Professional psychopath John Bolton has an article out with The Hill titled \u201cAmerica can\u2019t permit Chinese military expansion in Cuba<\/a>\u201d which inadvertently spells out exactly what\u2019s wrong with the way the US empire keeps amassing heavily armed proxy forces on the borders of its large Asiatic enemies.<\/p>\n

Citing a\u00a0Wall Street Journal report from last month<\/a>\u00a0in which anonymous US officials claim that Havana has entered negotiations with Beijing for a possible future joint military training facility in Cuba, Bolton argues that the US must use any amount of aggression necessary to prevent this facility\u2019s construction, up to and including regime change interventionism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe potential of significant Chinese facilities in Cuba is a red-flag threat to America,\u201d Bolton writes, arguing that such activities \u201ccould well camouflage offensive weapons, delivery systems or other threatening capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, hypersonic cruise missiles, already harder to detect, track, and destroy than ballistic missiles, are natural candidates for installation in Cuba, a prospect we cannot tolerate, along with many other risks, like a Chinese submarine base,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

All of which are arguments that could be made pretty much note-for-note by Russia and China about the ways the US has been\u00a0threatening their security interests<\/a>\u00a0with war machinery in their immediate surroundings.<\/p>\n

Do sovereign countries have the right to host foreign militaries on their soil without their neighbors complaining, or do they not?<\/p>\n

Bolton, always a maniac, suggests this is worse than the Cuban Missile Crisis. Imagine how aroused he got when writing this: https:\/\/t.co\/gfDVCSlZE8<\/a><\/p>\n
