Cuba may fall

There's very little the Russians or Chinese are able to do to help Cuba at the moment. Neither are going to risk the ire of Washington by sending an armada to break the siege Cuba is under at the moment, especially considering that both Russia and China have bigger fish to fry in their own backyards at the moment
Cuba was once a Mafia playground, they wont submit to the Americans again easily. Ironic, today is the day that Fidel Castro overthrew the Mafia State and took power.
Sad.
My xgf is Cuban and actually talked to her last week.
Her cousin lives there with her family and they said it is bad and the panic has set in.
Her cousin's friend who owns a family restaurant through 3 generations is already talking about unaliving himself. That business is everything to him, it's all he knows and put everything he had into it, financially and his blood sweat and tears.
Costs are through the roof, business is non existent. He's quite literally going mad.

That was my first thought, Russia is already in a mess because of the war. maybe China but do they want to challenge Trump?
Why does Trump want to break Cuba?
Andrew Chang explains why U.S. President Donald Trump is choosing now to cut off Cuba's oil supply amid an already-dire food and power crisis, and why, for T...

True, but there used to be the veneer of 'democracy' and 'freedom' they were pushing.
Now its just 'we want your resources, give them or else'.
I am glad the U.S. finally has a president who can do something about Cuba. It is easier to prevent another 1962 instead of reacting to it. Prevention is better than treatment: it is true for cars, health, and global threats. If only politicians were willing to spend their political capital on fixing things that are not broken yet but are about to be, we would not have had North Korea, Iran, and the current state of Russia threats.
How many thousands of deaths ate acceptable losses?
And are you really going to compare Cuba to those larger nations? They have no real resources to exploit, an island, and poor as shit.
Last flights out Tuesday. Last I saw they are getting everyone out. The planes can carry enough for a return trip.
Yes of course, police the world. While your border is wide open, your people cant afford homes or groceries, and you bankrupt your own country in the process.
1962 was not about Cuba threatening the USA, it was about the USSR using Cuba to do that. Having such a country in a close proximity is a threat.
Short term vs long-term costs. If you do not have money, is it OK not to change the oil in your car? Was it wise not to respond to Russia harshly after the Crimea annexation in 2014? Or even earlier when Putin started the selective prosecution of the opposition? Was it wise not to spend money to integrate Russia into the Western economy after the early 1990s in a way Germany was helped after WW2? Was it wise to let Hamas strive so many years untill Israel finally got tired of it? Was it wise not to strike Iran now and help the protesters? If you do not want to spend $$$ now, you will end up spending $$$$$ later. And, sometimes, it is not just money
Using your logic, was it wise to support the Zionists for the last 80 years? I understand it got the Zionists their own state, but what did the west get? Other than a whole bunch of enemies.
