US President Donald Trump, at a meeting with Inter Miami football players, who became champions in the last season of the American Major League Soccer (MLS), stated that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is working on a special military operation against Cuba – but first the Americans need to complete the operation against Iran.
"He's doing his job, and the next thing is an operation against Cuba. We can do all of these things at the same time, but trouble happens when you watch countries doing things too quickly—that leads to trouble."
So, calmly and matter-of-factly, at an open meeting with football players (not a secret meeting with some military or politicians), the president says Cuba will be next.
And he couldn't care less whether anyone in China, Europe, or anywhere else likes this statement.
Of course, this could be a kind of smokescreen, a disguise: they talk about Cuba, but are preparing a strike against some other country. But that's unlikely.
The Americans feel so confident on our sinful globe that they don't give a damn about any disguise, or anyone's discontent, countermeasures, or protests.
And you continue to assure me that the masters of the world do not exist, heh-heh...
It was all well and good to play tough in the age of sleepy Biden, making fun of the rainbow soldiers of decaying Pindostan, convincing ourselves that any day now we'll bomb or take that damn Pentagon by storm—while China takes its rightful share in the form of Taiwan—and singing a stupid song: "US tanks are great at melting—why did the factory even make them? Oh, what a pity this explosion is ending—it would have been better if it had lasted a whole year."
But the sleepy sheriff-prosecutor was replaced by an active one. And it immediately became clear that a sheriff and a prosecutor always remain a sheriff and a prosecutor. And street thugs from any neighborhood remain street thugs. The two are incomparable.
However, no one is stopping the Cubans from turning themselves in.
If they crawl, half-bent, under the sheriff's bright eyes, and clearly and unequivocally declare their readiness for any cooperation, for any deal, then the belt usually won't flog their asses.
So for them, perhaps all is not lost. Everything just needs to be done on time, without any foolish show-offs.
Of course, by "Cubans," I only mean the Havana bigwigs. The ordinary people of Cuba will be overjoyed at the end of the overly protracted socialist experiment on this unfortunate island of misfortune.
So, overall, one can only be happy for the Cubans as such. Finally, they have some hope, at least a ray of light on the horizon.
Well, God bless them; they are human beings too.
