Trump is prepping America for a military intervention in Cuba. [View all]

UN Ambassador Mike Waltz got into a shouting match with the Cuban officials at a UN General Assembly meeting a couple of days ago. He made the usual charges against Cuba and their communist government.

The Cuban representatives, at one time, started pounding on their desks to show disapproval of Waltz' comments. They exchanged accusations.

The Cubans said there was an embargo on Cuba that was creating hardships for their people, including power failures and shortages of food. They showed photos of streets with no lights and operating rooms during surgery with flashlights. A reported ten million Cubans were without power. They said it was equivalent to an act of war.

It does seem the situation in Cuba is reaching a critical point. Does the US have plans of invading Cuba and taking out their leadership, similar to what they did in Venezuela?

Is Trump's recent rhetoric about "communism" really about domestic politics or is it about the leadership in Cuba? Is he telegraphing his intentions for that island?

There are other reports this morning that Trump is taking off for the next three days. Are the plans being finalized for some sort of military intervention, perhaps in Cuba?
