Russian oil companies could soon begin searching for oil in deep Gulf of Mexico waters off Cuba, a top diplomat said just days before Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visits the island.
Russian oil companies have "concrete projects" for drilling in Cuba's part of the gulf, said Mijail Kamynin, Russia's ambassador to Cuba, to the state-run business magazine Opciones.

i am so confused
They might as well. Our “government” is not interested in using it. Maybe they can sell some of it to us so they’ll have the funds to rebuild their military.
Why don’t we allow the Rissians to drill in North Dakota, WE WON’T, ESPECIALLY WITH THESE NIMRODS IN CHARGE.
Gee Barok sir, Why do those oil derricks look like missle silos and radar sites??????
Yet enviro-socialists in this country refuse to let us drill in virtually the same waters.
I dare the eco-freeks to take them down. Let them come in their rubber dingies and see them get shot to pieces by the Cuban/Russian guards.....not THATS entertainment!!!
Hell, let ‘em look off California. We won’t.
Its part of an Oil Rush in that region, I saw it coming, why hasn’t our government? China is in there too. I guess we can afford not to do anything, so why bother. They will be drilling 100 miles from us and we can’t?? Go figure, why make life easy on us?
I wonder how many US dollars that flowed into Russia for oil and gas have flowed back out again into Swiss bank accounts held by Democrat members of Congress? Billions? Maybe just millions? I’d like to think the Democrats made *something* for selling us out in energy policy, and didn’t just destroy America for giggles.
Hey, if Pelosi and her incompetent buffoons and flying monkeys will not drill in the same waters then the Russians and the Chinese will be happy to do so.
And Maybe Sarah Palin can invite the Russians to drill in Alaska given that the US gov’nmnt will not do so.
Isn’t Cuba one of those teeny tiny countries?
bttt
its all red so its all progressive go back to work
Somebody might as well drill for it. We won’t. Maybe if we really lay ourselves low at the Russians’ feet they might let us buy some of it at a discount. /s
And who’s going to stop them? Not a black mulsim communist.
The Ruskies might as well drill for it and use it. We’re not going to now.
I’m surprised Obama, Reid and Pelosi haven’t already signed over all offshore drilling rights to the Chinese and Russians already. Oh, wait — Obama isn’t really president yet.
