WNU Editor: I am surprised by this Cuban deployment .... I did not expect it. But if true .... so much for President Obama's outreach to Cuba. This Cuban deployment is also more evidence that Syria is now a proxy war.

Who would have even thought Cuba had a military, I thought is was a poor island nation... When they mean world war they sure mean it lol
Lol just lol, maybe they're in syria to open a chain of cigar shops. Does anyone really think anybody would give a crap about a cuban general, ld be more concerned with matching wits with my 8 year old nephew playing stratego
Shades of Angola (75) and Grenada (80's).
Imagine having to live under the Castroes, and then get sent to rural Syria in an old BMP where every second rebel has a TOW launcher.
The Cubans have a small but capable force, and should not be dismissed out of hand. This will give their troop experience, I would rather fight un-blooded troops than blooded troops any day of the week. The Russians have put together a very interesting coalition in Syria, so far it is have some success, it will be interesting to see how this works in the long run. The thing about this, Cuba has declared with this act, it is still firmly in the Russian Camp.
its not real foxnews posted it
If it's real, it doesn't surprise me at all given Cuba's internationalist history. It was just a matter of time.
A good read on this is "Conflicting Missions" by Piero Gleijeses
But the God-King said Putin was stupid for having only one ally in Syria and that was Assad.
The One (per Oprah), the God-King, would never lie to us!
Let's see ... Putin Allies in Syria
Assad,
Iran,
Hezbollah,
Cuba,
& possibly China.
Obama says one.
Reality says 4+
