President Donald Trump said Friday during remarks in Florida that the United States would take over Cuba “almost immediately,” suggesting an aircraft carrier could be positioned offshore after the conflict in Iran.
[…]
While the president’s comments appeared partly joking, they followed concrete policy action in the form of broadened sanctions.
Will he block the Gulf of Mexico?
In a 3-day special operation?
I hope Europe and Nato start working together with all smaller countries to form a new Nato to protect against American imperialism and American aggression. Cause together, diplomacy is better than force
You hope the impossible. Why would europe give up its imperial benefits for third world solidarity? Anyone that has truly shown third world solidarity were eastern bloc, ussr, etc
Tankie right here. USSR did the same as US did. At least EU didn’t invade any third-world country recently.
No, USSR was miles better than US and its common sense opinion. Tell me how were they same?
Khrushchev and Brezhnev USSR (these were the ones that invaded the most) versus Eisenhower, Kennedy and LBJ (then the comparison gets bad with Nixon)
Who did they invade?
Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Afghanistan, Vietnam (debatable)
Only Afghanistan was an invasion and I oppose it, soviets did wrong there. Hungary and Czechoslovakia wont be called invasion because it was to suppress a west backed coup, and death toll was nothing much. Vietnam certainly no, on the contrary they helped vietcong fight the french, american invaders and win the civil war
Trump will do anything to distract from the fact that he’s all over the Epstein files.
FUCKING WHY
Someone paid him and flattered him, obviously.
Cuba’s current government won’t let US businesses extract Cuba’s wealth and exploit their citizens.
imagine asking this question after witnessing the cold war
They fear communism more than anything.
Ruin Canada’s vacation spot.
After 70 years of torture
Central bank architecture
Gentle reminder that cuba was first sanctioned by JFK. Liberal Bill Clinton strengthened those sanctions. For us communists (and other sane leftists) we should know theyre all the same.
he thinks he will outlive us
OK grandad.
Read: Two more weeks.
Been 2 days since he said that.
TACO?
The Evil Empire is overextending.
The article says “partly joking”, but it would be insane to not take the US President seriously when he says stuff like that.
Yep. He’s “partly joking” about everything right up until the second he isn’t.
Whats even more crazy is you can show a MAGA an old statement of his and they say he is joking. Then show them him acting on that statement and you can actually see their brain melt.
Fucking worse than useless press.
This man does not make jokes.
That’s what we call sane washing. He’s one of the most powerful people on the planet, his words have weight, this is not some crazy guy on the street corner.
Just a crazy guy in the oval office
Remove the ovals, put him back on the corner!
He no doubt does want to do a regime change operation against Cuba. It’s just the resources are tied up with trying to get Iran to re-open the strait, give up their nuclear program, and disband the Axis of Resistance Network.
Result is the US is not coming and any change has to happen inside the country. Which isn’t going to happen thanks to the US starving the people of needed resources
Result is the US is not coming and any change has to happen inside the country.
And the Cuban people overall like their government. Any pressing issues are wholly the fault of the USA, as far as can be assessed.
Sorry but from the information I can gather the Cuban people have similar opinions as Iranians have for their government.
They don’t like them, with real reason for no revolution because the US is not genuinely helping the people but trying to get their own oligarchs in power.
With both sides shooting the best the people in the middle can do is keep their head down and survive (unfortunately)
No they don’t lmao. Only the old generations still alive after the Revolution when they kicked out the USA are still die-hards. Most of the younger to middle aged people in general hate the Cuban government. How couldn’t they? They live the life while regular ppl have nothing due to the horrible sanctions by the USA. You don’t win hearts and minds with poverty, hunger, disease and death.
In regards to the sanctions: that’s a crime against humanity for an island like Cuba.
I doubt the Cuban people blame their government for illegal USA sanctions.
Yes they do. Spent 2 months there in March last year.
Were the margaritas warm?
Sounds misplaced, then, because they are being sanctioned by the US for literally just existing as an independent country
Lol 🤓
While the Cuban people don’t love the sanctions the reason for anti-goverment sentiment is the state apparatus not looking like doing anything to resolve the crisis but put more in the so called revolutionary defense committee and security institutions
but put more in the so called revolutionary defense committee and security institutions
I mean, maybe rightfully so since they’ve been threatened constantly for the past year.
And where do those threats come from? What I refer to is internal enforcement, IE concern of a threat on the Island.
Exactly
The US will use up all it’s ammo on these operations and squander all it’s goodwill with allies, then someone will probably attack it’s interests around the world.
I for one will welcome our new Chinese overlords, as long as they install solar everywhere and execute a bunch of billionaires.
Certainly will get the panels. But the Billionaires are safe so long as they pay the party tribute
Ojalá
suggesting an aircraft carrier could be positioned offshore after the conflict in Iran.
Don’t worry, the “conflict” in Iran isn’t ending any time soon…
What are you talking about? It ended at least three times already this year!
That’s so much winning, I just can’t keep up.
Maybe if he ends the war a few more times he’ll finally get that peace prize…
Remember when our heads felt so quiet, because we were not constantly bombarded by the shit coming out of the president of the united states mouth? I miss that blessed time.
In other news: the US is runnig out of ammo. Yeah sure, let’s open up a new front.
Dementeid old fool.
Not the same kind of tools would be used in a war with Cuba. In this scenario, the US has already the homefield advantage by controlling the gulf of “America”.
Never heard of that
No one besides the administration does.
the US is runnig out of ammo
If I had a dollar for every time I read the “American military running out of ammo” story, I’d be richer than a Lockheed executive.
Americans are so easily gaslit on this shit. You can jump out behind a corner shouting “We don’t have enough tomahawk missiles!” and they’ll reflexively hand you $20B.
It’s not that it can’t be true they’ve expended a significant part of the stockpiles, it’s more that the implication isn’t that they won’t be able to prosecute the ongoing or another war, just that they’ll be somewhat limited by it and that if shit really hit the fan in the form of China for example they want to have a stab at it too then they could be in more trouble.
Reminds me a lot of the similar stockpile counting with regards to Russia in Ukraine.
they’ve expended a significant part of the stockpiles
And they’re using supplies faster than they’re restocking. But they’re also running out of targets and slowly Iran’s capacity to fire ballistic missiles in kind.
So we get hysterical coverage of what is normal and expected changes in munitions to drive stone broader narrative of military resumes and whose to blame.
don’t worry… he already forgot that he is at war with Iran. he has to be reminded of it hourly.
don’t worry…
I know you’re being sarcastic, but still. With the likes of him and Hegseth in change, I am constantly worried. Even if I do live in a country that is not currently being threatened directly by them.
Sure, his latest war is not going to plan. There are plenty of unknowns in Venezuela and the Cubans will not tolerate US imperialism.
