Sauce for the Gander


Yeah, this
It appears that China has established an electronic surveillance installation in Cuba.

All things considered, this is not a surprising development.

The US state security apparatus has been attempting to overthrow the government in Havana for over 60 years, and Biden has done relatively little to return to the (slight) rapprochement between the US and Cuba during the Obama administration.

Continued sanctions have done more to preserve the Cuban regime than any support from the USSR, Russia, or China ever has:

Cuba’s deal to allow China to set up an electronic surveillance facility on the island in exchange for cash is the latest high-stakes twist in decades of strained relations with the U.S. as Havana struggles with its worst economic crisis since the breakup of the Soviet Union.

The agreement has echoes of Cold War tensions that have long marked Cuban relations with the U.S. In 1962, Cuba allowed the Soviet Union to place nuclear missiles on the island, just 90 miles from the Florida coast, almost sparking a nuclear confrontation between the two superpowers. For years the Soviets operated a large eavesdropping facility at the Lourdes military base near Havana, which was shut down after the breakup of the U.S.S.R.

………

The Cuban Foreign Ministry denied it had made any agreement for a Chinese surveillance facility in Cuba, saying the report was “untrue and unfounded.”

It really is remarkable just how self destructive and stupid the US foreign policy "Blob" is.

Their predilection for own goals is astonishing.
