Where did you get that? If the U.S. gave the world nuclear bomb,aids, ebola ,internet,etc what do you think they've in their arsenal?
Am no U.S. defender but no country can match their military might currently, even in the next 100 years.

I would hesitate to call it posturing
Oh, it is, Russia knows they can be kept busy in Ukraine for a decade ala Afghanistan and achieve nothing at the end of it
Cuban deployment is Russia's trump card.
I ask again, has Cuba said anything about this?
Two, Russia is the only country that can match the US in both conventional and non-conventional conflicts.
There really cannot be conventional war between two nuclear powers, all there is proxy wars and "military advisors on the ground"
China is quietly courting Russia for advanced weapon systems. Such technologies, coupled with huge financial resources, will change the power balance in a big way.
On this you are right, Russia has a good defense industry, finances is what is pulling them back. But for whatever reason they are not too tight with Beijing, both parties recognise each other strengths lakini consumation bado

Maybe there's a long-term plan from Moscow that isn't very clear yet.
Remember we also had Russians flying into Wilson Airport in the dead in 2020?

World is slowly becoming communist politically but capitalist economically. Kenya we are just harloting.

I would hesitate to call it posturing. The possibility of such deployment has been under consideration since NATO started its eastward expansion, and most groundwork is already in place. Cuban deployment is Russia's trump card. Two, Russia is the only country that can match the US in both conventional and non-conventional conflicts. Although the US has a huge defense budget, it suffers from divided attention, where it has to strategize against a dozen enemies. On the other hand, all of Russia's defense investments are solely focused on the US. That explains why the US has to play catch-up to Russia in some advanced weaponry.

For instance, Russia is already developing defenses against hypersonic missiles while the US is yet to develop its own hypersonic missiles. As for China, it is tomorrow's threat, and a lethal at that given its resources. China is quietly courting Russia for advanced weapon systems. Such technologies, coupled with huge financial resources, will change the power balance in a big way.
Russia remains the only country in the world that can turn the US into ashes. A nuclear wasteland that would be devoid of life and uninhabitable for the next 5 million years.

To Americans and their exceptionalism, no one should have this capability but them and it irks them so much. Full spectrum dominance doesn't envision a near power adversary.
Sasa enter Chinese with their industrial might high IQ, massive economy and the world is headed for very interesting times.
The US will have to climb down from unilateralism and accept a multipolar world wapende wasipende

True. On the part of invading Ukraine, it would be a long shot with no obvious benefits.
I ask again, has Cuba said anything about this?
There are indications that this possibility has been discussed in detail in past years. The fact that Russia can make such statements means Cuba's assent is not a presumption. Remember, Russia has been Cuba's guarantor against US invasion since the Cuban missile crisis. Even though Russia abandoned communism, it has continued to prop Cuba financially, obviously because of the Island's strategic position. For Cuba, hosting Russia would mean more income, security, and a good incentive for the US to abandon sanctions against the Island.

In these proxy wars, the US never gets a free pass where Russia is involved. For instance, the Russian defense systems deployed in Iran dissuaded the US from executing spiteful incursions even when manic Trump was in charge.

Russia is worried that China will stink for everyone the moment it gets ahead. When Russia sold China its most advanced fighters last year, China had to promise not to duplicate them. Of course, no one would be totally comfortable despite the assurances because China is China.
