Is history repeating itself in Cuba? Is Communist China using its Belt and Road Initiative to turn Cuba into a dependent colony like it was under the former Soviet Union? Is Cuba about to become Communist China's first military base in the Western Hemisphere?
These are important questions. Why? Because the closest the world has ever come to a nuclear holocaust occurred in 1962 after the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, allowed his country to become a vassal state of the former Soviet Union. When Castro seized power in 1959 by overthrowing Cuban autocrat Fulgencio Batista, he promised the Cuban people an end to poverty, illiteracy and widespread public health problems. Unable to follow through on his promises, Castro turned to the Soviet Union for help.
In so doing, he allowed Cuba to become a virtual Soviet colony, dependent on its power-hungry, anti-American despot, Nikita Khrushchev. Khrushchev was quick to use his iron-fisted hold over Cuba to move against the United States. He demanded Castro allow construction of a sophisticated signals intelligence site at Lourdes, Cuba, and bases, less than 100 miles from our shores, for ballistic nuclear-tipped missiles aimed at the United States. When American reconnaissance aircraft revealed their presence, the world teetered on the edge of nuclear war for 14 days as President John F. Kennedy and Khrushchev engaged in the most dangerous game of cat and mouse ever played.
Now, history appears to be repeating itself, but this time the aggressor is Xi Jinping, the totalitarian head of the People's Republic of China. Whereas Khrushchev was boastful and bombastic, Xi is cunning, devious and deceitful. He is wrapping the PRC's slimy tentacles around Cuba under the guise of economic assistance through its Belt and Road programs.
The innocent sounding Belt and Road Initiative is the PRC's strategy for gaining control of economically weak nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America by saddling them with debt they cannot repay. The PRC provides loans, primarily to poorer nations, for badly needed infrastructure projects. When, predictably, these nations cannot repay the loans, they become puppets of Communist China. Using Belt and Road agreements, the PRC gains not just influence over third-world nations, it gains control. The debtor nations find themselves in the same unenviable position as the person who borrows money from the Mafia and cannot pay it back. The Mafia owns him or her from that point forward.

Very concerning, but we also are in debt to China, and we assume they will wait forever to be paid back, but it seems possible they may use that debt to take a greater more overt level of control before long.
China owes us a lot more than we owe them! How much did we lose be abuse of their virus? Economy, how many lives, schools, our children are behind by at least two years, how much of our freedoms did we lose, family time, being with our dying.....on and on!
biden, swallwell, waters, and others already sold us out to the chinese communists!!!!!!!!!!
Simply a loan-shark tactic, if you don;t pay up on time, we come after you!
there won't be any pushback as long as devildemocommiecrats and establishment gop TRAITORS control the government!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget China manages the Panama Canal and they have agents all across Central and South America... it is hard to believe their infiltration of so many nations doesn't display an aggressive effort to dominate and colonize Cuba, Mexico, Central, and South America. The lack of MSM coverage on this phenomenon is indicative of the early stages in a Marxist insurgency campaign.
Yes, I was in Panama from 65-67 and there was quite a few Chinese living in Panama City at that time.. It would be interesting to know just how much that "Colony" has grown since then.....
They want to be everywhere! Cuba is as important to China as it was for the Soviets.....it's less than 100 miles from us! They are all over Afrika, working on Europe, 4ussia is broke so they need China.....and China has the money, thanks to us building their industry!
This bunch of commies will welcome the Chinese commies into Cuba with open arms .anything to distory a wance powerful country. This must be stopped but won't under comrad biden.
Shouldn't be surprising. The Chinese are buying America (farmland, apartments, etc.) and have been welcomed by many universities and colleges to be a part of their operations. I can only imagine where else they have implanted themselves.
