Russia Could Deploy Oreshnik Missiles to Cuba as Response to Tomahawk Transfers
08.10.2025 19:43Russia could place the long-range Oreshnik missile system in Cuba, a move Moscow might use to respond to any U.S. decision to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, suggested Colonel Viktor Baranets, a commentator for the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
Put the Gun to the US — Again
Baranets argued that Russia repeatedly warned the United States and NATO not to move closer to its borders. Stationing Oreshnik systems on Cuban soil, he wrote, would let Moscow “again put a gun to the fatty backside of the USA.” He also proposed that Moscow could restore not only an electronic-intelligence centre on the island but also bases for ground, naval, and air forces.

Confucianism isn’t really concerned with metaphysics. The Confucian rites are similar to the definition of rites in ancient Rome: about performance and the cementing of social cohesion.
Metaphysics and idealism are interconnected. Modern Materialism was born in England and Germany, but it started in Greece, and in some way, it influenced the Romans. It is out of the main topic
I am just repeating the phrase used by Enver Hoxha, who was trying to say that the so-called Mao Tse Tung thought was not materialistic, it was metaphysical and backward, and the so-called Mao Tse Tung thought became a religion to worship one individual like a god

“…and sought to reproduce those conditions”?The 1960s saw the very opposite in China, with both production and education stalled for years, as the young were turned loose on the elderly in a rampage of state-orchestrated violence and murder.

And the close of the 1950s saw the biggest deliberately inflicted famine, combined with kill quotas, aimed at decimating the rural population.————————————————————————————-
That is totally correct. The Chinese capitalists need capital injections from Western and US investors, and it was part of the four modernisations after the coup against the Gang of Four.
Some Maoist groups said that the Chinese Revolution was given by Mao on a red carpet when Richard Nixon visited China
During the 1950=60 there was a great peasant resistance, and many peasants were killed and suffered famine
Those who have followed Chinese capitalism since the 1950s- 1960s know that it was the most difficult period for the Chinese workers and the Chinese students and youth
I don’t think L Bird followed that period during the controversy with Russia and Albania.
During that period, China went through a period of stagnation, which is the reason why the leaders looked for foreign investment.
The so-called Cultural Revolution was like following a Confucian religion; even more, Enver Hoxha said that Maoism was the modern Confucianism and brought China back to the old period.

That’s precisely what the Chinese acknowledged about the USA in 1960 (high taxes, high government spending, high profits, wealthy workers), and sought to reproduce those conditions.———————————————————————————
Another distortion, the higher period of taxation in the US was during the administration of Roosevelt.
The Congress approved 85%, and there was great resistance from the capitalist class. And most of that surplus value was used to finance the war and to finance the superstructure, and to implement certain social democratic reforms like unemployment insurance, Social Security and workers’ compensation.
The Chinese should have known Marx’s conception of taxation, and you should know that too, and that the capitalist state is financed with surplus value.
There weren’t any wealthy workers; workers were able to buy certain home appliances, new cars, homes financed by the Veterans Administration, Federal Housing Administration and some neighbourhoods were built for war veterans. They were provided to pacify the workers. Many of those reforms have been reversed
Manufacturing production was expanded and applied to the war efforts. After that period, there was a small boom which lasted until 1970, and most factories were exported to China, India, Brazil and Vietnam, but workers were still wage slaves; they did not become wealthy.
That manufacturing expansion produced the importation of foreign workers for low-paying jobs and the creation of ethnic neighbourhoods, and part of that process was reversed through the so-called gentrification and the real estate boom
The expressions progressive and progressivism have different meanings, and the concept came from England, and it was also applicable to the USA by the so-called liberals thinkers, but it has nothing to do with socialism, as the leftists have applied it,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism.
Progressive means capitalist socialdemócrats reforms
It is like Lenin saying that state capitalism was beneficial for the working class. It was progressive for the Chinese in comparison with the despotic Asiatic mode of production, which Mao falsely called feudalism. ism
Chinese capitalists have not done anything that the US and European capitalists have not done, and still, they have not obtained the same level of capitalist development. And workers are still living in extreme poverty. During the post-war boom, the USA had a much better standard of living within the framework of a capitalist society.
TWC has published and compiled very real economic statistics and Marxist explanations about China vs other advanced capitalist nations; they are much better than those published by Richard Wolff, who is always praising the Chinese capitalist economy
In Chile, the right wing is going to defeat the left wing. The so-called Post fascism was only a tactic to obtain votes for Boric, and the leftist coalition did not obtain the majority of seats in the congress. The individual in charge of the army is a member of the central committee of the Communist Party, the same army used by Augusto Pinochet to overthrow Salvador Allende. The so-called Pink Tide is getting smaller. If they have a democratic election in Venezuela and Cuba, the right-wing will also defeat the left-wing

A situation similar to this one can take place again. They continue borrowing money, they can replace the national currency with the US dollar, and the economic crisis will continue.
They have done that in other countries in Latin America, and poverty, unemployment, emigration, and economic crisis have continued.
The problem is capitalism. The left-wingers ( Trotskyists, Castroists, Gramscists) think that replacing the president with one of their own is the solution, but they have also been kicked out by the workers.
Like the prior left-wing and Peronist governments
The US is planning to extend a $20 billion loan to Argentina in support of President Javier Milei.
During his political campaign, he said that he was not going to increase the ‘national debt”, but he has borrowed more money from the IMF
Javier Milei deepens Argentina’s IMF debt trap with ‘emergency’ loan
Argentina’s president drops his chainsaw.
In this forum, it was indicated that the election of the president of Argentina will show that anarcho capitalism does not work; a stateless capitalist society is just a fallacy.

President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced on social media Friday that they bombed another boat in the Caribbean—at least the fourth alleged drug-smuggling vessel attacked by the US military since early September.
Critics, including congressional Democrats, legal scholars, and human rights groups, have stressed that even if any of the boats recently bombed by the Trump administration were trafficking drugs, the strikes still violate international and federal law. Such criticism has not deterred the administration.
Tito Puente a famous musician from New York graduated from the Juliard School of Music made a new musical arrangement and the song became famous when it was interpreted by La Lupe.
It is like Bachata which was called Ghettos music and music for prostitutes, and a famous musician graduated from Juliard School of Music made it popular and everybody now ( including the aristocacy ) is dancing and singing Bachatas, the original musicians died in poverty and he became a millionaire and he is evangelical
