Deepening ties between Russia and Cuba?

They have been tied together since the late 50s.

This is my thinking as well. Cuba has been an unofficial commonwealth of Russia since the 1960's. We should have taken it when the Soviet Union collapsed. Imagine all the beautiful golf courses, yachts, condominiums, and jobs that Cuba would have now.

We can take it anytime we want. Russia couldn't defend it if they wanted to.

If you think about it, we do have a military base there in Guantanamo. Makes you wonder about a great many things.

In the same way that China can take Taiwan, both the US and China can do it but the consequences for the world would be catastrophic

Is the Russian Navy even in the Top 10 in the world?

An invasion of Cuba would be a tropical nightmare. They hate our guts and would strap bombs onto their own children to drive us out. If we could’ve conquered Cuba, we’d have done it long ago.

Putin is just building leverage for US withdrawal from Ukrina.

If CIA is in Russia's backyard, Russia is going to be in our zip code- I wouldn't call Cuba our "backyard", b/c it's separated by water.

Cuba is suffering food shortages and electricity that is on for 4 hours and off for 4 hours along with a host of other breakdowns. That's the fruit of communism.

Putin's only doing what America does all over the world.

I don’t know if that article is truthful or not, but that pic is either not real or just really old.

I wouldn’t doubt their skill but I would doubt their assets.

Three ships.

1 war ship and two tug boats to get it home?

Let’s be honest even with our idiot co-Presidents right now, the Russian Navy is no match for the US Navy. Their ships would be sunk in no time and would make good fish habitat.

Their government hates us, not the people. The people just want to not be so poor. You can't convert radical jihadists, but you CAN convert some Catholics that just want a little food in their bellies.

It's an island of 11 million people, many of which love us and want to be in the U.S. The only reason that we haven't conquered Cuba is because there's been no need. They can't even stop us from having a base on their island.

Did the Russians also send at least an additional ship full of mechanics as well?
