Cuba hails wargame warning to US

Castro is having millions of civilians taking part in wargames? In other words, giving free military training to nonmembers of the party? That doesn't sound like the wisest decision for a dictator to make.

Yeah, mobilizing the militia can be pretty dicey for a dictatorship. Sometimes those civilians get weird ideas about individual liberty when they are toting their rifle and a basic load of ammo.

What do you want to bet that they never issued the AK's?

And another random thought: Who is harvesting the sugar cane crop?

This is great! Now, if the US Navy can send planes and ships to within a hairs' breadth of Cuba on a random basis, and make them perk up like this and stampede around... the country will collapse. They are poor enough as it is without these military excercises... keep 'em at it!

with 400,000 reservists joining regular forces and millions of civilians in wargames which the authorities say are to deter a US invasion.

Perfect scenario for a military coup.

Naaah... Any SF unit would be better used elsewhere. Just strap Michael Moore to a barge, anchor it off of the western, up-wind end of the island and feed him pickled eggs and pinto beans for 5 days. Instruct all friendly personell to stand clear of the biohazard area for the following 5 days. Allow 5 more days for hazard to clear. Perform mop-up work in full NBC gear, starting at western end of the island and working east. :-)

Iran must be getting worried. Their proxies are trying to get our attention.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

But, but, that's inhumane.

[Deguello]

Just air drop cases of baseballs, bats & gloves and the war games will come to a standstill.

[RichInOC]

Uh...I think that may be illegal under the laws of war. Besides, do we really need to kill all the Cubans and defoliate Cuba just to pacify it?

[AreaMan]

Hey, if an invasion does'nt work we could try a dropping a couple of these babies on the country and then just roll in to victory:

Tempting.
