off ? Let’s hope it’s not déjà vu all over again.
The must urge continue to honor the understanding that ended the . Is still abiding by the terms of the “understanding” that resolved the 1962 Cuban missile crisis? Recent reports of Russian conducting exercises in the raise serious concerns about Moscow’s intentions.

I honestly believe that he is trying to swing the vote in favour of #TFG by encouraging #FuxSpews to report on just "how weak" Biden is and that #Putin would "never dare" to even entertain the thought of holding exercises anywhere near Cuba if #TFG was in power. (Though, of course, the reality would be the opposite.)

@Nonilex This is fear mongering. Russian cargo ships carry the weapons systems to be installed, not warships.
Russia was just visiting Cuba to pretend it has a meaningful navy.

@Nonilex @harriettmb Still, the threat of Mutually Assured Destruction is hard to shake.

@Nonilex I'm about as afraid of the Russian navy as I am of the Italian navy.

@Nonilex Hmm, if the US was to enter a state of conflict with Russia, would that mean we'd get into a situation where we can court-martial the Russian agents (and their helpers) in Congress and elsewhere all of a sudden? Just asking questions...

The understanding, referred to as the Kennedy-Khrushchev understanding, is a verbal agreement, not a formal treaty. But its essence — that would not deploy or systems capable of delivering weapons in — has held for 62 yrs. The Russians have honored their commitment on at least 2 past occasions, & the must insist that they continue to do so.
