Oleg Vyazmitinov. Strengthening cooperation between the Russian Federation Venezuela, Nicaragua And Cuba is, on the one hand, this proposal States strategic alternatives development, and on the reverse is in response to the attempts of the West to influence the Russian Federation force believes the Argentine expert in the field of international relations, doctor of Sciences And Professor of geopolitics Alberto Hutchenrider.
the head of the defense Ministry Sergei Shoigu visited this week, Venezuela And Nicaragua, on the last working day of the week it will arrive to Cuba. In Venezuela were achieved consensus on the conduct of military exercises And a number of other issues. In Managua signed an intergovernmental agreement on the simplified approach of military ships of the Navy of Russia to the ports of Nicaragua, as well as a number of other documents in the sphere of military-technical cooperation.
"Russia's relations with Latin America is a kind of response to the attempts of the West to influence the Russian Federation force: today on the situation in Ukraine, held in position around Georgia, in the case of NATO enlargement, on the subject of MISSILE defense AND other issues," said Hutchenrider in an interview Last news .
Central America, the Caribbean And Northern South America traditionally considered by Washington as a kind of mare nostrum (Latin." Our sea " is the title of the Mediterranean sea by the ancient Romans), reminded specialist.
against this background the signing of the Moscow agreements with Nicaragua, Venezuela And Cuba, which support the Strengthening of national capabilities And believe that Latin America should not act in key foreign interests, and to give priority to its own, showed that the Russian Federation is not only able to come close to traditionally important to the US capital region, but also to offer these countries a strategic alternative development.
the agreement on the facilitation of the entry of the military vessels of the Navy of Russia to the ports of Nicaragua, the agreement on technical And military cooperation, as well as assistance in strengthening the capacity of the Nicaraguan army are steps in this direction, says Hutchenrider.
"These agreements are not a manifestation of the" new imperialism ", it is a mistake to look at them through the prism of such ideological clich?s. Both Russia and Latin American countries diversify their global desires, And their relations in the military sphere is another step in the direction necessary to strengthen their national capacity ", - noted the expert.
