Russia's going back to Cuba. Let's all praise our foreign policy the past 5+ years

Russia 'to reopen Cold War Cuban listening post used to spy on America'

 

  • Facility at Lourdes was the largest Russian listening post abroad
  • It was mothballed in 2001 after relations with the U.S. warmed
  • But relations with the West have deteriorated amid the Ukraine crisis
  • Moscow has also shown a new interest in Latin America and Cuba
  • Last week, Russia agreed to write off 90 per cent of Cuba's debt.
