Trump will do anything to distract from the fact that he's all over the Epstein files.
I hope Europe and Nato start working together with all smaller countries to form a new Nato to protect against American imperialism and American aggression. Cause together, diplomacy is better than force
The article says "partly joking", but it would be insane to not take the US President seriously when he says stuff like that.
Yep. He's "partly joking" about everything right up until the second he isn't.
Whats even more crazy is you can show a MAGA an old statement of his and they say he is joking. Then show them him acting on that statement and you can actually see their brain melt.
That's what we call sane washing. He's one of the most powerful people on the planet, his words have weight, this is not some crazy guy on the street corner.
Just a crazy guy in the oval office
He no doubt does want to do a regime change operation against Cuba. It's just the resources are tied up with trying to get Iran to re-open the strait, give up their nuclear program, and disband the Axis of Resistance Network.
Result is the US is not coming and any change has to happen inside the country. Which isn't going to happen thanks to the US starving the people of needed resources
Result is the US is not coming and any change has to happen inside the country.
And the Cuban people overall like their government. Any pressing issues are wholly the fault of the USA, as far as can be assessed.
In a 3-day special operation?
FUCKING WHY
Cuba's current government won't let US businesses extract Cuba's wealth and exploit their citizens.
Someone paid him and flattered him, obviously.

Remember when our heads felt so quiet, because we were not constantly bombarded by the shit coming out of the president of the united states mouth? I miss that blessed time.
In other news: the US is runnig out of ammo. Yeah sure, let's open up a new front.
Dementeid old fool.
the US is runnig out of ammo
If I had a dollar for every time I read the "American military running out of ammo" story, I'd be richer than a Lockheed executive.
Americans are so easily gaslit on this shit. You can jump out behind a corner shouting "We don't have enough tomahawk missiles!" and they'll reflexively hand you $20B.
Not the same kind of tools would be used in a war with Cuba. In this scenario, the US has already the homefield advantage by controlling the gulf of "America".
Remember when we "couldn't" help Puerto Rico after Maria because Puerto Rico is an island, surrounded by big water, ocean water?
Trump on Friday said the disaster relief effort in Puerto Rico is complicated because it is “surrounded by water.” “This is an island, surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water,” the president said during a speech in Washington on his tax plan.
The Evil Empire is overextending.
After the conflict with Iran?
The conflict that you're currently "winning"?
Gotta distract from the failure of his pointless war in Iran by starting a new pointless war with a country that's more vulnerable...
Fucking fascist.
America First is going great
he thinks he will outlive us
So now we're off to murder a whole bunch of innocent Cubans for literally no reason beyond that probably the president was paid by someone to do this, after which we'll break our nose bloody again and fail, after which we'll look like even bigger losers to the entire world, after which we'll just declare victory and leave.
The US, ladies and gentlemen
“The Aristocrats!”
You can almost hear Hegseth's glee on the wind as life comes back to his whisky dick at the thought of an opportunity to mass murder more civilians.
Read: Two more weeks.
A three day special operation?
OK grandad.
Peace President keeping up the peace with yet another war.
Because a communist country minding its own business while trying to provide for its people is evil, while a capitalist country bombing country after country non-stop for decades while trying to provide for a handful of billionaire sociopath pedophiles is good.
Will he block the Gulf of Mexico?
The biggest problem in Cuba is the blockade.
Been 2 days since he said that.
TACO?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
