At a moment Russian warships are once again entering a Cuban port to dock vessels of its Northern Fleet at the longtime Latin American ‘enemy’ country of the United States, Russian state media is declaring that this is giving the US a dose of its own medicine.
“I think we can definitely see this as a direct Russian reply to the general US declaration of conducting what it calls ‘Freedom of navigation’ exercises. Although, as far as we know, no one has challenged the freedom of navigation,” geopolitical analyst and American citizen Mark Sleboda, who lives in Russia, has told Sputnik.

“They patrol their navy up and down off Russia’s and China’s and Iran’s coast, saber-rattling and threatening as part of their policy of containment,” Sleboda added.
The Russian naval strike group vessels, listed as the nuclear-powered Kazan submarine, the Admiral Gorshkov frigate and a rescue tugboat identified as the Nikolai Chiker – have entered the port of Havana Wednesday. Two formal Cuban government and military welcoming ceremonies took place at the port.
CNN details that “Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov – the first of a four-ship convoy – fired a 21-gun salute after entering Havana harbor, which was answered by the Cubans with cannon fire from an 18th-century colonial fort built by the Spanish to guard the port.”
“The Gorshkov is one of the Russian Navy’s most modern ships, and was followed by the nuclear-powered submarine Kazan, a rescue tug, and an oil tanker,” the outlet added.
