    The actual metric to watch out for is the amount of bets on an invasion on Polymarket.

    They’re gathering intel in preparation for airdropping in Marco Rubio so he can go Just Cause on the island.

      Cuba is not Iran.

      If they resisted, it would be a post-occupation insurgency.

      Brutal, up close, and protracted.

      But Trump doesn’t think about the after, he just sees an easy topple, and it would fall quick.

          I understand, and I’m saying that an American takeover of Cuba would be militarily complete in 72 hours.

          Trump has the stomach for that.

          More than that, Trump might feel he needs that politically to help wash off the stink of failure from Iran.

          How he handles an armed and violent resistance to American occupation would be a different matter.

    Did intel of the Venezuela attack leak before it happened? To the wide public? As I recall everyone was caught completely off guard.
