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.
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.

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.

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.
Sounds misplaced, then, because they are being sanctioned by the US for literally just existing as an independent country
Lol 🤓

Exactly
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.

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.
Ojalá
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!
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…
Fucking worse than useless press.
This man does not make jokes.
After the conflict with Iran?
The conflict that you’re currently “winning”?
I got worried for a second.
He has won it and ended it completely at least (checks notes) 17 times now! Nobody has ever ended the same war that many times in all of history!
I hear a PGA peace prize is in the works
Iran is a quagmire but only has a tiny fraction of our military involved, so there’s plenty of capacity for more war to shift the narrative.
Can’t do war without bombs
Remember when we “couldn’t” help Puerto Rico after Maria because Puerto Rico is an island, surrounded by big water, ocean water?
Trump on Friday said the disaster relief effort in Puerto Rico is complicated because it is “surrounded by water.” “This is an island, surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water,” the president said during a speech in Washington on his tax plan.
A three day special operation?
A quick adventure. In. Out. Nobody will even notice 👍
So now we’re off to murder a whole bunch of innocent Cubans for literally no reason beyond that probably the president was paid by someone to do this, after which we’ll break our nose bloody again and fail, after which we’ll look like even bigger losers to the entire world, after which we’ll just declare victory and leave.
The US, ladies and gentlemen
“The Aristocrats!”
Gotta distract from the failure of his pointless war in Iran by starting a new pointless war with a country that’s more vulnerable…
Fucking fascist.
His powers expand if he can claim a state of emergency. He likes to keep lots of them happening
Because a communist country minding its own business while trying to provide for its people is evil, while a capitalist country bombing country after country non-stop for decades while trying to provide for a handful of billionaire sociopath pedophiles is good.
When you put it like that … :)
Still trying to outrun Epstein
Control of trade routes
The biggest problem in Cuba is the blockade.
Truth
In other news: the US is runnig out of ammo. Yeah sure, let’s open up a new front.
Dementeid old fool.
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.
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.
Trump will do anything to distract from the fact that he’s all over the Epstein files.
America First is going great
First 1 world country drove into the ground.
America First was the start of Trump’s hit list.
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, nor the duration. Vietnam certainly no, on the contrary they helped vietcong fight the french, american invaders and win the civil war
after the conflict in Iran.
Sounds like they’re safe then.
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.
Peace President keeping up the peace with yet another war.
