Gotta wag the dog
Seems like blatantly obvious creation of a false pretext considering that we've known for a while the US is thinking of invading.
Axios has become a joke. They've been the admin's lapdog uncritically publishing their claims of negotiations going well with Iran etc. weekly and at the specific times possibly intended to influence the markets. It's become clear it's all just lies they're using Axios to lend credence to...
Wow so Florida getting drone-swarmed by shaheds from Cuba was absolutely not on my bingo card this year, but I can absolutely see how we got here.
Just take a vacation for one day until those drones are all used up.
Or just ignore it as the propaganda bullshit to manufacture consent for an attack on Cuba it is.
Obvious consent manufactoring is obvious.
They know whats up. Bowing down never works.
Donnie's gonna get his 51st State, one way or the other....
Cuba should just announce their intention to join the US as the 51st state and watch the administration do an overnight 180 just for shits n giggles lol.
There's no future where the US invades and doesn't just keep it as an occupied territory.
Good. They should also have nukes.
They tried that in 1963.
A crisis in an important waterway in the middle east is increasing the price of oil, people are talking about going to the moon, the US kidnapped a latin american president and the polio vaccine is on the news. Might as well bring that back too.
They could also bring back Lee Harvey Oswald.
Enough range to reach Maralago?
I guess the US will learn about drone warfare first hand.
Guess nobody told the goobers in charge that drones are quite small and don't need much infrastructure to be launched (who am I joking, they were probably told but ignored it) and that they are very hard to stop if launched in large enough numbers. You can see that happening with Ukraine and Russia which have the most experience with drone warfare, and they still can't reliably stop them.
Would they buy the actual drones, or the technical sheets on how to builld them? They don't exactly fit under raincoat.
Who says they need to be launched from Cuba?
OP, please reconsider posting blatant fascist warmongering propaganda as "news" without any commentary or disclaimer.
I guess they don't run on oil products
Typical authoritarian crap. The country is falling apart, people starving, no power, but somehow they can afford weapons.
Yes. But also know that an unhinged asshole is a few miles north
ok do you really have to shit on America like that? we all know things are bad...
Tbf, if you were the leader Poland back in 1939, you would invest everything in defense too, wouldn't you? After all, there won't be a Cuba if Trump invading and annexes them. Trump has also proven to be completely unhinged and unpredictable with his recent invasions so you can't trust any deals made to him. It would be like trusting Hitler not to invade the rest of Czechoslovakia after a deal to give them some of the Czech territory.
Well the problem is they would be facing overwhelming fire power. Seems like a drop in the bucket to me.
But look at all the dictatorships. They all do this. And I guess from all the flack I'm getting here most people think it's great. Buy weapons, not food. Got it.
Typical authoritarian crap. Disparage a democracy for exercising self-defense and ignore the genocidal sanctions against it by implying its issues are all self-made.
So you're saying that they should waste money on 300 drones which would be pretty useless against a county that spends $1T on weapons? While the power is out? Sure makes sense. Fuck food. We need weapons.
Iran has shown how useful drones are in self defense against American imperialism. Cuba's problems are not caused by an inability to afford food, but by the USA blockading shipments of fuel (and everything else) to their country. The US is clearly ramping up to attack once their siege sufficiently weakens the country. It would be utter stupidity not to try to prepare.
