Putin is sending four Russian warships and a nuclear sub to Havana, Cuba next week in order to take part in military exercises right under Joe Biden’s nose.
Vladimir knows Joe is weak and is likely doing this because Biden authorized Ukraine to use US weapons inside Russia.
Here’s more from CBS News:
Four Russian warships, including a nuclear-powered submarine, will arrive in Havana next week, Cuban officials said Thursday, citing “historically friendly relations” between both nations, and as tensions escalate over Western military support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Cuba’s foreign ministry said in a news release that the ships will be in Havana between June 12 and June 17, noting that none of them will carry any nuclear weapons and assuring their presence “does not represent a threat to the region.”
The announcement came a day after U.S. officials said that Washington had been tracking Russian warships and aircraft that were expected to arrive in the Caribbean for a military exercise. They said the exercise would be part of a broader Russian response to the U.S. support for Ukraine.
Those exercises will likely include Russian long-range bombers flying along the U.S. East Coast, according to CBS News national security correspondent David Martin. Russian warships have made port calls in Cuba before, and warplanes have flown along the East Coast in the past as well, but this will be the first time in five years both will happen at the same time, Martin said.
The U.S. officials said that the Russian military presence was notable but not concerning. However, it’s taking place as Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Moscow could take “asymmetrical steps” elsewhere in the world in response to President Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons to strike inside Russia to protect Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
After seeing Biden’s track record of weakness and cowardice, Putin certainly isn’t worried about upsetting Joe. Why should he be? Putin could simply threaten war and Biden would leave him alone, just like he’s done before.
