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.
I’m not asking about Castro, I’m asking about you: are you saying a U.S. naval base at the ass-end of Cuba is the same as human enslavement?
It’s a yes or no question and you can’t seem to answer. Are you trolling?
Are you? You don’t seem to be listening.
I’ll take that as a yes and act accordingly as a moderator.
