To be in place if war starts to hit Florida and Norfolk Naval Base. Might give hot head neo-cons pause when contemplating war. It could help cement Cuba support for war with USA. With our focus on Eastern Europe invading Cuba might be a bridge too far.
Oh, goody. An opportunity to update our ELINT and collect new acoustic signatures for our attack subs to use.
If the Russians want to expend critical resources on nonsense during a war then let them.
