Watch out for China because, listen, this nuclearized, troop-laden, threatening, ultra-aggressive military monster has just come up with another warning of evil intent. It is negotiating with Cuba about a joint military training and enhanced intelligence center 100 miles from Florida. The center would no doubt host vast numbers of China’s 2 million-plus active troops as combat readiness grows and U.S. military secrets become a reading pleasure.
There’s another worry, namely that Cuba will at some point sacrifice its sovereignty as it becomes a part and not just a partner of the People’s Republic of China, this nation of a billion-plus population wanting to rule the world. China desires more than just a squatting place next door to America; while Cuba does seem to have some doubts about the military center, that may be washed away as China pours billions of dollars into its economy.
This next-door gym for killing skills is scary in a variety of ways, considering how it could be a means of China going beyond trade tricks to security tricks and control Latin America. Well, all the best to decent free-world leaders who must resolve this conflict and take note of the news to become aware of still more Chinese bellicosity requiring unified responses.
Consider, for instance, sparkling Taiwan and how it wants to retain its independence and how China recently as much as pretended it was in a full-scale war with this comparative smidgen in the sea. The barrage of warships, jets and live fire pretty much summed up how a real war would end with no cheers from humane voices. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he does not support a Taiwanese declaration of independence and President Joe Biden said the United States would intervene if there were a Chinese attack. Compromise?
