Nicaragua as a Russian military base? The opposition warns

[blue-wave]

Nicaragua is strengthening its military cooperation with the Russian Federation. The Russian parliament has ratified the agreement between the countries.

Felix Maradiaga warns that his country “is becoming a Russian military base.” He is one of 222 opposition activists who were stripped of their Nicaraguan citizenship three years ago and subsequently escaped to the United States. The agreement in question, aimed at deepening military cooperation between Nicaragua and Russia, was signed in Moscow in September 2025. On Wednesday, the document was ratified by the Russian Federation Council, the upper house of parliament. Maradiaga stated that the new agreement “disrupts the balance of power in Central America and constitutes a direct violation of the 1995 Framework Treaty on Democratic Security in Central America.”

I stumbled on this, it's the first I heard of this. And Trump is supporting Russia against Ukraine? Gee, maybe he can get a Trump tower built in Nicaragua if things go right for Putin. I'm outraged. I'm done and finished pretending this is not happening: Trump and his lackeys are destroying our country because Russia wants it to be destroyed.

1. 100% nonsense

Russia is running out of troops for its war on the people of Ukraine how are they gonna set up
a military base in Nicaragua too? And would you like to be on a Russian flagged military ship
going to Nicaragua knowing that with European satellites and Ukrainian drones you ocean cruise
might not be too nice?

2. Don't kid yourself

Many military analysts have concluded that Russia can be ready for a conflict with NATO a year or two after the Ukraine war ends. The only thing stopping Putin is if the Ukraine war continues. Is this the reason the Ukraine war drags on? The article below is one of many I've read.

3. Russia is losing a man every 5 minutes in

Ukraine right now and Putin is running scared. Those Cossaks and Crimean Tartars are tough and they are hammering the Russian economy too by attacking Russia's energy programs.
