Trump is prepping America for a military intervention in Cuba.

[kentuck]

UN Ambassador Mike Waltz got into a shouting match with the Cuban officials at a UN General Assembly meeting a couple of days ago. He made the usual charges against Cuba and their communist government.

The Cuban representatives, at one time, started pounding on their desks to show disapproval of Waltz' comments. They exchanged accusations.

The Cubans said there was an embargo on Cuba that was creating hardships for their people, including power failures and shortages of food. They showed photos of streets with no lights and operating rooms during surgery with flashlights. A reported ten million Cubans were without power. They said it was equivalent to an act of war.

It does seem the situation in Cuba is reaching a critical point. Does the US have plans of invading Cuba and taking out their leadership, similar to what they did in Venezuela?

Is Trump's recent rhetoric about "communism" really about domestic politics or is it about the leadership in Cuba? Is he telegraphing his intentions for that island?

There are other reports this morning that Trump is taking off for the next three days. Are the plans being finalized for some sort of military intervention, perhaps in Cuba?

1. And Jeb Bush is in on it

Any bets he’s crawling back out for 28?

[Ray Bruns]

16. I just want to know who reanimated Jeb Bush and thought anyone would want to hear his opinion on anything?

[malaise]

18. Same here

Lil Marco, Shady and now Jebsurd.😀

36. Jeb Bush has lived in Miami for decades and has extensive business interests in Miami and South Florida.

Bush is Chairman of Dock Square Capital, a Miami-based bank focused on private equity and real estate investments, and a partner in the Miami-based private equity and advisory firm Britton Hill Holdings. He's been actively involved in the so-called Cuban-American "Miami Mafia" since he moved to South Florida as a young man.

Jeb and Marco are both deeply indebted to the various Miami-based, hardline, anti-all-things-Castro Cuban-American special interest groups. Bush would never have been elected governor of Florida were it not for the support of these groups, and the same could be said for Rubio's success in Florida politics.

These hardline Cuban-American anti-communist groups in Miami have been working for the violent overthrow of the Cuban government for over sixty years. They finally see an opportunity, and they're calling in all their markers.

[Ray Bruns]

38. That doesn't answer my question.

[sop]

40. The people Bush is indebted to financially and politically are the same ones behind this push to invade Cuba.

He's doing it to please them, and because Jeb and all his Miami friends will make money from real estate ventures in Cuba once the island has been opened up to foreign investment.

[Ray Bruns]

43. That's better.

[Polybius]

22. He can try, but Americans seem to be done with 70+ presidents for the time being

I suspect if he does run, it will be worse than 2016.

[Janbdwl72]

51. Right! Jeb is definitely over the hill

Let's hope he uses his brain and does not bother with it.

He can retire comfortably.

I thought the Bushes didn't like the Felon and what he has done to the Republican Party.

[Xavier Breath]

31. I'm sure a weary America awaits with hopeless anticipation.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. There's also a claim by Jeb Bush of Iranian drones in Cuba,

so I imagine that, if true that Trumpedo is gearing up for military action in Cuba, he'll also use that excuse.

[kentuck]

3. That's interesting...

I had not heard that.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

6. Here's the link to the article.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jeb-bush-raises-alarm-over-iranian-drones-in-cuba/ar-AA27AIEG

[kentuck]

8. It figures...

The Bushes have been involved in every foreign intervention since the Bay of Pigs, it seems? Poppy Bush went into Panama and nabbed Noriega, as I recall.

[Mad_Machine76]

4. OMG

He must think we're all really stupid

[Blumancru]

27. Truthfully, enough of us ARE stupid that he gets away with it.

Every time.

[Mad_Machine76]

32. It sucks being a sane, caring person

In an insane, apathetic world

[ColoringFool]

5. An excuse even if not true (AS IF Jeb would know anything!).

[Wednesdays]

20. If it's true there are drones in Cuba,

...then southern Florida is not safe. Indeed, likely the entire Gulf coast.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

24. In that case then,

the entire U.S. is not safe from drones from within our own country.
My point is that warmonger Trumpedo and his criminal cabal will use or fabricate any excuse to invade, attack Cuba.

[BattleRow]

37. @20. Is Merde a Lardo exempt?

[lastlib]

26. Whether true or not, it's an excuse he'll use. n/t

You don't think The Felon would LIE, now, do you??

[kentuck]

7. It was reported that Cuba did get most of their oil from Venezuela before the US takeover...

So, it is to be expected that their energy supply is in a critical state.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. He shouldn't be allowed to do this so close to an election.

What if he has an agreement with Russia, where they do something that was agreed on, to create that imminent danger from a foreign nation so he can interfere with the midterm elections?

[Bayard]

56. He wasn't, "allowed," to bomb Iran, or go into Venezuela either

The man does whatever strikes his fancy with no repercussions. I would also be willing to bet he'll try to stir up as much shit as possible before the election, and use it as an excuse to do something with the elections.

[Cheezoholic]

10. He's taking 3 days off because its time for his infusions. Hew doesn't plan this shit

They just throw stuff in front of him and he signs it. He's gone upstairs. There's been a full on coup going on for over a year. They want Cuba to turn it back into a cespool playground for the uber rich the way it used to be and him, his family and his buddies families will get all the contracts and own the resorts. These fuckers are nothing but real estate developers that move in, buy up ands destroy everything they can get for cash. I've seen it happen on at the smaller scale my whole life.

