Raul Castro: Voice of Reason
This story is not technically a matter of Russian military history, but Raul Castro was Cuban defense minister for almost fifty years, and so there indeed are Soviet ties. My chief purpose for posting this link to note that it’s Castro who serves as the voice of moderation and calm in the Colombian-Venezuelan spat.
Obscene shouting match at the Unity Summit? I’m reminded of the great line from Dr. Strangelove: “You can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”
