Monroe doctrine is fine, we should control our hemisphere. I expect Trump will mainly focus on foreign policy the last two years, democrats can’t stop him on that.

He either doesn’t learn, or doesn’t give a shite about what his voters want. Only aging boomers who get their news from Fox want another military intervention.

Then he could have focused on the western hemisphere while Europe and the middle east spiraled into full scale, possibly nuclear, conflict, and just said "see I told you so"



Yep. Like telling a kid not to touch the red hot eye on the stove top yet the kid's curiosity makes him do it. A "see I told you so" moment.

Many people rather have cheap gas and let Iran be Iran.

In less than a week, POTUS Trump reminds JD Vance who is POTUS and reminds Americans Marco Rubio is Cuban!! What a guy.

You “gotcha” and fake outrage is misguided and stupid. He was and is 100% correct in that statement. You are just too dumb to understand.

In hindsight, Trump should have pressed very hard on this, and let Iran just continue being a fricking problem after congress would have refused to declare war on them.

We have very foolishly neglected the western hemisphere for decades (a century maybe). We dont need the rest of the world for shite if south and central america are in good shape. We could still easily support our interest globally without committing a giant chunk of our economy to it. Keep the Navy at way better than everyone else's status to protect global commerce and otherwise, frick em.

Problem is that's not realistic.

886 US casualties.

Nice observation by you during armed forces month. Trump and his supporters definitely respect soldiers and veterans.

How much closer to today was 1996 when they shot down one of our planes?

A lot of people seem to think that the old way of doing business is just going to continue with this administration and it simply isn't. Cuba is a state sponsor of terrorism a mere 90 miles off our shores. That isn't going to fly. People can like it or hate it. It won't make any difference. The administration has made it abundantly clear that the intend to enforce the "Donroe Doctrine" and that is obviously going to apply to Cuba as they continue to host adversarial military assets right off our coast to this very day.


Months back now the administration released a report on Cuba entitled something like, "Capital of 21st Century Communism." In there they explain how Cuba has been, for decades, running subversive influence operations in the United States and a bunch of other shite that this administration is not going to tolerate.

People can act outraged by this, but they can't say it comes as a surprise. The messaging on this has been clear for months. The communists will fall. It is not a good time to call yourself a communist. Period.

A democratic Cuba


Given the USA's stellar track record of spreading democracy around the world, what's the worse thing that could happen?

Other than civilians being killed via collateral damage, no new democratically elected leadership, an unpopular, US handpicked candidate wins, continued civil unrest, billions in taxpayer dollars get sent there, and after more time, effort, and resources wasted, Cuba will be not that much different than they are today.

This action is long overdue. We’ve spent decades tolerating a communist regime less than 100 miles from American shores, one that once welcomed Soviet nuclear missiles onto its soil.

That proximity alone warrants serious concern. Combined with the growing influence of socialist and communist ideology within the United States, continuing to ignore the potential national security implications is an unnecessary gamble.

This all day long.

Trying to “save” Cuba will cost us trillions and in the end probably be a total disaster.

The “security risk” bullshite can easily be used to justify any and all military action, it’s ridiculous.