[wnylib]

12. Agree.

[GiqueCee]

11. Putin gets fluffed daily...

... and China makes nearly everything we buy, but Cuba's still taking heat for the '62 missile crisis. But then, cowardly bullies always punch down.

[Captain Zero]

13. Maybe Vegas is shutting down because

The mob thinks they are getting Cuba back?

[GiqueCee]

28. Well, if the Orange Lump installs another Batista...

... maybe they will. But the Cuban people deserve better than that. Let us not forget that a sizable proportion of the first Cuban refugees that streamed into Florida following Fidel's victory in 1959 were Batista supporters after ol' Fulgencio beat feet. Disillusioned Castro supporters weren't far behind, though.
But what Trump is doing to Cuba right now is just pure malicious sadism; he loves to hurt people; he gets off on it.
Another possible scenario is suggested by Putin's obsession by "the way things used to be". A Cuban Missile Crisis redux might have been part of his fever dreams at one point, but he's getting his ass handed to him daily by Ukraine, the number of mutinous front line troops is growing exponentially, and the domestic economy is in унитаз (toilet. Russian does not employ articles like the), so he can't really afford to spread Russia's resources much thinner; he's already cautiously avoiding windows. Defenestration: It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop.

[lostincalifornia]

14. I suspect this or something like it will be the "October Surprise", happening shortly before the

midterms.

[Justice matters.]

39. Crypto Pedo does not understand what "no new wars" means...

surveys indicate that nearly 60% of Americans disapprove of the U.S. military strikes in Iran, so spending new tens of billions in another useless war to make his already rich gangsters richer will not please these voters.

[lostincalifornia]

49. They will push the wmd Iraq war facade, using dryas the excuse.

[House of Roberts]

15. Trump's last toy broke

and now he wants a new toy?

This toddler tyrant's boredom is becoming more dangerous by the day.

[wiggs]

21. Right. Not much analysis needed....breaking things, cruelty, death help feed his hollow soul. nt

[flashman13]

17. The bully got his nose bloodied by Iran. Now he is looking for a small weak country nearby that he can defeat.

Cuba (he thinks) fits the bill. I'm not so sure. For my money, Costa Rica would be a safer bet. It has no military.

[BidenRocks]

29. True

Reagan already did Grenada.

[flashman13]

48. Ironically, Grenada did have Cubans.

[VGNonly]

57. GHW Bush had his Panamanian adventure.

[flashman13]

58. Trump is following in the foorsteps of some really classy Republican Presidents.

[Wednesdays]

19. Starting a war against Cuba, eh?

If so, then how many wars will The Felon have started?



Didn't he run on "No more wars"?

[Justice matters.]

41. And Crypto Pedo brags that he "deserves" the Nobel Peace Prize more than

anyone else who got it in History!! /despicable_clown icon

[bif]

23. One more opportunity for the rapist to fuck up!

[OGBuzz]

25. Generalissimo Marco Rubio can't wait to rule a country of his own.

[ananda]

30. That's how I've been reading it lately.

He really wants to take over something significant.

He couldn't get Greenland or Canada. He got
Venezuela to a degree, but not a complete presence
there.

See where it's going with him? He has a very sick,
extremely strong need to show himself to be all
powerful over everything he can.

[BlueTsunami2018]

33. I really, really hate these fascist motherfuckers.

They haven’t left Cuba alone from the second they won their independence. These pigs have done everything they possibly could to undermine and harm the Cuban people. Embargoes, blockades, sanctions, literally hundreds of assassination attempts, always trying to install a fifth column, starving them, preventing trade…..it goes on and on.

They do this to every country that simply wants to control their own destiny and not be plundered by imperialist slime. It’s sickening.

[vapor2]

34. Well, why not? Maybe he will finish Cuba before Iran

[LeftInTX]

35. Trump's "communism" talk is campaign BS against Democratic candidates.

A few weeks ago four DSA candidates won their primaries.

So, he's painting the Democrats as "commies"

Doubt it was about Cuba or he would have mentioned Cuba.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to war with Cuba, just because....

[NCDem47]

53. Oh, there's a bridge message here:

Cuba = communisim (bad)
Democrats = communism (bad)

Conflate the two

Trump invade Cuba (good)

Score points with Hispanics...just in time for midterms...who he had been loosing.

[rampartd]

54. he will continue to paint us red and to muddle the understanding of communism

then, during the war with cuba, he can accuse us of aid and comfort to the enemy.

[leanforward]

42. With regards to Cuba

No WAR. Start with expanded relations that is helpful to the common person.

[Dave Bowman]

44. Bay of Pigs 2.0?

[tavernier]

45. All this week very loud aircraft over the Keys.

Granted, it is the fourth of July week and a big one, but normally we only have these big jets flying overhead about once a month if that much.Yesterday it rattled all the windows and scared the cat.

[kentuck]

46. Hmmm..

Interesting.

[tavernier]

47. Yep. A little more than just interesting.

when you live 90 miles from Cuba and the Looney Tunes show is playing in the White House.

[kentuck]

50. I hear you.

[Turbineguy]

52. Operation Bay of Piglets.
