President Donald Trump said Friday during remarks in Florida that the United States would take over Cuba “almost immediately,” suggesting an aircraft carrier could be positioned offshore after the conflict in Iran.
[…]
While the president’s comments appeared partly joking, they followed concrete policy action in the form of broadened sanctions.
The article says “partly joking”, but it would be insane to not take the US President seriously when he says stuff like that.
Yep. He’s “partly joking” about everything right up until the second he isn’t.
Whats even more crazy is you can show a MAGA an old statement of his and they say he is joking. Then show them him acting on that statement and you can actually see their brain melt.
That’s what we call sane washing. He’s one of the most powerful people on the planet, his words have weight, this is not some crazy guy on the street corner.
Just a crazy guy in the oval office
Remove the ovals, put him back on the corner!

And the Cuban people overall like their government. Any pressing issues are wholly the fault of the USA, as far as can be assessed.

No they don’t lmao. Only the old generations still alive after the Revolution when they kicked out the USA are still die-hards. Most of the younger to middle aged people in general hate the Cuban government. How couldn’t they? They live the life while regular ppl have nothing due to the horrible sanctions by the USA. You don’t win hearts and minds with poverty, hunger, disease and death.
In regards to the sanctions: that’s a crime against humanity for an island like Cuba.
I doubt the Cuban people blame their government for illegal USA sanctions.
Yes they do. Spent 2 months there in March last year.
Sounds misplaced, then, because they are being sanctioned by the US for literally just existing as an independent country
Were the margaritas warm?
Lol 🤓

Exactly
I mean, maybe rightfully so since they’ve been threatened constantly for the past year.

The US will use up all it’s ammo on these operations and squander all it’s goodwill with allies, then someone will probably attack it’s interests around the world.
I for one will welcome our new Chinese overlords, as long as they install solar everywhere and execute a bunch of billionaires.

Don’t worry, the “conflict” in Iran isn’t ending any time soon…
What are you talking about? It ended at least three times already this year!
That’s so much winning, I just can’t keep up.
Maybe if he ends the war a few more times he’ll finally get that peace prize…
Fucking worse than useless press.
This man does not make jokes.
