Cuba Is Next!

I was wondering when the idiots would get around to this…..it started with Lindsey Graham making the statement earlier this month….

“Cuba’s next. They’re gonna fall,” Graham said of the revolutionary government in Havana that’s outlasted a dozen American presidents, despite decades of US-led assassination attempts, sabotage, and subversion. “This communist dictatorship in Cuba, their days are numbered.”

The remarks by Graham – who previously berated Trump as a “jackass,” “nut job,” and “loser” unfit to be commander-in-chief – come amid reporting that Trump is feeling buoyed by what he views as successful attacks on Iran and Venezuela.

“The president is feeling like, ‘I’m on a roll,’ like, ‘This is working,’” one unnamed Trump administration official told the Atlantic‘s Vivian Salama over the weekend.

This, from a president who said he deplored regime change and vowed “no new wars” while running for reelection.

Now Donny has made it official by stating that Cuba would be next on his hit list….

The remarks by Graham – who previously berated Trump as a “jackass,” “nut job,” and “loser” unfit to be commander-in-chief – come amid reporting that Trump is feeling buoyed by what he views as successful attacks on Iran and Venezuela.

“The president is feeling like, ‘I’m on a roll,’ like, ‘This is working,’” one unnamed Trump administration official told the Atlantic‘s Vivian Salama over the weekend.

This, from a president who said he deplored regime change and vowed “no new wars” while running for reelection.

“What’s happening with Cuba is amazing. And we think that, we want to finish this one [Iran] first,” Trump said. “But that will be just a question of time.”

Trump and his allies have frequently threatened Havana, ratcheting up economic pressure with the aim of overthrowing the country’s communist government.

After the US abducted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January, Trump stated that the country’s supply of oil to Cuba, an essential economic lifeline for the island that has been under heavy US sanctions for years, would be totally cut off.

Trump has embraced the threat of overwhelming military force to advance his priorities around the world, including in Latin America, where he has previously said that Cuba looks “ready to fall” in the near future.

Apparently Donny just cannot help himself.

Seems we are always looking for the low hanging fruit….it is safer that way.

Well Cuba would make a great haven for all the billionaires to hide the ill gotten profits.

Regime Change From 30,000 Feet

For a week the US and the Israelis have been plummeting Iran with airstrikes…..and the idea of this is not something Americans think is a good idea.

Americans are mostly lukewarm—or outright opposed—to Washington’s latest show of force against Iran. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds just 27% back the US strikes that killed Iran’s leader, while 43% disapprove and 29% aren’t sure. The survey, conducted as US and Israeli strikes were underway and before US casualties were announced, also shows 56% of Americans think President Trump is too quick to use military force, a view held by 87% of Democrats, 60% of independents, and 23% of Republicans.

Republicans are more supportive of the strikes overall, with 55% in favor and 13% opposed, but that backing appears conditional. About 42% in the party say they’d be less likely to support the campaign if American troops are killed or injured. Another 45% of all respondents—including roughly a third of Republicans—say rising gas or oil prices would erode their support. The poll of 1,282 adults, with a margin of error of about three points, comes as crude oil prices surged more than 8% and Trump’s approval rating dipped to 39%.

With all the rockets, missiles, drones and bombs who will become the ‘new’ leader of Iran?

President Trump reportedly is weighing a limited deployment of ground troops to Iran, with the installation of a postwar government a potential goal. But US intelligence analysts have warned that even a broad military offensive is unlikely to dislodge Iran’s ruling system, according to a classified assessment described to the Washington Post. The National Intelligence Council report, completed about a week before the US and Israel began their strikes on Feb. 28, concludes that Iran’s clerical and security institutions are structured to survive the loss of top leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, three people familiar with the findings said.

The document examines possible outcomes of both limited strikes focused on senior figures and more extensive attacks on government and military infrastructure. In each case, the report says, Iran’s leadership would turn to established succession mechanisms aimed at preserving continuity of rule. The likelihood that Iran’s fractured opposition could take over was deemed unlikely, per the Post. “There’s no other force within Iran that can confront the remaining power that the regime has,” said Suzanne Maloney of the Brookings Institution. The NIC report, according to those familiar with it, does not view the Iranian system’s grip on power as fragile. Outside experts said there is little evidence so far of large-scale unrest or serious fractures within Iran’s security apparatus.

One expert who has studied air power for three decades said airstrikes alone aren’t likely to remove Iran’s government, either, per CBS News. “The fact of the matter is, for over a century, states have been trying to topple regimes with air power alone and—I’m choosing my words carefully— it has never worked,” said Robert Pape, a University of Chicago professor. The White House did not say whether Trump has been briefed on the intelligence assessment.

In other words to effect a complete regime change it will take boots on the ground and all the downside that comes with troops actively taking part in this war.

What will Donny do?
