U.S. Sub Stops in Guantanamo Bay as Russian Navy Drills with Cubans

In shades of the Ides of the. Cuban Missile Crisis, American Naval forces were on alert as the Russian Military sent a Kazan nuclear-powered submarine to Cuba for the military demonstrations on Thursday.

Russia sent the Admiral Gorshkov frigate and the nuclear-powered sub to the communist island nation in what the Biden administration papered over as "routine maneuvers" between the Russians and Cubans.

At least Biden's weak administration did respond somehow. The Navy sent the USS Helena to our military base at Guantanamo Bay. And still, Biden put a weak face on the move, claiming that it was just a routine port visit because the ship was in the area.

Per Just The News:

Pentagon officials claimed the drills are not a concern or threat to the U.S., but that other U.S. ships have been monitoring the exercises anyways.

“This is not a surprise. We’ve seen them do these type of port calls before,” Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said Wednesday about the drills. “We of course take it seriously, but these exercises don’t pose a threat to the United States.”

The Russian ships are currently in international waters, but may sail south to visit Venezuela before returning to Russia later this summer.
