“Cuba is next,” said Graham. “They are going to fall. This communist dictatorship in Cuba, their days are numbered.”

They aren’t even bothering to address stuff at home. Trump wants a legacy and his legacy is gonna be toppling a bunch of regimes we haven’t liked for the past 60 years. Get ready for years of wars and engagements abroad. Little to nothing for the homeland. Congrats America! You got what you voted for.

They just want to destroy countries and then let chaos take hold.

Insanity.

But I don't think his voters will care.

IThe forced overthrow of the Havana government will have consequences that neither Orange Julius and his court nor the Cuban emigres dreaming away in Florida and other places have thought about.

Power flows into vacuums. That’s the way things are. A post-Marxist Cuban government imposed by the US is likely to find itself facing serious competition from the crime cartels that have spread out of Mexico and Colombia into Central and South America, especially a government lacking legitimacy in the eyes of the Cubans actually living on the island. They’ll not only be bringing in money, they’ll be bringing in firearms and explosives, with a level of organization exceeding the influence the Mob had back in the days of Batista (And back before most of the emigres were even born).

To any right-wingers out there reading this, this isn’t me being a “liberal”: this is me being a realist, the sort of realist that Buckaroo Bush and then Donald John ran out of the government and replaced with hacks and clowns—the sorts of realists who were proved right.
