Four Russian warships including a nuclear submarine have reached Cuba, just 200 miles off the coast of Florida, ahead of a planned military exercise in the Atlantic.
The fleet — made up of a frigate, a nuclear-powered submarine, an oil tanker and a rescue tug — arrived in Havana Bay on Wednesday, welcomed by a 21-cannon salute from Cuba.

Wonder what JOE is going to do about this. Maybe send 80 billion dollars to Cuba.
Oh no! A full mobilization of Cuban military might!
“including a nuclear submarine”
That’s the only one you know about. Guaranteed there’s another 4-5 boomers in the Gulf.
Kinda makes you sober up from the sword rattling a little, don’t it?
Dramatic images from the arrival show the ominous and massive vessels entering the bay as Cubans lined up on the streets to take a picture of the Kremlin’s nautical forces.
Some civilians could be seen wrapped up in Russian flags, with the frigate ship in turn flying the Kremlin and Cuba’s colors as its sailors stood in formation while approaching the island nation.
The sub in Cuba was identified as the Kazan, a Yasen-class nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Wednesday that the US is closely monitoring the Russian military drills in the Atlantic, adding that there is no evidence that Russia is transferring any missiles to Cuba.
Experts believe the exercise is a show of force from the Kremlin after the US allowed Ukraine to fire American-made weapons inside Russia in order to defend Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
“The warships are a reminder to Washington that it is unpleasant when an adversary meddles in your near abroad,” said Benjamin Gedan, director of the Latin America Program at the Washington-based Wilson Center think tank.
“It also reminds Russia’s friends in the region, including US antagonists Cuba and Venezuela, that Moscow is on their side,” he added.

Obama put 12 secret military installations on the Ukraine Russian border. Why are Democrats trying to provoke war with Russia?
Who cares.
Probably had to carry extra parts from a couple Yugos and Lada’s to get there...
Do our carrier battle groups sail with a “rescue tug”??
“That’s the only one you know about. Guaranteed there’s another 4-5 boomers in the Gulf.”
Why would they have 5 in the Gulf?
Just checking out the shore-leave potential in Venezuela. Nothing to worry about.
The Russian Navy wasn’t it all sunk by Ukraine???...
Don’t worry President Retard will make sure the Villiage People are watching them
Elections have consequences.

If they're so secret, how do you know about 'em?
yup joe
you gave ukrain midrange missels to strike early warning radar sites deep in russia
now russian boomers are sitting next to us and can smoke us all

madmen
One is a supply ship. One is a tug.
Imagine having a Navy so good, that you send out three ships and have to include a tug.
This is more pathetic than it is scary.
