Russian warships will soon arrive in the Caribbean basin. Moscow, Beijing and Managua are launching large-scale military cooperation. The parties entered into a contract, on the basis of which there will be a channel built to connect the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. The new channel will be named after one of the participating countries - Nicaragua. The channel will be ready in five years. Experts have called this move a thorn in the side of the USA. After all, Russia will be able to get closer to the borders of the United States.
