Rubio is the greatest SOS in history.

And somewhere, Hyman Roth is smiling.

Cubans will "attack" the US, begging for help and offering to get rid of all communists on their island.

They, the Cubans, are in a world of hurt now. The Marshall Plan is in effect and POTUS Trump is dead serious about "protecting" this hemisphere!!

What is our justification for attacking Cuba?


Let’s see, off the top of my head here we go:

-They stole American assets;
-They allowed the Soviets to install nukes on their island so they could destroy the US;
-They flooded our country with illegals from jails, prisons, mental institutions, and insane asylums;
-They are in an active alliance with our 2 main geopolitical foes-Russia and China;
-As recently as 2 years ago, they were willing to allow Russia to use their island as a base for nuclear armed submarines.

Any of these justify war.

With that being said, the Cuba regime is going to implode under its own weight now that it’s been cut off from Venezuela and no one is calling for going to “war” with the Cuban communistas, even though we have plenty of justification.

I think they were already setting the stage for that move this summer at their July summit and we’ve made it easy by pushing Russia into their arms vis a vis Ukraine.

With full control of Venezuela and their proven reserves it was just a matter of when they could inflict the most damage as far as timing.

Without Venezuelan oil, Cuba is screwed.
Trump/Rubio understand this better than most. I'm sure the CIA is working in Cuba, fermenting some chaos.

You’re the person talking about attacking. Rubio wasn’t. I didn’t see anyone else in the thread talking about attacking.

Who said anything about attacking Cuba? Without being propped up by Maduro, their economy will rapidly collapse.


Absolutely! We are coming to their Aide. Betcha Cuba is better off next year.
They can probably afford 70's vintage Chevys and Fords once Communism is destroyed.

The US companies were asked to go 50/50 with the Cuban Goverment. The companies said screw it and gave it to Castro for the tax write offs.

It’s all about energy and the USA just cut off the flow of cheap energy to China. A brilliant geopolitical move.

China, Russia and Iran are scrambling right now and it’s glorious.


Do you, Sir, realize that Russia and Iran have a lot of oil? And that the more desperate they get, the less China (and India) pay them for it?

How many billions are we going to send to Cuba to save them? What are we going to get out of it? Cigars?

Uh, thats was not part of the equation, the split you speak of.

And we have another knucklehead that somehow thinks a "tax write off" is some sort of income. Explain to us what you think a tax write off is please.

A fun fact. Through mergers and buyouts the original owner of the power company in Cuba.......is now owned by Office Depot, though I highly doubt they will ever see any retribution.
