Four Russian warships, including a nuclear-powered submarine, will arrive in Havana next week, Cuban officials said Thursday, citing “historically friendly relations” between both nations and as tensions escalate over Western military support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Cuba’s foreign ministry said in a news release that the ships will be in Havana between June 12 and June 17, noting that none of them will carry any nuclear weapons and assuring their presence “does not represent a threat to the region.”

The officials said that the Russian military presence was notable but not concerning. However, it's taking place as Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Moscow could take “asymmetrical steps” elsewhere in the world in response to President Joe Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons to strike inside Russia to protect Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.

Good job 👍
Would not surprise me if the Kremlin set up a military base and added a battalion of troops and offensive weaponry.
who didn't expect some response like this?
Well, Tony Blinken, probably....
Wait until Mexico goes BRICS.
Russian ship's don't go anywhere without a tug.
Do they have a ship that’ll actually make it that far?
Wait until Mexico goes BRICS.
><><
Not good when they do, and it’s only a matter of time.
I need to check out the newly elected Mexican female president. Probably hard core Left.
“Cuba’s foreign ministry said in a news release that the ships will be in Havana between June 12 and June 17, noting that none of them will carry any nuclear weapons and assuring their presence “does not represent a threat to the region.””
There you have it: the official denial. Then it’s settled that the Russian ships will have nukes on board.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. should be assigned to advise on policy if images from space show missiles in Cuba.
Extraordinary how Biden is demolishing the US and most of what he’s doing is under the threshold right now but when it starts unraveling people are going to have no idea what happened to them. Even more obscene is the corrupt MSM refuse to even ask any questions. To do so would possibly mean inadvertently helping Trump or Republicans. We have sunk to ideology over all else.
Oh great, now the neocon lunatics will want war with Cuba. MIC bonanza incoming.
Things that would not happen under Trump.
If we want bases and bioweapons labs along Russia’s border, I guess we can tolerate a warship visiting Cuba.
I expect them to drop off a few Hypersonics to deal with the Neocons, should the Neocons get ‘too cute’.
Why would "we" want bioweapons labs anywhere much less on the border of a nuclear armed country?
Giving the Russian navy a break from being sunk by Ukranian drones?

Cool. 4 Russkies warships. One LA class attack sub. Who wins?
Actually to stop the Russian and Chinese blue water fleets you need only sink the oceangoing tugboats they require.
