The last time Russia did this, one of their ships broke down and had to be towed back home.
... and other activities? Ooh la la.
Happily we are enjoying a steady hand at the helm of our ship of state in these unsettled times. /s
As I recall, the U.S. military position is to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons on our nuclear-weapon capable ships, planes etc; does Russia not do the same?
Or are they just hedging against another Cuban Missile crisis type situation developing?
Before the election, we will have Russian missiles in Cuba again. Good job to Biden and the DC neocons.
The Russians want to hang out at a cool Havana bar like Colin Farrell did in the Miami Vice movie. 😁
Proxy Wars have consequences.
IMHO, Biden (actually the 2020 Cabal) is doing everything he/they can to escalate the Ukraine problem to fire up Russia even going nuclear so US voters “won’t want to change horses in mid-stream” in the 2024 election run up.
You read it here first. ;-)
Russia’s navy is short on spare parts, short on funds, short on trained sailors (many have been sent to Ukraine), and I say let them go.
A silly show-the-flag exercise during what is now a major war for Russia is the perfect use for their precious resources.
It’ll also clear some of their ships out of the Baltic. Now the trick will be keeping them out with pesky environmental inspections and etc.
Did they sail through the NATO lake that is the Baltic or the NATO controlled Bosphorus and Gibraltar straight, or around the Horn of Africa or Magellan passage around South America from Vladivostok through the Tsushima straight controlled by US and Japan.
The Russian navy is useless.
