In the wake of anti-government demonstrations in Cuba, many US officials are calling for Washington to intervene. The mayor of Miami has gone as far to suggest that the US should consider bombing Cuba.
In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Mayor Francis Suarez argued in favor of US military intervention and listed examples of previous US wars that involved airstrikes. When asked if he is suggesting that the US bomb Cuba, Suarez said, “What I’m suggesting is that option is one that has to be explored and cannot be just simply discarded as an option that is not on the table.”
“And there’s a variety of ways the military can do it. But that’s something that needs to be discussed and needs to be looked as a potential option in addition to a variety of other options that can be discussed,” he added.
In a separate interview with Fox Business News on Tuesday, Suarez again argued for US military invention. “The US has intervened in Latin America in numerous occasions and has been very successful,” he said. Echoing the Cold War, Suarez said Cuba is a threat to the US because it is “exporting communism throughout the hemisphere.”
Luckily, it doesn’t appear that the Biden administration has any plans to invade or bomb Cuba. The State Department said Tuesday that it is looking at ways to “support” the Cuban people but is downplaying the impact of the decades-old US embargo on Cuba.
You rank hypocrites. Complaining about alleged Russian interference…
Bomb Miami first. And what does this half wit POS think Russia will do ?
“Bomb Miami first!” LOL! Dude, you made me hurt myself laughing. Be careful though, the neocons may fall in love with the idea.
Well Miami has always been a hotbed of wanna be dictators expats from Venezuela, Haiti and Cuba with a bit of help from the CIA and State Department. Problem is they always lose in their puerile attempts like they have in the Bay of Pigs, the recent debacle in Venezuela and now Haiti. No need to bomb Miami. Sea level rise and lousy construction will take care of Miami.
How has the most powerful military nation in the World, managed to put so many mentally ill people in positions of power?
Isn’t most of the American population diagnosed with some form of mental defect ?
Pretty sad when even Mayors are using the term “options on the table”. Careful Mayor, that term is usually preserved for upper echelon nut jobs talking about nukes. But it was swell of you to throw your two cents in on how we can “support” the Cubans.
Words fail.
Another country to bomb. At least this one is close.
Maybe we should bomb Mexico too? Bomb everybody?
Yes, with obomber team in place, rice, power, nuland, calling the shots with sleepy, you may be close to their plan. obomber did brag at the time that he was a “pretty good killer!”
(I realize that your comment and my response are absurdities in the extreme but absurd seems to be the standard currently).
Bomb, bomb, bomb Havan.
I suspect that he needs some oomph for the next election.
There is no point in bombing Cuba. Six decades of socialism has already destroyed all of its infrastructure.
