Russian warships arrive in Cuba amid rising tensions with West

A fleet of Russian naval warships is now in Cuba, but the U.S. does not consider its arrival a threat despite Russia's rising tensions with the West.

The ships arrived following what Russia’s defence ministry calls “high-precision missile weapons” training in the Atlantic Ocean.

Jackson Proskow looks at how Moscow is justifying the stopover, why Washington is not worried and how Russia's relationship with Cuba has persisted since the Cold War.

Let's not forget the Russians only moved missiles into Cuba in the 60s because the US moved missiles into Turkey.

I love how America can send all their ships around the border of their enemies but if they do the same then it’s a problem

CANADA IS A SUPER BANANA REPUBLIC. END OF STORY!

That’s what you get when you decided to attack Russia through Ukraine.

Ah man not again ! At least its in colour

US navy tracking Russia sub?? Great job.
Putin did a great job too by publishing this normal regular visit to Cuba and at the same time 15 other nuclear carrying sub are positioning themselves at the other direction close to USA territorial waters...waiting for USA to cross the RED LINE on Ukraine.
Putin is always foresee the future and prepared.

Why is it big deal when Russia or China has ships or aircraft out of their own space? The USA has ships and aircraft all over the world and continually fly through Chinese airspace.

I trust Russian government more than I trust Canadian Government.

[jensbiederstaedt]

So America maybe now sees how it feels.

[lorraineklimek]

Putin says if you want to post NATO forces on our border, we can send our ships to Cuba.

China’s war ship should also pay a visit to Cuba as well.

Don't forget, the western leaders asked for this

That is just sad! When we live on a most remarkable Earth and have the most amazing Technology, we have to fight each other instead of getting along for the good of us all! Just darn sad!

Didn’t global news said Donald Trump was gonna cause WWIII?? 🧐

[daviessuperchannel]

This world gets stupider by the second. US gets a little dose of their own medicine.

[datsunlambchops]

To think that America and Canada go right up into Russia and China. But are outraged when they come close once in awhile.

[grunf]

Now the USA knows what it feels like to have another nation’s arsenal parked close by. Hooray Putin and the Russian people from a born and raised Canadian👍

[danysl]

Thanks goodness. At last US is getting a taste of its medicine. The world supports freedom of navigation. More warships must be in Americas waters to promote safety in waters.
