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.
Why? So the USA can get a better look at their lack of naval capability? To intimidate… I don’t know… summer yachting enthusiasts?
Well you see we haven’t given Ukraine icbms yet, so as long as the ships are outside the Black Sea they are safe.
Safe from Ukraine maybe. I’m hoping for a pod of orcas to find them!
The orcas only attack small boats, unfortunately. TBH, all the “rooting for the orcas” is really misplaced. It’s not the 1% they’re hitting.
… yet.
They are expecting a very active hurricane season this year, they might manage to lose a ship or two
