I don’t doubt for a nanosecond that Trump might invade Cuba, why do you doubt Trump would commit to it? I think that is a really quite dangerous belief.
It just comes down to which way his brain rots, if there is anything stopping him it is that it is actually difficult to do it in a way that Cuba could provide enough organized military resistance to be an invasion and not just a bunch of attack helicopters strafing starving people without access to consistent electricity who just want help or maybe some fuel like the fuel being used in the helicopters to pointlessly kill them. Note: there would absolutely be violent resistance, that is not what I am saying.
Cuba is in a human rights crisis or very near it, far nearer than it should be for being right off the coast of one of the wealthiest nations on earth, and I think the brutality of that makes the basic logic of invasion feel disjointed even when put through immense political spin.
They know this of course, the dream is quite blatant that is trying to be brought to life here --> cause so much violence, loss and suffering that Cuba is pushed into getting more and more help from China at which point FINALLY Cuba can be narrativized with a straight face as the scary communist bogeyman and warhawks fearmongering about China to rationalize the dumbest shit will be empowered.
This is all a stupid preamble to the ruling class of warhawks declaring condescendingly to the rest of us “See, we ignored the China problem way too long and now the enemy is at our doorstep! We must become far more rightwing now and go to war with China before they go to war with us and it is too late!!!”
America: “We’re going to invade Cuba! But, we’re not really going to commit to it.”
