Russian Submarines Patrolling Waters Off U.S. East Coast

I just posted about the rumored new Saudi/Russian alliance. I wonder if the information that Russian submarines are patrolling off the East Coast is related.

Two nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines have been patrolling in international waters off the East Coast for several days...Russia, meanwhile, conducted naval exercises with Venezuela last year in the Caribbean and sent one of its warships through the Panama Canal for the first time since World War II. The exercises with Venezuela were the first deployment of Russian ships to the Western Hemisphere since the Cold War.

Don't forget that Russia also recently went back to Cuba for the first time since the Soviet Union days.
