A Russian navy ship docks in Cuba as tough times bring the old friends together. While in Cuba for a four-day visit, the Perekop’s sailors will “carry out a wide range of activities,” according to Cuba’s state-run Prensa Latina news service, and members of the Cuban public will be given the opportunity to tour the ship.

Russia has had a presence in the Caribbean for 25 years with a more active presence since 2008 when both Russia and Iran invested in Venezuela...Russia built a small arms factory while Iran constructed a facility to manufacture missile nose cones...there were numerous times when Russia would park a "nuclear capable" battle ship off the shore of Jamaica (90 miles from Cuba) and the sailors would tramp around MO Bay and Negril...there's nothing uncommon about Russia's periodic presence in the Caribbean.

Damn it; I would have to get through the Panama Canal to get to Cuba right now, and that would take weeks, probably months!
