    To distract from the trumpstein child rape files, the shithead attacks Iran. To distract from how horridly the Iran thing is going, the pedo is going to attack cuba.

    The world can’t wait for the big great headline news article…

    Americans don’t care about war because it’s never been on their doorstep.

    Dude will actively fuck is his own leverage and sysop over his own citizens if this touches the US

      They are evil. Also, they know they are extremely unpopular right now so might as well go for broke. The Grand Old Pedophile party has been slow genociding the Cubans ever since they lost their tropical rape paradise.

      The Presidency has enriched itself by billions of dollars now, this amount of corruption no one could possibly fathom a couple of decades ago. I shudder to think of what they will do next after they have broken countless laws, violated the Constitution numerous times, and have dropped any pretense about being white nationalist thugs.

        The democrats on the other hand have been so good for Cuba… Just expanded and made permanent the embargo that crippled Cuba since 1960.

        The oppression of Cubans for the glory of capitalism is bipartisan.

          They have been complicit and have not fought for the Cuban people the way they should have. Criticism is deserved.

          I am not a fan of Obama, but he did normalize relations. I was not able to visit, but some of my friends were. They were very impressed with Cuba and its people.

          It is a disgusting that this administration is responsible for the the increased suffering of their people. It is in my opinion a crime against humanity. No wonder this administration is hates the ICC, they know they are criminals.

    Honestly, Cuba might make lemonade out of a lemon. The odds of America flubbing their invasion in the face of insurmountable resistance and leaving behind goodies during retreat isn’t impossible.

    Even a decade ago, this assertion would have been laughed at in disbelief. It still does, but now with self-denigration.

      Trump is teaching the World you need to have nukes to be respected.

      And if South American nukes sound far-fetched, Brazil had a nuclear weapons program during its military dictatorship years. But willingly gave up on the program.

        The trouble is that cartels are pretty ineffective at actually making things, they’re mostly only good at stealing things. So manufacturing weapons that are needed to fight the US feels impossible.

    At this point in history, I do not really care about the communist revolution. Cuban people are heroes, regardless of governments as long as they are patriots. You can’t expect them to resist to this silent economic genocide over communism. Dignity can’t exist without people, but the USA will take not only communism, they will also take their independence. Those who will give away their sovereignty, those are not Cubans, not really.

    Nice, let’s try to win in another asymmetrical war again, the other times since the Bush era were not proof enough.

    Like Cubans know how to survive on nothing but thin air, thanks to the US. So enjoy another defeat, Whiskeyleaks.

    That would be the 3rd unprovoked attack on a country by the president of peace. Is the US just trying to start wars with weakened countries until they finally win one? Pathetic.

      Yes. Ever since Zelelesky told Trump that Ukraine’s elections were suspended over the war he’s been desperate to get the US into a full-scale war of its own.

        To add to this, I’ve always heard that if you can’t make money in a war your a fool. I mean look how much trump has made this presidency already with the shit he’s caused. Gotta feed the military industrial complex!

      No, Trump is trying to distract from his failures as a human being. He thought Iran would be easy - it wasn’t. So he’s going after someone he thinks is weaker to keep the distractions going & expecting the usual wartime support from “patriotic Americans.” He’s worn them out already & ain’t likely to get much, IMHO.

      I so want out of this shithole.

      Way more than three.

      Venezuela: In January 2026, U.S. forces bombed Caracas and captured President Nicolás Maduro after months of a naval buildup, oil tanker blockades, and anti-drug strikes in the Caribbean.

      Iran: The U.S. carried out joint strikes with Israel (including Operation Midnight Hammer) targeting key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

      Yemen: The U.S. military expanded its air and naval campaign against Houthi forces in Yemen and the Red Sea to protect commercial shipping lanes.

      Somalia: U.S. warplanes launched counterterrorism strikes against Islamic State (IS) operatives hiding in the Golis mountains.

      Iraq and Syria: The military conducted airstrikes to hit ISIS positions and defend U.S. service members from hostile fire.

      Nigeria: U.S. forces executed targeted air strikes against local Islamic State militant groups

          the reasons the US claim are irrelevant, certainly propaganda, and probably lies. the US is doing military action in these places. the US is a terrorist state.

              After the U.S. invasion, the Coalition Provisional Authority under Paul Bremer banned senior Ba’ath Party members from government jobs and dissolved the Iraqi Armed Forces.

              This mass dislocation of soldiers became the root of opposition to US occupation and eventually the core of the ISIS movement.

              Incidentally, also a group the United States clumsily expended in their efforts to harass Iraq’s neighbors.
