Russia is expected to begin naval, air exercises in Caribbean, U.S. official says

The U.S. expects Russia to begin air and naval exercises in the Caribbean in the coming weeks, according to a U.S. official.

The exercises, which will involve Russian warships and long-range bombers, will be the first simultaneous air and naval maneuvers Russia has conducted in the Caribbean since 2019. The U.S. is interpreting them as a response to American support for Ukraine and stepped-up U.S. exercises with NATO allies.

However, the exercises have been planned for some time, the official said, and it seems unlikely they are a response to President Biden's recent partial lifting of the ban against the use by Ukraine of U.S.-provided weapons against targets inside Russia. The Miami Herald first reported Russia's expected plans for air and naval exercises in the Caribbean.

I was in GITMO when the first Cuban Missile Crisis hit. We need a strong leader to stand up to Putin.

How many Russian sailors will land in Puerto Rico or the Keys claiming asylum?

Or, more likely, will there be a large increase at the Mexico border of Russians claiming asylum?

That’s my point, Biden is NOT a strong leader, and we WILL have missiles/Russian troops in Cuba if the deep state machine keeps him in the white house.

Watch as a “Ukrainian” Drone attacks Russian ship and sinks it off Cuba. An English Rocket from an English sub. That will show Putin who rules the waves.

Good bet, that or Panama or Venezuela. A few nukes on high speed missiles could do some damage. EMP attack to cripple us. Turn off the internet and people would go crazy.

So you are assuming that this smoking crap will actually make it to get there. Additionally, you are assuming that Cubans are stupid enough to go to bed with that HIV infected whore.

They did it before. Cuba under sanctions from USA will do anything to get some support from another land. We should not be so arrogant to think we are that much superior to any nation. We once thought we could beat Japan in a few weeks and that Pearl Harbor was a fortress. Do you think we could win a nuke war with Russia? FOOL. Bet you think Ukraine is winning her war causing so many Russian deaths the Russian people will revolt against Putin and beg for peace from the USA? I hope your right.
