Battle of Cuba. Dmitry Rogozin arrived in Havana

133
A serious geopolitical struggle of Russia and the USA for the Island of Freedom began - the state of Cuba. After the US Department of State announced that Washington was ready to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba and even lift the trade and economic embargo, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin went to visit the Castro brothers. At a meeting with the Chairman of the State Council and the Council of Ministers of Cuba, Raul Castro, Dmitry Rogozin discussed the expansion of economic cooperation in various sectors.

Battle of Cuba. Dmitry Rogozin arrived in Havana


Dmitry Rogozin:
Acquaintance and beginning of negotiations with Cuban President Raul Castro. They spoke well. Long. More than one and a half hours.


The Cuban press, which, frankly, without much enthusiasm met the recent statements by representatives of Washington, writes about the visit of the representative of the Russian authorities (quotes from RIA News):
During the fraternal meeting, they talked about the excellent state of bilateral relations, the need to strengthen them, in particular, in the economic and commercial sphere.


How great these relations are is a big question, but one thing is for sure - there are no obstacles for a full-fledged re-establishment of contacts that were reduced to zero in the first post-Soviet years between Russia and Cuba. And if it was Dmitry Rogozin who arrived in Havana, then there is a reason to say that the matter will not be limited to negotiations on an exclusive economy.

      And here is what Rogozin said in an interview with the media:


      “According to Rogozin, 50 years ago, the United States tried to blockade Cuba and this ended in the United States' recognition of“ its wrongness and weakness. ”He expressed confidence that sanctions against Russia would end in the same shame for them. “If the United States is somewhere imposed something, it doesn’t mean at all that we should react to it ”, - he said."

      Cool.And, as a hit, Dmitry Olegovich.

          Cuba will behave as the majority of our citizens expect, very responsibly. Don’t hesitate, Cuba, having taken full sweep of America’s slavery, will remain our friend, despite past mistakes of the Russian leadership. If there is a question about the existence of Russia, you can rest assured that Iskander and something else will appear in Cuba. Cubans can now play a beautiful game, but unlike Lukashenko, verbal diarrhea will be avoided.

            The problem in relations with Cuba, as well as with China, was their complete rejection of the collapse of the USSR and the departure of the new Russia from the socialist course of development ... However, over time, China changed its position, which we now see ...
            Well, Cuba ... At least, this is not Egypt, which has betrayed us more than once, despite the assistance rendered to it ... Raul, of course, is not such a tough and fiery fighter as Fidel, but, I think, it is better for him to renew friendship with Russia in a new capacity than with the Americans ...

              totally agree, China and Cuba looked at Yeltsin's democratic Russia at best with bewilderment

              But now China and Venezuela with Cuba and the Bolivarian countries. and Iran and Syria and others look at the Russian Federation as a potential ally in the confrontation with the states and the West. RF is clearly starting to "choose a side"

      Almost a topic but ...
      Today, their professional holiday - FSB Day - is celebrated by people who daily solve problems related to ensuring state security. However, the range of duties of employees of state security bodies is not limited to this only, because the interests of the state are closely related to the satisfaction of the possibility of the progressive development of the individual and society, and therefore, this also concerns national security. National security is the protection of the vital interests of citizens, society and the state, as well as national values ​​and lifestyle from a wide range of external and internal threats. In the era of the USSR, this holiday was well known as Chekist Day. The history of its establishment dates back to (7) December 20, 1917 - it was then that the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission, the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission, was formed. Later, the Cheka changed many names - NKVD, OGPU, MGB, KGB.

      Happy holiday men ...! You cover Russia.!

          Look how well done!)))) Already in three days the GRU pile !!!)))))
          Or maybe it was all easier? And the GRU was created along with the Cheka and the Criminal Investigation Department in 1918? From the wiki ...
          "In November 1918, the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic (RVSR) approved the staff of the RVSR Field Headquarters, which included the Registration Department with the functions of coordinating the efforts of the intelligence agencies of the Red Army units and preparing intelligence information for the Red Army Field Headquarters. The Registration Department became the first central body of military intelligence intelligence. Since the secret order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the RSFSR No. 197/27 on the staff of the Field Headquarters (including the staff of the Register) was dated November 5, 1918, this day is considered the birthday of the Soviet (and now Russian) military intelligence. military intelligence was Aralov Semyon Ivanovich.

          In February 1921, with the aim of creating a unified body of command and control of the armed forces, the Field Headquarters of the RVSR was merged with the All-Russia Headquarters in the Headquarters of the Red Army. The register group became part of the newly formed body.

          In April 1921, the Registration Directorate was transformed into the Intelligence Directorate of the Headquarters of the Red Army (Intelligence) with the inclusion of the military intelligence department. The relevant Regulation determined that this structure is the central organ of military intelligence, both in wartime and in peacetime.

