The Russians are back. Oh, how scary!

A ghost haunts the Cuban blogosphere: Russia's supposed return to the stupid son of the Caribbean; a lie that only benefits the oldest dictatorship in the West, which uses Moscow's tactical approach to pretend that it has notable allies and to beg.

Political fiction continues to haunt Cuba to the delight of the olive-green and guayaberada caste, which is enjoying the ballot with the efforts of political scientists and analysts; eager to draw a geopolitics that only exists in their heads.

While some and others frolic with the animated fantasies of crony communism, Washington once again marked the card of late Castroism, certifying that does not fully cooperate in the fight against terrorism.

International relations are pure and simple interests; There is no such thing as ethics or mercy, as Putin and the West demonstrate in Ukraine; and it is surprising that there is so much hullabaloo interested in an option that is not on the agenda of the Kremlin, which preserves the graves of Fidel Castro in its archives as indelible lessons.

Russia is not interested in Cuba for the following reasons:

1.- Cuba has no weight geopolitically, it is a country destroyed and turned into a zombie by six decades of crony communism.

2.- Russia remains bogged down in Ukraine and no sane person opens a front with a power like the United States; being involved in a war.

3.- The main argument used by Moscow to invade Ukraine is the expansion of NATO into its area of influence and the alignment of kyiv with the West. How would you then justify returning to Cuba, located 180 kilometers from the southeastern coast of the United States?

4.- Cuba has nothing to offer Moscow, only plantains and nostalgia for the Lourdes base, Angelito and Leónov, who could not stand Putin, as he made clear in more than one interview.

5.- Apart from bombastic statements such as gratitude for Cuba's "full understanding" of the invasion of Ukraine; Russia uses Cuba to negotiate the payment of Venezuela's large debt, immersed in a remarkable rapprochement with Washington. In exchange, it would give alms to Havana so that it can endure until the next woman and the last fight.

6.- Bowling is neither friendly nor welcome in Cuba, where the majority of its inhabitants see the United States as the promised land, which welcomes millions of supportive emigrants and sympathizes more with Betty Boop than with the Russian dolls. Sympathy has increased significantly since the ruin caused by the fall of the USSR.

7.- The Russians have bitter experiences with the financing of the Castro aircraft carrier and the most lucid remember how Fidel Castro surprised the Kremlin, warning it that the debt with the USSR had disappeared with the dissolution; as Raúl called the fall of the communist tsars. The creditor is dead, the debt is marked on ice.

Fidel Castro always knew it, but he had no choice but to swallow it with Nikita ladybug, which left him on board in October 1962, Brezhnev who forced him to support the invasion of Czechoslovakia (1968), and Andropov who lowered his temper in a talk with Raúl Castro in Moscow, who returned to Havana perestroiko and toasting Stalin.

7.- The academics and intellectuals of late Castroism use witchcraft to attend a conference in the United States and refuse to travel to neoliberal Moscow made in Putin.

For the forgetful, pastry chefs, pan composers, agents of influence and worms; fantasizing about Russian roulette:

2019.- Russian Prime Minister, Dmitri Medvedev, He denied that his country was going to install a Russian military base in Cuba, and clarified that this issue was not discussed during his two-day visit to Havana

2018.- The Russian Government described as "pure fiction" the recent information that indicated that Moscow could reopen its former military base in Cuba faced with the danger that the United States, which is threatening to withdraw from the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, would place its missiles on European territory.

2002.- Fidel Castro in Granma: (...) "The Russian urgency, as they expressed, was due to the desire for President Putin to appear at the meeting with President Bush at the Asia-Pacific Cooperation Forum in Shanghai, bringing with him these two pieces of news.

"Anyone understands how pleasant they are for their interlocutor: that of Cam Ranh, although inconsequential in reality, very symbolic; that of Cuba, a special gift.

"Therefore, the agreement on the Lourdes Radioelectronic Center is not cancelled, since Cuba has not given its approval, and it will be necessary for Russia to continue negotiating with the Cuban Government, taking into account that there are important issues to be resolved in relation to the issue. ...".

But lovers of Russian roulette will continue to blur their pages and get paid to decipher the bread and butter to the delight of the pirates of the Caribbean, who will spread the enemy rumor among their victims; We are not alone, the revolution has important allies; while those helpless old men, stuffed with useless medals and ailments, will run to their warehouses plundered by the creative resistance and, raising their emaciated arms, will announce the good news: Next month a ship of Russian meat is entering!...
