Cold War games?
In a throwback to the Cold War, a Russian spy ship caused a stir after unexpectedly docking in Havana on the eve of historic talks between the U.S. and Cuba.
There was nothing stealthy about the arrival of the Viktor Leonov CCB-175, which was moored to a pier in Old Havana where cruise ships often dock.

Maybe the ship will head on down to Guantanamo to take jihadis back to Syria once Obama kisses them goodbye.
Will History repeat itself?
Pretty nice spy ship. When I was in the Navy they used old Russian fishing trawlers all tricked out with antennas.
Playing games? Yeah, the’re gonna shoot the back nine together.
Nah, this is not another Maine. I think it’s just a cutesy little knock-knock message from Putin, who knows EXACTLY who and what Obama is and has less respect for him that we do.
Obama doesn’t care enough to sink this ship, or even to object to it, or even to wonder about it.
Please. Putin has Obama - and the United States of America - wrapped around his pinky. What would we do if Putin invaded the... Oh wait.
What would we do if Islamic terrorists took over the... Oh wait.
Well, say if some group kidnapped the... Oh wait.
Or if they killed a US Ambassador and invaded...
Oh wait!
...Well could we pay for a traitor?
Could we embrace communist dictators?
Could we show weakness over and over again?
Could we insult our allies?
....Naturally!
We would support terrorism!
Bravo Obama! “death to the Jews” and all that Jazz!
Give me a break...........
Love your long list of “oh waits.” All too true.
Putin has not only Obama and the US around his little red pinky, but much of the world. Forbes lists him as the most powerful man in the world for the second year running….with Obama an extremely distant second, running about 234 laps behind.

I can’t see the picture or whatever posted. Just got the dreaded tiny blue box. Can you just post a link?
The guys on deck are not wearing uniforms. What year was this rusty thing built?

The SSV-175 Viktor Leonov was built in 1988, apparently.

Ohh goody, they will post from my minimac, at least one at a time.
“Russian spy ship docks unannounced in Havana on eve of historic US-Cuba talks”
How rude, the spy ship didn’t announce it’s itinerary./
Journalism at it’s idiotic finest. When HAS a spy ship, from ANY nation, announced it’s movements? lol
to who??? we knew it was there, what'd they expect it to do, send up a flare???
There was nothing stealthy about it. There wasn’t anything unexpectedly about it either. That ship has been on our radar since it left it’s home dock.
Sink?! I’d have been more surprised had something like this ship NOT shown up. Not that Russia really needs it just tune into CNN and other news nets, get it for free. They are just “flying the flag”, as it were.
You gotta admit, Putins got the bigger jewels.
