While some in the U.S. continue their attempts to convince Americans communist Cuba is our friend, the Castro dictatorship continues to show us they are our sworn enemy.
Marco Rota explains in an Op-Ed in The Washington Times:
Cuba’s role in the Chinese-Russian terrorist network
Thugs shift from kidnappings, killings to economic and biomedical warfare, disinformation
While many Americans remain concerned about Venezuela’s impact on the immigration crisis at the southwestern border, there are more grave problems of global dimensions presenting an imminent threat to the United States 90 miles south of the Florida Keys on the island of Cuba.
As recent events have revealed, China is adopting the Soviet Union’s Khrushchev-era Latin America strategy, fitting the Caribbean island of Cuba into the so-called global terror network.
The infamous terror network, which blossomed in Europe in the 1970s with killings and kidnappings, including the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II in 1981, has shifted to far more sophisticated operations that involve economic warfare, coercive diplomacy, cyberattacks, intelligence gathering, sabotage, disinformation, and biomedical and psychological warfare.
While the network still operates worldwide in places such as the Balkans, Europe, and the Middle and Far East, Cuba is a valuable asset to China because it already has at least three Soviet-era military installations there — Lourdes near Havana, Santiago and, especially since 1992, Bejucal.
The latter has the potential to pose a grave threat to the national security of the United States since it can track the movements of three U.S. military installations (Doral, Key West and Homestead), all of which are central to future U.S. Pacific operations for Taiwan.
To address this critical issue, Sen. Bob Menendez, New Jersey Democrat, and Rep. Michael McCaul, Texas Republican, recently launched a bipartisan initiative calling for an intelligence briefing on the matter.
While It comes as no surprise to us that the Cuban regime and China are working together to undermine U.S. national security, the establishment of intelligence facilities and expansion of military ties this close to U.S. territory is a significant, escalatory step that deeply concerns all Americans and affects global security as a whole.
This is a Chinese-led global design in which the Cuban regime plays a leading role by allying with countries like Iran and North Korea.
