deployment of American missiles in Europe, and in Turkey. The flight time was reduced just as it is now, plus the United States had an advantage in the means of delivery of nuclear parts. So this was an adequate response from the Soviet side. And then the USSR is blamed for everything, by the way after the negotiations of the USSR - it withdrew its missiles from Cuba, and the USA - abandoned plans for further deployment of missiles in Turkey.

                  SW matrosik!
                  After reading the history and results of the "Caribbean crisis" more attentively, it is easy to see that in the end nuclear missiles from Turkey were removed.
                  Not to mention the fact that the partners generally got rid of, and, since then, our leaders have been addressing "YOU"!

              There were other times - now only one submarine under the belly of the destroyer (which, without violating international laws, with a friendly visit ...) will leak somewhere in Varadero, for example. soldier
              And let the "partners" now cool their pants with liquid. From there it is even closer to Florida than to them because of Lvov.

              In principle, I agree with your point of view. Let us compare at least the potential of missiles with a "nucleus" during the Caribbean crisis and the equipment of one of our modern submarines. And why is it spent on island bases when no one is driving us out of Cuban ports? And whether our radar station is needed there - let the military specialists decide. Something like this.

            Lavrov's trip to Cuba right now is worth several days of uninterrupted communication with Kerry, Fabius, Sikorsky, Haig and other NATO fagots. (Alas, they did not deserve another "collective image") ) was a betrayal of state interests - high treason. It's time to collect stones.

          But do you think the increase in the naval and aviation composition of the NGA and NATO in the immediate vicinity of the borders with Russia is not the Ukrainian crisis? Planned and implemented by the United States with the ultimate goal of striking Russia.

          I believe that Putin has every reason to dictate an ultimatum to Obama, as Kennedy once did.
          And announce that in addition to missiles in Cuba
          Russian planes and helicopters will CONSTANTLY hang over all US Navy ships located in the Black and Baltic Seas.
          And any provocation by the United States or NATO - will be regarded as an act of war and an answer - will fly right away.

            Generally speaking, it is a sensible idea to place anything in Cuba, if this "movement" is meant as a reaction to the deployment of all kinds of "crap" by the United States in the countries of Eastern Europe, under our "nose". And while the "Caribbean Crisis-2", according to the previous scenario, may well not break out. Anyway, it seems to me that Lavrov is not only going to talk about "sausage, rum and ballet" there.

              Yes, the offensive component (at the current rate of development of armaments) can only overcome the defensive amount.

          Do you, sir, know anything about it besides the phrase "Cuban missile crisis"? Why did it start and how did it end? I remind you.
          It all started with the fact that the Americans put their missiles in Turkey. They put up against us. (Today, these missiles surround the entire south-west of Russia and may soon appear on the Dnieper, which is much closer than Turkey). In response to this, ours put their missiles in Cuba. Yes, there was a noise called the Caribbean Crisis. But it ended with the Americans removing their missiles, and we ours. If it had not been for the "Caribbean crisis", and American missiles would have continued to surround the USSR, perhaps you and I would not have existed today.
          Each crisis takes the system to a new level of development. No crises - no development. What is happening today is the Ukrainian crisis, with the main goal of weakening Russia and subordinating it to the interests of the States. You can follow your advice. those. do not escalate anything, but surrender, or you can present compelling arguments to our opponents. Yes, the crisis will go to the limit, but otherwise crises are not resolved, as abscesses do not break through.
          So "Give Cuba" is, as you know, your bad joke. But "We will not give up, we will save Russia" - this is serious.

            It all started with the fact that the Americans put their missiles in Turkey. They put up against us. (Today, these missiles surround the entire south-west of Russia and may soon appear on the Dnieper, which is much closer than Turkey). In response to this, ours put their missiles in Cuba. Yes, there was a noise called the Caribbean Crisis. But it ended with the Americans removing their missiles, and we ours. If it had not been for the "Caribbean crisis", and American missiles would have continued to surround the USSR, perhaps you and I would not have existed today.

