i sorta think this ain't a real good move for Cuba.
America is still pretty darn important in the waters around Cuba.
So why intentionally piss off the biggest guy on the block.
Now, to be sure, Russia could very well have 'sweetened-the-pot' and incentivized Cuba to allow this little demonstration. I get it. Cuba should have gotten something from Russia for this act.
Still, it can't warm Cuban & American relations.
BTW, reports are that these same Russian ships will next visit Venezuela.
Can we conjecture that Russia navy is smarting from the damage Ukraine has inflicted upon it in the Black Sea and this is a way to say...."See, we still got game"?
At least there should be no Ukrainian missiles aimed at 'em in Havana Harbor or Port of Caracas or Cabello. One would think?
