Yes, it is the Russians trying to provoke the USA. The reason Cuba is allowing this in their port is that they want the USA to open up to Cuba. Obama tried to ease tensions between the two countries, but Trump shut everything down. On the part of the Russians it is merely a show of their military strength, which is quit weak at this point. They could not even send this sub anywhere near the Ukraine as an American/NATO missile might take it out. The Russian military is in tatters, the Russian economy is in bad shape. Putin has spent away the Russian economy and military budget for decades. The sub showing up in Cuba is merely a show of force. Cuba will use this opportunity to mend diplomatic relations with the USA and make things better to their own people.

Before I clicked the link, I knew who it was. You are a man of good taste sir.
Thank you for proving my point. Even if I could be bothered which I am not, you are just not teachable. What you said is beyond special needs and it would be near impossible to get it through your thick skull as to why it's special needs.
Yup... show of Russia's military strength! One small frigate
, a noisy old sub, a refuelling boat (oiler) ..... and a tugboat for when one of them breaks down! 
I don't think the US going to change Cuban policy over Russia! If anything... Russia will just further weaken itself by going back to assist Cuba.
Your a pilot ?I've seen Russian subs (2) in the Port of Cuba. One docked and another one underway as it left the port. Pretty cool. I've also seen a
What was REALLY impressive though was seeing an Ohio-class USN submarine underway(on the surface) leaving the base just north of Jacksonville Florida from 1,000' in a small Cessna. Fucking thing was enormous!! And it was MOVING! Must have been going 20 knots! Throwing a frothy wake like the froth at the bottom of Niagara falls. Fucking POWER to displace that much water was astonishing.
The Russians did have the largest sub at one time but they were scrapped years ago. Still formidable and able to fuck us all up real bad though...
Considering they are apparently resorting to needing help from North Korea, I doubt they can ensmallen themselves anymore.Yup... show of Russia's military strength! One small frigate

Never underestimate Russia's ability to destroy themselves! The faster the better!
Cluck, cluck, clucking. Obliviously clucking like a plucked hen feverishly pecking, pecking, pecking away at his keyboard.

They are showing up to obtain DJT and hand him over to Putin for debt owing.
If Putin truly wants to get paid big money he should wait till
Trump win re-election first. Perhaps in Putin's mind Russian
submarines showing up in Cuba would serve as a reminder
to U.S. allies it is time to shore up defense by buying navy
submarines from the U.S. And that could help him with extorting
more money from Trump.
Not that I expect Trump to win or imminent submarine
attack from Russia but I do think money spent on Ukraine
is better funneled into our own defense. Buying nuclear
subs and more F-35 jets from the U.S. is better insurance
against future Russian aggression.
I thought tug boats are for boat maneuvering, they have other ships for Sub patrolling
For the nation's peace of mind Canada needs to replace its
old and worn out military submarines. Going nuclear should
be an option.
Submarines: Canada’s underwater prospects foundering - Legion Magazine
There has been little progress on replacing Canada’s aging fleet of navy submarines, only one of which has been to sea in several years, according to statistics provided to Legion Magazine by the Department of National Defence. While talk of nuclear replacements has been just that—talk—only one...legionmagazine.com
Nuclear subs are our only choice. Future nuclear submarine purchases are not an option for Canada, as our only purchase choices are from France, UK or USA. Unless we want a sub par second rate diesel tin can from a banana republic or a fiberglass hulled electric smugglers sub from Columbia.
