The usual early fog but it sounds like 4 Americans are dead. Nothing yet on why a Cuban patrol boat opened fire.
Remember the Maine?
Hmmm.... Perhaps....
The way the headline is written sounds like he was ON the US boat during the mission.
Cigar run gone bad
They were in Cuban waters and refused an order to stop by the Cuban Coast Guard. They tried to zoom away and reportedly fired on the Cuban ship.
Meme coming up. 😂
They were allegedly in Cuban waters… Cuba, like Iran, is known to fudge the truth.
May have been an attempt to grab Americans to use as bargaining chips.
The Cubans say it was within a mile of their beach and when the Cuban coasties were sailing up to check it out, the people on the boat opened fire. They claim one man was wounded.
As I said, that’s the Cuban story. The exact location can be easily determined by our government. But in this day and age, you know Cuba isn’t trustworthy, and neither is DC.
Both sides mave massive incentives to shade the truth. SO I doubt Rubes like us will ever know.
Maybe they were trying to send care packages to family members!
If that’s true, then FAFO works both ways
Canadian Carney bringing in some Poutine ?
There must be at least a dozen orbital satellites with video cameras able to verify location of conflict.
Somebody I saw on a facebook page said the US fired upon the Cubans first.
I love the memes of Rubio, sitting in the Oval looking dejected, as he’s costumed for yet another job...
My take on the tone of this thread:
According to the report I read the American speedboat fired first. FAFO.
-SB
Somebody I saw on a facebook page said the US fired upon the Cubans first.
Narcos masking as a boat originating from USA?
