Next news cycle: Invasion of Cuba.
Trump needs a win to make up for the fiasco in Iran. If this gambit backfires, we stand to lose the US base at Guantanamo.
The United States possesses the overwhelming firepower, naval presence, and proximity (just 90 miles off Florida's coast) to physically launch an attack. Trump likes that scenario.
Trump will not repeat JFK's mistake. He will order an air-strike to crush Cuban resistance before launching an amphibious invasion.
Trump has one advantage over previous US presidents: he doesn’t pretend to be interested in liberating other peoples. A US war on Cuba would be driven by a desire to reverse US humiliation and by greed. The profits would flow to US elites, but the wreckage would be left to ordinary Cubans.
