Naval exercises spurred by US support for Ukraine are likely to include port calls in Cuba and Venezuela, says official
Russia plans to send combat vessels into the Caribbean region this summer as part of naval exercises that will probably include port calls in Cuba and possibly stops in Venezuela, a senior US official said on Wednesday.
“As part of Russia’s regular military exercises, we anticipate that this summer, Russia will conduct heightened naval and air activity near the United States. These actions will culminate in a global Russian naval exercise this fall,” the official said.
The US does not see the move involving a relatively small number of vessels and planes as threatening, but the US Navy will monitor the exercises, the official told a small group of reporters.
Didn’t Ukraine get invaded during other such drills? Wasn’t it a ‘special military operation’ near the border?
Who are they going to invade? Cuba or Venezuela? There’s no point in that, they are already at least loosely allied with Russia.
They certainly won’t be invading the United States, they’d be destroyed before they could get within 10 miles of shore.
Russia is going to run a few ships around in order look tough. That’s pretty much it.
No, I don’t think you understand, sorry. They might actually if we don’t watch carefully, who is to say?
