I am surprised the USA has not attacked Cuba yet. I am guessing the rundown on missile stocks has eliminated the possibility of a 100 percent air/navy campaign like they failed at in Iran.
- icantevenhold 2mo agoWhy should they? Cuba is completely insignificant beyond some ideological value.
- chadgpt3 2mo agoBecause of the ideological value
- lukan 2mo agoExactly. Cuba is a pain in the US politics since generations now. If Trump would solve it, that would boost him. But if it fails, with declared victory but significant partisan warfare afterwards - not so much.
- enoint 2mo agoIt would look worst for Rubio. The status quo is that 5.1% of Florida turns out for this. But Florida is no longer a swing state.
- microtonal 2mo agoWhy should they? To get an easy win compared to Iran just before the midterms? Of course, it could end up in a mess, but it's a mess already anyway.
- splicebot 2mo agoThey've been farming the Cuba thing since the boomers were children. Every election there are bitter Floridian descendants of Cuban exiles to court. It would be insane for them to permanently resolve the issue, and any actual resolution would inevitably be a disappointment to them.
- icantevenhold 2mo ago“Winning” in Cuba would also be very difficult. Sure Venezuela looked cool but what really changed?
- nizbit 2mo agoRussia doesn’t think so.
