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 reminding us they are there

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

The missiles of "June"?

As a wise man once said we do live in interesting times

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?"

No concern at all.

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