MODERATORS
Personally I don't think they're done with Cuba. I suspect they'll go back to threatening and attacking them after the World Cup and when they're done with Iran.
I don't think the Trump admin will be done with Iran until his term is over because the only possibility of settling terms would be an admission that the US lost. There's no way to flip it into making it look like Trump won.
I also can't imagine Cuba going well either. They have air defense, albeit extremely old Soviet-era missiles and MANPADS. I believe Cuba also operates zero jet fighters or drones.
I know Venezuela also has air defense, but I currently believe the Venezuelan government cut a deal to give up Maduro in exchange for removing sanctions. I can't imagine any other deal happening with Cuba. Is the US state really going to abduct 95 year old Raúl Castro? Or Díaz-Canel? The last op to attack Cuba was the whole Havana syndrome thing and that flopped. I don't know what the angle would be now.
