Cuba put US on notice with Monday's massive war games
12-12-2004, 19h46


Adalberto Roque - (AFP/File)
HAVANA (AFP) - Cuba's armed forces are gearing up for their biggest military exercises in almost 20 years, with hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of civilians expected to take part, officials here said.

General Leonardo Andollo told reporters on Sunday that MiG-29 jets, anti-aircraft batteries were to be deployed during the weeklong exercises meant to be a warning to Washington that Cuba would vigorously defend itself against US aggression.

The mass war games start Monday and are due to run through to December 19.

Senior military and Communist government officials here warned that the administration of US President George W. Bush should take note of the island's war footing.

"The determination of the US administration to destroy the (Cuban) revolution however they can, including militarily, determines the necessity of conducting these exercises," Andollo, the deputy chief of Cuba's Armed Revolutionary Forces (FAR), said.

1. We're on Notice Again
They always put our administrations, no matter who they are, on notice.

This topic has been reposted in LBN.

I'd like to know if you respond to that thread, how Cuba has put previous administrations on notice. I've never heard that before, and it surely hasn't prevented the U.S. from conducting overt assaults on the island and its people, and numerous covert raids spanning DECADES, not to mention turning it's head while the Cuban "exile" extremists, many CIA trained, many Bay of Pigs vets have conducted terrorism against Cubans not only in Cuba but all over the world, including government officials of OTHER countries who have been friendly to Cuba.

I'd like to know more about Cuba's aggressive behavior.

The thread in LBN is:
