What do we expect.....what is our commitment to them, them to us? The Russian bear has been there for that country for the last half century...building trust and alliances.

We fought Cuban military operatives in Angola decades ago SGT John Rauch.
My wife escaped from Cuba in the 1960's as a teenager after her dad had been imprisoned in a concentration/reeducation camp for allowing a cow to be slaughtered.
My mother-in-law and her brothers just finished pooling together money to pay for medical supplies and medicine for a sister with advanced cancer in Cuba since Cuba does not take care of all of its citizens - like communist countries everywhere some are more equal than others.
Cuba has not renounced state-sponsored terrorism and they still use a high percentage of their GDP for military purposes including advisory operations.

LTC Bink Romanick - Before Fall of USSR Cubas life line was USSR (Russia) after that it was Venezuela but since the fall of oil price Venezuela can not do that any more. So who will be paying for deployment, I know that they deploy allot of doctors to 3 world countries and they did deploy military advisors to Africa in the 80's but they were quite quiet in 90 and 2000. What do they have to gain?

LTC Bink Romanick - for cuba, I think it is to show support to the hand that feeds them more than anything.
