Isn’t the Iranian flotilla headed to Cuba?

Why would they drop off something that their subs can deliver easier if they wanted? I read this and think, Russians in Cuba, so what else is new.

I assumed from the headline that warships do not frequent there. Maybe I'm wrong.

A ship assigned to the Russian Northern Fleet docks in Havana near the tourist docks in February? There may be a simple explanation. I doubt they had to ask twice for volunteers for the mission.

"Was in Omaha at the time (SAC base) and we all figured we were toast if the missiles started to fly."

I was a Marine in Key West (actually Boca-Chica Key) and we were locked and loaded, ready to go in on a moments notice.

We figured once the missles started flying Florida would be off the map.

I passed about 150 yards astern of this ship Saturday at about 10-10:30 am about 20 miles off Palm Beach. We were headed in from Lucaya,should have taken pics.

Yeah while Cuba is 90-110 miles from the Keys a small reef structure and set of islands controlled by the Bahamas are even closer and within easy reach of the Keys.Cay Sal and the Cay Sal Bank.

Not a recent pic but this is the ship, apparently

Well, the US is meeting with leaders of countries neighboring Russia (Georgia, Moldova) to discuss closer ties between them and the West, so the Russians are returning the favor.

It’s not just Israel though… the Great Satan is definitely in Iran’s battle plans for war. They have been strengthening ties with Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia – guaranteed to bring terrorism to our homefront and Obama will have American blood all over his hands – again.

I was just kidding boattrash1 but thanks.

[BOATTRASH1]

Wish I had taken some but didn’t. Too busy looking w the binoculars to verify it wasn’t dragging anything and altering course to pass eastern. Already back home from the boat or I could take a pick of the GPS track that would show the course change.
