Man, I don't understand Russia/Soviet Union, PERIOD,...although Grenada was under a Marxist-Leninist, socialist government, during the invasion of Grenada by the U.S the Soviet Union was not present militarily and offered no direct defense, and they deemed the island of low strategic value. Instead, Soviet involvement was limited to diplomatic support for Grenada. I'm sure Maurice Bishop flipped in his grave over Russia's lack of military intervention.

Now what happened when Saddam invaded and attacked Kuwait in 1991? (Kuwait an ally of the U.S)

hahahaha, I don't need to go there, you got the full picture now. Can't trust Russia when it comes to the real deal(protection). Soviet Union did not PROTECT Patrice Lumumba although he was a temporary alliance with the Soviet Union during the 1960 Congo Crisis. Lumumba counted on the Soviet support which caused the West to view him as a threat!!

Russia/Soviet is full of shiit, no where around when you need it. Russia might talk the good talk like they doing now with Trump telling him to leave Cuba alone and to get out of there, but bottom line Russia will not militarily intervene on this Cuban blockade.
