They call him REEEEEEK

[–] scala@lemmy.ml 11 points 21 hours ago

Please hit margo-a-lago. Thanks

[–] Kynsey@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

HA! Not even. Florida has nothing worth hitting really. You know what I'd hit if I was Cuba? The LOOP. Offshore oil tanker loading and unloading facility in Gulf of Mexico south of Louisiana. The LOOP handles roughly 10-13% of US crude oil imports and is crucial for exports. You think gas prices are bad now? Just wait.

[–] normanwall@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

USA is at refining capacity.

They could set one large refinery on fire and fuck up gas for the whole USA for months

Two big ones at the same time would probably cause shortages

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Florida has nothing worth hitting really.

Except for that one specific house.

Otherwise, Louisiana and Texas are fat targets for any strike against valuable resources.

[–] Kynsey@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago

And little fun fact the US might have spent BILLIONS building missile defences in Israel but they haven't built a single missile defence system along the gulf coast or anywhere else in the continental united states. The only thing they have is ICBM defence they do not have the missile defences the gulf states, US bases, or Israel have. If Cuba launched drones or missiles then the only way they can defend is to sit destroyers in the sea and try to use those to intercept them. Or use fighters. Which are not very good at doing that.

Another war? Did that FIFA peace prize mean nothing?!

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know, I'm starting to think that FIFA may not be a good authority on this...

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

you know, after this I'm really starting to doubt Trump's commitment to Sparkle Motion

[–] Lon3star@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Needs to start more wars so he can try to take credit for ending them.

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

He's going for the Medal of Honor now.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Cuba ain't Iran. There is no Cuban equivalent of the IRGC or trading network back door that extends to Russia and China.

When the hammer falls, we're mostly going to see a lot of dead Cubans and a lot of fled Cubans.

The real risk that War With Cuba presents is a massive flood of refugees showing up across the Caribbean and Mexico.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 40 points 1 day ago

I would put the deaths of a large number of cubans at the top of the risk list.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hegseth will order the military to shoot refugees

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Probably. Another case of lobbing a $500k artillery round at a guy who makes $200/mo.

[–] BonsaiBoo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If refugees can float to the mainland, I think there is probably reason for concern that asymmetrical warfare can be performed, regardless of their lack of traditional or ultra modern equipment. We have literally never avoided consequences from regime change abroad, so maybe it's a bad idea. Just thinking out loud here.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think there is probably reason for concern that asymmetrical warfare can be performed

I would be far less worried about Americans living in the Gulf Coast and far more worried about Cubans subject to US Total War on the island

[–] BonsaiBoo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They're already cooking trash with cardboard, at some point the suffering you can inflict is negligible

[–] Hotzmon@fedinsfw.app 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, it is still quite a lot of difference to have war on another side of the earth, than having war on your backyard.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Idk. What were the domestic consequences of our Contra War in Nicaragua?

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think they did just get some. It won't be enough to fight the united States seriously or hold out except in a house-to-house way but it will be enough to blow the shit out of the worst parts of it, should they choose to. Which they should.

They should start with Epstein's palm beach estate and the surrounding pedophiles.

[–] Teknikal@anarchist.nexus 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If the US disrupts my Rum supply we are going to have an issue.

[–] Solrac@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean to tell the internet you didn't have a problem work anything else they've done?

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago

I mean, yeah…

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

You can do this without resorting to slop.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You could get a few stray drones exploding over the US mainland but do you think it would stop them from invading?

Cuba can't produce any significant amount of drones without imports. Being an island in the US backyard they can be blockaded with ease. Iran can still import their stuff over land.

It's relatively easy to bomb every launch site on a tiny island compared to Iran.

It's also easier to cover every path a drone could take from Cuba and still reach anything of value. You have tons on well supplied air bases that can use relatively cheap munitions launched from fighters instead of using dwindling supplies of patriot missiles.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The US has zero tolerance for damage on our soil. People would lose their freaking minds.

and still reach anything of value.

Well yeah, Cuba can't reach all the way up to Georgia, so things of value aren't at risk.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 0 points 18 hours ago

I can see a nuke being used in response.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

russia should put a base in cuba. wonder if thats been tried before. hope it works. fuck america.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They'll attack Cuba, a massive flotilla of inner tubes, canoes, and rowboats will fill the waters, the administration will start shooting the refugees from the sky by the hundreds, and claim:

"President Trump is finally liberating the people of Cuba!"

[–] thisorthatorwhatever@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

10 million Cuban. I don't think the US knows what it's getting into if that amount of people get destabilized. The whole Caribbean then starts to domino.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 3 points 21 hours ago

All Trump is interested in is taking it over, and turning Cuba into one giant MAGA theme park for the wealthy, a Western Hemisphere Version of Dubai. He's going to do the same thing in Gaza.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

Why would he be sad? I thought that was the point. What better way to distract from the other distractions?

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

These days, Rubio just walks around with resting defeat face. IDK why OP felt it needed to be sloped-up to make the joke.

[–] bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What the hell did I miss??

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

krasnov's drunk again

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

DeSicko cowering in a bunker is a rather entertaining idea.

And do you suppose Cuba has drones that can reach Mar-a-Lardo?
