Three Russian warships arrived in Cuban waters on Saturday, Moscow’s second such maritime voyage in as many months in a reflection of deepening ties between Russia and Cuba.
The naval group, consisting of a training ship, patrol frigate and refueling tanker, are expected to remain docked in Cuba’s port of Havana until August 30. The arrival of the vessels comes mere weeks after another squadron of Russian warships, including a powerful nuclear-powered submarine, visited Havana as part of planned military exercises last month.
Hey Cuba, just a tip, you’re supposed to swim away from the sinking ship, not towards it.
Lots of European tourists go to Cuba. This might not be the best plan economically if nothing else.
More likely it’s trying to avoid getting sunk closer to home.
… or rather they are looking for cannon fodder to be sent to the front.

Ooh, what we got?

Oh, *cough* ha, ok.

Oh, well, ok, I guess.
This is their Atlantic Battlegroup B2
Hey Russia, remember how well that worked out for you last time?
growing ties? that’s an old friendship, from the USSR times
Let’s hope it goes better than it did in 1962.
It’s going to go just as well as it did when they did this a few weeks ago and no one gave a shit.
To be fair, the result we got last time was best case.
I could do with a little less ‘world will turn into an unlivable hellscape’ if it’s at all possible. Enough of that going around already.
