So what?? What's your point. Are you Cuban? Then you could be pissed off due to the U.S. crapping out. Seems to be a trend....

No mountain out of a mole hill.
To be buzzed like that is an act of aggressiveness.
And just not a good idea because the potential is there for being fired upon.
That was a bad move by the Russians.

What hurt?? Irritation at the one-sided idiocy, yes.
Your comment re the Cuban invasion and it's wording gives the intent away.
First, it's wrong. It was not a "CIA backed" action. It was presidentially ordered, it was contributed by all the branches of the armed forces and the relevant intelligence agencies...that includes the CIA.
As I have said in other posts, I couldn't care less about either country. I do care about the U.S. and viable peace.
With the continued occupation of Georgia, Crimea and now eastern Ukraine, it is clear that Putin is re-expanding his turf.
This is unacceptable. All the justifications are nothing but excuses. By him and all the apologists.
Frankly, there's nothing that can be done about it...short of war...for now....

"On 10 April, the destroyer Donald Cook ', with cruise missiles, Tomahawk' reached on board, the neutral waters of the Black Sea. The aim was to perform a bullying action and show of force in the context of Russia's position in relation to the Ukraine and the Crimea. The emergence of American warships in these waters is contrary to the Convention on the character and the time period of the stay of warships of non-riparian countries in the Black Sea. "