          In 1921-1925, the Intelligence Agency carried out the so-called "active intelligence" - led the actions of pro-Soviet partisan detachments in the territories of states neighboring with Soviet Russia and the USSR.

          In November 1922, the Intelligence Directorate of the Headquarters of the Red Army was reorganized into the Intelligence Division of the Office of the 1st Assistant Chief of Staff of the Red Army with a significant reduction in functions and a reduction in staffing.

          In 1924, the Intelligence Directorate of the Headquarters of the Red Army was recreated.

          In September 1926, the Intelligence Directorate of the Headquarters of the Red Army was renamed the IV Directorate of the Headquarters of the Red Army.

          In August 1934, the Fourth Directorate of the Headquarters of the Red Army was renamed the Information and Statistics Directorate of the Red Army, which in turn was renamed the Intelligence Directorate of the Red Army in November 1934 (directly subordinate to the People’s Commissar of Defense).

          In May 1939, the Intelligence Directorate of the Red Army was transformed into the 5th Directorate of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR.

          In July 1940, the 5th Directorate was again transferred to the subordination of the General Staff and was named the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Red Army. "

            [2]
            On October 23, 1942, by order of the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR, the Main Intelligence Directorate was transferred from subordination to the General Staff to direct subordination to the Commissar of Defense. The GRU was entrusted with the conduct of all undercover intelligence and sabotage activities, both abroad and in the occupied territory of the USSR. At the same time, the Directorate of Military Intelligence of the General Staff was formed as part of the General Staff, which led the work of front-line intelligence agencies and military intelligence. Conducting undercover intelligence of the newly formed management was prohibited [3]. This separation of functions between the two intelligence services quickly showed their inefficiency. By order of the People’s Commissar of Defense of April 19, 1943, the Directorate of Military Intelligence of the General Staff was renamed the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff, and the leadership of intelligence and sabotage activities in the occupied territory of the USSR was transferred to him. The GRU of the People’s Commissariat of Defense of the USSR retained only intelligence intelligence abroad [4].

            In June 1945, the GRU of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR and the RU of the General Staff were reunified into the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Red Army. In September 1947, in connection with the reorganization of the intelligence services of the USSR, the GRU of the General Staff was abolished. Most of its functions and employees were transferred to the recently formed Information Committee, which combined military and political (intelligence of the USSR Ministry of State Security) intelligence in one structure. A relatively small Reconnaissance and Subversive Service was created to guide the military intelligence agencies left as part of the Armed Forces.
            In January 1949, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR was restored to the Ministry of the Armed Forces of the USSR in connection with the return of functions for the leadership of military intelligence. "

            capitalism, or whatever you want to call it - the current world order of the usa is obviously unfair

            Printing "candy wrappers" of the US FRS (a group of specifically selected families) keeps the whole world in slavery - and feeds its "golden billion" where we do not enter

            That is, we extract oil, for example, and give it to them for "candy wrappers" - but what is most interesting - we do not get these candy wrappers - as part of the "slave" deal, we give these candy wrappers back to the United States to the welfare fund, as it were (both the Russian Federation and KZ and ) - and then the most interesting

            We need money - and instead of taking our own candy wrappers - we take a loan from them at a large percentage

            This is no longer an economy but a craziness - and if we add here the destruction of natural resources - the consumption by a few percent of people of all the resources of the earth (while billions are doomed to hunger and poverty) - a waste of resources for iPhones and all kinds of nonsense - a cult of consumerism planted in the west
            then in general it turns out the coming of the Antichrist is somehow - the deputy devil drives the mammon in the west

            Our president Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev repeatedly spoke about the dollar and loans at several SCO summits - in principle, everyone understands this and the protest movement began in the form of a briks bank, etc.

            You can treat the Soviet Union in different ways - but it was a real alternative project to the devilish project of "freemasons" or what to call them there I don't know

        Cuba then did not need much: give oil and spare parts, they would have paid with sugar, fruit, rum. But our leadership fell completely under the Americans and actually threw Cuba. But Cuba still has a lot to offer.
        Cuba ranks second in the world in terms of nickel reserves, mining of which began in 1943 and increased significantly in the period after the 1959 revolution, when mine equipment was modernized with the assistance of the USSR and a mining and processing plant was built. Cuba currently holds the first place in the world in nickel production. Cuba has large reserves of cobalt and the third largest in the world in terms of its production and production. Cuba also has large deposits of copper ore (in the provinces of Oriente and Pinar del Rio). , manganese ores (in the province of Oriente), chromites (in the province of Camaguey), kaolins (on the island of Pinos), iron ore, asbestos, rock salt, phosphorites.

