As if we weren't already overextended.

quote:

The Army Reserve has asked its commanders whether military police, medics and other support units could be made available as soon as late December to back potential military action aimed at Cuba, according to a new report.

An internal Army message reviewed by CBS News sought feedback by Friday about the status of those forces, which would be “possibly needed in 90-120 days.”

The missive does not mention Cuba, but the outlet cited multiple US officials who claimed anonymously that the Communist island is the focus of military planning.

This makes more sense than Iran, but in fairness the military is always working through readiness scenarios.

This doesn’t mean we’re getting ready to invade Cuba.

lol, were struggling with Iran

And it's going to cost the GOP 1 or both houses, and not a fricking thing will get passed or done, just charades and parades of activism.

I voted for America First and all I got was intervention in Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, and Cuba.

Lets look at the scoresheet.

Venezuela: Zero dead. Maduro bagged. They then bend the knee and give up oil to us forever.

Iran: Zombied. Decapitated to the point nobody can stop anything from happening in the country. No money for Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah, etc, etc, etc. No way to build more high tech stuff. No way to pay anyone. No way to buy food. Nothing. Rebellion hapening. But somebody runs a howitzer up to the beach and hits a tanker and suddenly the strong Islamic Republic owns the straits to the mid wits.

Cuba: Zombied. No oil coming in without our say so. Easy pickings that we won't have to do anything offensive. Just move in and help get them back up to the 21st century while rounding up an insurgency that won't be popular at all and likely will be hunted down and killed.
