Cuban regime collapsing

[barnhart]

I still wonder how Nicaragua and Iran will turn out. Seems unwise to keep taking down one regime after another with no plan for the day after.

Nicaragua...
Are you referring to their losses in the World Baseball Classic last week, or has something else been happening recently?

If you mean Iran-Contra, where our meddling in their affairs produced one of our own, surely 40 years should be enough time to draw conclusions on how that turned out.

He had me a little worried, I actually googled Nicaragua to see if the US had bombed it while I was paying attention. The relief of finding nothing was real.

Well, that's embarrassing. Obviously, I mean Ireland. OK, Venezuela.

Yeah, because the complicated plans worked so well before.

I'm having difficulty following your logic. It will work out better without planning? Attack first, then play it by ear?

To me, the bad experiences of the past should warn us that military invasions do not always translate into good long term results.

Your comment seemed to imply that the unwise thing about attempted regime change was the lack of a comprehensive plan for what would follow. History would suggest that attempts at regime change rarely go well even with sophisticated planning, so maybe such attempts are unwise regardless of the the level of planning.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that. I agree with you - attempts at regime change rarely go well. I just doubt that a failure to plan makes them more likely to succeed.

Why do you keep mentioning Nicaragua? I haven’t heard anything from down there and I just spent a week with a Nicaraguan who was visiting us here in Honduras.

Never mind, just saw that it was answered.

Especially embarrassing since I have spent time in Nicaragua. Well, when I'm too tired, I shouldn't be on forums.

POTUS says Cuba is next.

“We have a lot of options on the table right now, and we’re looking at all of them very seriously.
And Cuba is next by the way, but pretend I didn’t say that. Please, please, please, media, disregard that statement. Thank you very much.
We’ll see what happens, but we’re in a very strong position.”

I pray the Cuban people will be able to manage their own affairs without US intervention.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the families that fled the Castro Family’s Communist Cuba were to go back and resettle. They’d be bringing with them the expectations of a life lived in a Constitutional Republic.

Cuba has completely run out of diesel and fuel oil.

I read infant and child deaths are on the rise.