            You don’t know a damn thing about the reasons and details of the events you are trying to talk about with such aplomb! I don’t know how much you are aware of other historical moments, but don’t get into the topic you have indicated. Your reasoning, to put it mildly, is ridiculous.

      Russian Defense Ministry - A small glitch in the course of the Russian missile RS-24 YRS. Pentagon - This is a provocation, US air defense could not take the target

      On April 26.04.2014, 24, the next launch of the RS-XNUMX YARS intercontinental missile from the Kapustin Yar test site was carried out as part of the Strategic Missile Forces military exercises.
      The missile was supposed to cover the distance in 9 000 km in less than 2 hours. The missile did its job perfectly, but the missile’s flight course officially failed, the missile moved toward the continent of North America, the target is the United States.
      As stated at the Pentagon: Russia was trying to provoke the states into military action that would lead to irreparable.
      US air defense could not take the RS-24 on target even when the missile was less than 2000 km from the country. When the rocket approached a distance of about 500 km, it changed course and flew towards Argentina.
      The Russian Defense Ministry commented on this situation as "A slight misalignment of the missile's flight path, moreover, it was absolutely safe and did not contain an explosive base."
      The Pentagon called Russia's actions provocative and recalled that Russian missiles never gave such failures, not taking into account the Bulava missile, and that they do not believe in the accident of all this.
      Recall that this is not the first time that the United States is unable to ensure its security, in particular the recent case in the Black Sea, when the Russian Su-24 bomber with the support of the radio-electronic warfare system opposed the American missile destroyer Donald Cook.
      The Su-24 using the EW system created irresistible obstacles to the radars and the guidance system of the destroyer, after which for more than an hour it simulated a combat attack, approaching the destroyer at 100 meters.
      The world arms race will always remain with us, said Chuck Heigl, but today we see something else. The United States began to show its weakness and helplessness.

      No strategists are needed there. We need early detection tools and elements of missile defense and air defense.
      And we can deliver missiles with much less noise to the shores of their continent on our submarines. In general, it is not so important now what time of approach at the mine-based missile. Moreover, now it’s not fashionable to shake a nuclear club. Now it’s fashionable to have a bunch of cruise missiles with conventional warheads that are not subject to restrictive agreements. Therefore, the main trend is not mines (although they are needed), but multipurpose nuclear submarines and frigates with high-precision weapons.

    What did not succeed once should not scare off the next attempts. Currently, there is complete hegemony of the United States. You can resign yourself and quietly wait for the United States to gain even greater strength and we will be swept away as Yugoslavia. Another option is to try to resist. From this point of view, getting closer to the US borders means moving from defense to counterattack. I am an introvert by nature - withdrawn and not conflicted, but I feel that I am “cornered”. You must behave with impudent people accordingly, otherwise they will feel their impunity. Life is a struggle! And yet: "Give Cuba"!

      Comrade! About "Give Cuba" I'm only "for". And in context, the phrase was addressed to a specific rotten character of the forum. But the discussion is public, hence this storm in a glass of water hi

    Cuba is our reliable partner against the United States, it is imperative to restore and strengthen relations with them in all areas. Amer will definitely start heartburn from this. But first of all, to put something broadcasting on America there, then they will bequeath, it seems like not weapons, but by value it can even be more effective.

    Anyway, it seems to me that Lavrov is not only going to talk about "sausage, rum and ballet" there.

    I agree! - any movement on our part in central America at different levels, and the higher and more often, the better it will help to cool the ardor of presumptuous Yankees. They completely relaxed them ... The whole planet was already drifting.

    And I like the behavior of Sergei Lavrov. The Yankees are puffing with all their might to annoy Russia, and Russia is working as if nothing had happened. Lavrov in general is a lump-human creature, no matter how much Kerry danced in front of him, he knows how to stand his ground.

