The end of The Monroe Doctrine, Putin establishes military bases in Latin America
The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming.
Away from the conflict in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is quietly seeking a foothold in Latin America, military officials warn.
To the alarm of lawmakers and Pentagon officials, Putin has begun sending navy ships and long-range bombers to the region for the first time in years.
Russia's defense minister says the country is planning bases in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, and just last week, Putin's national security team met to discuss increasing military ties in the region.
Gen. James Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command said there has been a "noticeable uptick in Russian power projection and security force personnel" in Latin America.
"It has been over three decades since we last saw this type of high-profile Russian military presence," Kelly said at the March 13 hearing.
I'm sure you'll be shocked to learn that Obama is asleep at the switch.
According to Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), there are 10 countries in Latin America that currently have no U.S. ambassador because they either haven't been nominated yet or confirmed, a sign that the region is seen as a low priority.
And when Dear Leader does nominate an ambassador, the guy is a moron.
President Obama has nominated yet another totally unqualified fundraiser to be a US Ambassador. This one is his pick for Argentina, who admitted he's never been to the country.
Priorities, dontcha know. Because his real enemy is the Koch brothers.
This president is determined to nullify U.S. influence in world affairs, and now he's abandoned our oldest foreign policy initiative. James Monroe ensured the Russians would stay out of the Americas for almost 200 years. Barack Obama has reduced the United States to a spectator, powerless to influence events in our backyard, while Russia openly mocks us and taunts our joke of a president.
Putin's beachhead is a harbinger of disaster for America.
Thanks Obamabots. The 1980's called, to remind you of when we were a superpower.
