  • The message is, play games on other people's borders and be prepared to have the same done to you.
  • The last time something like this happened there was a world crisis, now the US has to take it on the chin.

    Russia has been sending ships to Cuba for a long time just like Russia has been flying Bombers towards US shores forever.
  • Its easy to see Putin's obvious symptoms of Stress, but that worries me, he could totally lose it and go ballistic.

    Why is this a news when we have base all over the world..
  • @JS-rn1tj
    The ships stopped by to get a re-supply of Cuban cigars. There's nothing to worry about.

    Russian subs are always close to the US!! Why do you think they have them??

    Putin has put his Navy Far Far away from Ukrainian Drones...

    More like he was hoping those Cuban mechanics who've kept all those 1950s cars running around Havana might be able to do some upkeep on those old Russian boats.

    Trump and the GOP would back Putin even if he attacked the US.
  • Putin to Russian Navy - "Hide the ships in Cuba. Ukraine's missile can't reach there."
  • What message is Putin trying to send? That some of his ships still float?
  • What message is America trying to send to Russia by what they are doing in neighbouring Ukraine?