    As for Cuba, it has always been a special place for Russians. My relative worked in the seventies there, told me - they love us there, and in general - the Cubans are very friendly people. And what an unpleasant affront this is for the Yankees, to them Cuba is like a splinter in a soft place. And pricks, and pull in no way.

    The Caribbean crisis has nothing to do with it.
    They are closer to us, we are closer to them.
    The Americans are very sensitive to approaching their borders - they are used to the fact that no one can reach them from across the ocean. And here, right next to them, they immediately begin to weaken in their knees ...

    Lavrov's trip to Cuba right now is worth several days of uninterrupted communication with Kerry, Fabius, Sikorsky, Haig and other NATO fagots. (Alas, they did not deserve another "collective image") ) was a betrayal of state interests - high treason. It's time to collect stones.

    In winter, Cuba had to hit the road and declare that we agreed on the deployment of missiles. You see the United States would be quieter. We got used to the fact that no one renders any resistance to them, and so they become impudent. But Obama has a Peace Prize, so let him at least work it out by agreeing with Russia to withdraw missiles from Cuba, in exchange for non-interference in Ukraine’s affairs. In my opinion, we began to forget the lessons of history. Only in the face of Nuclear War did the USSR AND the USA begin temporary disarmament and the situation was difficult, but stable until recently. Now you must admit that it is not clear how Obama will behave if Putin does not retreat, and he has nowhere to retreat. Suddenly, the President of the United States had a deuce in history. Aw, people negotiate only with equal strength, and this strength needs to be demonstrated from time to time.

    And they don’t give a damn about aircraft carriers, each of them is constantly followed by a submarine,

    In Nicaragua, together with China, we are digging a competitor to the Panama Canal. At the same time, Russia ensures the safety of this process. Accordingly, a base in Cuba is needed to supply this entire process. You don't even need missiles there. Simple work bustle is enough. Ships come/go, planes/helicopters in the air like a flock of mosquitoes...

    I think that the conversation in Cuba will be about the possible organization of joint exercises and the development of “open” ports. It is also possible to resuscitate our once abandoned infrastructure in a new capacity, as a repair base (by the way, the Chinese, despite the proposals of the Cubans, did not interfere with our facility.... they preferred to develop it from scratch somewhere nearby -)) )
    And the plot of the exercises is logical and interesting to all partners in the Caribbean region. We have invaluable experience in landing and providing support in equatorial conditions, and we will return some of the "Cooks" to their "homeland" ... they are too far from their native shores - let them guard Florida -)) For the Cubans - an invaluable opportunity to practice the actions of their structures in " invasion mode." And no missiles are needed, this will lead to an escalation of poisonous weapons near our borders. But stopping a missile defense system with a restored radar is quite possible.
    And of course, help for Texas oil workers - they have been fighting for a referendum on autonomy for a long time!!!-)))

    There are enough Iskanders up there through the roof and good air defense!
    There are a bunch of Amer’s bases around Cuba, all at a distance of 100 to 300 km from Cuba.
    The range of the Iskander is 500 km!
    You can increase it to 800 km and then you can pinch on the continent)

    Maybe our diplomats and military should agree with the Government of Cuba on joint military maneuvers off the coast of Cuba with the processing of measures for the security of the Cuban coastline, and then on the deployment in Cuba of coastal anti-ship systems, two or three S400 divisions, two or three air defense air regiments With full support , radio intelligence center, over-the-horizon radar. And then in the State Duma, start a debate about Russia’s withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
    All this will be a blow of cold water on the heads of American hawks. And they will remember the Caribbean crisis again. And Russia will again have a chance to speak with the United States and NATO on equal terms, from a position of strength. About everything. And about NATO’s advance to the East, and about missile defense in Europe and in other parts of the world, and in other aspects. The end of the unipolar world. And the beauty of this situation is that it is not necessary to put all these plans into practice. It is enough to take one, two or three steps according to this plan, and just declare the others. I'm sure this will be enough.....
