Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami, just casually suggested military action against Cuba today:
“Are you suggesting air strikes in Cuba?” MacCallum interrupted.
“What I’m suggesting is that that option is one that has to be explored and cannot be just simply discarded as an option that is not on the table,” Suarez responded.
Suarez is a politician in Miami, so he is probably just pandering to hard-liners there, but it is important to understand why military action against Cuba is absolutely not an option that “has to be explored.” It would be insane, immoral, and illegal.
It would be an act of illegal aggression against another state. There is no pretense here that the United States would be defending itself, so it would be out-and-out aggression against a small, neighboring country. This is the very sort of act that the U.N. Charter’s prohibition on the use of force was meant to discourage. Article 2 (4) of the Charter states, “All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.” Initiating hostilities against a weaker country because you want to exploit its internal political upheaval is not noble or admirable. It is criminal.

We were going to create a false flag as an excuse to attack Cuba years ago.
Operation Northwoods documents are damning and were signed off on at virtually the highest level. Also introduction of Newcastle disease, Dengue and African Swine fever. Allegedly.
The anti-Castro hardliners in Little Havana are sickest foreign policy cabal outside of the Israel lobby. They crow constantly about the people of Cuba yet they support outright terrorism against them, be it starvation sanctions, aerial bombardment, or blowing commercial airliners out of the f*cking sky like Al-Qaeda. I honestly don’t believe these elitists even like the Cuban people very much, they just want the Island back.
Jan 18, 2012 Fidel Castro’s Message Against Nuclear War: Calling for World Peace
The use of nuclear weapons in a new war would mean the end of humanity. This was candidly foreseen by scientist Albert Einstein who was able to measure their destructive capability to generate millions of degrees of heat, which would vaporize everything within a wide radius of action.

That was a brilliant speech by Castro. Einstein said World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones. World War II was called “the war to end all wars” although many wars were fought after that. World War III would end more than just other wars, it would end the world.
Kennedy is considered a great president because of the way he is portrayed by the media. He almost started a war with Russia because he planned to kill Castro.
The CIA and Bankster’s work hand in hand. It does not take long to notice nothing is changing.
Nice Einstein quote Pinkprince, “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Albert Einstein
OTOH, there IS The Monroe Doctrine, Duh Castro Regime ARE totalitarian SCUM, and we do have to keep our military lads in practice. Of course The Realtor Lobby does NOT want that prime Cuban island real estate deflating South Florida prices, and that alone may be enough to keep “hands off” Cuba, lol…
