U.S and Russia's War of Words

So if Cuba gets whacked by a hurricane and the Russians send warships to help them with aid, what will be the likely U.S response?

Most likely the Cubans will be washed to the beaches of FL. & the US would be the 1st to resond anyway, as we have a base there & it is only 90 miles off our coast.

Sorta hard to compare a hurricane to the Russian invasion of a soverign democratic country, isn't it?

Since the Russians "captured" our unguarded equipment and took it back to Moscow...what was the alternative?

Agreed, but Russia would do something like that just to piss off the U.S
