And what sense would make for Cuba to invent something like that, and then use it to annoy its biggest enemy so far?

- SilasX 9y agoThose are really good points. To borrow from the saying, I'd sooner believe that a) diplomats to a poor country engaged in risky off-books behavior,[1] than that b) the same poor country deployed bleeding-edge sonic weapons against foreign VIPs during a sensitive, once-in-a-lifetime reopening of relations. [1] Edit: okay, never mind; syphillis takes way too long for that to happen. Still, b) is very unlikely and needs a lot more evidence before we believe it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14980882 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14980882