        No, ours, for the sake of the United States, had to break off relations in the 90s so that the Americans strangled Cuba! It did not work out for them, it will not work out with Russia either!
        Now Cuba is actively cooperating with China, so Russia will no longer be in the first place for it.

          But Obama most likely did such things without preparation. Because, apart from mutually released people (most likely this is the reason for Obama’s statement), there will be no consequences for Obama’s statements. The blockade of Cuba is framed in the form of laws, only Congress can cancel them, with which Obama will not be able to agree on this issue - the Republicans have already sharply criticized him. Therefore, diplomatic warming may come (but I don’t think that Obama will go to him - it will drop the influence of the Democrats too much), but it is unlikely that it will be economic.

Later, when Alexander had already captured Phenicia, Sparta rebelled against Macedonia. But it was cruelly defeated by the associate of Alexander Antipater in the battle of Megalopolis (this city remained faithful to Macedonia) in the Pelopones. The Spartans were forced to send an embassy to Alexander with a request for forgiveness, which Alexander provided them with the exception of the instigators of the uprising. Those who supported the uprising had to pay Megalopolis 120 talents for damages. With this victory, Antipater protected the rear of Alexander - Greece remained calm until the death of the Macedonian king.

Maybe they rebuilt the electronic intelligence center near the partners' side, but for their own benefit and on a modern base? If you know, please share. Maybe Rogozin's visit means the transfer of negotiations into a practical plane according to the principle - the Russians harness for a long time, but then ... Or you have a quote that Rogozin's visit is most likely a continuation of the restoration of relations. We restore one teaspoon per hour. And the enemy, as you know, does not sleep.

      It will be so. Cubans are no longer such "revolutionaries" as they were before, and Miami nearby is an excellent example of how you can live. The Cuban community there is huge and thanks to the fall of the Iron Curtain there, Cubans can personally convince how wonderful their socialism was.

      Regarding the Russian opportunities to attract Cuba, in the light of the last rublepad they seem ghostly. Here it is necessary to feed another island-Crimea.

        It is only necessary to return economic relations to the correct position - on their feet. Now they are standing on their heads, one might even say on their ears. Agree this is somewhat inconvenient. Money should run after production, and not the Fabricant to beg for money from the Banker and climb into bondage.
        Banknotes are just a medium of exchange that has only exchange value. For their production you need: a roll of paper and a bucket of paint. Fantasticists, as you know, and even more so zeros in the computer - you will not be full.
        Natural resources are a different thing. They are the basis for creating customer value. Natural resource potential of Russia (oil, gas, fresh water, fertile land, etc. etc.) according to some estimates, it is estimated to be 3,8 times higher than in the USA and 4,5 times higher than in China. smile

    The actions of the states in relation to Cuba is a clear sign that in their impotent spite and hatred of Russia they will do anything; in this case, they are trying to stake out their presence (so far political) in Havana in the hope of not allowing military cooperation with Moscow. This is a very alarming signal and I would be very reassured if these Washington initiatives would end in complete fiasco. Although of course the best option is not the return of Washington to Cuba, but the loss of Spanish-speaking territories, for example, the return of Texas to Mexico. I hope that this is the end of this region.

    In the main - they are right.
    This is how Russian leaders should think - the leaders of a world power, the heirs of the guarantors of Cuban independence.

    But the Cubans should not blame us for the difficult years after 1991. They can grieve, condemn those who allowed the collapse of the Soviet Union ...
    If the Cubans remained Marxists, then they should study what happened, draw scientific conclusions about the conditions, criteria and methods of anti-communists. Develop your opposition - and GO FOR THE VICTORY OF COMMUNISM!
    And if capitalist Russia helps in this Cuba, the peoples of Russia, Latin America, China, Korea, Vietnam, and also many more countries of the world will rejoice, and some will take the Cubans as an example.

    Cuba was very lucky with Fidel. The conditions are complicated, life on the verge of suicide, no big mistakes in domestic politics for more than 50 years - this is impressive.
    And now, even in our position, Cuba is an example for Russia.

Then hostilities began, the Cubans defeated the aircraft and armored units of the enemy. Although they themselves lost 52 pilots killed. The UN demanded a peace agreement. I had a photograph with R. Castro as a souvenir when we got acquainted with the enemy’s destroyed equipment.
    At present, VNIIRA, where I am currently working, supplies equipment for airports to Cuba. Under my editorship, the textbook "AS ATC" was published in the publishing house "Polytechnic". Comrade Franzmsko Ferdinand Padis, the Head of "Communications, Surveillance and Navigation" of the Republic of Cuba, requested this textbook from the publishing house to train air traffic controllers and specialists of aerodrome services. We must not lose friendly relations with Cuba. I have the honor.

