US general warns Russia on nuclear bombers in Cuba

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Russia would cross "a red line for the United States of America" if it were to base nuclear capable bombers in Cuba, a top US air force officer warned on Tuesday.
"If they did I think we should stand strong and indicate that is something that crosses a threshold, crosses a red line for the United States of America," said General Norton Schwartz, nominated to be the air force's chief of staff.

He was referring to a report in the newspaper Izvestia that said the Russian military is thinking of flying long-range bombers to Cuba on a regular basis in response to US plans to install missile defenses in eastern Europe.

Izvestia cited an unnamed senior Russian air force official as saying such flights were under discussion. But it was unclear whether they would involve permanent basing of nuclear bombers in Cuba, or just use of the island as a refueling stop.

In his confirmation hearing to become the air force's chief of staff, Schwartz was asked what he would recommend if Russia were to base nuclear capable bombers in Cuba.

"I would certainly offer the best military advice that we engage the Russians not to pursue that approach," he said, adding that Russia would cross a "red line" if it did.

Bruce Sterling writes on his blog.... ''The USA already crossed a Russian red-line by planning missile defenses in Eastern Europe. So: bombers in Cuba. Real weapons versus hypothetical Star Wars hokum.

I wonder what the USA plans to do to stop Russian bombers in Cuba. Boycott the Russian Olympics? Embargo Russian oil and gas? Maybe the USA will join Al Qaeda's affiliates in the Caucasus in attacking Russia.

If the USA wasn't already hip-deep in two wars, it's now gonna get plane-loads of city-busting bombs tooling over Cuba. I dunno, maybe we'll get real lucky and a giant Category 5 Greenhouse hurricane will annihilate Cuba.''
