Three war vessels from Russia’s Baltic Fleet arrived in Havana, Cuba, this weekend for a four-day “work visit” to the communist nation that will reportedly conclude on Tuesday.
The Russian state news agency Tass reported on Saturday that the three Russian Baltic Fleet warships — identified as the training ship Smólny, the patrol ship Neustrahimiy, and the offshore oil tanker Yelnya — will conduct an “extensive program” during its four-day port call that includes courtesy visits to officials from the Cuban Navy and other authorities of the communist Castro regime.

Doesn't Cuba have the right to decide what ships dock in its port? Doesn't Ukraine have the right to put any weapons systems on its territory that Biggie Bidet's handlers want? Doesn't Absentia of Cortex have the right dress and act any way she wants?
Or is Balance of Power the operative principle? And competence?

#1--as one poster on BB commented, park an Ohio-class submarine off the coast of Russia and see what happens. Russia was the evil conspirator with Trump when he ran and was POTUS. Now, braindead biden nor kamalahahaha have no clue. To them it's no big deal.

It's Bay of Pigs all over again. This time, we've got no muscle behind our threats. Pathetic, what Democrats have done to our military readiness and personnel.

Did they bring their sea going tug? In the past their ships break down so often that they bring their own "tow truck" with them to haul it back to fix it when it craps out.

They know they have but a few months to go up against Pampers and Knee Pads before Trump gets in.

Would the US government have the intestinal fortitude to put up another blockade of Cuba should the need arise? Saw a story yesterday. Putin says he would reciprocate if the US put long range missiles in Germany.
Guess that would mean missiles in Cuba (or possibly Venezuela). Personally thought we already had long range missiles in Germany.

No. 7: For Harris, the morning briefing is when she dons her underpants. They have to have the day of the week printed on them so she knows when it’s Tuesday.

Not surface ships, but rather, "targets."

A frigate, a training ship, and an oiler. It's not projecting force, it's just showing the flag. I feel bad for the sailors... to go that far just to see Cuba as the liberty port? At least send them up to Miami so they can have some fun!

If they haven't already, they will soon find out that Cuban cigars are overrated.

Go ahead, Russia, park them all in one place. The US Navy learned that lesson in 1942. You could station an Ohio class (or its new replacement) off the coast of Russia for months and they would not know it was there. Putin is just flexing his muscles during our period of absent leadership.

Shades of 1961. The Ruskies have only one playbook.
