China is dicussing plans jointly with Cuba to build a
military training camp on the Island. Those plans are said to be 'at an
advanced stage and just not concluded'. This is China's way of hitting
back where it really hurts. And this is sparking alarm in the USA with
the fear that China's next step could be the stationing of Chinese
troops on Cuba. After all the accussations against China of building a
spying network on Cuba, China is now telling the USA we are going to do
more than that. After what the USA did in Taiwan, many are urging and
speculating that China will some day pay the USA back in its own coin.
It really is coming to that.
The USA really has no reason to be
alarmed and should be expecting this. After all, it is a well known fact
that USA military personnel, openly touted, are already in Taiwan
training the Taiwanese soldiers. What is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander. In today's evolving multi polar world, there is no more
exceptionalism in what the USA can do and not others.
It is now
up to Russia and China together to decide just how far they need to go
to tolerate the USA if events go out of hand. Tit for tat and an eye for
an eye is the only language that the USA will understand. In the past,
the USA will just invade and take down countries like Iraq and Libya.
The Soviet Union had been forced to relinquish its military connections
in Cuba, in a position of weakness, in what is called 'The Missiles of
October' in 1962. Russia today is different, with so much support that
is growing under BRICS.
In fact, there is more to come if the USA
is intent on stirring up the Taiwan independence issue and escalating
the war in Ukraine. China and Russia may even see it fit to foray into
Venzuela and even Central America sooner or later with tactical nuclear
weapons, if the USA keeps up the escalation in Ukraine and provocation
over Taiwan. Russia already took the first step of moving tactical
nuclear weapons into Belarus, with eyes on Poland.

PS. The Americans also have military bases and soldiers in South Korea, Japan, Okinawa, the Philippines and Guam, all on the periphery of China. What the Americans can do, China and Russia can do also.
In the Cuban Crisis, the American media played up like issue that the Russians backed down but did not mention about the Americans having to pull out nuclear weapons from Turkey in return.

The former Soviet Union was in no economic position to compete with the USA in the military spending side and went bankrupt. That was also during a period when the USA was at the peak of its economic power, while the Soviet side was completely dwarfed by the economic power of the USA. It lead to the breakup of the Soviet Union, where the Western Soviet satellite states like Ukraine breaking free, and today most are now in the EU and Nato.
Gorbachev made the terrible mistake of trusting the USA and Nato that there was to be no expansion of Nato by even an inch. That mistake enabled Nato to expand right up to the border of Russia, with Ukraine being lured to join Nato, which is one of the main reason and the main cause of the Ukraine War now ongoing.
