Russian strategic threats to the United States via Latin America

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Disputed PROD. The article has many issues, such as no lead, it isn't POV, but most importantly, contains original research and unpublished synthesis. The existence of Cuba in the article is problematic, as has to do with the Soviet Union, not Russia, and the rest of the information in the article could be covered succinctly in Russia–Venezuela relations and Russia – United States relations neutrally - "Russian strategic threats to the United States via Latin America" could more easily be called "Russian expansion of influence in Latin America" or "Russia-Latin American relations" (an NPOV title) - but this article has too many problems to stay on Wiki.

 * Delete as an overly specific nexus of subjects, an inappropriate content fork of Cuban Missile Crisis, and original research. If treated as a list, it would also be a topic too narrow to support an appropriate list article per WP:LIST and WP:SALAT. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:22, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This appears to be an essay that sets out to find parallels between Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, and between 1962 and 2010. I can think of plenty of places where the information about Russian military forces visiting Venezuela can be mentioned, such as Russia-Venezuela relations, or in the Chavez article, or possibly an article about the increasing presence.  But forget about trying to educate us about the Cuban Missile Crisis in order to make analogies.  Mandsford (talk) 13:26, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
