Russia To Conduct Military Drills In Caribbean
Russia will conduct military drills in the Caribbean. The Russian Navy is also expected to make port calls in Venezuela and Cuba. Their deployment to Cuba will include a nuclear submarine, but the US accesses that they don’t have any nukes onboard. American officials expect the Russian navy to be hanging out in the Caribbean all summer and will conduct several exercises. Russia hasn’t notified the US of their plans as most countries do to prevent miscalculation, but the US says they’re not concerned about it. This comes after Putin said that he would take “asymmetrical steps” to respond to the US allowing Ukraine to strike inside of Russia.
The show of force is thought to be Putin’s way of lashing out and trying to intimidate the US. The US & NATO will now conduct major naval and air exercises in the Baltics near Russia this Friday.
