Actually, there are more assetts there now than there have been for some years since the conflict.

I'm not saying we could relieve the island in force like we did in 82 but given a little warning (satellite intel) I should imagine an on-station nuke and similar reinforcements (Trafalgar/Astute Classes) could do a bit of damage.

A question...Is this hypothetical shift in US thinking in any way related to the Russians about to set up rigs off Cuba?

Is it possible they are looking for a bigger slice of the oil and gas cake they believe they may lose to the Russians?
