  1. no it fucking isn’t, you lying war mongering pieces of shit.

    Nor was Iran, or Venezuela for that matter, or all those fishing boats.

    Oh what’s the bullshit justification this time?

    Nukes? Drones? Drugs? Somebody in Cuba is connected to an aid worker in Chicago somehow?

    Amazing how many imminent threats are popping up on the radar during the Trump admin.

    How did we not see that we were in Cuba’s and Venezuela’s and Iran’s and Greenland’s crosshairs for so long?

  4. The Trump administration is a national security threat to the US as well and nothing is being done about it.

    Yeah, nothing is scarier to the richest nation in the world with the most obscenely expensive military in the world, which is effectively worldwide, than an island nation with no electricity.

    The antiwar crowd is suddenly happy being at war with everybody. Shameful.

  7. A country that can’t keep the lights on?
    A country where we have a military base?

  8. The Trump administration is a national security threat to the United States.

    Trump admin:

    “How can we invade this country? ”

    “I got it! Lets call them a national security threat!”

    Rubio couldn’t tell the truth even if his mother’s life was on the line. Terrible human through and through

  11. >Cuba poses a “national security threat” to the US and the likelihood of a peaceful agreement is “not high”, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said.

    >His comments come just a day after the US charged Cuba’s former president Raúl Castro with murder over the 1996 downing of two planes resulting in the killing of US nationals.

    >Rubio said Washington’s preference was “a diplomatic solution” but warned that President Donald Trump had the right and obligation to protect his country against any threat.

    This was 30 years ago and Cuba repeatedly complained to the US about the planes invading their airspace:

    [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_shootdown_of_Brothers_to_the_Rescue_aircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_shootdown_of_Brothers_to_the_Rescue_aircraft)

    >The incident was investigated by the [International Civil Aviation Organization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Civil_Aviation_Organization) (ICAO). Their report concluded that the authorities in Cuba had notified the authorities in the United States of multiple violations of their airspace since May 1994.[^([3])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_shootdown_of_Brothers_to_the_Rescue_aircraft#cite_note-ICAO-3) In at least one case (13 July 1995), the pilot had released leaflets over [Havana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana). The United States authorities had issued public statements advising of the potential consequences of unauthorized entry into Cuban airspace and had initiated legal actions against Basulto, but had retained his certification to fly during appeal. After Basulto was warned by an [FAA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Aviation_Administration) official about the possibility of being shot down, he replied, “You must understand I have a mission in life to perform”, disregarding the potential danger involved.[^([4])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_shootdown_of_Brothers_to_the_Rescue_aircraft#cite_note-spytrial-4) He later said he considered the group’s activities to be acts of [civil disobedience](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_disobedience) against the regime, and a demonstration that such disobedience was possible.[^([4])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_shootdown_of_Brothers_to_the_Rescue_aircraft#cite_note-spytrial-4)

    The pilots were warned by the US what will happen. FAFO.

    Right. A country that’s on the brink of collapse due to lack of fuel/electricity is a threat. It’s like saying a quadriplegic in China is a threat to me.

  13. Confusedmage on

    Just how? The only threat is a humanitarian disaster because you’re choking the country into ruin so you can take it over and build condos

  14. Right now the US is a security threat for every other nation on this planet. Reminds me of a ghost driver blaming other drivers.

    The brainwashing propaganda has now begun against Cuba as the boogeyman as the next military target. So much for the campaigning of no new wars.

  16. TheBioethicist87 on

    So are we the most powerful military force the world has ever known, or can we be threatened by a country that doesn’t have electricity?

    It can’t be both.

  17. RagnarStonefist on

    Cuba has been just SITTING THERE, MENACINGLY. WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY MIGHT DO /s

  18. Could someone who truly believes that Cuba is a national security threat explain their rationale to me?

  19. Handsdown0003 on

    Security threat? Their military is made up of 70-80s Soviet era equipment, who know how much is functional. They don’t have deep pockets to support terrorists cells. They’ve been under an embargo for 60 years

    What is the threat? Cigars, rum and 60s cars?

  20. PM_me_your_O_face_ on

    Rubio is a national security threat to the US, almost everyone else says. 

  21. >Cuba is a national security threat to the US, Rubio says

    What utter bullshit.  They want the real estate and the capitalistic  development opportunities that come with it.

  22. TrillDaddyChill on

    It sounds like the US is a national security threat to Cuba, Mexica, Venezuela, Colombia, Canada, Greenland, Iran, Somalia, EU, oh, and the USA
