Russia surprises America with a new strategic move in its backyard
An American media report indicated that Russia surprised the United States with a new strategic move.
According to the report published by the newspaper "The Hill", Russia surprised America with its relations with Nicaragua.
Earlier, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega allowed a temporary presence in the country for the foreign army, including from Russia, for humanitarian purposes.
Forces of Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico and El Salvador received the same permission.
We are talking here not only about the deployment of ground forces, but also about the temporary deployment of warships and aircraft.
The report added that this may be the first significant appearance of Russian forces in Central America, which constitutes the backyard of the United States, and will serve as the basis for a stronger Russian military presence in Nicaragua.
The report stated that despite the fact that the US military also obtained permission, it is unlikely that the United States would send its army to Nicaragua, but it was likely that Russia, Cuba and Venezuela would take advantage of this opportunity.
The article pointed out that if Russia sent warships to Nicaragua, the two parties could conclude an agreement in the future to host the Russian fleet on a permanent basis, and this could lead to Moscow having naval bases in Central America.
In addition, Russia adheres to global tactics, it establishes economic and military relations with developing countries, and thus is gaining influence abroad, and this came as a surprise to the United States, and the writer said:
Russia was able to develop this strategy despite its economic limitations, because America did not pay enough attention to the events in these countries.
The article concluded that it sees a way out in Washington's rethinking of the approach of the Latin American countries with which it is impossible to find a common language, as these countries have become increasingly important in the struggle of the great powers.
The Summit of the Americas concluded last week, a meeting of heads of state and government of the Americas, which takes place every few years.
This year's forum was held in Los Angeles.
Delegations from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela were not invited to the event.
In this regard, the leaders of a number of Latin American countries, including Mexico, decided to refuse to participate in the summit.
