US submarine pulls into Guantanamo Bay a day after Russian warships arrive in Cuba
A U.S. Navy submarine has pulled into Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in a show of force as a fleet of Russian warships gather for planned military exercises in the Caribbean.
A U.S. Navy submarine has arrived in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in a show of force as a fleet of Russian warships gather for planned military exercises in the Caribbean.
U.S. Southern Command said the USS Helena, a nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, pulled into the waters near the U.S. base in Cuba on Thursday, just a day after a Russian frigate, a nuclear-powered submarine, an oil tanker and a rescue tug crossed into Havana Bay after drills in the Atlantic Ocean.
The stop is part of a “routine port visit” as the submarine travels through Southern Command’s region, it said in a social media post.
Other U.S. ships also have been tracking and monitoring the Russian drills, which Pentagon officials say do not represent a threat to the United States.
You're viewing a single thread.
Just fucking sink them
And that would be a good idea why?
It would be a good idea if we could do it without the Russians knowing who did it..
How are they going to know it wasn’t Ukraine
Just send the The USA Caribbean Jet-ski club at them... I've heard Russian ships kinda don't like jet-skis....
What the submarine or the Russian ships?
Either way that seems like an extraordinarily bad idea.
In this case I would say no as Cuba needs a security guarantee against the us as they have no nuclear weapons to prevent a successful bay of pigs invasion.
I don't see that working out at all well for the US. I don't think there's a lot of sympathy for the US against Cuba internationally, and even if invading Cuba would get lots of support internally, it would kind of be like a dog catching a car. Now that you have it, what are you going to do with it.
Politically, the best thing America can do is leave them alone (at least as much as they do right now) until Cuba decides to change their stance, while restricting their access to weapons that could be a threat to America.
So...there's not a lot of sympathy for the US against Cuba internationally? And it's politically better for the US to maintain the status quo until Cuba comes to negotiate? And no, pushing for a UN resolution isn't negotiating. This is a staring contest, and neither side wants to be the one to lose.
The US is attempting to bully Cuba into submission just like how Russia is trying to do to Ukraine
I've noticed a lot fewer bullets, armies, missiles, and artillery in Cuba compared to Ukraine. I'll grant America is bullying Cuba, but not just like Russia is Ukraine.
