    COMMENT: Marty, thank you for your revelation on Venezuela. While everyone is talking about oil and some China, your contacts are always head and shoulders above everyone else.

    Thank you again for bringing clarity to the propaganda.

    Eli

    ANSWER: Here is a clip from 2019 when the Neocons, Trump haters, and of course CNN the Marxist Channel of propaganda, was calling Trump Putin’s Puppet for NOT going into Venezuela back then. These people know NOTHING about foreign policy. There have been hints of Russia putting missiles in Cuba or Venezuela. Trump really acted like this was a 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Of course, the press will not explain this in such a way for it would elevate Trump to Kennedy status. OMG! They can’t let that happen even though much of that was propaganda as well.

    From Putin’s perspective, the EU wants to admit Ukraine as a NATO member and they would then put nukes there. That is the truth, but you will never read that in mainstream press because Putin is evil and the West wears the white hat. He realistically sees this as a chess game. Putin puts nukes in Venezuela and/or Cuba, and that is checkmate via Ukraine. Cyclically, this was on target – 2x the Pi Cycle.

    The official story goes like this: Khrushchev blinked. Kennedy stood firm. The Soviets backed down and removed their missiles from Cuba. American resolve triumphed. The Russians were humiliated. End of story. This narrative served multiple purposes: It made Kennedy look strong. It justified his hardline stance. It humiliated the Soviets publicly, which satisfied American pride. And it concealed the actual bargain that ended the crisis.

    It Was a Calculated Trade

    Kennedy absolutely agreed to remove American Jupiter missiles from Turkey as part of the deal to end the crisis. This wasn’t a minor concession—it was the core of the settlement. The Soviets got exactly what they wanted strategically, while accepting public humiliation to avoid nuclear war. Trump’s action was to prevent the same type of confrontation.

     

    Immediately AFTER the Venezuela operation, Trump turned his attention to Cuba. When asked about potential military action against Cuba, Trump said an American military intervention in Cuba was unnecessary because the island appears ready to fall on its own. What I can say is that Trump did directly war Cuba and this is all about accepting missiles from Russia. This was NOT about oil alone. That is the side-bet. It also displaces the Middle East in a crisis.

    Yes, Russian officials have made multiple threats about deploying missiles to Cuba and Venezuela, particularly in recent months. Most notably, in late October 2025, Alexei Zhuravlyov, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s State Duma Defense Committee, stated that Moscow could deliver nuclear-capable missiles to Venezuela or Cuba, calling the United States Russia’s “main geopolitical adversary” and declaring it an “enemy.”

    This wasn’t the first time. In January 2022, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated Russia could “neither confirm nor exclude” the possibility of deploying missiles to Cuba and Venezuela, saying it depended on US actions regarding Ukraine and NATO expansion.

    More recently, in November 2025, Zhuravlyov told Russian media there were “no obstacles” to providing Venezuela with the Oreshnik or Kalibr missiles, noting that Russia supplies Venezuela with weapons ranging from small arms to aviation.

    The threats specifically invoke the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The concern is particularly acute with the Oreshnik missile, which travels at Mach 10 and could potentially strike US targets in under five minutes if launched from Venezuela, compared to the 15-minute warning time during the original Cuban crisis.

     

     

    My sources confirm Zelensky is clueless. He jokes that Trump should do the same and kidnap Putin. This guy is not only dangerous, he is understands nothing of foreign policy. He dares to call Putin a dictator who stands for elections which he suspends all election in Ukraine because he knows he will lose and there are now brawls in his Parliament demanding elections in what is the most corrupt country in the world. He is being pay billions to start WWIII.

     

    Trum Putin playing Chess

    US officials have generally dismissed these statements as bluster. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan called it “bluster” and said if Russia moved in that direction, the US would “deal with it decisively.” This was the the public BS. Despite the hatred of Trump by the media, Trump is playing chess with Putin. If you cannot connect the dots, put you mask on and go for a drive, make sure you keep the windows up, COVID may be lurking in the bushes. This move is to prevent Putin from dragging in the US to help stop the insanity of the EU and NATO. If Trump does NOT exit NATO, then missiles in Cuba and or Venezuela would be checkmate.
