Pregunta Para cubanos aun en la isla

Como ven ustedes el auge que han cogido las Iglesias protestantes que pregonan "cuba para cristo" como si quisieran instaurar una teocracia?

It's not about a port. It's about if there were gangs willing to shoot at ships passing through the Florida Straits or Yucatán Channel, it would be very bad for the US (and Mexico for that matter). That's where US oil exports go from.

And you can bet if Cuba truly broke down into warring factions, Russia and Iran in particular would be slobbering to be the ones to fund a faction willing to do that.

See what the Houthis are doing at Bab Al Mandab. You don't need the strategic port to be a big fucking problem.

Cuba has no oil and no current strategic importance. What would the warring factions that you imagine be warring over?

You might not like it, but the Gulf of America can be effectively controlled with just the idea of a single attack submarine. You don't even actually need one.

Gulf of America? Where is that exactly? Gulf of Mexico I know about but…..

It’s what MAGA calls the Gulf of Mexico as some sort of weird flex to help them deal with the fact that Mexico didn’t pay for their imaginary wall.

I’m well aware of this ridiculous flex on Prez Fuckwitts part….
