Trump wants Cuba

Does Trump want Cuba because he is concerned with the well being of the Cuban people or so that he and his wealthy friends can build casinos?

Let’s see.

They have an educated workforce, gorgeous Caribbean weather, sandy beaches

And the people are getting fucked over so they’re desperate for work

Yup

Casinos

YANKEE GO HOME!
LOL. So you want us to keep the commies in control of Cuba?

Capitalism and Progress are good. Communism is bad. The Cubans are ready for capitalism.

Trump wants to expand the USA. Mainly for economic reasons, which is why he was after Greenland.

Now, with Greenland waning......his eyes are on Cuba.

Cuba has been a ghetto country since the era of Fidel Castro. We thought his son might take over and upgrade the country, but no......it's still a ghetto island. Aside from cigars, rum, and nickel.......they don't really have much else in exports. And even though the government has a billion dollar trade with other countries, they're still a ghetto country.

So, does Trump want Cuba because it is close by? Or because of the mineral rights? Or because it would piss off Mexico? Revenge for what Castro did in the 60s?

If Trump opens up trade with Cuba, thats one thing. But if he actually BUYS it.......thats another. Cuba becoming another state or territory of the USA.

Kind of makes sense now why Trump isn't doing much with all the Doge money collected from the past year. He's saving it for the purchase of Greenland or Cuba.........or both? Who would get the money if purchased?

What do you think of that?

Trump is big on national security, and I see no better way to help ensure that than by making sure that no US adversary can ever install missiles 90 miles off our coast. Or allow terrorists a close jumping off point to smuggle in dirty bombs or even small nukes. I don't quite see the economic benefits, we could end up paying a lot of money to make that island a US territory or whatever the designation is. But it makes better sense than Greenland does if your aim is on national security.

No they are not. (ready for capitalism)

So you are rooting for the communists?
If Cuba was state with 10.9m people it would be #10, between MI & NC.
When opportunity knocks the smart folks open the door.

This period of war isn't about Venezuela, or Iran, Cuba or Greenland, this is ALL about China. China is hellbent on rising to #1 and displacing The US as the dominant superpower. The real debate we should be having is do we care if China carries more influence in geopolitics or do we want it? There are pros and cons to each. The problem I see is that there can be no debate on this because the two sides are now so polarized that they will refuse to agree on anything.

Yep. Can't talk reasonable with a leftist after the first sentence. It's all TDS from there.

The pattern fits.

Venezuela
Panama
Argentina: He tried but the country is heavily reliance on Chinese goods.
Iran
Cuba

He is trying to clean the Western hemisphere and unfortunate Maduro was used to set an example for refusing to play along. Iran is probably the only holdout in the Middle East for not buying US military hardware. Cuba should be easy. The media were acting as if Cuba already escaped Trump's wrath just because China is supplying the country with solar arrays after Trump choked the oil supply.

After 65 years, I no longer give a shit
Capitalists exploited Cuba and caused the revolution

The Cuban Revolution was before my time, so I have no 1st hand knowledge of what caused the Castro revolution, but...

There was the "Bay of Pigs" disaster in April 1961.

Then there was the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, followed by the JFK assassination November 1962.