    The serious geopolitical struggle of Russia and the USA for the Island of Freedom - the state of Cuba - began. - Wai-wai, but do you flatter yourself? Modern Russia is clearly not the USSR (2% of world GDP against 26% of Soviet) and Cuba has nothing to offer, Ukraine has gone from under your nose, and you think about distant Cuba., , A serious geopolitical struggle, is nothing more than a beautiful phrase for caressing your own pride.

      It is a pity that the USSR \ Russia .first "under the leadership" of the outspoken traitor Gorbachev, and then the drunkard Yeltsin and his Gaidaro - Gubaisovo - Gusinsko - Berezovskaya "gang" betrayed Cuba, but at that time not only Cuba was betrayed, all our people were betrayed country.
      And for the fact that we actually "believed" these outspoken enemies of our country, we paid 10 million lives, and the almost complete collapse of our state and industry.
      Honor and praise to Cuba that she did not follow this path.

    In the congress of the states themselves, not everything is so clear about Cuba. The Republicans do not like this, because with the advent of Castro and nationalization in the country, the Cubans squeezed out the business with a lot of money invested by the Americans. Building relationships is annoying that rich lobby, which have claims to return their capital. Therefore, the Senate will not give money so easily for this perestroika. Obama has already faced criticism of the Cubans fleeing the regime. So Senator Marco Rubio, responsible for this region, called Obama naive, his decision is absurd and offensive to Americans:
    "You are a naive president ... Cuba is a rogue dictatorial regime that contains dissidents in its prisons. Restoring relations with Cuba is absurd. It is a shame in front of hundreds of Cubans who fled from Cuba to Miami, many of whose relatives were either shot or are still in prison. Cuban prisons ... I have not seen anyone in my life who negotiates worse than the current president "(c) ...
    Marco Rubio will chair the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee of the Foreign Affairs Committee from January. It is through this body that decisions on the allocation of funds for the embassy in Cuba and on the appointment of an ambassador will have to pass. He has already openly admitted that he will take advantage of his position: "I feel we have a very interesting two years (Obama's remaining presidential term) of discussions about how you are going to appoint an ambassador and finance the embassy," he said.
    On the other hand, the Cubans are in a hurry to reconcile with the United States until Fidel's death, so that the world and the people of Cuba do not have the opinion that this happened only after Fidel's death, and before that it was impossible. Perhaps on this occasion, the Russian authorities approve of the establishment of relations: "Russia positively evaluates Washington's decision to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba" (c). This was announced on Wednesday, December 17, by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov.
    The situation is such that the United States is in a hurry because it is losing not only Cuba, but all of South America.

    Cuba will behave as the majority of our citizens expect, very responsibly. Don’t hesitate, Cuba, having taken full sweep of America’s slavery, will remain our friend, despite past mistakes of the Russian leadership. If there is a question about the existence of Russia, you can rest assured that Iskander and something else will appear in Cuba. Cubans can now play a beautiful game, but unlike Lukashenko, verbal diarrhea will be avoided.

    However, there is an American prison and a base on its territory, and we are only visiting Viktor Leonov...

    And our ruble is collapsing, and soon crowds of distraught Russians will rush to escape hunger and banditry in Ukraine (it turns out that a wall is being built for this purpose, Yatsenyuk honestly said)....

    I’ll tell you a secret - there is no rush in the stores, price increases are seasonal, if you want. I can go down to the first floor with the supermarket... and take a photo... District town for 40 inhabitants... I went to the boys from Tsyenzor and took photos, over time, and the saleswomen wrote a poster with the date and time and, laughing, held it in their hands over each display window, because they DID NOT BELIEVE!!!!!! This can’t happen, everything has collapsed for you, cucumbers cost 000 rubles, our media don’t lie... I even made a video... They still said propaganda, quilted jacket, and persuaded and rewrote all the price tags in the store...

    An RTR post has already been deployed in Cuba, communications were not particularly interrupted, but they were not advertised either....

    This is a sign of lack of time and weakness of the United States in the near future. Otherwise, it’s difficult to explain - both with Cuba (50 years) and with Iran (40 years) - they are suddenly trying to get involved in negotiations and “partnership”, albeit crafty, as usual.
    We look carefully at the North. Korea also needs to be deleted from the “Axis of Evil”!
    ISIS and Ebola can not even be considered, due to their artificial “made in USA” origin.
    I think that all the ancient manuscripts of “How to negotiate with the Devil” by America have already been exhausted many times before, and, unlike multiple futures, derivatives and insurance on insurance, you cannot sell such a product to this comrade. Give him souls that were not previously mortgaged, but with this there is a huge strain in the establishment.
