Can you guess which nation is glad to see the US fighting in Iran?

So long as the US is involved in a war with Iran, and using up weapons, Cuba is not being attacked.

they got a reprieve from being attacked when the US turned its bombing attention to Iran.

Cubans are starving and doing without many necessities since Der Fuhrer cut off their oil supply but at least they are not being bombed.

I wonder if other nations will try to get some emergency supplies to Cuba while Der Fuhrer is preoccupied with the Middle East.

Regardless of how bad Communism is, the civilian population does not deserve what is happening to them under the severe embargo placed on them.

I do not understand the US obsession with Cuba. It is no longer a US territory. It is no longer a threat of any kind to the US since the collapse of the Soviet Union. I remember the missile crisis, but that is long over.

You’re now seeing the same thing with the pro-Shah movement in the US. They are cheering on regime change.

But the area where they are most concentrated is Florida and Florida is already a RW stronghold without them.

The Cubans who have dispersed to other regions have not done so in concentrated groups that would form a voting bloc in any region.

See: Venezuela, Nigeria… maybe Ecuador: all involve recent or ongoing military action.

Ecuador involves a limited anti drug cartel operation, not a national destruction and takeover.

Yeah, Ecuador seems different. From what little we know about it.
