I recall that the Cuban military driving Fidel’s ashes to the cemetery had their Russian Jeep breakdown on the way. Cuba’s supposedly elite troops guarding Maduro were decimated in minutes by US forces. If this is indicative of Cuban military prowess a US invasion wouldn’t take long.
Nope. We agreed with the Soviets not to invade. We got Latin America on our side and there’s no need to go back to being unpopular gringos.
Will there be popular uprisings in Iran/Cuba? Let’s hope but not count on it.
