Yeah, right, they want the people of Cuba to be free... They said that as well about the people of Iran when starting that war. And the people are not a tiny bit more free than before now, even though Trump has proclaimed to have "won" the war several times.

This. This is my fear. The dems will take the house but fail to take the senate, giving this administration an additional two years to fuck everything up with no check. They will attempt to take Cuba. Count on it.

Oh God…I hope not!!!! I have never seen a more feckless, traitorous, spineless, d!ckless cowards than the Republicans in the Senate…and House!!! They are complicit in the destruction of our country and they all need to be held accountable!

We have to invade Cuba to distract from Iran, which was launched because we thought it would be easy based on our invasion/kidnapping of Maduro in Venezuela and also to distract people from the Epstein files. It’s called 5-D chess

When Dems finally have the majority, Congress should pass a “temporary war tax” to refill the money spent on these wars. Target corporations and billionaires.

National interest? He means we, as in President Pedo's interests, who wants Cuba's minerals, it's real estate to build more luxury beach resorts, another golf resort and expand America to include other countries. Canada told us to fuck off and has the means to repel us, Cuba not so much.

Venezuela, Greenland, Cuba and anyone else yields all their resources to the king of America 🙄 *Every* last bit of this is to make rich people richer

tRumpy promised Cuba to Lil' Marco in exchange for his undying sycophant loyalties. Lil' Marco drank the kool-aid, kept his promises, and even wore tRump's clown shoes.

It's telling of the way Trump does things. He can't even be bothered about shoe sizes. Why does anybody expect him to work differently when it concerns global affairs? "Let's invade Iran! As I am the Greatest President of the Greatest Nation!"

Trump: "I've been working hard to eff up the U.S. and the rest of the world. Cuba has gotten off largely scot free. I intend to change that. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Legally Trump doesn't have any of these powers. Practically he does, because all mechanisms designed to check the power of the President are controlled by Republicans and they refuse to use them.

Of course the army is just going along with drumphs illegal orders. We are not protected from authoritarianism by OUR military. All that matters is the paycheck. They are all mercenaries.

Of course trump will attack Cuba. That is why he is so frustrated that the Iranians will not give up and roll over. He wants to end the Iranian war before he starts the Cuban war. It will be one more war that toddler trump can say that he stopped. That Nobel Prize is just waiting for him.

The idea that Cuba is a credible threat to the US is not believable in any constituency. If he chooses to invade Cuba it will be viewed solely as another distraction.

Does Cuba have anything to attack with? They have no fuel to even generate electricity. That was the whole point. Cuba has the refineries to refine Venezuealan Oil. That's what Big Oil needs. The refineries. They could give a shit about Cuba's people.

Refineries are a good point. It's never ever about the people with Trump, it's ALWAYS about money and power. And the destruction of people that confronted him.

Excellent. Start a conflict against yet another Country that has spent its entire existence planning and preparing for the day it will be in conflict with the United States. What could possibly go wrong?

No. Russia needs them to murder Ukrainian women and children. China is their only hope for drones, but they are under the Soviet/Post Soviet sphere of influence.

Yeah, but that's a different kettle of fish than weapons that would be used against us. China is reasonably easy for us to blockade. They don't gain much by backing them.

American war planners expected US troops being welcomed by singing and dancing in the streets of Baghdad. They were met by IEDs and armed resistance instead. They will get a similar reception in Havana

This isn't OUR national interest. This is a wet dream for TFG. Take it all before you go. Bomb and grab. Now what does he want. Finish the big one before dessert. Maybe he can fly to China & spend more time w/one of the 5 musketeers. Xi, KJU, Putin, Netanyahu, TFG. Now, Axis of Evil.

Not one person has stopped the tyrant from: The illegal war in Iran Bombing innocent fishermen Bombing a girls school War crimes Threatening Canada Threatening/planning invasion of Greenland Inviting murderous tyrant Putin to FL sabotaging Ukraine/all of Europe Not one person.

Every fucking time they say, "We want the [X] people to be free, happy, and prosperous," It really means we are getting ready to kill a whole bunch of them and steal their resources. Fuck this. Leave Cuba alone.

Trump and his admin have been conflating national interest with their interests. Rubio has a vendetta against Cuba. Trump needs another distraction from the Epstein Files because the previous ones haven't worked. (They only served to decrease his popularity.)

