Russian warships will arrive in Havana next week, say Cuban officials citing 'friendly relations'
ABC News ^ | June 6, 2024

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.

They could put the new base at the Bay of Pigs site.

Would not surprise me if the Kremlin set up a military base and added a battalion of troops and offensive weaponry

Me neither, Russia remains an ongoing warmongering menace to all free nations of the World

Actions like that would only confirm it!

Wait until Mexico goes BRICS

Then you'll be waiting forever, because "BRICS" is merely a do-nothing talkshop, and nothing more

Enjoy that wait! LOL

I agree with what may have been a joke by another FReeper:

There will be missiles in Cuba within a month.

I’d do the same, including arming the mehican cartels.

Let’s go Brandon!

Inaccurate:

...the only sound they will hear is our laughter, while we sail to Havana, where the sun is warm, and so is the...comradeship.

America will get a 30 minute warning when the Russian missiles are inbound. It will be as a bolt from the blue, how did this happen? Those who pay attention see it as almost inevitable at this late stage of escalation.

The war ships need a friendly port to hide at. They can’t sail the Black Sea

The nukes you've been wet dreaming and yapping about for some time now. Isn't that right mighty bear killer? Take your husband and your brood down to Cuba and kill some more Russians, big mouth.

IF WW III comes it will not be just USA and NATO (what nations will join us—good bet Turkey and Hungary will not). vs Russia. It will be a cabal of nations all over who will bet involved. Cuba is one that may well go to Russia. Say good bye to the Panama Canal and the Suez as well.Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran will go with Putin. Maybe India? South Africa? Venezuela or Brazil? The big question is China and North Korea? Facing the possible invasion from North will South Korea fight? Will Japan? What of Israel? They have few reasons to help Biden. No, none of this is good. It is Double un-good.

All this talk that these Russian ships have no nukes is a sure sign that they do. What about the sub? I thought they always went to sea with a nuke or two. Wait for the next visit from Bears and a new airbase in Cuba or that crime free utopia of Venezuela.

Sounds to me like the American Empire is ending. BRAVO! Only suckers die to enrich a corrupt cabal.

Why would “we” want bioweapons labs anywhere much less on the border of a nuclear armed country?

Victoria Nuland admitted that we have bioweapons labs in Ukraine, so I assume “we” wanted it.
