Old Friends Reunite as Cuba Welcomes Russian Naval Ships For Exercises

Three Russian ships and a nuclear-powered submarine will arrive in Cuba on Wednesday for naval exercises in the Caribbean Sea that will run through Monday.

The other link was more relevant I think with, by some reports, Russkis and Chicoms hanging around in Venezuela looking across at Guyana.

A slippery slope is a slippery slope. It exists or it doesn't. You don't get to cherry pick when and where it applies.
