Default Russia's Show of force off the coast of Cuba
Is anyone concerned about Russia's show of force off the coast of Cuba, just 100 miles from Florida. Wasn't it just a drill that Russia performed around the border of Ukraine?

Three Russian ships and one nuclear submarine headed to Cuba for military drills

A handful of ships to me is not a show of force just a reminder that Russia has military power.

Well, they are safer there than in the Black Sea.

I hope they don't call me back for another blockade of Cuba. Been there done that.

They have their hands full right now, I don't think they want a war with us.

"Just" being the operative word with the present situation in Ukraine.

Russia has so much confidence in their navy that they have to send a rescue tug to accompany a frigate and a submarine.

Not really a big deal IMHO. Show of force, we did it all the time in the Med, probably still do. They would cut across our bow in a game of chicken. International waters, so let them play their games under a watchful eye.
Their surface fleet isn't all that great, sub force ..... well that's another story. They don't even have a capable aircraft carrier.

My concern or lack of concern will have no impact on what happens.

I learned a long time ago not to worry about things that I have no control over.

It really isn't a show of force...more like a "how do you like it?"

The nuclear sub is a big show of force. That one sub can wipe out at least 10 states!
