Will Iranian Conflagration Motivate Trump & HIS Minions to Go-4 an “EASY Win in Cuba?”

Will Iranian Conflagration Motivate Trump & HIS Minions to Go-4 an “EASY Win in Cuba?”

Escalation of the conflict around Iran could have consequences far beyond the Middle East, and some events in the Caribbean region make one think about possible attempts by Washington to shift attention to a new geopolitical front.

The cat is out of the bag!

All the questions and debate about whether the U.S. acted preemptively in response to Israel’s initial assault, or whether the two powers operated in deliberate tandem to initiate an unlawful conflict have been overtaken by events. Both Israel and the United States now find themselves deeply mired in a quagmire far more protracted and costly than anticipated. The path to de-escalation or withdrawal remains obscured by a fog of recriminations, finger-pointing, and outright denials from key decision-makers. Yet other, less visible agendas appear to be unfolding in parallel.

Observers should resist being distracted while President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu grapple with the consequences of their high-stakes gamble—let them stew in their own juices!

It was about an incident just off Cuba’s coast, where a Florida-registered speedboat carrying about 10 armed Cuban exiles was intercepted by the Cuban Coast Guard.

To cut to the chase, looking at more than just the face value of the simple story—this may have been much more than a failed raid by Cuban exiles looking for revenge or trying to smuggle out some family members.  The deadly shootout off Cuba’s coast could be much more than a rogue exile action.

A YouTube analysis titled “Cuba Speedboat Shootout Is Worse Than You Think” questions if it could be a Cuban false flag for distraction but also raises the probability of US orchestration, tying it to Rubio’s hardline stance and Cuba’s energy crisis amid US-Iran tensions.  It also suggests possible covert US involvement (e.g., by intelligence agencies) and ties it to broader geopolitical maneuvering amid the US-Israel quagmire in Iran—to keep the pot simmering.
