In the fifth year of WW3, the US is going to be saying the same damn thing. Gotta finished up your Iran before you get any Cuba, little Donny.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Well, at least he has lowered his expectations down from Canada and Greenland, but given how Iran is going, his threats are empty for now. There's a little bit of me that worries that Agent Krasnov might be doing this in cooperation with Russia.

[-] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 30 points 2 hours ago

It's crazy how often he accidentally admits he's a sexual-assault enthusiast, like here.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 3 points 56 minutes ago

How is this surprising from President Grab-Em-By-The-Pussy?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 25 points 3 hours ago

Only Donald Trump can outdo Donald Trump at being a piece of shit.

"You can't have any Cuba if you have not finished your Iran."

[-] Yliaster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Iran away to Cuba.

[-] bearboiblake@pawb.social 31 points 5 hours ago

I would have thought Cuba is too old for Trump

[-] glitch1985@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I learned about Cuba in school so this statement is accurate.

[-] rwrwefwef@sh.itjust.works 49 points 5 hours ago

This man is a Tyrant. The comparisons to the Third Reich aren't just satire anymore; this is exactly what it is.

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 hour ago

They were never satire. This is exactly who Trump told us he would be. It's who he tried to be during his first term but some of the checks and balances were still intact.

I deeply appreciate the small detailed Cuban flag on the Astronaut suit. Well done.

[-] minorkeys@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Just dictator things.

[-] graycube@lemmy.world 29 points 5 hours ago

Mar A Lago is drone & missle range from Cuba. He should not be poking that bear.

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 hours ago

Cuba, if you're listening...

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

Oh, pretty fucking please blow it up when he's there!

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

We need to uncover the corpses buried there first.

[-] LaoiseFu@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

They'll rest in peace if there's retribution

TRUMP will have th honor of taking cuba at the behest of MARCO RUBIO.

[-] AmazingSUPERG 11 points 4 hours ago

After Cuba he’s finished his wars right…..Right???

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 1 points 1 hour ago

"There is always war," replied Mordo Nahum memorably

[-] pie_enjoyer@lemmy.world -3 points 1 hour ago

Finish with Iran first.

I support overthrowing totalitarian regimes, but Trump made "no new wars" a big point of his campaign

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour ago

He should start by overthrowing the US totalitarian regime.

[-] pie_enjoyer@lemmy.world 0 points 16 minutes ago

The US, despite popular (here, on lemmy) belief is not totalitarian or even authoritarian.

The US is a democracy, flawed one and only bipartisan, but still a democracy

[-] YeahToast@aussie.zone 2 points 57 minutes ago

Yes, because America has an outstanding track record in making positive changes from meddeling in other countries affairs.

[-] pie_enjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

So what? If you were only doctor in the town, would you stop curing people, because some of your patients died?

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 160 points 8 hours ago

Someone should tell Trump that Cuba is older than 16.

[-] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago

Boom! Roasted!

Trump is an evil evil man, anybody who can't see that is a sociopath or worse.

He's talking awfully big for a guy getting his ass kicked by a country with a depleted military.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago

a guy getting his ass kicked

The Americans and Israelis have massacred an extraordinarily large number of people, demolished billions in critical infrastructure, and plunged the country into a bleak future of warlordism, poverty, and famine.

It cannot be adequately expressed how nightmarish life will become in Iran in the next few months, without a globally organized relief campaign.

What they've accomplished militarily is impressive, but it hasn't come anywhere close to breaking the genocidal grip of the imperialist powers around their collective throats.

[-] jrs100000@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Military force kills people and breaks things. The US military is incredibly good at this. Wielding the power of destruction in a manner that produces positive outcomes is the job of politicians, and the Executive Branch happens to be incredibly bad at this.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Talking awfully big for a man threatening a country with arguably one of the best infiltrations of the US intelligence network since the USSR. I'm unsure how true it is since the Cold War, but time was when you couldn't go take a shit in the Pentagon without Castro knowing about it.

Who had bay of pigs 2 electric boogaloo on their 2026 bingo card?

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Elian Gonzales is now a Cuban legislator, it would be the second time the US taking him into custody made international news

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

“I do believe I’ll be the honor of-- have the honor of taking Cuba. That would be good. That’s a big honor,” said the president.

“Taking Cuba?” asked Fox’s White House reporter, Peter Doocy.

“Taking Cuba. In some form, yeah,” the president confirmed. “Taking Cuba.”

If nothing else, at least future history class will be fun.

[-] lividweasel@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

“So what are you taking next semester?”

“Trump Studies”

“Oh, I’ve heard that’s so easy. Just remember when you’re writing a test that everything he did was wrong.”

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

It'll be the only multiple choice test where all of the right answers are the stupid options.

[-] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 37 points 8 hours ago

Cuban CIA, could do the funniest thing and nobody would know because it would just look like he died of burger.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Nah, go traditional. Get him an exploding cigar.