No—this is something more insidious. It was envisioned by the Fire-Eaters, the ones who actually started the Civil War, for the purpose of establishing a North American plantation empire with its capital in Havana. They had already started setting up operations there before the war broke out.

Call Congress and leave messages this weekend. Then call again this week: 202-224-3121 ☎️📞📱 Cuba is not ours to loot. Support existing bills like this one or just say No More Wars. For @resist.bot text ‘sign PZQBDK’ to 50409 resist.bot/petitions/PZ...

Look, starting a War with Greenland to distract from the Epstein files, economy, unprecedented graft, weekly revelation how weird these people are, and the shitty diaper, is too hard, maybe we'll just invade Cuba... keep your eyes on the pea, watch the pea, where does it go, watch the pea.

Canada and Greenland/Denmark both are NATO, It would be interesting to see how Rutte would work his way out of this. Rutte is a slippery eel covered in WD40.

I still want to know why the fuck we give a damn about Cuba. Even if Castro dies and there's no one to take over, or they finally just stop being communist, what then? I seriously doubt Cuban expats actually plan on going back for the most part, especially the loudest and oldest.

US blockades Cuba, starves it's citizens and then declares Cuba is a threat to OUR national security. PAY ATTENTION

This goes beyond a vague “all options are on the table” statement. CBS obtained an Army Reserve request checking availability of medical, military police and logistics units potentially needed within 90–120 days. No deployment orders are reported, but the planning is becoming more concrete.

I missed what Cuba did that warrants getting harassed by the US? Something similar to what those "awful: Canadians did? What's after Cuba? The Vatican?

So they're going to invade Cuba to distract from the inflation and gas prices caused by the disaster in Iran that was to distract from the pedophilia... Is that roughly where y'all are right now? Will this happen before or after the Kennedy Center is demolished?

This is my fear, that Trump is waiting for after the midterms to go even more batshit. Invading Cuba, sending ground troops into Iran, who knows what with Greenland and Canada.

I heard Canada is seriously looking at the possibility of an US invasion. I never thought I would ever type such a sentence unless in some alcohol and LSD fueled novel. I think by now, Europe needs to move troops closer to Canada, just in case. We need to help each other out against these madmen.

Turns out the famous doctrine that “US should be prepared militarily to fight two major wars simultaneously” was insufficient.

You know, if his Cabinet needed any further push to invoke the 25th Ammendment, a military incursion into Cuba should provide ample justification.

Does he think we will forget what is happening in Iran if he bombs Cuba? Isn’t it bad enough what we are already doing to them? And doing for no reason other than 🍊💩 wants to! And does he think we really have forgotten about #EpsteinFiles? We have not. #releasetheEpsteinFes

I wish Donald Trump would put that "wide array" up his ass & go to Mar-A-Lago & stay there. Take his passports, take Melania's passports take everybody's passports; build a wall around Mar-A-Lago & that'll be his prison with no access to the water.

How can you achieve a happy, free, and prosperous Cuba if you can’t even achieve this domestically?! Offering $100 million taxpayer dollars for aid to Cuba when Americans need aid that’s being taken away as I write this?! Release the Epstein files.

I’m not interested in Cuba. I could be interested if we allowed free trade & access. Instead we’ve kept up decades upon decades of embargoes because a bunch of businesses got butt hurt, & looked foolish. FF>> to today, & we constantly make ourselves look like idiots. Nothing has changed.

Cuba populace have access to arms as part of national defense. They've been drilling for decades & decades. There would be a token defense to let U.S. get too cocky and then the attacks would be guerilla style, widespread, and ugly. Cuban nationalism is stronger than U.S.

This is probably just the same exercises they always do, game out scenarios. But they might think something is more likely due to all the weird rhetoric the last year

“You can’t have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat”…..where my Pink Floyd fans out there 😎🤟 Trumps admin will absolutely screw up any plan to go into Cuba.

Please be more precise, CBS. U.S. Army South know what it has planned for Cuba if needed. Is USARSO requesting forces, revising the TPFDD, or is this noise from TFG's idiot secretaries as they seek a new disaster? "The Army" isn't doing this.

China plays the waiting game, Xi is patient. He will strike when the chaos is greatest. And he knows how he can play Trump, he will use Trump in any way he can.

Greenland is a NATO country, I never believed he was going to follow up on that threat. Iran on the other hand I thought he might and he did. Venezuela, ditto. Unlike Greenland these were both countries he could fuck with without triggering a world war with nuclear powers, just like Cuba.
