CUBA - A U.S. Navy nuclear-powered fast attack submarine has arrived in Guantanamo Bay, near the American base in Cuba as part of what U.S. Southern Command says is a "routine visit", but coincides with a visit by four Russian naval vessels, including one of its nuclear-powered submarines, which Moscow says is intended to send a message to Washington, along with its recent joint nuclear exercises with Belarus.

This is also on AP, ABC, etc...

Pretty odd how this is kinda sneaking up on us, in view of the Cuban Missile Crisis that the world thought was The End in the 1960's.

As Russian Warships Threaten Florida Coast, Biden Responds Decisively To Ensure Safety Of All Pride Murals!
The Bee ^ | June 13, 2024 | Staff

MIAMI, FL — In the wake of the sighting of a Russian naval flotilla not far from the coast of Florida, President Biden, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, has swiftly and competently reacted to the situation in order to defend his top security priority: all of the Florida Pride murals.

According to National Security sources, the Russian task force which includes a nuclear submarine and a frigate could pose a threat to US sovereignty, but more importantly, they might splash water - or even leave tire tracks - on gay pride murals. The National Guard and the Coast Guard have been ordered to dispatch troops to keep a 24-hour watch on all Pride murals within a 250-mile radius of the Russian ships.

“Rest assured, Americans,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in an emergency press conference. “President Biden is doing everything within his power to make sure that American assets are protected and secure in the face of Russian saber-rattling - especially the most precious national symbol of all: our pride murals!”

President Biden later confirmed the decision in a brief speech. “You know them warships in Mexico, Jack? They’re just dog-faced, lying pony soldiers! REPEAT THE LINE. We’ll make sure that they can’t take any of their malarkey against our Gaza Pride folx!”

At publishing time, Biden’s security team had been horrified to hear rumors of Russian threats to misgender kindergarteners and interrupt drag queen story hours. Sources report that government security agents have been posted to defend vital national interests like abortion clinics and gender transition centers.

“A high stakes chess match.”

At least we aren’t having underwater collisions like we had in the 70’s.

It depends on who’s piloting our sub- we haven’t had any surface collisions lately.

U.S. Southern Command released a statement that said:

“The fast-attack submarine USS Helena is in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as part of a routine port visit as it transits the U.S. Southern Command geographic area of responsibility while conducting its global maritime security and national defense mission. The vessel’s location and transit were previously planned.”

Although the United States stated that the Russian visit to Cuba did not pose a threat to the U.S. and that none of the vessels appeared to be carrying nuclear weapons, the ships were shadowed and tracked by the U.S. forces during their voyage to the port in Havana, Cuba.

For those who weren’t around for the Cuban Missile Crisis, the movie ‘Matinee’ gives a good feel for it. Especially the fantasy of being locked in the fallout shelter with the pretty girl from school.

That’s only the submarine we want them to know about. There’s likely plenty there that they don’t know about. It’s a good opportunity for training exercises.

That’s only the submarine we want them to know about...

The ships/sub Russia sent is the only ones they want us to "know" about.

While one side moves a pawn forward, the other side matches with their pawn forward. Each though has more detailed plans for their other pieces...
