"Is there a commonality between Raul Castro's visit to Moscow and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's cockiness toward President Obama? Are our enemies preparing to test America's new leadership? On Wednesday, Cuban premier Castro, brother of the ailing Fidel, arrived in Russia on an eight-day visit aimed at strengthening ties between the two anti-U.S. regimes.
The visit comes a month after three Russian warships visited Cuba and Venezuela and two months after Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited Havana. The Russian ships had engaged in joint operations with the Venezuelan navy. Before departing on his present trip, Raul described Cuban-Russian relations as "wonderful." Cuba supported Russia in opposing the Bush administration's policy to install missile defenses in Europe and extend NATO membership to Georgia and Ukraine."
