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





What a stupid frickin statement. Deposing of the communist regime in Cuba would likely take about 5 hours of work for the US Military.

Oh I know. I knew this was going to happen. I knew this term for Trump was going to be a disaster. He’s an emotional wreck and had no business getting back into politics after 2020 tbh.

You’re really fricking stupid if you think that would be the end of the money we would have to spend there. Remember Iraq? Afganistan?

It’s gonna be another great year for neocons, war mongers, and meddlers. Trump’s gonna leave us with a house of cards. Broke and without allies. I’ve never seen someone dismantle our wealth and goodwill this quickly. He’s bad at his job. Anyone still defending him has had to do a 180 on 95% of their stated convictions from 4 yrs ago

Cuba and the middle east are nowhere near the same animal. For one, Cuban citizens would probably welcome us, and want democracy. Nobody in the middle east wants us there.

It wouldn't be a 5 hour operation, but it would be a much different animal than a full scale ground op in the middle east.

Because our dealings in Latin America have have gone SO much better than in the Middle East. Hint- it’s ALL a shitshow

Venezuela was flawless. Cuba probably wouldn't go that way, but it does show a vast difference in our modern vs traditional approach and capability.

I think we could do it with minimal risk considering the reward - no more communism 90 miles away, great cigars on the open market again, some cool arse cars, etc.

2024 Trump is perhaps the most flawed political candidate in history and until my dying day I will never understand how he managed to win so handily, even against a candidate as terrible as Kamala. I suppose because somehow along the way a convicted felon who has cheated on all 3 of his wives, paid for sex with porn stars, opined that his building was now the tallest in Manhattan on 9/11, "joked" about committing sexual assault, dodged the draft, ran up the deficit like no President before him, and refused to concede an election loss to the point of, at an absolute minimum, publicly encouraging his VP to interrupt over 200 years of peaceful transitions of power became associated with conservative family values, patriotism, and fiscal responsibility.

People still bring up the USS Liberty regularly. Which is kind of odd since they say Beirut was too long ago to worry about.

So basically, whether or not an event was too long ago is based on whether it helps or hurts your argument.

They're used entirely different, though. Not very many are citing the liberty incident as reason to invade Israel. What they use it for is to question our unending fiscal support. The cuban missile crisis would be a solid reason to not dump billions, annually, into cuba. Other than that, perfect analogy.
