Another Missile Crisis. Thanks Joe.
Nicaragua’s Communist dictator, Daniel Ortega, has authorized the installation of Russian military bases on his territory. The decree is reported to have been signed on Monday, August 21, according to the Russian state news site “Avia.Pro”.
Avia.Pro reports:
The President of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, signed a decree according to which the deployment of Russian military bases and deployment of cruise missiles will be allowed in the country. This decision could become an important factor in the geopolitical balance of the region, especially given its close proximity to the United States.
The Russian news site also highlights the distance between Nicaragua and the US capital, Washington: 3000 km.
“With such proximity, missiles stationed in Nicaragua can reach the US capital in no time” – the Russian website warns.
