First, there’s no transfer/purchase of nuclear weapons.
Giving/selling to them presumes that Russia believes the Cubans and Venezuelans are technically savvy, competent, reliable along with a whole host of other attributes needed to successfully manage the weapons. It’s not in Russia’s best interests to have client states with nukes if they can’t properly manage them.
